Huckitta Copper 

Northern Territory

Project Highlights

Copper Exploration in the Northern Territory

  • Basin-scale sediment-hosted copper system — geological characteristics analogous to the Central African Copper Belt
  • Generated by GeTech Group using first-principles targeting for Tier-1 copper systems
  • Daly controls ground where all key geological ingredients overlap for district-scale discovery potential
  • Strong indicators: widespread black shale host, Cu-Ba-Pb surface anomalies, rock chips up to 24.5% Cu
  • Red Heart & Arthur Creek Cu Target Zones identified; Jervois Deposits (Cu+Pb+Zn+Ag) adjacent to the southeast

Project Location & Background

The Huckitta Project is Daly Resources’ flagship asset, covering approximately 3,600 km² in the Northern Territory’s Georgina Basin and forming part of a broader 6,324 km² landholding across the Territory.

Huckitta Copper Mineralisation

Untested Copper Prospectivity Across Near-Virgin Exploration Ground

The Huckitta Project also hosts significant sediment-hosted copper potential within the Georgina Basin, with Daly Resources identifying geological characteristics comparable to the world-class Central African Copper Belt, one of the world’s largest copper-producing provinces. The company controls approximately 3,600 km² of highly prospective tenure where key ingredients for large-scale copper mineralisation coincide, including widespread black shale host rocks, favourable basin architecture, and numerous copper-barium-lead surface anomalies.

Historic exploration has returned rock chip results grading up to 24.5% copper, yet much of the project area remains largely unexplored with limited drilling undertaken to date. Priority target areas, including the Red Heart and Arthur Creek copper zones, have been identified through geological studies and first-principles targeting work completed by GeTech Group.

Daly believes the project has the potential to host a district-scale sediment-hosted copper system, with future exploration programs planned to include regional geochemical sampling, airborne electromagnetic surveys and drilling to test these high-priority targets.
