QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES AND CASHFLOW REPORT
Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZY ) ( Antipa or the Company ) is pleased to report on its activities for the quarter ended 30 June 2024 (the Quarter ). During the Quarter, Antipa focused on completing the CY2024 Phase 1 reverse circulation ( RC ) and diamond core drilling programme (14,936m) at its 100%owned Minyari Dome Gold-Copper Project in the Paterson Province of Western Australia ( Minyari Dome ) (Figure 1). Results returned identified new zones of near-surface gold mineralisation along the northern edge of the GEO-01 discovery, at the GP01 target, and at the Minyari Southeastern Extension target. Mineralisation at multiple GEO-01 lodes and the Minyari Southeastern Extension target remains open in most directions, adding to the existing, significant maiden Mineral Resource opportunities.

Activity Detail
Minyari Dome Project (100% Antipa)
The Company’s Minyari Dome Project is located approximately 35km north of Newmont’s giant Telfer ‐ gold-copper silver mine and 22Mtpa processing facility, 75km south of Rio Tinto’s Winu copper-goldsilver development project and 28km north of Newmont-Greatland’s Havieron gold-copper development project (Figures 1 to 3).
‐ The Minyari Dome area hosts the Minyari and WACA gold copper-silver-cobalt deposits, and Mineral Resources, which, in conjunction with several satellite deposits, prospects and targets, offers substantial prospectivity and future potential development opportunities.
CY2024 Phase 1 Exploration Programme Outline
On 15 April 2024, Antipa announced the commencement of CY2024 Phase 1 RC drilling at Minyari Dome. The programme was designed to enable a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) at the GEO-01 discovery and to target new gold-copper discoveries within multiple high-priority target areas.
Originally scheduled for 71 RC holes for 10,620m, positive results from the first 19 RC holes (results for first six holes released on 14 May 2024, and a further thirteen holes on 4 June 2024) warranted an expansion to a total of 81 RC drill holes for 12,816m.
Results from the remaining 40 holes of the RC programme were returned subsequent to the Quarter end, on 10 July 2024.
Results remain outstanding for the two diamond core drill holes (for 2,120m) completed at the PM1 and PM2 targets. With the expansion of RC drilling at GEO-01, the diamond core drill hole scheduled at the PM3 target will be completed during the CY2024 Phase 2 drilling programme.
The following summarises results from the CY2024 Phase 1 exploration programme.
GEO-01 Discovery
The GEO-01 discovery is located approximately 1.3km south of the 1.5Moz Minyari gold-copper deposit. Assay results returned for all 59 from CY2024 Phase 1 RC drilling increased the prospective mineralised footprint to 700m by 500m. Assay results have now been holes for 9,852m of the GEO-01 component of the Phase 1 RC drilling programme.
CY2024 Phase 1 drilling returned additional zones of near surface and high-grade gold mineralisation at the main zone of mineralisation and at multiple zones across the broader GEO-01 prospect area, all of which remain open in a number of directions (refer to Figures 2 to 5).

On 4 June 2024, Antipa announced the receipt of additional results from a further 13 holes (2,330m of drilling) at GEO-01, which identified new zones of near-surface gold mineralisation. These results further increased the prospective mineralised footprint to 700m by 500m (previously 370m).
Of the 13 holes returned, six were designed to define the limits of the main zone of mineralisation perpendicular to strike, whilst the remaining seven holes successfully tested the main zone of mineralisation for strike extensions to the northeast. The main zone of observed GEO-01 gold mineralisation increased to up to 500m along strike (previously 250m) and up to 190m across strike (previously 150m), with indications of ongoing growth potential.
Thick zones of near surface, potentially open pittable, gold mineralisation were intersected at GEO-01, including significant zones of high-grade mineralisation. Notable intersections included:

-
26m at 0.7 g/t gold from 16m down hole in 24MYC0449, including:
-
11m at 1.2 g/t gold from 17m down hole; and
-
1m at 1.3 g/t gold from 38m down hole.
-
17m at 0.5 g/t gold from 49m down hole in 24MYC0454, including:

