risks

An investment in Dart is highly speculative as mineral exploration is subject to a wide range of risks, and there is no quarantee of success. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in Dart, potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and, in particular, consider the specific and general risk factors set out in Section 4 that could affect the performance of the Company, a summary of which factors is set out below:

  • materal exploration is a high risk business. There can be no assurance that exploration will result in the discovery of a mineral deposit or economically mineable reserves. There are presently no JORC-defined mineral resources on the Tenements;
  • It is likely that Dart will require further equity or debt funding to finance its future activities, after completing the expenditure programs detailed in Section 2 over the two-year period described. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to procure that funding, which may adversely affect its business;
  • other risks include operational, tenement title, community and environmental, technical and managerial, Native title, gold price and exchange rate and general risks.

You should carefully consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek professional advice from your accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional advisor before deciding whether to invest.

Dear Investor

On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to invite you to become a Shareholder in Dart Mining NL, a company focused on exploration for and development of, gold and base metal projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt in north-eastern Victoria and south-eastern New South Wales.

Victoria's large endowment of gold is again attracting the attention of explorers. However, in contrast to the predominantly suppetty cold of cestral Victoria that was the basis of much of the historic production. Dart is focusing as attention on disseminated gold and base metal deposits associated with the Molong volcanic arc of eastern Australia.

The Company's geologists have developed a structural geological model - the Polygon Vortex Model - to help anderstand and predict the location of mineralisation from a regional to a local scale and are using this model to focus the exploration effort.

Dart has amassed significant and strategic tenement interests covering almost 1.700 so km in north-eastern Victoria and south-eastern New South Wales. Within the existing tenements there are wide-spread indications of gold mineralisation across several historic goldfields, including the Buckland, Mt Elliott, Dart and Zulu-Saltpetre goldfields. All of these historic mining areas were recognised as high grade, but failed to live up to the expectations of the early miners primarily because the technology in use at that time could not achieve an adequate vield of gold from its suiphide host mineralisation. Since the cessation of mining in the early twentieth century the region has been all but forgotten by miners with little modern systematic exploration undertaken, thereby providing Dart with an outstanding opportunity.

During the last three years geological fieldwork and some drilling has been undertaken in preparation for presenting this public offering. The results are very encouraging with disseminated gold mineralisation confirmed at a number of prospects ready to drill in 2007, once funding becomes available. In addition, a number of mineralised porphyrys have been identified that are prospective for large copper-gold and related base metal systems. Dart has prioritised several project areas for a fast-track drill focused exploration program with the prospect of advancing rapidly towards production.

The Company's prospective ground holdings, advanced project generation skills, established local relationships and experienced management group give us confidence that we will continge to advance the properties towards a significant gold and/or base metal discovery.

Before you make your investment decision, please carefully read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice, if required.

On behalf of the Directors, Hook forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder in Dart and to your participation in its future growth.

Yours faithfally

TABLE 2 USE OF FUNDS
k.

кf,

The Chart below shows the allocation of funds to be raised under the Offer by anticipated activity areas across the Company's projects described in Section 2 of this Prospectus.

CHART: PLANNED FUNDS ALLOCATION BY ACTIVITY

As with all exploration activities, whilst the Company undertakes activities with the objective, and in anticipation, of success at each of its prospects, there will inevitably be results that show both success earlier than expected as well as disappointment. Consequently, the Company may re-allocate funds described above as may be required to maximise the effectiveness of the Company's exploration program.

$1.7$ NO PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL FORECASTS - DIVIDEND POLICY

The Directors have considered the matters outlined in ASIC Policy Statement 170. Given that the Company is an early stage exploration company and the highly speculative nature of exploration and any subsequent development and production, the Company considers that it is unable to provide potential investors with any reliable revenue, profit or cash flow projections. or forecasts.

In that regard, the Directors do not currently intend to pay dividends. The capacity to pay dividends in the future will depend on a number of factors including future earnings, capital expenditure requirements and the financial position of the Company. The Directors can give no assurance as to the amount, timing, franking or payment of any future dividends by the Company.

An investment in Shares issued under this Prospectus should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks of investing in mineral exploration companies, there are specific risks associated with an investment in Dart which are set out in Section 4 of this Prospectus.

DART'S PROJECTS

DART GEOLOGISTS ANAEYSING WATER SAMPLES FROM THE NORTH MAMMOTH PROSPECT.

The Company's objectives are:

  • To explore for and discover a gold resource of sufficient size for Dart to become a gold producer;
  • To grow initial gold production by on-going exploration success, building a resource base across different aoidfelds:
  • To be successful in discovering and developing large gold and base metals mineralised systems in porphyry - Reduced Intrusive Related Gold ("RIRG") gold-silver-base metals targets.

