Citadel 2020 Exploration Programme
Antipa Minerals Limited (ASX: AZY ) ( Antipa or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on the Citadel Joint Venture Project 2020 Exploration Programme in Western Australia’s highly prospective Paterson Province (Figures 1 and 2) that is being managed by its joint venture partner, Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Limited ( Rio Tinto ).
Assays for the outstanding five drill holes have been received of the 27 diamond core ( DD ) and reverse circulation ( RC ) drill holes completed at the Calibre deposit in 2020. Four of this recent batch of Calibre drill holes contribute to the evaluation of the northern zone and identified significant gold‐copper±silver mineralisation extending up to approximately 200 metres below the current (2017) Mineral Resource estimate. The remaining drill hole, CALB0019, intersected narrow widths of gold‐copper±silver mineralisation 300 metres south of the current limit of the Calibre Mineral Resource.

The results of the 2020 drilling received to date include significant intersections of gold‐ copper±silver mineralisation, including several significant intersections outside the existing Calibre Mineral Resource envelope. The available 2020 DD and RC drill hole assay results from Calibre confirm:
-
Significant gold‐copper±silver mineralisation along a 550m strike and up to 370m below the northern sector of the current Mineral Resource;
-
Mineralisation now extends up to 570m below surface, up to 300m across strike and over a total strike length of approximately 1,500m;
-
The mineralisation is interpreted to be partially open to the south, with the existing southern limit of the Mineral Resource having the potential to be extended; and
-
The mineralisation is interpreted to be closed off to the north, with the existing northern limit of the Mineral Resource likely to remain materially unchanged.
Citadel 2020 Exploration Programme Results Overview
The objective of the Citadel 2020 Exploration Programme was to test potential extensions and further define and improve ore body knowledge at the Calibre deposit as well as to test certain greenfield targets.
Calibre Exploration Programme
Status of the Calibre gold‐copper resource drill programme:
-
10,510m (6,730m DD plus 3,780m RC) were drilled during 2020;
-
Two Calibre metallurgical drill holes completed;
-
Seven drill holes tested peripheral targets between 200m to 700m from the Calibre deposit (refer to Table 2); and
-
Assay results have now been received and reported for all of the 27 holes drilled.
Citadel 2021 Exploration Programme
The Citadel 2021 Exploration Programme consists of the following:
-
Calibre Deposit update to existing Calibre Mineral Resource of 47.7Mt at 0.9 g/t gold and 0.15% copper for 1.3 Moz gold and 69.5kt tonnes of copper;
-
Preliminary metallurgical test‐work and possible early stage project development options appraisal work in relation to the Calibre deposit;
-
An 11,000m to 14,000m drill programme focused on the Magnum Dome area (Figure 10), hosting the Calibre, Magnum and Corker deposits, and Rimfire area together with other select regional targets, including Boxer, with the drill programme scheduled to commence in March;
-
Continuation of Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) survey programme across prospective structural corridors of Citadel tenements; and
-
Processing and interpretation of GAIP and drill hole data to identify further priority target areas.
The Citadel 2021 Exploration Programme, which was outlined in an ASX announcement on 21 December 2020, is operated and funded by Rio Tinto with a budgeted cost of $13.8m.
Antipa’s overall Paterson Province strategy is to deliver both greenfield discoveries and increase brownfield gold and/or copper resources with the ultimate aim of generating a short to medium

