Dart Strategy – Risk Management

Dart considers risk measurement, analysis and management to be

  • an integral part of maximising shareholder value

  • not just avoiding harm

DTM AGM Panel Discussion: 20 November 2014

Overview Of Risk Management At Dart

  • Focus on performance not just compliance

  • Quality not quantity

  • Deep analysis of most significant risks

Portfolio Investment Approach

Strategy Implementation

Development Unicorn PFS

Investment Exploration JV, IPO, leveraged aggressive regional opportunity including copper porphyry, base acceleration of existing and precious metals assets exploration

DTM AGM Panel Discussion: 20 November 2014

Development - Unicorn Deposit Overview

  • USA Climax-Henderson style Porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag

  • Extensive mineralisation zone from surface to greater than 400 m depth

  • Comprises a JORC (2004) Resource of 203 million tonnes of Cu-Mo-Ag

  • Only 20 km from electricity, water, workforce, with existing road access and logistics connections from mine to market

  • Strong local community and government support

  • Issue has been metallurgy

DTM AGM Panel Discussion: 20 November 2014

Metallurgy is key

==> picture [118 x 540] intentionally omitted <==

Metallurgical Challenges/Opportunities

From a metallurgical point of view - Unicorn is at least 4 deposit types in one!

  • Fresh quartz cap and porphyry zones - molybdenum (Mo) & copper (Cu), negligible zinc (Zn)

  • Fresh brecciated sediment and igneous zones - molybdenum & copper, negligible zinc

  • Fresh brecciated sediment and igneous zones - molybdenum, copper & significant zinc

  • Oxide zones - significant molybdenum & copper

----- End of picture text -----

Metallurgical Challenges/Opportunities

  • Previous tests focussed on combining all fresh deposit types – made optimum results difficult

  • Excellent Mo concentrates from all fresh zones, but challenged by Cu-Zn variability

  • Conventional Mo-Cu flotation processes (e.g. Chile) for deposit types 1 & 2

  • Hellyer type Cu-Zn separation processes adapted for type 3 after Mo flotation

  • Mo & Cu products can be produced from oxide by adapting a Climax Molybdenum process (10 – 15% additional value)

Development - Resource Drilling

==> picture [311 x 390] intentionally omitted <==

The infill drilling programme of up to 70 drill holes is to data for a designed provide resource re-estimation by Q2 2015, allowing refinement of Pre-Feasibility level Mine Design and Scheduling activities. This first phase of the drill program comprises up to 4,000m of RC drilling and minor diamond tail extensions in the deeper sections of the deposit and will be followed early in 2015 by a second phase of 6,000m • Some 1000m RC completed to date

  • New drill track work (blue track opposite) provides access to the NW portion of the resource

DTM AGM Panel Discussion: 20 November 2014

23

Development – Funding

  • The Unicorn Project PFS is continuing. Unicorn could become Victoria’s largest base metals mining project

  • So as to progress this, along with the many other prospects identified to date, Dart needs access to a significant injection of debt and/or equity funding

  • All debt and/or equity funding options are ‘in play’

Exciting range of Prospect ‘Riches’

  • Dart has significant access to the most unexplored , most exciting base metal province (including Porphyry Copper mineralisation potential) within the Lachlan Fold Belt in Australia

  • Dart has developed by Research & Development (R&D) , a USA Climax-Henderson Porphyry Molybdenum model from detailed investigation and analysis of the Unicorn Deposit to assist in the targeting and location of like porphyry mineralisation occurrences within its tenements in the region.

  • This approach has delivered a range of exciting porphyry copper, molybdenum, Silver, Zinc, and gold prospects and deposits throughout the region

DTM AGM Panel Discussion: 20 November 2014

The Lachlan Fold Belt

  • Lachlan Fold Belt and structural correlates

  • Reflecting south to north, Plate Tectonics Subduction Zone

  • Inducing Mountain Range ‘Spine’ along the entire eastern coast of Australia.

The EXCITING Potential of Dart’s NE Victoria Assets Base is recognised by:

  • The numerous past and present PRODUCERS spread along the length of LFB and its structural correlates

  • DSDBI and GSV via recent ‘New Perspectives’ Workshop deep seismic based re-interpretation of the OROCLINAL folding of LFB;

  • The UNDER-EXPLORED nature of the province due to its precipitous terrain; and

  • The Minister, in recently APPROVING the ‘neighbouring’ Stockman base metal project; and

renders it currently the MOST PROSPECTIVE porphyry, base & precious metal province, certainly within Victoria, and probably in Australia