-
12m at 0.5 g/t gold from 132m down hole in 24MYC0462 (EoH 150m), including:
-
4m at 1.4 g/t gold from 136m down hole.
-
8m at 0.5 g/t gold from 165m down hole in 24MYC0449, including:
-
2m at 1.2 g/t gold from 169m down hole.
Drill hole 24MYC0462 intersected 12m at 0.5 g/t gold from 132m downhole, including 4m at 1.4 g/t gold from 136m, extending the northeast strike of the main zone of GEO-01 mineralisation via a 300m zone of gold mineralisation, up to 10m thick, to a total strike length of over 500m (refer ASX announcement 4 June 2024 for full details, tables and figures). The gold mineralisation in 24MYC0462 is proximal to a fold axis structure, a favourable altered mafic intrusive (dolerite) host rock and displays a co-incident Gradient Array Induced Polarisation ( GAIP ) chargeability anomaly which may be caused by sulphides associated with gold mineralisation.
Post end of quarter, the assays for the remaining forty RC drill holes from GEO-01 returned additional zones of near surface and high-grade gold mineralisation at the main zone of mineralisation and at multiple zones across the broader GEO-01 prospect area, all of which remain open in a number of directions (refer ASX announcement 10 July 2024 for full details, tables and figures).
Notable intercepts included:
-
35m at 3.0 g/t gold from 20m down hole in 24MYC0610, including:

-
3m at 2.1 g/t gold from 145m down hole in 24MYC0615.
Key outcomes from drilling at the main zone of GEO-01 mineralisation included:
-
Several shallow, high-grade gold intersections along the northern-side of the main zone of mineralisation (results from holes 24MYC0459 and 24MYC0610, refer to Figure 4) expanding the zone further to the north and highlighting a prospective folded metasediment mafic intrusive contact which remains untested in several directions.
-
Narrower, tabular zones of mineralisation returned from east of the main zone of thick gold mineralisation across the east-northeast trending antiformal fold-axis (Figure 4).
-
Exciting extensional target opportunity , with the main zone of thick high-grade gold mineralisation modelled to plunge moderately to the east, where it remains open down plunge below the current extent of RC drilling.
Notable observations from drilling across the broader 700m by 500m GEO-01 prospect area:
-
New zone of significant gold-copper mineralisation identified approximately 400m southeast of the main zone of gold mineralisation (results from holes 24MYC0469, 24MYC0470 and 24MYC0472, refer to Figure 4):
-
Mineralisation of up to 9 g/t gold (1m intersection) and 0.65% copper (4m intersection) returned from along 100m of strike and from 20m to 50m across strike; and
-
Mineralisation remains open in most directions.
-
Additional zone of significant gold-copper mineralisation identified approximately 250m south of the main zone of gold mineralisation (results from holes 24MYC0477, 24MYC0479 and 24MYC0480, refer to Figure 4):
-
Mineralisation of up to 2 g/t gold (4m intersection) and 0.6% copper (4m intersection) was returned along 200m of strike and from 20m to 40m across strike; and
-
Mineralisation remains open in most directions.
-
Additional drilling planned to add further to the GEO-01 maiden MRE opportunity .
Thick zones of near surface, potentially open pittable, gold mineralisation have now been successfully intersected at multiple zones across the broader GEO-01 prospect area , including significant zones of high-grade mineralisation . Multiple zones of mineralisation at GEO-01 remain open, with large areas to be tested for additional strike and depth extensions as part of the CY2024 Phase 2 drilling.