term production opportunity. Exploration activities within the Citadel Joint Venture Project are complementary to this strategy.
The Citadel 2021 Exploration Programme has been designed to ensure the safety and well‐being of all Citadel Project stakeholders including local indigenous groups, employees, and contractors and to also comply with government restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of the COVID‐19 virus.
The Citadel 2020 Exploration Programme and budget will be subject to ongoing review based on results, field conditions, contractor availability and pricing and other relevant matters.
Overview of the Citadel Project and the Calibre and Magnum Deposits
The Calibre and Magnum deposits are part of the Citadel Project’s large 1,330km[2] tenure. Within the Citadel Project, the mineralised material is covered by desert sand and generally soft ‘free‐dig’ sediments to a depth ranging between just 10 to 100m.
Calibre and Magnum currently constitute global Mineral Resources of 63.8Mt at 0.8 g/t gold and 0.2% copper for 1.6Moz gold and 127kt copper with Calibre having a Mineral Resource of 47.7Mt at 0.9 g/t gold and 0.15% copper for 1.3Moz gold and 69,500t copper and Magnum having a Mineral Resource of 16.1Mt at 0.7 g/t gold and 0.37% copper for 339,000oz gold and 57,800t copper. The locations of the two deposits are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Both deposits are located approximately 45km east of Rio Tinto’s Winu copper‐gold‐silver deposit, which Rio Tinto is continuing to explore and advance development studies on with first ore from Winu expected in 2024, subject to regulatory approvals, traditional owner and other consents and COVID‐19 restrictions. On 28 July 2020, a maiden JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 503Mt at 0.35% copper, 0.27 g/t gold and 2.15 g/t silver (containing 4.4Moz of gold, 1.8Mt of copper and 35Moz of silver) was announced for Winu[1] .
Calibre represents a very large‐scale mineral system with material potential exploration upside under just 80m of cover, with a strike length of approximately 1.6km, up to 480m thick and open in several directions.

About Antipa Minerals: Antipa is a mineral exploration company focused on the Paterson Province in north‐west Western Australia, home to Newcrest Mining’s world‐class Telfer gold‐copper mine, Rio Tinto’s Winu copper‐gold deposit, Greatland Gold‐Newcrest’s recent Havieron gold‐copper discovery and other significant mineral deposits. Having first entered the Paterson in 2011 when it was a less sought‐after exploration address, the Company has used its early mover advantage to build an enviable tenement holding of ~5,200km[2] , including the ~1,300km[2] Citadel Project that is subject to a $60 million Farm‐in and Joint Venture Agreement with Rio Tinto (who currently holds a 51% joint venture interest), the ~2,200km[2] Wilki Project that is subject to a $60 million Farm‐in and Joint Venture Agreement with Newcrest (who is yet to earn a joint venture interest) and the ~1,500km[2] Paterson Project that is subject to a $30 million Farm‐in and Joint Venture Agreement with IGO (who is yet to earn a joint venture interest). The Citadel Project lies within 5km of the Winu discovery and contains a Mineral Resource of 1.64 million ounces of gold and 128,000 tonnes of copper from two deposits, Calibre and Magnum. Antipa retains 144km[2] of 100%‐owned Minyari Dome Project tenements which contains an established Mineral Resource, with the Minyari and WACA deposits containing 723,000 ounces of gold and 26,000 tonnes of copper plus other deposits and high quality exploration targets. Unlike certain parts of the Paterson where the post mineralisation (younger) cover can be kilometres thick, making for difficult exploration, the Company’s combined ~5,200km[2] tenement portfolio features relatively shallow cover; approximately 80% being under less than 80 metres of cover. Extensive drilling and geophysical surveys are planned for 2020 across Antipa’s combined Paterson tenement portfolio as the company pursues a dual strategy of targeting tier‐one greenfields discoveries and growing its existing resources through brownfields exploration.

All diamond core assay results from the 2020 drilling programme have been received. Diamond core holes were drilled on a range of hole spacings along line and across line. Two diamond holes were drilled for metallurgical analysis. Drill hole locations and orientations for all 2020 holes are tabulated in the body of this report.
-
Diamond Core Sampling Diamond core sampling was carried out under RTX protocols and QAQC procedures as per industry best practice.
-
All diamond drill core samples were cut in half with an automatic core saw. All available half core was sampled, nominally as one metre samples but at times adjusted for major geological changes. Samples range between 0.3m and 1.2m. Half diamond drill core samples are prepared for assay and the remaining half core archived. All drill core was logged and photographed by the geology team prior to cutting.

