The Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZY) share price is in focus after fresh drilling results extended gold-copper mineralisation at its Tim's Dome prospect in Western Australia, including notable intersections such as 10m at 1.5g/t gold and 0.62% copper.

What did Antipa Minerals report?
- Phase 1 CY2026 drilling included 81 holes for 7,819m across Tim's Dome, AL01, GEO-01 and Yolanda Trend.
- Key Tim's Dome results: up to 1m at 10.05g/t gold, 0.62% copper, 0.12% lead and 2.55g/t silver.
- Three new gold-copper anomalies defined at AL01, each 500–700m long, suitable for follow-up drilling.
- Assays at GEO-01 returned 10m at 1.1g/t gold, 0.07% copper and 1,328ppm cobalt.
- Drilling at Yolanda Trend identified a 2.1km copper-arsenic-zinc anomaly, adding new discovery targets.
- Three drill rigs remain active at Tim's Dome, Minyari Dome and Jezabeel.
What else do investors need to know?
Drilling at Tim's Dome, part of Antipa's flagship 100%-owned Minyari Gold-Copper Project, has confirmed broad mineralisation above an untested 1.2km-long AEM conductor. Selected RC holes at Tim's Dome are now being extended with diamond drilling to directly test this highly prospective target.
Beyond Tim's Dome, Antipa's regional exploration continues to define new gold and copper anomalies across AL01 and Yolanda Trend, supporting further drilling and resource growth. The ongoing CY2026 programme remains fully funded, with support from WA's Exploration Incentive Scheme grants.
What did Antipa Minerals management say?
Managing Director and CEO Roger Mason said:
Batch 3 results have further strengthened Tim's Dome as one of our priority new discovery targets. We've now confirmed gold-copper-lead-silver mineralisation in a further five holes spread over more than a kilometre of strike, directly above the large AEM conductor that remains untested. The geological setting, metal association and geometry of the conductor continue to support the Telfer-style reef interpretation we are currently about to test, with diamond tails on several select RC holes now underway. We expect to reach the AEM conductor target in the coming weeks, and will eagerly await results. Elsewhere, the programme continues to generate additional opportunities, with new anomalies defined at AL01 and along the Yolanda Trend, plus further mineralised lodes extended at GEO-01. Now with three rigs active across Tim's Dome, Minyari Dome and Jezabeel, and a strong pipeline of targets across the broader Minyari Project we're set for a productive period of new-discovery focused exploration drilling, as we advance our Minyari Dome Pre-feasibility Study toward completion.
What's next for Antipa Minerals?
Antipa Minerals will continue its major drilling push across Tim's Dome, AL01, Yolanda Trend and other prospects, with current focus on diamond core tails at Tim's Dome to directly test the substantial AEM conductor. Ongoing work at GEO-01 South and Jezabeel, plus design of follow-up RC drilling at AL01, are all aimed at growing mineral resources and finding new discoveries.
The Pre-Feasibility Study for Minyari Dome is also progressing, aiming to unlock further value from Antipa's 100%-owned 2.9Moz gold and 91kt copper resource base in the Paterson Province. Regular updates are expected as new assay results come to hand.