Dart has established a strategic tenement interest holding in north-eastern Victoria and south-eastern New South Wales, areas which are prospective for gold, silver and base metals. The Tenements are host to at least five separate coldfields, mined sporadically from the 1880s to the early 1900s and contain multiple high grade gold lode style and disseminated gold prospects. Since that time those goldfields have not been subjected to substantial modern ceological evaluation. The "Dart tenement" (EL4726) also hosts a number of porphyry intrusives many with anomalous geochemistry and structure indicative of RIRG style gold-silver-base metals mineralisation.

Dart intends to implement a comprehensive exploration program focused initially on drilling already defined targets on the Texements. The maltiple prospects represent a unique opportunity to explore these mineralised systems. in addition, Dart intends to continue to identify and evaluate exploration prospects and opportunities generally within the Lachian Fold Belt.

FIGURE A STRUCTURAL SETTING OF THE TENEMENTS WITHIN THE LACHLAN FOLD BELT

$\overline{2}$

Dart's projects are located where the major east Australian Molong volcanic arc converges with the back-arc sedimentary basin of the Lachlan Fold belt. The volcanic arc hosts disseminated gold-copper porphyry deposits such as the Endeavour-Peak Hill deposits near Parkes. Cowal, Ridgeway and Cadia in New South Wales and the Benambra copper-zinc deposits south of the Dart tenement in Victoria. The adiacent back arc sedimentary basin of the Lachlan Fold belt's Central Province is known to host tin-bismuth-tundsten-oold-silver-lead-zinc and rare earths within the Girlambone-Orneo Structural Zone, as shown in Figure A.

Due to the convergence of the metallogenic betts, the Tenements may simultaneously host structurally controlled high grade and disseminated lode gold deposits, disseminated porphyry gold-copper and RIRG precious-base metals systems that include bismuth-tin-copper-lead-zinc mineralisation, as shown Figure B. Generally the latter are more reduced in oxidation state compared to classic porphyry systems. These RIRG systems are a relatively newly recognised class of mineralisation first described in the Palaeozoic Tintina Gold Province of North America (e.g. Donlin Creek and Fort Knox) and are now recognised in other major intrusive related disseminated gold-base metal provinces worldwide. Proterozoic examples in Australia include Tanami and Teller. The relationships between the different styles of RIRG mineralisation are shown in Figure C.

Previously these systems may have been overlooked in part due to their lower magnetic signatures. Now, however, recognition of RIRG systems including the porphyry variants is providing a new impetus in exploration for disseminated base and precious metal systems worldwide.

STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF THE POLYGON VORTEX MODEL SHOWING KEY MENERALISED CENTRES IN FL4726

Dart's geological team has developed the "Polygon Vortex Model" ("Polygon Model" or "Model") to assist in both the selection of prospective mineralised areas and the methodology of exploration. Initially, the Model helped explain mineral clustering across the Tenements.

The Model seeks to predict a higher probability of disseminated gold mineralisation occurring in originally thin earth crust environments within certain structurally prepared sites, controlled by a Late Silurian to Early Devonian trans-tensional tectonic framework that was active between the Benambran and Bindian Orogenies. Within this setting, metal-laden fluids focussed along different generations and orientations of intersecting faults splaying off the Gilmore Suture Zone. Strong groups of structures define mineralisation Corridors. A number of differently orientated Corridors have now been identified by the Company, including the Dart, Zulu, Dinner Creek and Buckwong Creek Corridors, the Towong-Tawonga Corridor, and the Empress and Mammoth Corridors. Another important corridor, the Indi Corridor, a major Gilmore Suture flexure, controls the massive copper-zinc Wilga and Currawong mineralisation near Benambra (refer to Figure B).

The Polycon Model seeks to predict major mineralising activity where corridors intersect and the Model's fractal component explains areas of enhanced dilatory structures, randing from macroscopic to microscopic scale. The Model's vortices highlight targets of enhanced disseminated mineralisation and have application in exploration from broad regional to detailed prospect scale within the corridors and local structures. It is applicable at targeting large RiRG systems as well as gold lode and associated disseminated gold style mineralisation already known to be present within the Tenements (refer to Figure C).

$FIGURE C$ SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIFFERENT MINERALISATION STYLES IN AN RIRG SYSTEM

A significant regional feature is the major flexure of the Gilmore Suture thought to arise by docking of the Suture Zone against a deep crustal nucleus in the Ordovician-Silurian period within the Victorian-New South Wales border region (refer to Figure A). This flexure gave rise to an extensive set of radiating splay faults across the Tenements. These structures occur in the transition zone of the arc and back-arc terrains and may have assisted in the development of a plumbing system for the penetration of mineralising fluids, giving rise to combined porphyry/RIRG. systems (refer to Figure C). Also genetically related to and controlled by these structures are the disseminated gold mineralisation afready identified in the known goldfields within the Tenements.

The Tenements are large and strategically located, covering a number of porphyry clusters and RIRG systems prospective for a diverse range of gold-silver-base metal mineralisation styles. Prospects include smaller near surface high grade gold lode structures, to larger subsurface gold targets, large disseminated gold-silver and base metal porphyries and RIRG mineralised systems. The Polygon Model will be used to quide the Company's exploration activities to what is anticipated to be the more prospective areas.

