Antipa Minerals extends Fiama North gold‑copper lode at Minyari project in Western Australia

Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) reported the first batch of assay results from its 2026 drilling campaign at the Minyari gold‑copper project in Western Australia’s Paterson Province. Fifteen reverse‑circulation holes covering 3,352 m confirmed that the newly identified Fiama North lode has been extended roughly 160 m along strike and 200 m deeper, with mineralisation remaining open in all directions. Notable intersections include 26 m at 1.5 g/t Au and 0.09 % Cu, 3 m at 2.2 g/t Au and 0.10 % Cu, and 10 m at 2.6 g/t Au and 0.12 % Cu, among other zones.

Three drill rigs are active across the project – reverse‑circulation at the Tim’s Dome prospect, an air‑core rig testing the 4 km AL01 gold‑copper corridor, and diamond drilling at the GEO‑01 Main Zone. The company has received $400,000 in Western Australian government Exploration Incentive Scheme grants to support the work. Managing Director Roger Mason described the results as a “strong start” and highlighted the potential for further resource growth within the district‑scale Minyari Dome mineral system. The broader 2026 programme aims to extend known mineralised areas while pursuing new discovery targets, and the Pre‑Feasibility Study is progressing.
