Antipa Minerals is an ASX-listed leading mineral exploration and potential project development company with a strong track record of success in discovering large-scale gold-copper deposits in the highly prospective Paterson Province of Western Australia. The Company’s exploration and advancement programme is focused on identifying and unlocking the full potential of the region, which is emerging as WA’s next prolific gold and copper mining province.
The Company’s tenement holding covers a vast 5,100 square-kilometres hosting 3.8 Moz of gold equivalent attributable Mineral Resource in a region that is home to Newmont’s world-class Telfer mine and some of the world’s more recent Tier-One copper-gold-silver deposits including Rio Tinto’s Winu and Newmont-Greatland Gold’s Havieron. The Province is experiencing an exploration and discovery boom with over 19 Moz of gold, 3 Mt of copper and 50 Moz of silver discovered in recent years.
Exploration success has led to the discovery of several major mineral deposits on Antipa’s ground, including the wholly owned, flagship Minyari Dome Project. Minyari Dome currently hosts a 1.8 Moz gold resource (at 1.6 g/t), plus copper, silver, and cobalt, which was the subject of a Scoping Study (August 2022) confirming the potential for a sizeable initial development with further substantial upside.
Antipa is pursuing an aggressive drilling programme this year, targeting significant and rapid growth to the existing gold-copper resources at Minyari Dome to deliver strong value enhancement to the existing development opportunity.
Additionally, the Company has substantial exploration leverage across a quality JV / farm-in portfolio with major partners Rio Tinto, Newmont and IGO delivering a cumulative potential free-carried exploration spend of up to A$115M, with approximately A$60M partner spent to date.