TENEMENTS

Dart is exploring within three Exploration Licences, two of which are located in north-eastern Victoria and one in south-eastern New South Wales. The total area of the Tenements is approximately 1,700km2 and they are well serviced by infrastructure, including major highways and secondary roads, together with numerous bush tracks established for forestry access. The town of Corryong (population 1100) is located just outside the boundary of E£4726, and the town of Bright (population 2000) is located near EL4724. E£6172 (fooma) is accessed by sealed secondary roads approximately 30 km north of Corryong.

F14724 (BUCKI AND)—FAIRLEY'S PROSPECT

$2.3$ 2.3.1

Situated approximately 200 kilometres from Melbourne in north-eastern Victoria, the Buckland Valley goldfield is situated entirely within EL4724 (Buckland) (refer to Figure E). Fairley's prospect is a "re-discovery" which Dart considers of exploration significance. The prospect is situated at 800 metres elevation on a ridge above Fairley's Creek, a tributary of the Buckland River and its extensive historic alluvial gold workings.

232

HISTORIC PRODUCTION

LOCATION

Aŝtuvial gold production from the Buckland goldfield was continuous from 1853 to about 1919, with a second period of production in the 1930s which included large hydraulic and bucket dredge operations. However, the reported hard rock orogenic style deposits were small and insufficient to explain the source of such consistent alluvial gold production.

The Alpine Observer (a contemporary local newspaper in the 1800s), reported extensively on production from the mines in the field. The rediscovery of Fairley's resulted from detailed research by Dart's geologists to "look for differences" among over 375 individually identified orogenic style gold occurrences. Although lost in modern accounts of the goldfield, newspaper reports then considered the Fairley's Creek Mine as one of the most significant hard rock deposits found in the field. The Mine exhibited unusual mineralogy compared to the smaller surrounding orogenic lodes, in which the cold was traditionally free milling. Despite contemporaneous reports of very high crades, the low vields realised suggests to Dart that substantial gold was contained in sulphides and not able to be recovered on site with the technology of the time.

2.3.3

PROSPECT GEOLOGY

Gold at Fairley's prospect is primarily hosted in sulphide mineralisation within north-west trending structures associated with local deformational folding. Recent mapping by Dart's geologists has confirmed the historic accounts of the gold lode characteristics. Surface sampling within the old open cut workings and sediments surrounding the gold lode structure has identified high grade gold tode mineralisation within a broader zone of disseminated gold within mineralised stockworks.

The Towong-Tawonga Fault splay off the Gilmore Suture intersects strike elements of country rock fabric, at a prospect scale, magnetic and structural features include a significant fault (from geophysical interpretation) striking sub-parallel with the north-west trend of the goldfield to define the macro-polygonal 'Buckland Goldfield Vortex'. Early Devonian age porphyritic stocks, possibly of the Pridolian mineralisation epoch, together with early Cainozoic volcanic plugs, occupy these structures.

These structural features together with the marked mineralogical difference that distinguishes Fairley's prospect from the many small orogenic style gold veins elsewhere in the Buckland goldfield, suggests a genetic connection between the Fairley's prospect mineralisation and the porphyry mineralisation epoch of EL4726 (Dart).

FIGURE E BUCKLAND GOLDFIELD GEOLOGY AND PROSPECT LOCATION

EXPLORATION OBJECTIVE, PLAN AND BUDGET

Dart's initial objective is to fully evaluate the Fairley's prospect by drilling to test for extensions of the high grade gold lode mineralisation mined historically, and the associated disseminated cold mineralisation identified by Dart's geologists. (Figure F)

FIGURE F LONG SECTION OF THE FAIRLEY'S PROSPECT

The Work Plan proposed for Fairley's, which is subject to the approval of the DPI, provides for the construction of track access through a degraded and abandoned pine plantation, following an overgrown disused track. Once over the gold lode outcrop, a switchback track for drill access is intended to be established up the spur crossing the Fairley's lode position at regalar intervals. This will allow a clear view of the gold lode geology for mapping and sampling, thereby providing a better gaide to the style and scale of the near sarface Fairley's gold mineralisation. A proposed drilling program will then test the depth extent of gold mineralisation at Fairley's (Figure F). The budget for this program over the first two years under the proposed Work Plan is approximately \$1,060,000. However, the Directors intend to accelerate this work if it were to become apparent that the prospect hosts sufficient mineralisation to warrant an intensive drilling program.

Field mapping and sampling will also be undertaken to evaluate further nearby prospects, including Kaufman's & Sampson's and Great White Star, all considered to present disseminated gold targets. Other targets to be evaluated include New Year's Gift, a high grade gold vein prospect that appears to show atypically long mineralised shoots (Figure E).

F14726 (DART) - MT FLHOTT GOLDFIFLD

$2.4.1$

LOCATION

The Mt Elliott goldfield is situated some 2 kilometres from the Murray Valley Highway and less than six kilometres east of the town of Corryong in north-eastern Victoria, and is accessible year round by farm roads to the edge of the State forest. It will be one of the first of Dart's projects to be drill tested.

