Apple’s definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad can be found here:

Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support

For iPad mini, support for Apple Pencil was introduced with the iPad mini5 onwards; the iPad mini5 supports the first generation Apple Pencil, whereas the iPad mini6 supports the second generation Pencil.

iPad mini1-3 do not support Apple Pencil - as these models lack the specific screen hardware with which the Pencil interacts with the iPad screen.