| if so, by what method, etc). | Diamond Core Holes The drilling consisted of rock‐roll drilling to several metres above the Permian‐Proterozoic unconformity (no core samples returned), followed by PQ diamond core drilling to designated competent ground, followed by HQ diamond core drilling to the end of hole. A triple tube assembly was employed for all diamond drilling that returned core samples. The core was orientated using the ACT III RD tool. At the end of each run, the low side of the core was marked by the drillers and this was used at the site for marking the whole drill core with a reference line. |
|
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Reverse Circulation (RC) Drill Samples RC sample recovery was maximized by endeavoring to maintain a dry drilling conditions as much as practicable. Relationships between recovery and grade are not evident and are not expected given the generally excellent and consistently high sample recovery. RC samples were also weighed on arrival at the laboratory. Sample weights were reviewed to identify potential loss. There is potential for a minor loss of sample in the running sand cover in the Permian due to the unconsolidated nature of this unit. No evidence for loss exists in basement samples. Diamond Core Holes Core recovery was measured and recorded continuously from the start of the casing to the end of the hole for every hole. Each core run length (PQ 1.5m, HQ 3m) was marked by a core block which provided the depth, the core drilled and the core recovery. Generally, core recovery was > 99%. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Reverse Circulation (RC) Drill and Diamond Core Logging Geological logging of 100% of all intervals was carried out recording colour, weathering, lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and sulphides. Logging includes both qualitative and quantitative components. The logging of the RC chips was done after sieving and washing of the material collected from the RC rig’s cyclone. For diamond core holes structural and geotechnical measurements were also recorded. All the drill holes were logged before sampling. All logging is entered directly into a ruggedized Toughbook and is only uploaded into an acQuire database once a series of QAQC checks have been ran. The core was photographed both wet and dry inside the core trays. The RC chip trays were photographed wet. |

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub‐sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second‐half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Reverse Circulation (RC) Samples All samples are crushed and pulverised at the laboratory to produce material for assay. Diamond Core Samples Diamond core samples were sawn in two and half was collected in a calico bag and submitted for analysis. The other half was kept in core trays and archived. The core was typically sampled at 1 m intervals with breaks for major geological changes, with sample interval lengths ranging from 0.3m to 1.2m. CALB0023 and CALB0024 were analysed with CoreScan’s Hyperspectral Core Imager, or similar technology, which integrates high resolution reflectance spectroscopy (0.5mm), visual imagery (0.05mm) and 3D laser profiling to map mineralogy and geochemistry. Selective samples were taken for petrographic analysis. All samples are crushed and pulverised at the laboratory to produce material for assay. Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Core Sample Preparation Sample preparation of RC samples was completed at ALS Limited laboratory in Perth following industry best practice in sample preparation involving oven drying, coarse crushing of the RC sample down to nominal 70% passing ‐2 mm to produce a 750 gram sub‐sample, followed by pulverisation of the entire sample (total prep) using a LM2 grinding mill to a grind size of 85% passing 75 µm and split into 30 gram sub–sample/s for analysis. Duplicate samples were collected at each stage of the preparation, with a rate of 1:20 (field duplicates) or 1:55 (crush and pulp duplicates) samples. Duplicate results show acceptable levels of precision for the style of mineralisation. The sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly represent the vein hosted style of mineralisation encountered in the region, the thickness and consistency of the intersections and the sampling methodology. |

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Analytical Techniques All samples were submitted to an ALS Limited laboratory in Perth. 51 elements were analysed for using 4‐acid digest followed by ICP‐OES/MS measurements including qualitative Au, Pt and Pd. 30 grams of sample were used for Au analysis by fire assay with ICP‐AES finish. Any Au samples which trigger the over range analysis method (>10ppm Au) will be analysed with AAS finish. Portable XRF analysis on pulp for Cr, Nb, S, Si, Ta, Ti, Y and Zr was done using a SciAps X200 instrument. Quality control samples consisted of field duplicates (1:20), crush duplicates (1:55), pulp duplicates (1:55), blanks (1:50) and commercial certified reference materials (3:100) with the grade of the inserted standards not revealed to the laboratory.