2.3.4

Historical accounts of the Mt Elliott goldfield, from the 1880s to early 1900s ascribe some £250,000 to the gold value derived from the high grade gold lodes, which equates to about 83,000 ounces of gold production. Consistent with those accounts, Dart's geologists have observed workings along the 3km Bust in Time and Hope lines and historical accounts of the New Cham Mine which was mined to a depth of 125m and reported an average 10 ounces of gold per ton mined over a three-year production period (Figure G).

FIGURE G MOUNT ELLIOT GOLDFIELD

$2.4.2$

2.4.3

A number of features at both regional and prospect scale appear to support the prospectivity of the Mt Elliott goldfield. These include a large magnetic anomaly that underlies the host rocks of the Mt Elliott goldfield, which is postulated to be a pluton that could have provided the heat source for the hydrothermal fluids that formed the goldfield. Significantly, the possible presence of a pluton strengthens a genetic connection with the crustal thighing phase and extensional tectonics regime considered to be responsible for the porphyry mineralisation in this EL. This is important as it implies that disseminated gold mineralisation may be associated with the high grade lodes at Mt Elliott.

The Towong-Tawonga Fault splay, seen as significant in EL4724 (Buckland), passes through the Mt Eliott goldfield. There is also evidence of a late Silurian - Early Devonian age dyke swarm, which is considered to be genetically related to the extensional phase of crustal thinning. Dart's research has uncovered historical evidence of gold mineralisation over several metres in dioritic dykes associated with the Just in Time line of workings at a locality known as the Pinnacle. Copper mineralisation occurs in association with the Burra Volcanic Caldera and dyke swarm to the west and the northern RIRG porphyry precious-base metal field adioins the Mt Elliot coldfield to the south.

$2.4.4$

EXPLORATION OBJECTIVE, PLAN AND BUDGET

Dart's three-dimensional modelling of the Just in Time and Hope lines of lode indicates the continuation of significant zones of gold mineralisation, both down dip and along strike below the old workings, is likely. The Just in Time line of lode, together with splay and parallel gold lodes extends for over three kilometres, and accordingly, the 7km long Mt Elliott goldfield presents an accessible priority target to be tested by drilling.

Recent sampling by Dart of waste durnps on the Mt Etiott goldfield confirms gold assaying up to 15g/t. in arsenopyrite-rich lode material (Figure H). It is believed by the Company that because of the sulphide-rich ore, gold recovery by the early miners was low using the technology of the time.

Drill targets have been generated and a drilling program, for which there is a Work Plan approved by the DPI, is proposed as a fast test of the key targets (Figure H).

The program is planned in three phases. First, reverse circulation drilling will be used to test a 700m strike section of the Just in Time and Hope lines of lode, then follow up diamond drilling will test continuity of historic gold grades over minable widths. If successful, Dart intends to continue an intensive drilling program. The Company's budget for this work is \$705,000.

FIGURE H MT ELLIOT GOLDFIELD: IUST IN TIME LINE DRILL PROGRAM

LOCATION

The Dart goldfield is located some forty kilometres south of Corryong, to the west of the main Corryong to Benambra road. Extending over approximately ten kilometres on a north-south trend, only the northern third of the known historic mined area is within EL4726, the southern two thirds being in the Victorian Alpine National Park, Access from the main road is by forestry tracks, and the Mountain View prospect is an initial focus of Dart's exploration program in this goldfield.

$2.5.2$

HISTORIC PRODUCTION

Historic records suggest that in the Dart goldfield only some of the gold was recovered and despite the fact that the ore was roasted before mercury plate recovery much of the gold was retained in sulphides and lost due to limitations of the technology at the time. The sulphide concentrates were recognised as valuable but generally not saved.

The Mountain View prospect was discovered by Polmear in 1881 when 160 tonnes of oxidised ore was crushed for an average yield of ? ounce per tonne. The mine was then purchased by the Dark River Company which erected a roasting furnace and chlorination plant in 1884. Over ensuing years the lode was worked intermittently by open pit, adits and shafts to a depth of 32 metres. Historically recorded production at Mountain View was 42.5 kg {1,365 ounces} of gold from 954 tonnes of ore during the period 1883-1888.

In 1994, Mountain View Resources Pty Ltd (a company then associated with a current Director, Bernhard Hochwimmer) endertook a small test pit operation that yielded some 250 cences of gold from approximately 1,100 tonnes of mixed oxide and sulphide ore.

DARE GEOLOGISTS EOOKENG AT SULPHIDE GOLD ORE IN THE MOUNTAIN VIEW GOLD TREAL PIT.

2.5.3

The Dart goldfield is influenced by splay structures and the Cravensville Volcanic Arc, specifically the Dartella volcanic caldera. Numerous known gold-silver-base metal lodes occur in proximity to a dyke swarm and the Glendart Syncline.

