The MONS Project

Mons is located 370 km north-east of Perth, covering the Karroun Hill at the northern end of the Forrestania belt.

MONS Project

The Mons Project commenced in 2021 following Nimy Resources’ discovery of a new Western Australian  greenstone belt, the “Mons Greenstone Belt” spanning ~3,004 km² set between the world class Forrestania  greenstone belt in the south and the Younami granite greenstone terrane to the north.

The Mons Project is located 370 km north-east of Perth and 140 km north-northwest of Southern Cross.

Initial exploration discovered thick nickel fertile komatiite flows in the southern half of the project, the exploration in the northern half of the project has thus far yielded the world class Block 3 Gallium discovery and the highly promising Masson Cu – Ni – PGE in sulphide discovery, all made in  2023-2024.

Numerous indications of varied and significant mineralisation have been uncovered since Nimy Resources began exploration in earnest in 2022. Commodities identified at anomalous levels include bismuth, molybdenum, silver, gold, rare earth elements, lithium, nickel, copper, cobalt and iron ore.

The current focus relates to two prospects targeting gallium and copper respectively.

GALLIUM – Block 3

The company is focused on the development of the Block 3 Gallium discovery with an initial JORC exploration target published following the highest-grade drilling intervals currently published in the world. Gallium is a critical metal, limited in supply and is forecast to be indispensable in high tech electronic applications (semi- conductor chips in AI, supercomputers, defence applications and a growing list of high-end products).

A non-binding collaboration agreement was inked in February 2025 with M2I Global Inc. a US firm focused on the development and supply of critical metals to the US Government and the Defence Industrial Base.

COPPER – Masson 

The discovery of significant copper, nickel, platinum and palladium in sulphide in late 2023 heralded a breakthrough indicating huge base and precious metal potential in the north of the Mons Greenstone Belt.

The discovery hole and follow up high grade copper hits followed an extensive 2,417-line km VTEM survey which yielded 239 EM response’s deemed worthy of follow up.

The Masson Prospect was the first drilled and immediately intersected 10m (from 102m) of sulphide mineralisation including 5m of massive sulphides containing highly anomalous copper, nickel, PGEs and cobalt.

DHEM extended the mineralised conductive envelope. Follow up drilling of 4 holes returned copper levels of greater than 1% is in all four holes, interpreted as a high-grade copper sulphide (chalcopyrite) lens within a broader mineralised zone beginning at a downhole depth of 126m (24NRRC0124) continuing to 312m (24NRDD0126) and remains open. The thickest highest-grade zone of 5.58m @ 1.27% copper (including 2.65m @ 2.09% copper from 233.5m) is reported in hole 24NRDD0125.

Current Prospects

Exploration success with scale

  • Exploring a new 80km x 30km Greenstone Belt in the Yilgarn Craton, 370 kms northeast of Perth.
  • Discovery made at the Masson Prospect with a sub vertical copper lens of >1% copper from 126 – 298m (172m downhole depth) open in all directions
  • Discovery is within an interpreted intrusive stretching 6kms across by 9kms long, one of 5 such geological settings (also containing similar VTEM responses).
  • Successful application of hitech approach (VTEM, MLEM, DHEM, GAIP, Dipole, soil sampling) to exploration.
  • High copper equivalent within mineralisation zone extending 240m along strike and contains high copper, nickel, cobalt, PGE’s and silver
  • High grade gallium discovered at Block 3, an emerging listed critical metal used in manufacture of semi conductor chips.
