# E79: HERITAGE SURVEY COMPLETED AT CUE GOLD PROJECT Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/e79-heritage-survey-completed-at-cue-gold-project--3daa8eca-d2ff-4eba-9755-33890f7acd50 Original source: https://www.asx.com.au/asx/v2/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=03154886 Publisher: asx Original announcement: 2026-10-20T21:20:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-20T22:31:21.277Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-20T22:31:21.277Z - Company: E79 Gold Mines Limited - Ticker: E79 - Exchange: ASX - Region: Western Australia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Other, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-20 22:31:21 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary E79 Gold has completed a heritage survey at its Cue Gold Project in Western Australia, clearing the way for a planned 12,000m drilling program starting in November. The program will target advanced prospects Ada and Chloe using RC and air-core rigs to test high-priority structures. Reasoning: The announcement marks a significant de-risking milestone \(heritage survey completion\) and outlines an imminent large-scale drilling program, though it contains no new assay data. - Positive factor: Completion of heritage survey removes a key regulatory hurdle for drilling - Positive factor: Large planned drilling program \(>12,000m\) indicates active exploration phase - Positive factor: Proximity to high-grade historical mines \(Great Fingall\) provides geological upside - Positive factor: Historical intercepts mentioned provide context for target priority - Negative factor: No new assay results provided in this release Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The document mentions a Competent Person \(Ned Summerhayes\) and refers to previous ASX announcements which imply standard reporting protocols. Evidence · text > The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Ned Summerhayes, a Competent Person **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is positioned immediately south of the historical Day Dawn goldfield and is described as analogous to Great Fingall and Break of Day. Evidence · text > The Project is positioned immediately south of the historical Day Dawn goldfield ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### GCRC936 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/e79-heritage-survey-completed-at-cue-gold-project--3daa8eca-d2ff-4eba-9755-33890f7acd50#fact-drill-facts-0) Cue · gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: GCRC936 - Project: Cue - Commodity: gold - Region: australia\_wa - Reported Region: australia\_wa - Ticker: E79 #### Geometry - Grade: 2.2 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 13 m - From: 112 m - To: 125 m - Intercept Depth: 112 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: GCRC936:112-125 - Mining Method: underground #### Location - Location: Ada Prospect - Loc.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