All the sample intervals were visually verified using high quality core and chip tray photography through Imago. All logging is entered directly into the acQuire interface in a Toughbook laptop which is backed up daily. Further data validation is carried out during upload to the acQuire database prior to data being available for use. No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data collected, which are electronically uploaded from the laboratory to the database. No twinned holes have been drilled at Calibre. A systematic analysis of duplicate samples was carried out at each stage of sampling including field, crush and pulp duplicates. The results from this analysis were within acceptable range for this type of mineralisation. |

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down‐hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
km = kilometre; m = metre; mm = millimetre. Drill hole collar locations are initially surveyed using a handheld Garmin 64S GPS which has an accuracy of ± 3 m. These locations are confirmed by an independent survey contractor using a Differential GPS (Leica Viva GNSS base and rover system operating in RTK mode to a stated accuracy of +/‐ 20mm). The drilling co‐ordinates are all in Geocentric Datum of Australia GDA94 MGA Zone 51 co‐ordinates. Inclined RC and DD drill holes are checked for drill rig set‐up azimuth using a Suunto Sighting Compass from two directions. Drill hole inclination is set by the driller using a clinometer on the drill mast and checked by the geologist prior the drilling commencing. Drill hole down hole surveys were ran for the majority of RC and DD holes at Calibre with exception to any RC holes drilled vertical. The topography is relatively flat, and if defaulted the topographic surface is set to 250m RL. Prior to 2019 the Company has utilised and referenced a local grid at Calibre which is defined below. References in the text and the Calibre deposit diagrams are all in the Local Grid. Table 1 is in GDA94 / MGA Zone 51: Calibre Local Grid 0.00m east is 421,535.53m east in GDA94 / MGA Zone 51; |

| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
The reporting of both RC and diamond core assay results as broader intersection intervals may occur on the basis tabulated in the body of this report. Regional Geophysical Targets (AEM ± aeromagnetic): Drill spacing was variable depending on target rank, target dimensions (along strike and/or across strike); if more than one drill line per target then drill lines were generally spaced approximately 250 to 750 m apart with an average drill hole spacing on each section between 50 to 100 m. The typical section spacing/drill hole distribution is not considered adequate for the purpose of Mineral Resource estimation. Calibre deposit 2020 RC and diamond core holes may be used for the purpose of Mineral Resource estimation in conjunction with other drill holes (i.e. pre 2020 RC and diamond core drill holes, including the 2019 RC and diamond core holes). |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
No consistent and/or documented material sampling bias resulting from a structural orientation has been identified for the “regional” geophysical targets at this point in time. For the Calibre deposit drilling is mainly orientated perpendicular to the dominant structural trend. However, both folding, multiple vein directions and faulting have been variously recorded in the region via diamond core drilling, surface mapping and geophysical datasets. |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Samples were assigned a unique sample number. All RC and DD samples were placed in calico bags clearly marked with the assigned sample number, and placed in bulka bags, wrapped in plastic and transported by company transport to Port Hedland and by private haulage to the ALS sample preparation facility in Wangara, Perth, Western Australia. Each sample was given a barcode at the laboratory and the laboratory reconciled the received sample list with physical samples. Barcode readers were used at the different stages of the analytical process. The laboratory uses a LIMS system that further ensures the integrity of results. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Sampling techniques and procedures are regularly reviewed internally, as is the data. Consultants Snowden, during completion of the 2013 Calibre Mineral Resource estimate, undertook a desktop review of the Company’s sampling techniques and data management and found them to be consistent with industry standards. |

