Antipa Minerals strengthens balance sheet to fund gold-copper development
New drilling and feasibility programs to fast-track Minyari Dome Project
Exploration targets expanded across large Paterson Province tenement
Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX:AZY), a gold and copper exploration company listed on the ASX 300 and All Ordinaries, has announced a major capital raise aimed at advancing its 100%-owned Minyari Project in Western Australia’s Paterson Province. The company has secured new funding that will support ongoing and upcoming exploration and development initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to long-term project delivery.
The strengthened financial position enhances Antipa’s ability to progress the Minyari Dome Gold-Copper Development Project through critical stages over the coming years.
Funding Supports Strategic Exploration and Feasibility Work
The capital raised will be deployed across multiple workstreams, with a key focus on accelerating the Minyari Development toward a Pre-Feasibility Study. This study is scheduled to be finalised by mid-2026 and will be followed by a Definitive Feasibility Study ahead of a potential investment decision.
Immediate priorities include follow-up drilling under the current Growth and Discovery Program, which is designed to expand known mineralisation and test new zones within the broader Minyari Project. These efforts aim to extend the project’s resource base and unlock new targets to enhance the project’s standalone development case.
Additional capital flexibility will also allow for regional exploration, offering the company scope to pursue parallel discovery strategies while preparing for long-term development activities.
Strong Backing From Institutional and Strategic Shareholders
The share placement received robust support from a blend of longstanding institutional holders and new global participants. Company directors have also expressed their intention to participate through a separate share subscription pending shareholder approval, reinforcing their alignment with project milestones.
The placement aligns with Antipa’s broader strategy of disciplined capital management while enabling significant project and corporate advancement. New shares from the placement are expected to begin trading shortly after settlement later this month.

Expanded Exploration Strategy Across Key Tenure
Beyond the immediate focus at Minyari Dome, Antipa has flagged plans to pursue high-priority targets across the broader project area, encompassing both greenfield and brownfield opportunities. These initiatives are expected to provide discovery upside, enhance the development narrative, and create additional momentum as the company transitions toward advanced feasibility and development stages.
Antipa’s exploration and development activity at Minyari highlights the emerging importance of the Paterson Province in the broader critical minerals landscape. With a renewed balance sheet and clear work plan, the company is positioned to progress multiple milestones and grow its presence in the gold-copper segment.