The Empress corridor intersects the Dart Corridor at a section of the Dart goldfield that hosts both the Mountain View and Dart mines, as well as a Pridolian Epoch I-type intrusive that is anomalous in gold. Dart considers this intersecting vortex position of particular significance since the intrusive lies on the axial plane of the Glendart syncline that in turn is on strike with the large Mammoth porphyry mineralised system to the south. It is, however, just one of the prospective plutons in the Dart Fault Pluton String.

2.5.1

PROSPECT GEOLOGY

FIGURE I STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS OF THE DART - ZULU AND SALTPETRE MINING AREAS)

The Mountain View lode structure outcrops as a ferruginous zone over several kilometres containing many mine workings, including the shallow Moantain View gold workings, extending for 300m along strike. Nearby the Golden Bell workings occur on a parallel structure that also extends for several kilometres. There are numerous parallel lode structures within the Dart goldfield, giving an aggregate length of some 20 kilometres of gold lodes to be explored.

The Dart goldfield comprises a number of discrete gold lode structures although individually the target size of gold lodes may be small. Dart's exploration program seeks to define sufficient supergene enriched and sulphide targets within the goldfield that could aggregate into a significant gold project.

At Mountain View, a scout percussion drill program was undertaken in May 2006 to provide an indication of gold grade and continuity directly below the Mountain View trial pit (Figure 3). Ten holes were drilled (fable 4) on seven sections over a strike distance of 53 metres and intersected gold mineralisation in all holes ranging from 1.7g/t to 9.9g of gold per tonne over a true width estimated from 2 to 7 metres. (A number of holes were planned, however to date only the ten holes shown in Table 4 below have been drilled, hence the hole identification numbers are not in sequence.)

The drilling demonstrated subsurface continuity of gold mineralisation and is regarded as highly encograging. Mountain View mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth and, adjacent to the main lode there are untested gold-bearing silicification zones.

Dart proposes further drilling to test the Mountain View lode mineralisation for extensions beneath the silicified and ovritic zones outcropoing along the ridge. Thereafter, and depending on the results achieved, bulk sampling may be undertaken to determine the mining and metallurgical characteristics of mineralisation.

There are a sumber of similarly accessible historic gold mines in the goldfield including the pearby Dart Mine. Because of the clustering and the near surface nature of the gold mineralisation, initial evaluation will use standard soil geochemistry methods along the defined lines of gold lode to select target zones for follow-up.

The Company has budgeted \$288,000 over the next two years to undertake this program.

EL4726 (DART)-ZULU AND SALTPETRE GAP GOLDFIFLD $26$ LOCATION

2.6.1

Located to the south-east of the Dart goldfield and accessible from the main Convong to Benambra road along minor roads and fire tracks, this goldfield is one of the lesser-known Victorian goldfields.

2.6.2

HISTORIC PRODUCTION

The Zulu-Saltpetre Gap goldfield includes the Mountaineer. Lady Lock. Treasury and Lone Hand mines operated in the 1890s by the South Federation Company (Figure I). In 1898 mining widths of approximately 5m were reported at the "Lady Lock" with some 1,873 tons ore returning 508 oances (~8.3g/t) of retorted gold. Historically, the deepest ore mined was to 45m at the Treasury mine; here, some 450 tons of ore yielded 493 ounces (~33.5q/t) of retorted gold from a winze. Prospecting by the Victorian Heights Prospecting Syndicate in a 1931 campaign was reported by Victorian Government geologist, John G. Easton, to have recorded assays of up to 4 ounces/ton.

2.6.3

PROSPECT GEOLOGY

The Zalu-Saltnetre Gan goktfiekt lies sub-parallel and proximal to a repeat of the Glendart Syncline Beadoc Group sediments and the Saltpetre Gap fault (Figure 7). This area is prospective for a Mammoth porphyry style system or disseminated gold mineralisation. The gossanous outcrops of the gold fodes can be traced for a considerable distance and the reported high grade gold bearing sulphides below the oxide zone is an exploration target.

2.6.4

EXPLORATION OBJECTIVE. PLAN AND BUDGET

The clustering and near surface nature of the mineralised gold lodes in the Zulu-Saltpetre Gap goldfield is similar to the Dart goldfield. Dart's exploration objective is to define sufficient discrete supergene enriched and sulphide targets that could aggregate into a project. This concept is consistent with that of the Mountain View prospect in the Dart coldfield (see Section 2.5).

Dart's geologists have undertaken reconnaissance sampling of the Zalu goldfield and conferred gold mineralisation at the historic Zula Mine. It is intended that this and other prospects in the field will be evaluated by mapping, sampling and, if considered warranted, geophysical surveys, prior to any decision to drill. Over the next two years \$42,000 is intended to be expended to progress this evaluation.

2.7.1

$2.7$

OVERVIEW

Dart has achieved substantial progress toward understanding the porphyry style of mineralisation in the Tenements by geological, geophysical, metallogenic and structural synthesis through geological time scales, aided by three-dimensional digital modelling. This led to the development of the Polygon Vortex Model. The Polygon Model assists Dart in identifying porphyry exploration targets.