GP01 Target
Located 800m from Minyari, GP01 is a 400m long large, coincident magnetic-high, induced polarisation chargeability and electromagnetic conductivity anomaly (refer Figures 2, 3 and 5). Drilling during CY2021 intersected thick, high-grade gold plus copper mineralisation which remains open in several directions. Significant near-surface, high-grade gold mineralisation returned at GP01 during CY2021 drilling (refer ASX announcement 19 October 2021) included notable intersections:
-
27m at 1.3 g/t gold and 0.11% copper from 131m down hole in 21MYC0245, including:
-
7m at 3.9 g/t gold from 133m
CY2024 Phase 1 drilling at GP01 included two RC drill holes (for 348m) to test interpreted east northeast ( ENE ) mineralisation controls at GP01. Both holes intersected significant high-grade gold mineralisation, with results warranting follow-up exploration. A further four RC drill holes (for 618m) evaluated an interpreted ENE trending structural corridor intersecting the southern boundary of GP01, with no significant mineralisation returned.
Notable CY2024 Phase 1 GP01 intersections from the two completed RC holes included:
-
8m at 5.3 g/t gold and 0.07% copper from 96m down hole in 24MYC0607, including:
-
4m at 8.5 g/t gold and 0.12% copper from 96m down hole .
-
16m at 1.1 g/t gold from 108m down hole in 24MYC0608.
A further four RC drill holes (for 618m) evaluated an interpreted ENE trending structural corridor intersecting the southern boundary of GP01, with no significant mineralisation returned.
Minyari Southeast Extension Target
CY2024 Phase 1 drilling also tested an extensional target southeast of the Minyari Mineral Resource (Figures 2, 3 and 6). Seven RC drill holes for 684m were completed with significant gold mineralisation intersected within a corridor 150m along strike over an area of between 30m and 40m across strike (Figure 6). Mineralisation remains open along strike to the southeast and down dip, representing a new potential maiden MRE opportunity immediately adjacent to the existing Minyari deposit which may be evaluated with further drilling during the CY2024 Phase 2 programme.
Notable intersections returned from RC drilling at the Minyari Southeast Extension target included:
-
51m at 0.5 g/t gold from 16m down hole in 24MYC0492, including:
-
8m at 1.6 g/t gold from 21m down hole;
-
3m at 1.2 g/t gold from 48m down hole; and
-
1m at 1.7 g/t gold from 62 m down hole.
-
3m at 1.0 g/t gold and 0.11% copper from 72m down hole in 24MYC0489.
-
12m at 0.8 g/t gold from 55m down hole in 24MYC0494, including:
-
7m at 1.1 g/t gold from 57 m down hole.
T12 Target
T12 is located 10km northwest of the Minyari deposit. CY2023 exploration included very broad spaced air core drilling which intersected gold mineralisation across a large area. Multiple shallow 4m intersections returned grades between 0.08 to 0.13 g/t gold ± copper-bismuth anomalism covering a
8
==> picture [596 x 75] intentionally omitted <==
large area of over 1km along strike by up to 400m across strike (refer to ASX announcement dated 8 March 2024). Mineralisation at T12 exists under very shallow cover ranging from between 1m and 3m.
CY2024 Phase 1 drilling at T12 comprised just four RC drill holes (for 642m) as a preliminary investigation of T12’s potential to host economic gold ± copper mineralisation. Encouragingly, approximately 30% of the RC drill metres completed at T12 graded ≥ 0.1 g/t gold, with significant copper mineralisation also intersected. Notable intersections returned from the current round of RC drilling at T12 included:
-
36m at 0.2 g/t gold from 20m down hole in 24MYC0620, including:
-
4m at 0.8 g/t gold from 48m down hole.
-
30m at 0.1 g/t gold and 0.10% copper from 132m down hole in 24MYC0617, including:
-
4m at 0.2 g/t gold and 0.36% copper from 132m down hole.
Given the positive results of these four reconnaissance T12 RC drill holes additional investigation is warranted, which will be considered at a later date.
Rizzo Target
Rizzo is located approximately 370m southwest from the GEO-01 discovery. Broad spaced air core drilling in CY2023 intersected gold ± copper mineralisation and pathfinder anomalism. Air core drill hole 23MYA0153 returned 12m at 1.0 g/t gold and 0.12% copper from 8m downhole, with mineralisation present under shallow cover of just 3m (refer ASX announcement dated 8 March 2024).
CY2024 Phase 1 drilling at Rizzo involved just three RC drill holes (for 372m) as a preliminary investigation of Rizzo’s potential to host economic gold ± copper mineralisation. CY2024 Phase 1 drilling at Rizzo intersected minor low-grade gold and copper mineralisation (refer to Figures 2 and 3). Notable intersections from the current round of three RC drill holes included:
-
36m at 0.05% copper from 44m down hole in 24MYC0464, including:
-
8m at 0.1 g/t gold and 0.04% copper from 60m down hole; and
-
4m at 0.12% copper from 76m down hole.
Follow up drilling at Rizzo will be considered at a later date.
WACA East Target
WACA East is located several hundred metres from the WACA and Minyari South Mineral Resource areas. Broad-spaced air core drilling in CY2023 intersected low-grade gold mineralisation, including 10m at 0.2 g/t gold from 20m down hole to end-of-hole (23MYA0291) (refer to ASX announcement dated 8 March 2024). CY2024 Phase 1 drilling involved two RC drill holes (for 300m) to investigate WACA East’s potential to host economic gold ± copper mineralisation. Drilling intersected minor low-grade gold and copper mineralisation. A notable intersection from the two recent RC drill holes was:
- 32m at 0.1 g/t gold and 0.03% copper from 88m down hole in 24MYC0602.
Follow-up drilling at WACA East is under review for potential investigation at a later date.

