Highlights
- Antipa Minerals confirms new shallow high-grade gold-copper zone in WA.
- Over 34,000m drill program underway targeting multiple Minyari Dome deposits.
- Ongoing success points to scalability of existing mineral resources.
Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) has unveiled a major breakthrough in its ongoing exploration efforts at the 100%-owned Minyari project in Western Australia's Paterson Province. The company recently confirmed the discovery of a new shallow high-grade gold-copper zone, further boosting the resource potential of the Minyari Dome area.
Robust Initial Assay Results
As part of its CY2025 Phase 1 drill campaign, Antipa Minerals completed 66 of the planned 288 drill holes, totaling a 34,000m program using air core, reverse circulation, and diamond core techniques. The early assay results—representing around 30% of the drilling effort—highlight a newly identified zone of gold-copper mineralisation situated south of the Fiama and Rizzo prospects. This find adds to the expanding footprint of mineral-rich zones within the Minyari Dome region.
Strategy Paying Off
The company has been executing a dual-purpose exploration approach aimed at both expanding known resources and unlocking new discoveries. Results from the ongoing program have not only extended the mineralised zones across existing targets such as GEO-01 and Minella but also revealed several greenfield opportunities, reaffirming the scalability of the project.
The broader exploration strategy targets resource growth at several deposits including Minyari South, GEO-01 Main Zone, Minella, Fiama, and Central. These zones remain open both down-dip and in some instances along strike—offering significant upside potential as the campaign progresses.
Strong Existing Resource Base
Currently, the near-surface Minyari Dome mineral resource stands at an impressive 2.4 million ounces of gold, with 1.7 million ounces classified in the Indicated category at a grade of 1.6 grams per tonne. The company aims to enhance this base further through its ongoing efforts, focusing on both brownfield and greenfield targets.
While Antipa Minerals is not an ASX200 stock, the developments at Minyari continue to attract attention from market watchers tracking emerging exploration stories.
As drilling continues into the remainder of 2025, more results are anticipated from this multi-target campaign. The consistent expansion of mineralisation across the Minyari Dome project underscores its growing strategic value in Western Australia’s resource-rich Paterson Province.
