Antipa Minerals has delivered a major discovery wave at its Minyari gold-copper project in Western Australia, unveiling multiple high-grade gold and copper zones across its extensive holdings.
“The final batch of calendar year (CY2025) results are a tremendous way to wrap up last year’s drilling program, delivering multiple new gold discoveries in close proximity to our planned Minyari development,” Antipa managing director Roger Mason said.
“The identification of a new high-grade lode at Fiama and confirmation of a large-scale northern repeat structure strongly indicate the potential for additional Minyari style deposits to emerge close to the immediate development footprint,” he said.
The standout Fiama lode has produced impressive near-surface gold, returning 24.7m at 1.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.07 per cent copper from 39.3m, including 2.3m at 6.8 g/t gold and 0.18 per cent copper, that remains open in all directions.
Nearby, drilling north of the Minyari Dome deposit has highlighted a large-scale target zone that could become a key focus for future development.
Copper also made its mark at Yolanda, where Antipa identified a previously unrecognised trend beneath shallow cover, suggesting the potential for a sizeable new copper system.
In addition, several zones along the Reaper-Poblano-Serrano corridor are shaping up as a promising new gold-copper resource opportunity.
“This reinforces the opportunity we have to materially grow the mineral resource base around future planned infrastructure,” Mason said. “Planning for CY2026 drilling is well advanced, with field activities set to commence this quarter, providing further discovery and mineral resource growth opportunities.”
