E79 Gold Mines (ASX:E79) has commenced a high-resolution gravity survey at its newly acquired Cue Gold Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia, marking the first stage of its maiden exploration program.
The survey, designed to map potential gold-bearing structures hidden beneath 5–15m of cover, is expected to take approximately three weeks, with data processing scheduled for January 2026.
Gravity has proven to be a critical exploration tool in the region, delineating cross-cutting mineralised structures at nearby high-grade deposits including the Great Fingall Mine (Westgold Resources) and Break of Day (Ramelius Resources).
The newly acquired data will be integrated with historical magnetic datasets to refine geological interpretation and guide future drilling.
E79 Gold CEO Ned Summerhayes said the survey represents a significant step in unlocking the district's exploration potential, building on lessons from adjacent goldfields where gravity surveys have transformed understanding of structural architecture and highlighted previously undertested corridors.
The Cue Gold Project, covering approximately 65km2 immediately south of the Day Dawn goldfield, is considered highly prospective for quartz reef-hosted gold deposits similar to those at Great Fingall, Golden Crown, and Break of Day, with priority drill targets to be defined following survey completion.
At the time of reporting, E79 Gold Mines' share price was $0.026.