Pacman Targets
The Pacman targets are located about 30km east of the 1.5Moz gold Minyari deposit, along trend from the 7Moz gold and 275kt copper Havieron deposit (Figure 7):
-
PM1 is a bulls-eye magnetic high in a fold nose, bearing a similarity in style, geometry and scale to the Havieron deposit (Figure 7).
-
PM2 is a gravity high with a partially coincident magnetic high, presenting a target for a highgrade copper Nifty style deposit.
-
PM3 is an ovoid discrete 1,200m by 900m gravity high anomaly with semi-coincident 1,200m magnetic high anomaly on larger curvilinear feature. As with PM1, the PM3 geophysical anomalism bears some resemblance to Havieron (Figure 7).
All three Pacman targets are hosted by interpreted Havieron equivalent stratigraphy under cover depths of between 440 to 470m. The closest effective drill hole to any of the Pacman targets is located approximately 10km away. Detailed aeromagnetic and ground gravity geophysical surveys have also been completed over the Pacman area to enhance geological and structural interpretation enabling refinement of the target areas.
Results for the two diamond core drill holes (for 2,120m) completed at the PM1 and PM2 targets remain outstanding. With the expansion of RC drilling at GEO-01, the diamond core drill hole scheduled at the PM3 target will be completed during the CY2024 Phase 2 drilling programme.

The Wilki Project comes to within 3km of Newmont’s Telfer gold-copper-silver mine and 22Mtpa mineral processing facility, 9km of Newmont’s (70%) - Greatland Gold’s (30%) Havieron gold-copper development project and 5km of Newmont’s O’Callaghans tungsten and base metal deposit and includes highly prospective areas around the Telfer Dome (including the Chicken Ranch and Tim’s Dome resource areas), the domal structure upon which the Telfer gold-copper-silver open pit and underground mines are situated. Together, the Chicken Ranch and Tim’s Dome gold deposits possess a 104koz Inferred Mineral Resource estimated by Antipa.
During the Quarter, the following exploration activities were completed:
-
A large Heritage Survey, in preparation for drill testing at the extensive 3km long by up to 1.5km wide Parklands gold and pathfinder lag anomaly, situated just 10km from Telfer (Figure 8);
-
Diamond core pre-collar (105m) completed in preparation for re-entry and depth extension at Tim’s Dome, which is located approximately 12km along strike from the world-class Telfer goldcopper-silver deposit and its 22Mtpa processing facility. Tim’s Dome is interpreted to represent the re-emergence, due to a fold plunge reversal, of the Telfer Domal structure and the stratigraphy which hosts Telfer. It holds potential for high-grade Telfer “Reef”, vein and stockwork styles of gold-copper mineralisation;
-
410 samples collected as part of an ongoing substantial surface geochemical sampling programme, with results currently expected Q3 CY2024;
-
Continuous project scale interpretation, data modelling and target generation; and
-
Development of the exploration programme for the remainder of the CY2024 continued through the Quarter.
The FY2024 exploration at the Wilki Farm-in Project was fully funded by Newmont under the existing A$60 million farm-in agreement. The Wilki Farm-in Project’s exploration programme emphasises greenfield discovery at targets analogous to Havieron, Winu and Telfer, within 10 to 50km of Telfer.
Citadel Project (32% AZY, Rio Tinto Joint Venture)[3]
The Citadel JV Project comes to within 5km of Rio Tinto’s Winu copper-gold-silver development project and 80km from Newmont’s world-class Telfer gold-copper-silver mine and 22Mtpa processing facility in the Paterson Province of Western Australia (Figure 1).
The approximately 1,200km[2] Citadel JV Project adjoins the Company’s Paterson Project and includes the Magnum Dome, an area of approximately 30km[2] . Situated within the Magnum Dome are the Calibre and Magnum deposits with combined Mineral Resources of 108 Mt containing 2.45Moz of gold, 161.5kt of copper and 1.84Moz of silver.
Development of the exploration programme for the remainder of the CY2024 continued through the Quarter, with ongoing activities to generate targets in preparation for drilling. Antipa has the option to use the dilution provisions in the Citadel JV agreement to finance its share of the CY2024 exploration programme.

About Antipa Minerals: Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZY ) ( Antipa or the Company ) is a leading mineral exploration company with a strong track record of success in discovering world-class 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 offers significant opportunities for profitable mining operations.
The Company’s tenement holding covers over 5,100km[2] in a region that is home to Newmont’s world-class Telfer mine and some of the world’s more recent large gold-copper discoveries including Rio Tinto’s Winu and Newmont-Greatland Gold’s Havieron.
Exploration success has led to the discovery of several major mineral deposits on Antipa’s ground, including the wholly owned, flagship 900km[2] Minyari Dome Gold-Copper Project. Minyari Dome currently hosts a 1.8 Moz gold resource (at 1.6 g/t) which was the subject of a Scoping Study (August 2022) indicating the potential for a sizeable initial development with further substantial upside.
Antipa is pursuing an aggressive drilling programme this year, targeting substantial and rapid growth to the existing goldcopper resources at Minyari Dome, delivering strong further value enhancement to the existing development opportunity, and making new significant gold-copper discoveries.
The 900km[2] Minyari Dome Project is complemented by three large-scale growth projects covering a total of 4,200km[2] which have attracted major listed miners to agree multi-million-dollar farm-in and joint venture ( JV ) arrangements:
-
Citadel Project (32% Antipa): Rio Tinto JV over 1,200km[2]
-
Wilki Project (100% Antipa): Newmont farming-in 1,470km[2]
-
Paterson Project (100% Antipa): IGO farming-in 1,550km[2]

