Antipa Minerals Limited Announces Discovery of Significant New Zones of High-Grade Gold Mineralisation At 100% Owned Minyari Deposit
Antipa Minerals Limited announced the first batch of assay results (3,129m) for the 2021 drill programme on its 100% owned, 144km Minyari Dome Project in Western Australia's Paterson Province. The Project is located within 35km of Newcrest Mining's (Newcrest) Telfer gold-coppersilver mine and mineral processing facility and 54km along strike from Greatland GoldNewcrest's Havieron goldcopper development project. Highlights: RC drilling at Minyari returns multiple high-grade gold and copper intersections, including new "Minyari East" discovery where further significant zones of gold-copper-silver-cobalt mineralisation were intersected outside the existing Mineral Resource; Significant results for the first eleven RC holes (3,129m) include: New "Minyari East" Discovery: 31.0m at 3.20 g/t gold and 0.26% copper from 383.0m down hole to endofhole in 21MYC0205, including: 2.0m at 17.54 g/t gold, 1.40% copper and 2.19 g/t silver from 390.0m, also including: 1.0m at 32.10 g/t gold, 2.29% copper and 3.83 g/t silver from 391.0m; 2.0m at 18.80 g/t gold, 0.82% copper and 2.30 g/t silver from 397.0m, also including: 1.0m at 33.00 g/t gold, 0.80% copper and 3.56 g/t silver from 398.0m. 6.0m at 16.83 g/t gold, 0.50% copper and 0.96 g/t silver from 335.0m down hole in 21MYC0208, including: 1.0m at 58.90 g/t gold, 0.75% copper and 1.88 g/t silver from 339.0m. 22.0m at 2.60 g/t gold and 0.08% copper from 294.0m down hole in 21MYC0200, including: 1.0m at 42.30 g/t gold, 0.16% copper and 1.03 g/t silver from 294.0m. Minyari Resource Infill: 21.0m at 3.58 g/t gold, 0.64% copper and 1.66 g/t silver from 100.0m down hole in 21MYC0208, including: 8.0m at 4.86 g/t gold, 1.27% copper and 3.01 g/t silver from 101.0m, also including: 1.0m at 20.60 g/t gold, 2.85% copper and 8.25 g/t silver from 102.0m. 38.0m at 1.71 g/t gold and 0.05% copper from 122.0m down hole in 21MYC0204, including: 2.0m at 10.16 g/t gold and 0.13% cobalt from 140.0m. 56.0m at 1.20 g/t gold, 0.42% copper and 1.08 g/t silver from 136.0m down hole in 21MYC0201; 119.0m at 0.86 g/t gold and 0.08% copper from 70.0m down hole in 21MYC0207, including: 10.0m at 2.21 g/t gold and 0.24% copper from 92.0m. 4.0m at 6.49 g/t gold, 0.26% copper and 0.11% cobalt from 149.0m down hole in 21MYC0200. New Minyari East high-grade gold-copper mineralisation: Enhances Resource and development opportunity Just 80m east of the existing Minyari Mineral Resource boundary; Remains open in all directions Intersected along 140m of strike and 150m of dip; Further potential Multiple additional zones of mineralisation within eastern zone; Diamond tails and additional RC and diamond drilling planned. 13,000m of 21,000m Resource infill, Resource extensional and brownfield discovery drill programme completed - Three drill rigs currently on site (awaiting assays for 10,000m). Summary of Drilling Results: Test for extensions of both the Minyari and WACA resources, which combined, host a high grade JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate of 723koz gold at 2.0 g/t and 26kt copper at 0.24%1; Explore for new zones of mineralisation proximal to the existing resources such as the new Minyari East discovery; Elevate the existing Mineral Resource JORC classification via 25m infill drill sections (i.e. designed to upgrade the existing Inferred sections of the Resource to Indicated and the Indicated sections to Measured Mineral Resource); and Provide the basis for project development studies. Assay results have been received for eleven RC drill holes (including one partial hole) (3,129m), which demonstrate favourable compatibility with the current Mineral Resource domains and have discovered significant additional highgrade goldcopper mineralisation immediately east of the Minyari resource ("Minyari East") where drilling intersected highgrade goldcoppersilvercobalt mineralisation grading up to 60 g/t gold, 14% copper, 25 g/t silver, and 1.2% cobalt. Initial drill results have already: Proven that significant zones of very highgrade goldcoppersilvercobalt mineralisation exist outside the current Minyari deposit Mineral Resource estimate boundary; Discovered new highgrade goldcopper mineralisation at "Minyari East"; Have further confirmed that highgrade mineralisation is commonly associated with sulphide matrixed breccia zones analogous to the Havieron goldcopper style of mineralisation; and Minyari mineralisation remains open down plunge, along strike to the north, variously open across strike to the east ± west, and potentially open to the south up plunge and at depth. Minyari East: Is located just 80m east of the existing Minyari Mineral Resource boundary; Intersected mineralisation along 140m of strike and 150m of dip; Remains open in all directions; Enhances the resource growth and development opportunity at Minyari/WACA; Further potential exists in this eastern region, with multiple additional zones of mineralisation intersected; and As several of the eleven RC drill holes ended in mineralisation due to the depth capacity limitations of the RC rig (including 21MYC0200, 21MYC0205 and 21MYC0208), these holes will be reentered with diamond drilling to extend their depth to further evaluate the extent of the highgrade Minyari East mineralisation. The 2021 Phase 1 programme was planned to consist of 21,000m of drilling, being 15,000m of RC plus 6,000m of diamond core. RC and diamond drilling commenced 8 May and 27 May respectively, and to date approximately 10,000m of RC and 3,000m of diamond have been completed. The Phase 1 drill programme was scheduled to be completed by midAugust, however because of the initial drill results Antipa will add additional drilling to the planned Phase 1 programme with the objective of fasttracking the drill evaluation of the highgrade Minyari East lode and broader eastern Minyari target area, including: Diamond core drill extensions to a selection of 2021 RC drill holes; Additional RC drill holes up dip and also up plunge to the south; and Additional diamond core holes down dip and also down plunge to the north. Further information regarding programme modifications will be provided following completion of the Company's review of these exciting drill results.
