UNICORN PORPHYRY -
2010 Drilling Results
----- End of picture text -----

Drilling shows Unicorn :

  • has the important alteration characteristics and multiple intrusion phases identifying it as a “Climax system” - the geological style of the world’s largest primary molybdenum porphyry orebodies

  • • contains significant associated copper and silver mineralisation

  • • is open at depth and along strike suggesting significant size

About Molybdenum
----- End of picture text -----

  • When added to steel, molybdenum enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, elevated temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. In nickel-base alloys, it improves resistance to both corrosion and high-temperature creep deformation.

  • World demand is approx 200,000 tonnes per year

  • • About 47% of supply comes as a by-product primarily from copper mines

==> picture [387 x 241] intentionally omitted <==

  • Molybdenum commenced trading on the LME in Feb 2010

  • Recent prices are US$38,000-$40,000/tonne

==> picture [721 x 136] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Significance of Mo-Cu porphyries
----- End of picture text -----

  • Porphyry systems are typically very large and may contain different phases of different grade mineralisation

  • Primary Molybdenum porphyries are relatively rare but economically significant

  • Molybdenum price of $37,000 per tonne is 4.5 X the value of copper

  • 0.1%Mo has a value equal

to 0.45% copper

  • Additional copper and silver

  • mineralisation adds value

==> picture [721 x 136] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

World Molybdenum
Deposits
----- End of picture text -----

  • Typically primary molybdenum only deposits can be mined from about 0.06% in open cut and from 0.12% underground, many operate at significantly above resource grade

  • Copper provides an important by-product for many of the mines, however, the big three in the USA – Henderson, Climax and Thompson Creek have no meaningful copper

  • Unicorn has an important copper and silver component that will add to ultimate value

  • Initial results from the first three deep drillholes into Unicorn’s porphyry stockworks zone have extensive molybdenum and copper mineralisation giving Dart encouragement that Unicorn is a significant discovery

DART DOES NOT HAVE A RESOURCE BUT RESULTS FROM HOLE DUNDD004 & DUNDD005
ALREADY SHOW WIDE INTERVALS OF MINERALISATION SUGGESTING THAT UNICORN IS
WORTHY OF SIGNIFICANT FURTHER DRILLING.
It should be noted that any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has been
insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will
result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

A NEW METALLOGENIC PROVINCE
----- End of picture text -----

  • Dart has identified a new metallogenic province in NE Victoria with potential for very large molybdenum-copper-silver porphyries, at both its Unicorn and Morgan projects

  • The Unicorn porphyry is a mineralised system unique in Australia, with similarities to the Climax mine (USA) one of the world’s largest primary molybdenum deposits.

  • Early indications of grade are comparable or better than any other Australasian Mo discovery

  • Early regional work shows additional systems (e.g. Morgan, Bunroy, Boebuck) are likely within the Dart tenements