Gold Metal Equivalent Calculations
Gold Metal Equivalent Information – Minyari Dome Project Mineral Resource Gold Equivalent reporting cut-off grade:
The 0.5 g/t and 1.5 g/t Aueq cut-off grades assume open pit and underground mining, respectively.
A gold equivalent grade ( Aueq ) has been calculated from individual gold, copper, silver and cobalt grades. This equivalent grade has been calculated and declared in accordance with Clause 50 of the JORC Code (2012), using the following parameters:
-
The metal prices used for the calculation are as follows:
-
US$ 1,944 per oz gold
-
US$ 4.74 per lb copper
-
- US$ 25.19 per oz silver
-
US$ 77,380 per tonne cobalt
-
An exchange rate (A$:US$) of 0.7301 was assumed
-
Metallurgical recoveries for by-product metals, based upon Antipa test-work in 2017 and 2018, are as follows: Copper = 85.0%, Silver = 85%, Cobalt = 68%
-
The gold equivalent formula, based upon the above commodity prices, exchange rate and recoveries, is thus:
-
Aueq = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t * 0.011) + (Cu % * 1.42) + (Co % * 8.42)
Gold Metal Equivalent Information - Calibre Mineral Resource Gold Equivalent reporting cut-off grade and Gold Equivalent grade:
A gold equivalent grade ( Aueq ) has been calculated from individual gold, copper and silver grades. This equivalent grade has been calculated and declared in accordance with Paragraph 50 of the JORC Code, using the following parameters:
-
The metal prices used for the calculation are as follows:
-
- US$ 1,874 /oz gold
-
US$ 4.50 /lb copper
-
US$ 25.25 /oz silver
-
An exchange rate (A$:US$) of 0.722 was assumed.
-
Metallurgical recoveries, based upon Antipa test-work in 2014, are as follows:
-
Gold = 84.5%, Copper = 90.0%, Silver = 85.4%
-
A factor of 105% (as with the previous estimate) has been applied to the recoveries for gold, copper and silver to accommodate further optimisation of metallurgical performance. Antipa believes that this is appropriate, given the preliminary status of the recovery test-work.
-
Tungsten has not been estimated and does not contribute to the equivalent formula.
-
The gold equivalent formula, based upon the above commodity prices, exchange rate, recoveries, and using individual metal grades provided by the Citadel Project Mineral Resource Estimate table, is thus:
-
Aueq = Au (g/t) + (1.75Cu%) + (0.014Ag g/t)
Gold Metal Equivalent Information - Magnum Mineral Resource Gold Equivalent reporting cut-off grade:
A gold equivalent grade ( Aueq ) has been calculated from individual gold, copper, silver and tungsten grades. This equivalent grade has been calculated and declared in accordance with Paragraph 50 of the JORC Code, using the following parameters:
-
The metal prices used for the calculation are as follows:
-
US$ 1,227 /oz gold
-
US$ 2.62 /lb copper
-
US$ 16.97 /oz silver
-
US$ 28,000 /t WO3 concentrate
-
An exchange rate (A$:US$) of 0.778 was assumed.
-
Metallurgical recoveries, based upon Antipa test-work in 2014, are as follows:
-
Gold = 84.5%, Copper = 90.0%, Silver = 85.4% and W = 50.0%
-
A factor of 105% (as with the previous estimate) has been applied to the recoveries for gold, copper and silver to accommodate further optimisation of metallurgical performance. Antipa believes that this is appropriate, given the preliminary status of the recovery test-work.
-
Note that the tungsten recovery of 50% is considered indicative at this preliminary stage based on the initial metallurgical findings.
-
Conversion of W% to WO3% grade requires division of W% by 0.804.
-
The gold equivalent formula, based upon the above commodity prices, exchange rate, and recoveries, is thus:
-
Aueq = (Au (g/t) x 0.845) + ((%Cu x (74.32/50.69) x 0.90)) + ((Ag (g/t) x (0.70/50.69) x 0.854)) + ((%W/0.804 x (359.80/50.69) x 0.50))
It is the Company’s opinion that all the metals included in the metal equivalents calculations above have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
