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.

In Australia, age 65 is the sweet spot for retirement. At this age, you can access your superannuation regardless of whether you have quit work or not. 

And you’re also only two years away from potentially also receiving an Age Pension payment.

But for many Australians, retiring at 65 means they need to turn decades of super contributions into a reliable income stream that can support them throughout retirement.

But the question is, how do you know if you have enough in your super?

Lets investigate what a comfortable retirement starting at age 65 could look like, and how much it’ll cost.

The definition of a comfortable retirement

First, it’s important to understand what a comfortable retirement actually looks like.

A comfortable retirement generally means having enough income to cover your everyday expenses while also allowing for discretionary spending such as travel, dining out, hobbies and entertainment, without having to significantly compromise your lifestyle.

Individuals and couples should be able to maintain a reasonable standard of living, perhaps afford the occasional small luxury, and still have some financial buffer for unexpected expenses.

Think top-tier private health insurance, regular leisure activities, funds for home repairs or renovations, the occasional meal out, and perhaps even an annual holiday.

How much does a comfortable retirement cost?

The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) estimates that a comfortable retirement will cost around $55,923 per year for single Australians. 

A couple living together can expect to spend around $78,566 per year combined.

How much do I need in my superannuation to afford this lifestyle?

In order to fund this lifestyle level, ASFA has calculated that at age 67, single Australians will need around $630,000. 

Couples will need a combined superannuation balance closer to $730,000.

But the catch is that these figures are based on the understanding that you’ll retire at age 67, that you will only need to fund around 10 years of retirement, will be eligible to receive a part Age Pension, and you own your home in full.

So, if you want to retire at a much earlier age of 65, you’ll need to work towards a different goal to be able to fund those extra seven years.

I’ve crunched the numbers to work out the balance you’d need to quit work a couple of years earlier.

Your annual costs will be around the same: $55,923 per year for single Australians and $78,566 per year combined for a couple living together.

But, as I mentioned above, you’ll need to fund an additional seven years that ASFA figures haven’t accounted for.

At age 65, singles will need to have at around $742,000 in their superannuation. 

Meanwhile, couples will need a combined balance closer to $888,000 at the same age. 

But note, if you don’t own your home outright, you’ll also need to consider how you’ll pay your mortgage or rent.

The ASX dividend stock JB Hi-Fi Ltd (ASX: JBH) is one of the most underappreciated ideas out there, in my view. The electronics and appliances retailer has been sold off, but I think this is a great opportunity to invest for the long-term.

As the chart below shows, the JB Hi-Fi share price has dropped by 42% in the past year.

Not many large ASX businesses have fallen that much in a relatively short amount of time. However, I think this ASX dividend stock could be a buying opportunity for contrarian and opportunistic investors.

It pays to be optimistic

I can understand why the market is pessimistic about the short-term outlook of the business.

Higher interest rates can cause uncertainty and less spending by households. However, I don’t expect interest rates to remain this high forever, so pessimism could turn into optimism. Perhaps as early as next year.

In my view, JB Hi-Fi’s earnings are more defensive than investors are giving it credit for. Households always need appliances and also certain electronics such as phones and computers are seen as essential for living these days, whether that’s work, education, entertainment or communication.

In FY26, the ASX dividend stock reported that underlying operating profit (EBIT) grew 3.8%, while underlying earnings per share (EPS) climbed by 2.9%. With EPS of $4.48, it was able to fund an annual dividend per share of $3.37. That was despite the difficult trading conditions amid the Middle East conflict and elevated inflation and interest rates.

According to the forecast on Commsec, the business is only expected to see a slight decline of EPS to $4.46 in FY27. That translates into a forward price/earnings (P/E) ratio of just 15, which I think is low for this business.

The company is expanding its store network, continuing to work on being as efficient and profitable as possible, and providing good customer service.

Compelling dividend yield

When a share price falls, it pushes up the prospective dividend yield for investors. For example, if a business had a dividend yield of 5% and the share price drops 20%, the dividend yield becomes 6%.

According to the projection on Commsec, JB Hi-Fi is forecast to pay an annual dividend per share of $3.35 in FY27. That translates into a potential dividend yield of 5% excluding franking credits and 7.1% including franking credits.

That’s a great dividend yield for a large, stable business like JB Hi-Fi, in my view. If there is a good time to invest in this ASX dividend stock, I think now is a great time. But, there are other shares that could be even better value.
