Antipa Minerals Updates Minyari PFS
- Strong gold recoveries of 89% to 98% achieved
- Rapid leach kinetics demonstrated
- Steeper open pit slope angles supported
Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZY) has updated its Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the Minyari Dome Gold-Copper Development Project. The metallurgical test-work confirms that Minyari Dome mineralisation is amenable to a conventional gold-copper processing pathway, achieving strong gold recoveries of 89% to 98%. The test-work also demonstrated rapid leach kinetics and the potential to produce both gold doré and a commercial-grade copper concentrate. Additionally, updated geotechnical parameters support steeper overall open pit slope angles for the Transitional and Primary mineralisation zones than those used in the Scoping Study, potentially enabling deeper open pit mining and reducing reliance on underground mining. These outcomes are critical inputs for ongoing PFS optimisation.
