The Nundle Project, covering an area of 259.1km² straddling the regional scale Peel Fault, contains two key prospective target areas. 

1. A +7.5 km long section of the historic Nundle Epizonal Orogenic gold (antimony) field
2. The Barnard Hut – Black Barb Cu-Au cluster - Intrusion Related copper target area where historic sampling has demonstrated indications of copper mineralisation over a 3 km area

The Nundle goldfield is largely underexplored, with most historic work focused on the previously identified reefs leaving district scale targets without drilling or modern systematic mapping, sampling, or geophysics.

Alluvial gold is thought to have been first discovered at Nundle in 1849 with lode gold discovered in 1852. The goldfield was worked up to the 1940’s and although total production from Nundle was not well documented, with over 80 individual lodes recorded in the field, production has been estimated to be in excess of 150,000oz of gold.