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Prior to 1991 limited to no known mineral exploration activities. 1991 to 1996 BHP Australia completed various regional airborne geophysical surveys (e.g. aeromagnetics, radiometrics, GeoTEM, ground magnetics, surface EM), geochemical Air core and selected diamond core drilling programmes across a significant area which covered the Citadel Project. Whilst this era of exploration highlighted a number of areas as being variously anomalous, BHP did not locate any basement (Proterozoic) precious or base metal mineralisation. In 1995 BHP Minerals completed an MMI‐A/MMI‐B soil programme over an area which was ultimately found to be the region within which the Magnum deposit was located. 1997 to 2002 JV partners Croesus‐Gindalbie completed minor surface geophysical surveys (e.g. electromagnetics) and various drilling programmes across parts of the Citadel Project (i.e. 17 x Diamond core, 10 x RC and 134 x Air core drill holes) leading to the discovery of the Magnum Au‐Cu‐ Ag deposit, and its partial delineation, in 1998. 2002 to 2003 JV partners Teck Cominco and Croesus‐Gindalbie completed detailed aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys over the entire Citadel Project, Pole‐Pole IP over 8 targets and limited drilling (i.e. 4 x Diamond core holes) within the Citadel Project. 2004 to 2005 JV partners NGM Resources and Croesus‐Gindalbie completed limited drilling (i.e. 3 x Diamond core holes) at selected Citadel Project prospects intersecting minor Au‐Cu‐Ag mineralisation at the Colt prospect. 2006 to 2010 Glengarry Resources/Centaurus Metals undertook re‐processing of existing data and re‐logging of some drill core. No drilling or geophysical surveys were undertaken, and so no new exploration results were forthcoming. 2011 to 2015 Antipa Minerals Ltd completed exploration of the Citadel Project including both regional and prospect/area scale geophysical surveys (i.e. VTEM, ground EM, DHEM, ground |

The Paterson is a low to moderate grade metamorphic grade (i.e. greenschist to lower‐amphibolite) terrane, with local hydrothermal alteration and/or contact metamorphic mineral assemblages and styles are indicative of a high‐temperature local environment. Precious and/or base metal mineralisation is hydrothermal in nature and is shear, fault and strata/contact controlled and is typically sulphide bearing. Mineralisation styles include vein, stockwork, breccia and skarns. Mineralisation includes chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, bismuthine, sphalerite, galena, scheelite and wolframite. |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
|
A summary of all available information material to the understanding of the exploration region exploration results can be found in the main body of the report (including drill hole collar table providing collar co‐ordinates, orientations and length for all reported drill holes). A summary of all available previously reported information material to the understanding of the exploration region exploration results can also be found in previous Western Australia (WA) DMIRS publicly available reports. All the various technical and exploration reports are publicly accessible via the WA DMIRS’ online WAMEX system. The specific WA DMIRS WAMEX and other reports related to the exploration information the subject of this public disclosure have been referenced in previous public reports. Antipa Minerals Ltd publicly disclosed reports provide details of all exploration completed by the Company since 2011; these reports are all available to view onwww.antipaminerals.com.au and www.asx.com.au. |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut‐off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
|
This release has no reference to previously unreported drill results, sampling, assays or mineralisation. Antipa Minerals Ltd publicly disclosed reports provide details of all exploration completed by the Company since 2011; these reports are all available to view onwww.antipaminerals.com.au and www.asx.com.au. The reported average intersection grades may be length‐weighted averages, with a minimum downhole intersection interval length of generally 1m and maximum internal dilution allowed is generally 10m. Metal equivalence is not used in this report. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
| Calibre Deposit: The reported intersection lengths are down hole in nature and the true width, which will be dependent on the local mineralisation geometry/setting, is not known with complete certainty. For the RC and diamond core holes down hole intersections represent between 25 to 75% of the mineralisation domain/envelope true width depending on the drill hole orientation, both azimuth and dip. |

|---|---|---|---|
| | Regional Geophysical Targets (AEM ± aeromagnetic): The drill section spacing and sampling, at this stage, is insufficient to establish the geometrical relationships between the drill holes and any mineralised structures. Therefore, at this stage the reported intersection lengths are down hole in nature and the true width, which will be dependent on the local mineralisation geometry/setting, is not known. |
||
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
|
All appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts are reported or can sometimes be found in previous WA DMIRS WAMEX publicly available reports. This release has no reference to previously unreported drill results, sampling, assays or mineralisation. Antipa Minerals Ltd publicly disclosed reports provide maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts generated by the Company since 2011; these reports are all available to view on www.antipaminerals.com.auandwww.asx.com.au. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
|
All significant results are reported or can sometimes be found in previous WA DMIRS WAMEX publicly available reports. This release has no reference to previously unreported drill results, sampling, assays or mineralisation.