Gold-silver and base metals mineralised systems are evident in the southern sector of EL4726 (Dart) at the Mammoth-Donovan Hill system and in what the Company refers to as the "Northern Sector Porphyries". Gold-base metals mineralisation is associated with the Cravensville Volcanic Arc as RIRG style with similarities to Fort Knox and other major gold-base metal deposits in the Tintina Belt of North America.

2.7.2

EL4726 (DART) - SOUTHERN SECTOR PORPHYRIES

In the southern sector of this tenement, magnetic anomalies occur on intersecting polygonal elements, termed by the Company as the Dinner Creek and Buckwong Creek magnetic targets (Figure I). These bodies are interpreted by Dart to be buried I-Type intrusive plugs that may help explain alluvial gold occurrences, the source for which appears not to have been found by historic alluvial miners working along Dinner and Buckwong Creeks. Miners did, however, reportedly observe visible gold within fragments of "mineralised granite" from the wash. This reported observation reinforces the possibility of a genetic link to intrusives within the southern sector of this EL (see Figure I).

At the Marnmoth-Donovan Hill prospect, polygonal boundary closure is provided by the country rock grain of the north trending Dart Corridor, with the extension tectonics leading to the possibility of zones of bar-like gold-silver-base metals mineralisation in the Corridor (Figure K). The axial plane projection of the Glendart Syncline (which extends from the Dart goldfield) makes it possible that the organic Bolindian Shales of this down-faulted sequence were intersected at depth by porphyry intrusives, providing a catalyst for the gold-silver-base metals mineralised system. Black organic slates and dome folding which occur in this area have similar patterns to those recognised in mineralised porphyries of other regions.

It should be noted that approximately half of the ten kilometre long Mammoth prospect area fies outside the EL and within the Victorian Alpine National Park.

DONOVAN'S HILL CONCEALED PORPHYRY PROSPECT TAKEN FROM NORTH MAMMOTH PROSPECT.

At Donovan Hill, Dart has interpreted a classic geochemical and geophysical ring anomaly as a vortex zone which suggests a concealed porphyry plug lying beneath a sliver of the Saltpetre Gap Fault thrust zone. The Saltpetre Gap Fault is interpreted from the publicly available magnetic data, as a shallow North dipping and North-East trending zone exceeding 800m width. The overall interpretation of the Donovan Hill anomaly is based on previous work by Pan Australian Mining Ltd and Conwest, a close spaced aeromagnetic survey flown by the Geological Survey of Victoria in 1995 and Dart's own mapping program, which found evidence of sulphides including silver and tinasomalism (Figure K).

The Donovan Hill ring anomaly joins with the Marnmoth geochemical anomaly southward, where it envelopes the mineralised porphyry bar-like outcrop that extends south across the Gibbo River and into what is now the Victorian Afpine National Park to where companies including Conwest and Pan Australian Mining Ltd undertook limited drilling in the 1980s, prior to the declaration of the National Park. The results of that drilling encourage Dart to further investigate that mineralisation associated with the Mammoth Porphyry which is within the EL.

FIGURE K MAMMOTH AND DONOVAN'S HILL SOIL AND STREAM SEDIMENT GEOCHEMISTRY

The Northern Sector Porphyries are located at the intersection of the Empress and Zulu Corridors where structural elements comprise intersecting thrust sheets interpreted by the Polygon Model, and which are considered by Dart to be prospective for gold, silver and base metals mineralisation (Figure L).

Past exploration activity by CRA Exploration Pty Etd has identified widespread soil base metal anomalies. The more significant anomalies appear to be concentrated in the corridor intersection region as predicted by the Polygon Model.

At the Mt Morgan and Mt Unicom prospects, a high palaeo-level emplacement is suggested by petrography and geologically by the cover rocks which include myolitic cap rocks and anomalous leakage geochemistry. Whilst very fine magnetite is widespread in the contact areas, these porphyries are consistent with the RIRG class of mineralisation.

The Empress Corridor is an important Polygon Model feature hosting the Northern Sector Porphyries and a string of magnetic I-Type dioritic intrusions, termed by the Company as the "Dart Fault Platon String". Soil geochemistry surveys by Western Mining Corporation, in the 1970s, defined a target known as Scorodite Spur aligned with the Dart Fault Pluton String that shows anomalous arsenic (up to 950ppm) and with some anomalous copper and zinc. Samples bearing the mineral scorodite, the namesake of the prospect, are anomalous in As. Bi. Ag. Au. Cu and Pb and show an association with ogartz and iron oxide veining. WMC did not endertake ferther work at this prospect but in the light of the Model and the metal affinities with RIRG systems, this prospect will be further investigated by the Company (Figure M).

$2.7.4$

EXPLORATION OBJECTIVE, PLAN AND BUDGET

Typically in RIRG systems, semi-reduced to moderately oxidised fluids are responsible for mineralisation. Low magnetism in these systems is possibly the main reason they have not been recognised in the past. Dart considers the Polygon Model and recognition of RIRG systems as a decisive exploration quide.

