E79 Gold Launches Gravity Survey to Unlock Cue Gold Project Potential

Exploration Momentum Builds at Cue Gold Project

E79 Gold Mines Limited (ASX – E79) has swiftly moved to advance exploration at its recently acquired Cue Gold Project in Western Australia's Murchison region by commencing a high-resolution gravity survey. This geophysical technique, known for its ability to penetrate surface cover and reveal subsurface structures, is expected to take around three weeks to complete, with data processing slated for January 2026.

Why Gravity Matters in Gold Exploration

The use of gravity surveys in this context is particularly significant due to the 5-15 metres of cover obscuring the underlying geology at Cue. Traditional mapping methods struggle to identify the structural controls on gold mineralisation beneath this cover. Gravity data, however, can detect density variations linked to mineralised quartz reefs and cross-cutting structures that are critical pathways for gold deposits.

Neighbouring operations have demonstrated the value of this approach. Westgold Resources’ Great Fingall Mine, adjacent to Cue, has historically produced over 1.2 million ounces of gold at exceptional grades, with gravity surveys playing a key role in delineating mineralised zones. Similarly, Ramelius Resources’ Break of Day project further south benefited from gravity data that led to the discovery of high-grade gold mineralisation.

Strategic Location and Project Potential

The Cue Gold Project covers approximately 65 square kilometres in a highly prospective gold province. Situated immediately south of the Day Dawn goldfield, the project benefits from proximity to established mines and a geological setting conducive to high-grade quartz reef-hosted gold deposits. E79 Gold’s CEO, Ned Summerhayes, highlighted the transformative impact of gravity data in the district, expressing optimism about defining priority drill targets and advancing toward discovery.

Next Steps and Market Implications

Following the gravity survey, E79 plans to integrate the new data with reprocessed historical magnetic datasets to refine geological interpretations and generate drill targets. The company aims to commence its maiden drilling program in the first quarter of 2026, pending completion of heritage agreements and tenure approvals. This exploration phase represents a critical step in unlocking the value of the Cue Gold Project and could position E79 as a notable player in the Murchison Gold Province.

Investors will be watching closely as the survey results and subsequent drilling could significantly enhance the company’s resource base and market profile.
