Antipa finds high-grade gold in previously unsampled Minyari core
Antipa Minerals found a high-grade gold interval in old core from its Minyari project in Western Australia.
The previously unsampled section measured 22 metres and averaged 8.2 grams of gold per tonne, including a shorter, richer section.
The result supports a shallow gold zone that the company says has also appeared in nearby drill holes.
New drilling at GEO-01, WACA and Rizzo has found mineralisation beyond areas already defined.
Minyari Dome contains 2.5 million ounces of gold in its resource, while the wider project has a reported 2.9 million ounces of gold.
Drilling has also identified more targets at Tim’s Dome and Chicken Ranch, which are part of the project.
Two rigs remain active, and further drilling is planned to test the newly identified zones.
Antipa Minerals reported a high-grade gold result from previously unsampled core at its Minyari Project.
The interval returned 22 metres at 8.2 grams of gold per tonne, including 5.1 metres at 27.4 grams per tonne.
The core came from the upper part of a diamond hole drilled in 2025 and was sampled while the company prepared for metallurgical testwork.
Antipa said the result supports a shallow, north-plunging gold shoot also intersected in holes 15 to 40 metres away.
Recent drilling has also extended mineralisation at GEO-01, WACA and Rizzo, while Tim’s Dome and Chicken Ranch returned further results.
- Who
- Antipa Minerals, an Australian mining company.
- What
- Previously unsampled core at Minyari returned 22 metres at 8.2 grams of gold per tonne, including 5.1 metres at 27.4 grams per tonne.
- When
- The diamond hole was drilled in 2025; the result was reported on October 28, 2026.
- Where
- The Minyari Project in Western Australia.
- Why
- Antipa was preparing core for metallurgical testwork for a definitive feasibility study when it sampled the previously unsampled section.
This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Antipa drilled the diamond hole whose upper section later returned the high-grade gold result.
Antipa sampled previously unsampled core from the hole.
Stockhead reported the result and other drilling updates from the Minyari Project.
- High-grade interval
- 22m at 8.2g/t gold, including 5.1m at 27.4g/t
- Hole drilled
- 2025
- GEO-01 result
- 26.6m at 1.4g/t gold and 0.04% copper
- Tim’s Dome resource
- 110,000oz of gold
- Chicken Ranch result
- 14m at 2.1g/t gold from 40m, including 2m at 13g/t
What people are saying
The 22m at 8.2 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.
