Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) is set to focus on the recently discovered Calibre gold-copper deposit as part of Phase 1 of its 2013 exploration program at the Citadel project in Western Australia.
It plans to conduct additional electromagnetic surveys starting this month followed by further drilling at the Calibre deposit early March.
Drilling is likely to continue for about one month and one drill rig will be utilised to drill up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling.
Initial drilling and geophysical programmes will analyse stronger magnetic and downhole electromagnetic anomalies to the north of the existing discovery drillholes with the goal to identify increased mineralisation.
The Citadel project covers 1,714 square kilometres of prospective tenements and is located about 100 kilometres north of Newcrest Mining's Telfer gold-copper mine.
The project also includes the gold and copper Magnum deposit, where a maiden resource of 415,000 ounce gold, 641,000 ounce silver and 77,000 tonnes of copper was defined last year.
It has also made priority application for an additional 1,330 square kilometres of exploration licences called the North Telfer project, the granting of which would bring its tenements just 20 kilometres of Newcrest's Telfer project.