Dart aims to further resolve the interpretation of Mammoth-Donovans Hill before undertaking firnited stratigraphical drilling on the North Mammoth drill target. If considered warranted, a second phase of geophysically targeted drilling would aim to penetrate the fault sliver cap at depth to test for the presence of the Marmhoth protolith plug.

At the Northern Sector porphyries Dart intends to use geophysical surveys to assist in determining afteration vectors to gold-siver and base metals mineralisation and to refine the interpretation. Drill testing of targets beneath the cap rocks on the margin of the Mt Morgan and Mt Unicom high palaeo-level intrusions will follow.

Dart's interpretation of the systems as RIRG encourages Dart to further explore the porphyries within the Dart EL with the objective of a major gold/base metal discovery. The Polygon Model has been the first step in understanding this structurally complex system, its refinement will quide further exploration toward the objective of discovering mineralisation. Dart has budgeted \$826,000 for this work over the next two years.

LOCATION DESCRIPTION

The Tooma region is in southern New Soath Wales close to the Victorian border and is linked by sealed secondary roads to the Victorian town of Corryong, Following a statutory relinquishment in 2005, this Tenement now comprises five discrete areas selected to cover what Dart's geologists consider the more prospective areas. The total area of E£6172 is approximately 129km2.

$2.8.2$

HISTORIC PRODUCTION

Historically, the prospectivity of this Exploration Licence is related to historic alluvial gold production which is reported as 120,000 ounces of gold. There are four main alluvial targets: Tooma, Mannus, Tarcutta Creek and Burra Creek. Deep Lead targets beneath shallow overburders occur at Surface Hill (Figure N).

$2.8$ $2.8.1$ Past drilling of the Tooma deposit, showed that alluvial material containing approximately 0.2 g/m3 Au occurs with minor sapphire under shallow overburden. Mannus Creek and the Tarcutta deposit have similar alluvials, although the latter is smaller and possibly higher grade. Burra Creek is smaller again but could also be of a higher grade. Tin, ilmenite, rutile, gamet, and corundum/sapphire with diamonds have been reported in the Tumbarumba region generally.

This Tenement lies close to an important section of the Gilmore Suture Zone where a major inflexion begins before it crosses into Victoria just east of the Tenement, where its continuation is known as the Indi Fault.

2.8.3

EXPLORATION PLAN AND BUDGET

Dart intends to undertake an extensive regional study of the tectonic and structural setting, using the Polygon Model to identify and evaluate prime structural locations for gold-base metals mineralisation. Regional assessment by hydro-geochemistry is planned. This will be supported by field checking to investigate the possibility of the Tooma EL to host RIRG porphyry systems to account for the alluvial deposits the source of which has never been explained. Dart also intends to evaluate tungsten targets at Quartzville and investigate the historic Pioneer gold vein.

The Company has budgeted \$172,000 over the next two years to undertake this program.

DART MINING NI, PROSPECTUS

The Directors are responsible for protecting the rights and interests of the Shareholders through the implementation of sound strategies and action plans and the development of an integrated framework of controls over the Company's resources, functions and assets. The Directors will also ensure that significant risks facing the Company have been identified, and that appropriate and adequate control, monitoring and reporting mechanisms are in place.

However, for a company the size of Dart, it may not be appropriate or practicable for it to comply with all of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations of ASX Corporate Governance Council. Nevertheless, the Directors intend to move as soon as is practicable to adopt corporate governance policies and practice established by ASX Corporate Governance Council and will report on the Company's compliance in the current financial vear's financial report, assuming the Company is listed on ASX.

This statement outlines the main corporate governance policies, which the Directors have adopted. The Directors have also adopted a Board Charter which seeks to protect the rights and interests of shareholders and ensure the Cornoany is properly managed.

GENERAL

The Company does not have any formally constituted committees of the Board of Directors. The Directors consider that the Company is not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of special or separate. committees. The Board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the Company's activities and ensure that it adheres to appropriate educal standards.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

The Board comprises five Directors. The names, qualifications and relevant experience of Directors are set out in Section 3.1. The Constitution provides that Dart must have at least three and not more than twelve Directors. There is no requirement for any Director's shareholding qualification.

Presently, there are no independent Directors serving on the Board. The Board believes the individuals on the Board can make, and do make, quality and independent judgements in the interests of the Company. Directors who have a conflict of interest in relation to any item of business must absent themselves from the Board meeting before discussion on that item.

As the Company's activities change in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board will be reviewed, with a view to maintaining a Board that can adequately and appropriately supervise the Company's activities.

The Board does not have a nomination committee. Members of the Board have been brought together to provide a blend of qualifications and skills, along with the experience required for managing a company operating within the exploration and minima industry in Australia. Where appropriate, independent consultants will be engaged to identify possible new candidates for the Board.

APPOINTMENT AND RETIREMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

The Constitution provides that Directors are subject to retirement by rotation, by order of length of appointment with one third of Directors retiring and/or offering themselves for re-election every year. Retiring Directors are eligible for re-election by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company. Every Director is subject to re-election by shareholders at least every three years.

