Mountain Home Project Overview
The MountaIn Home Project is located within an underexplored inlier of Proterozoic-age McArthur Basin stratigraphy – renowned as the host to all major metalliferous deposits within the region. Spanning a 40km strike length, the entire inlier is considered prospective for copper mineralisation, with 27km of this extent situated within the Project’s boundaries.
This Proterozoic basin is globally significant, containing the world’s largest accumulation of shale-hosted zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. Notable nearby deposits within an 80km radius include the world-class McArthur River lead-zinc mine, the Teena zinc-lead discovery, the Redbank copper deposits, and the historic Merlin Diamond Mine.
Early-stage exploration results are highly promising, with rock chip grab samples returning assay results of up to 45% copper, 11.75g/t gold, and 9.09% bismuth – underscoring the Project’s strong potential. E79 Gold has recently expanded its footprint and now controls a tenement package of 1,366km2.
