Antipa Minerals Limited has intersected broad gold, copper, lead and silver mineralisation across five reverse circulation drill holes spanning roughly one kilometre of strike at the Tim’s Dome target within its 100%-owned Minyari Gold-Copper Project in Western Australia’s Paterson Province.

The drilling tested positions directly above a large, untested airborne electromagnetic conductor measuring approximately 1.2 kilometres in length and between 200 and 470 metres in width. Drill hole 26XTDC0060 reached within 60 metres of the western edge of the conductor, returning multiple zones of gold mineralisation including 10 metres at 1.5 grams per tonne gold from 242 metres, with a 1-metre high-grade interval grading 10.1 grams per tonne gold from 243 metres. The lower portion of the hole also returned strong arsenic and antimony pathfinder anomalism.

“Batch 3 results have further strengthened Tim's Dome as one of our priority new discovery targets. We've now confirmed gold-copper-lead-silver mineralisation in a further five holes spread over more than a kilometre of strike, directly above the large AEM conductor that remains untested.”

“The geological setting, metal association and geometry of the conductor continue to support the Telfer-style reef interpretation we are currently about to test, with diamond tails on several select RC holes now underway. We expect to reach the AEM conductor target in the coming weeks, and will eagerly await results.” — Roger Mason, Managing Director

The company has commenced diamond core tails on select reverse circulation holes to directly test the underlying conductor, with three drill rigs actively operating across Tim’s Dome, Minyari Dome, and Jezabeel.

Parallel exploration across the tenement package yielded further results. Growth drilling at the GEO-01 Main Zone extended mineralised hangingwall lodes, with partial assays from hole 26XMDD0555 returning 10 metres at 1.1 grams per tonne gold, 0.07% copper, and 1,328 parts per million cobalt from 136 metres, including a 3-metre subsection at 2.7 grams per tonne gold, 0.16% copper, and 2,096 parts per million cobalt from 138 metres. Additionally, regional drilling at AL01 defined three coherent gold, copper and pathfinder anomalies extending 500 to 700 metres, while work along the Yolanda Trend outlined a large-scale coincident copper-arsenic-zinc anomaly.

Antipa Minerals is advancing the Minyari Dome Pre-feasibility Study toward completion while conducting multi-rig exploration across its 4,500-square-kilometre tenement package, having also staked five new mineral tenements near the project.
