- Maximum Minyari Dome individual 1.0m grades from Batch 5 drilling of 82.2 g/t gold
- Further gold mineralisation intersected at GEO-01 Main Zone and WACA
- Extending mineralisation approximately 230m down dip and 80m down plunge respectively
- Additional gold-copper mineralisation intersected at Rizzo with mineralisation remaining open
Antipa Minerals (ASX: AZY) has obtained high-grade gold results from its Minyari deposit and further strong gold intersections at Tim’s Dome in WA’s Paterson Province.

The return is part of the fifth batch of assay results from phase one CY2026 drilling at the 3,840 sq. km Minyari gold-copper project.
Batch 5 results comprise 22 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 4,588m at Tim’s Dome and Minyari Dome, three diamond core holes at Minyari Dome and 79 air core holes at Chicken Ranch.
MD, Roger Mason, said two drill rigs remain active across the Minyari project, with drilling ongoing at Tim’s Dome and AL01.
“These latest results are another encouraging demonstration of the opportunities we have to grow the Minyari project, both around our existing deposits and through delivering new gold and copper discoveries,” Mr Mason said,
“The 22m at 8.2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold assay result at Minyari is an excellent result from previously unsampled core within the deposit area. At the same time, the latest drilling at GEO-01, WACA and Rizzo continues to identify opportunities to extend mineralisation beyond zones that we’ve currently defined.
“We’re now also making good progress at Tim’s Dome. Results from this round of drilling have now identified further zones of mineralisation along the eastern limb of the deposit above the AEM conductor target, with diamond drilling underway direct testing that target.”
Assays from previously unsampled sections of a diamond core hole drilled through the Minyari deposit in 2025 returned 22m at 8.2 g/t gold and 0.35% cobalt, including 5.1m at 27.4 g/t gold and 1.04% cobalt.
Mr Mason said these results provide important new grade information from within the existing Minyari deposit.
“Chicken Ranch is another satellite area where relatively early-stage drilling is highlighting opportunities for further work, with high-grade gold intersections returned outside the main resource corridor,” he said.
“We have several drill programs progressing in parallel, more assay results to come and a substantial pipeline of targets to pursue. The objective remains to systematically grow our understanding of these mineralised systems and, where drilling supports it, convert that opportunity into additional Mineral Resources to add to our already substantial future development opportunity at Minyari Dome.”
AZY was up 2.72% to 47.3¢. Mkt cap of $307.7M.