This announcement refers to previous exploration results including geophysics, drill results and geology which can be found in previous public reports. All meaningful and material information has been included in the body of the text or can sometimes be found in previous WA DMIRS WAMEX publicly available reports. Zones of mineralisation and associated waste material have been measured for their specific gravity (“density”) at both the Calibre and Magnum deposits located on exploration licence E45/2877. The measurement used the hydrostatic/gravimetric method (Archimedes Principle of buoyancy). Multi element assaying has been conducted variously for a suite of potentially deleterious elements including arsenic, sulfur, lead, zinc and magnesium. Hyperspectral and high‐resolution core imagery may be collected in 2020 for the 2019 diamond core using a CoreScan Hyperspectral Core Imager, or similar technology. To date no downhole ‘logging’ surveys have been completed for the 2020 drill holes. Geotechnical logging (e.g. Recovery, RQD and Fracture Frequency) is not possible for RC drill material; however, all diamond core holes (i.e. Calibre, Magnum, Corker, Blue Steel, etc) receive geotechnical logging. No geotechnical logging was obtained from the WA DMIRS WAMEX reports. Downhole information on structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle, gamma angle, |

texture and fill material is not possible for RC drill material; however all diamond core holes (i.e. Calibre, Magnum, Corker, Blue Steel, etc) receive structural logging which can be obtained from the Company’s pre‐existing SQL database and WA DMIRS WAMEX reports. Metallurgical test‐work results available on these particular tenements is restricted to the Calibre gold‐copper‐silver‐tungsten deposit. Preliminary metallurgical test‐work results are available for the Calibre deposit, this report is available to view onwww.antipaminerals.com.auand www.asx.com.au. The Calibre deposit’s simple and coarse grained copper mineralogy, is almost exclusively chalcopyrite. Very limited to no copper oxide or other copper sulphide minerals were observed. The gangue mineralogy is dominated by quartz and feldspar. The straightforward mineralogy has produced very favourable metallurgical outcomes from the low copper ore grades of Calibre. Preliminary metallurgical test work was completed at the Bureau Veritas Minerals Pty Ltd laboratories in Perth, Western Australia under the management of Bureau Veritas metallurgists and Antipa’s Managing Director. A master 39 kilogram metallurgical composite sample was composed of material from 90 individual samples. All samples were collected from diamond core representative of the Calibre gold‐copper‐ silver‐tungsten mineralisation. As no oxide mineralisation is known to occur at Calibre the samples were all of primary and transitional mineralisation. The master metallurgical composite sample was constructed to have precious and base metal grades comparable to the Calibre Inferred Mineral Resource. The head grade for the composite used in the definitive metallurgical test was 0.63 g/t gold, 0.23% copper, 0.80 g/t silver, 0.02% tungsten tri‐oxide and 0.97% sulfur. The preliminary metallurgical test work which focused on the precious and base metals has comprised: Mineralogical, and metallurgical data investigation via the QEMSCAN® micro‐analysis system; HLS density beneficiation test work; Sulphide Flotation; Tungsten Flotation; and Cyanide leaching of sulphide flotation tailings for recovery of remaining gold and silver. The Calibre mineralisation is planned to be crushed and ground with the following products being produced: A sulphide concentrate containing copper, gold and silver; Gold doré (containing gold and silver); and A tungsten concentrate. Preliminary metallurgical test work has shown that saleable products for copper, gold and silver can be produced from the Calibre mineralisation at good metallurgical recoveries. Further test‐work is required with respect to tungsten concentrate specifications; however, the |

| initial results are considered encouraging, including mineralogy investigation using QEMSCAN® which revealed the tungsten minerals to be comparatively coarse grained and well liberated. As a consequence, a conservative recovery of 50% was assumed for tungsten. Heavy Liquid Separation (HLS) test work was used to assess the amenability of the ore to physical upgrade processes such as gravity. The HLS results highlighted the excellent density beneficiation qualities of the Calibre mineralisation. Geophysical surveys carried out over significant regions of the Citadel Project include airborne electromagnetics, aeromagnetics, airborne radiometrics, some induced polarisation/resistivity and ground gravity surveys, and magnetic susceptibility from drill sample material. Satellite imagery is also available. |
