DART MINING – Chairman’s Address - AGM 2 October 2012

I am very proud of the Dart team for the outstanding work in taking the Unicorn project from a discovery by Dart through to a JORC Measured Indicated and Inferred Resource during a period of extreme market volatility through which it has never been easy to raise the capital necessary to complete the task.

The Unicorn project is a very large, low grade molybdenum-copper-silver porphyry deposit, geologically this type of porphyry is fairly unique. However, there is no shortage of molybdenum deposits around the world and only the best and lowest cost will make profitable mines, we at Dart believe that Unicorn has the attributes to make such a mine in large part because of the particular attributes of the location at Corryong.

But there is no doubt that challenges lie ahead. In planning the development of Unicorn, Dart cannot control commodity prices, but to the degree that we can, we must control our capital and operating costs. In order for Unicorn to be a long life profitable mine we must look for innovative low cost mining methods. Just as importantly we must work in partnership with all stakeholders to strike a balance between risk and reward.

In recent times Governments have seen mining as a potential golden goose, and encouraged expectations that wealth from mining should be spread to all Australians regardless of whether they have worked for it or not and without acknowledgement of risk and reward balance. This can very quickly lead to no development at all.

In Australia the minerals are owned by the States – not the federal government and in return for allowing companies to exploit those minerals, companies pay the States a royalty – that is a production payment based on revenue or volume - not profitability. Companies take all the risk from the time and cost invested in exploration, funding and technology risk, development and operational risk and commodity price risk. Whilst companies do not particularly like paying production based royalties there has been over time a reasonable balance between the scale of the royalty and the risks associated with development and mining. Recent political instability is severely distorting this risk reward balance.

The Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) is not imposed (yet) on the metals Dart has discovered at Unicorn, whilst the concept of increased “resource rent” on top of the cycle profits may be an arguable point, this tax was set up as a tax to underpin increased recurrent spending by government and imposed by a government that does not even own the minerals on which it seeks to apply the rent tax, another complete distortion of risk and reward.

In many jurisdictions all mineral related exploration and development capital is deductible before any corporate tax is paid. This is not the case in Australia where the balance between risk and reward has allowed full deductibility of exploration and amortisation of capital related to the life of the resource.

Recently the federal government’s Business Tax Working group was asked look at measures that could fully offset a reduction in company tax. Included in the discussion paper was reducing the ability of mining companies to fully deduct among other things – exploration and feasibility expenses. Exploration and feasibility studies are a form of R&D it is a high risk activity and to deny full deductibility to help level the tax base shows a complete lack of understanding of the risks of exploration. The result of doing this may in the short term increase tax income but it will also certainly reduce exploration and in the long run mining development and therefore reduce the long term tax base.

==> picture [119 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

Across Australia, regulatory and permitting risk is increasing the time and cost it now takes to get to the development starting line. We often hear that a delay in developing a project is not a problem because the resource remains in the ground for future generations. That may be true as a generality but for the investors, companies and communities that have invested heavily to discover and evaluate a resource, a significant delay caused by unreasonable regulatory hurdles and process duplication can impact a smaller company’s ability to realise value for its investment if the project passes undeveloped to another owner at a discounted value. Companies are expected to be well managed and transparent, we should expect the same from our government and bureaucracy.

From an investors perspective very long project lead times from exploration to cash flow requires a significant return on the development of a successful discovery to make it worthwhile to continue investing through the commodity cycle and to allow for the many projects that do not make it. If the industry cannot or is not allowed to deliver those returns then investors will look elsewhere.

Returning to Dart and the Unicorn Project, as I said in my opening remarks, much has been achieved over the last year but there is more work to be done to demonstrate economic viability of the Unicorn project. Dart is working on the first important step - the Scoping Study, which will be released later this month.

The Scoping Study will outline the capital and operating costs based on a development scenario for Unicorn under a series of economic parameters. From this Dart should see the pathway to development and understand what further detailed technical work is required and the funding scenario to undertake this work. Whilst the current commodity price and exchange rate environment is challenging, Dart is looking to a potentially 20plus year decision so as I indicated earlier it is about controlling the controllable factors including expectations of all stakeholders and it is Governments role to instil certainty, transparency and stability into the decisions for which they have responsibility.

I will now invite our Managing Director – Lindsay Ward to give you an update on the company and more detail of the achievements at Unicorn over the past year.

Variables and factors that influence the Mineral Resource Estimation

MoEq[1] (Molybdenum Equivalent) = Mo + (Cu / 3.44) + (Ag x 34.3) ( assumes equal metallurgical recovery for each metal ) – see Note 1 opposite.

  • Measured Mineral Resource at 0.06% MoEq[1] cutoff of 54 Mt @ 0.08% MoEq[1] is included in the 203 Mt @ 0.06% MoEq[1] at a 0.04% MoEq[1] cut off

Estimated by ordinary kriging on 50 x 50 x 50m blocks at 400ppm MoEq[1] Cut off grade (Cut off considered to represent a level at which the combined value of recoverable metals clearly shows reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction).

Top Cutting has been applied to high grade drill intersections at different values for each metal, such that grades utilised in the Resource do not rise above the following upper limits:

  • Molybdenum Cutoff: 3500ppm (0.35% Mo). Maximum value in drill hole samples 6260 ppm Mo

  • Copper Cutoff: 10000ppm (1.0% Cu). Maximum value in drill hole samples 17,800 ppm Cu

  • Silver Cutoff: 50ppm (50 g/t Ag). Maximum value in drill samples 100 g/t Ag

Bulk Density assigned by lithology. Silica Cap – 2.72 g/cm[3] ; Quartz Feldspar Porphyry 2.67 g/cm[3] ; Polymict Breccia 2.73 g/cm[3 ] ; Igneous Breccia 2.72 g/cm[3] ; Diorite 2.67

g/cm[3] and Sediments / Sedimentary Breccia 2.68 g/cm[3 .] A total of 27 samples were used to estimate the representative bulk density of each style of lithology / mineralisation.

Note 1: Molybdenum Equivalent Assumptions: Based on relative value (with reference to the average price) of each metal in the 2 months June 22[nd] to August 23[rd] 2012 listed on the LME for Molybdenum and Copper and average price for the same period for Silver as follows:

  • Mo US$25,871 per tonne

  • Cu US$7515.7 per tonne

  • Ag US$27.6 per ounce

Competent Person Statement

Information in this report that relates to a statement of Exploration Results and Mineral Resources of the Company is based on information compiled by Dean Turnbull B.App.Sc.(Geol) Hons. M. AIG. Mr Turnbull is a Director and full time employee of Dart Mining NL and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity he has undertaken to qualify as a competent person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral

The Molybdenum Equivalent grade should not be interpreted as actual molybdenum grade as the conversion ratios vary with the volatile prices of Mo, Cu and Ag. However, it is the Company's opinion that elements considered here have a reasonable prospect to be recovered.

Resources and Ore Reserves” (or “JORC Code”). Mr Turnbull has provided written consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
