Antipa Minerals (ASX: AZY) has obtained promising first assay results from the CY2024 Phase 2 drilling programme at its 100%-owned Minyari Dome Gold-Copper Project in the Paterson Province of Western Australia.
Key outcomes include the discovery of new zones of near-surface, high-grade gold along the southern part of the GEO-01 prospect.
Assay results returned for the first 12 reverse circulation (RC) holes (for 1,914m) of the CY2024 Phase 2 drilling programme (11,200m) included new zones of shallow high-grade gold mineralisation at several areas across the southern part of the approximately 700m x 500m GEO-01 prospect area (GEO- 01 South target), with high-grade intersections.
Mineralisation across multiple GEO-01 lodes remain open in most directions, highlighting a significant further resource growth opportunity.Minyari Plunge Offset Target “sighter” RC drill hole also returned encouraging low-grade gold mineralisation, strong pathfinder anomalism and alteration increasing toward bottom of hole.
“We are very pleased with this initial batch of assay outcomes from the Phase 2 CY2024 programme at Minyari,” Managing Director, Roger Mason, said.
“The ongoing growth potential of the GEO-01 satellite resource is again evidenced by these results, as we continue to discover new zones of shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation across the broader prospect area.
“We look forward to a pipeline of assay results over coming months as the Phase 2 drilling programme advances towards its targeted conclusion in late November.”
