DevEx Resources Limited (ASX: DEV) has put a clear frame around the Murphy West story: first-pass soils are lighting up kilometre-scale, multi-element pathfinder halos across radiometric and structural targets on the southern margin of the McArthur Basin (Figure 1), echoing the Junnagunna orientation model where Pb–Cu–Be mark buried uranium.

As someone who's watched this sector for over three decades, I tend to gravitate toward stories where the science leads the drilling, not the other way around. The latest announcement from E79 Gold shows exactly that: a methodical, data-driven campaign that’s laying the foundation for a potential discovery in one of Western Australia’s most gold-endowed regions.