DUTIES OF DIRECTORS

Directors are expected to accept all duties and responsibilities associated with the running of a public company, to act in the best interests of the Company and to carry out their duties and responsibilities with due care and diligence.

Directors are required to take into consideration conflicts when accepting appointments to other Boards. Accordingly, Directors wishing to accept appointment to other Boards must first seek Board approvat. Approvat will not unreasonably he withheld.

PAGE 34

INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

The Board has determined that individual Directors may, in appropriate circumstances, engage outside advisors at the Company's expense. The engagement of an outside advisor is subject to the prior approval of the Board, which will not unreasonably be withheld.

COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

The maximum aggregate amount payable to son-executive Directors as Directors' fees has been set at \$200,000. per annum. The Constitution provides that non-executive Directors' fees can only change pursuant to a resolution of the Company in general meeting.

The Board is responsible for reviewing and negotiating the compensation arrangements of senior executives and consultants.

INTERNAL MANAGEMENT CONTROLS

The Company's interests are located in both Victoria and New South Wales. The Executive Directors exercise control over Dart's day-to-day operations. The Board also monitors the performance of outside consultants engaged from time to time to complete specific projects and tasks.

IDENTIFYING SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS RISK

The Board regalarly monitors the operational and financial performance of the Company's activities. It monitors and receives advice on areas of operation and financial risk and considers strategies for appropriate risk management. All operational and financial strategies adopted are aimed at improving shareholder value. However, the Directors recognise that mineral exploration is inherently risky.

A general overview of some of the key risks associated with Dart's business and activity in the exploration and mining industry, is provided in Section 4 of this Prospectus.

CONTINUOUS DUCLOSURE

The Company will put in place mechanisms to ensure compliance with continuous disclosure obligations, once listed on ASX. Those mechanisms will be adopted to ensure the gathering, assessment and co-ordination of the disclosures of information on a timely basis and in a balanced manner, and ensure the Company's employees, consultants and advisors understand the obligation to bring material information to the attention of the Company.

AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE

The Company will establish an audit and compliance committee upon completion of the Offer. The Committee's role will be to oversee the integrity of financial reporting, the selection and application of accounting policies, the identification and management of risk, and review of the operation of internal control systems.

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

In accordance with the Constitution and to the extent permitted by law:

  • the Company will indemnify the Directors and officers for any liability fincluding any liability for certain legal costs) to persons other than the Company or a related body corporate that they may incur while acting in the capacity of a Director or officer of the Company, except a liability to the Company or a related body corporate or where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith, dishonesty or specified breaches of law; and
  • the Company may pay insurance premiums in respect of the contract insuring Directors and other officers of the Company against any liability incurred by those Directors or officers in their capacity as Directors or officers of the Company, except in circumstances prohibited by the Corporations Act or otherwise as provided by the Constitution.

The Company has entered into a deed of indemnity, access and insurance with each of the Directors and with the Chief Executive Officer (for further details, see Section 9.10).

RISK FACTORS

THE HESTORIC DART MINE BATTERY STEAM ENGINE - DART RIVER GOLDEELD.

The Compasy is as early stage mineral exploration company with a primary focus on gold and base metal exploration in Victoria and New South Wales. The fature prospects of the Company are dependent on a variety of factors and subject to risks. This Section is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the specific and general risks that may be encountered by Dart in advancing its exploration projects. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safecuards and appropriate systems and actions, but many are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in Shares offered by this Prospectus should be considered speculative.

4.2

EXPLORATION RISK

RISK FACTORS

Mineral exploration is a high risk business with no quarantee of success. Currently there are no JORC-defined mineral resources on the Tenements in which Dart holds an interest. There is no assurance that exploration on any of the exploration tenements, or on any mining tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of a mineral deposit or economically mineable reserves. In the event of a discovery, development of a mine may not prove to be economically viable dae to factors outside the Company's control.

Future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including but not limited to:

  • the failure to defineate economically recoverable ore bodies;
  • geological and geographical conditions;
  • adverse weather conditions or limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns or physical conditions ffor example flood or busbfael:
  • uranticipated operational and technical difficulties:
  • industrial and environmental accidents:
  • changing government regulations; and
  • many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

There are certain risk factors which may affect any exploration, mining and production activities which Dart may wish to andertake in the future including but not limited to:

  • the failure to receive the necessary approvals and consents from all relevant authorities and parties (including from the Minister as referred to in Section 9.8.1 "Tenement Acquisition Agreement");
  • the lack of availability of both suitable plant and equipment (including drilling plant and equipment) and the expertise of consultants and contractors:
  • usexpected delays is completing assays and metallurgical testwork;
  • unexpected shortages or increases in the cost of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment;
  • mechanical failure and breakdowns:
  • unanticipated plant and technical and operational difficulties encountered in extraction and production activities;
  • the inability to accurately predict underground geological conditions.

FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

It is likely that Dart will require further equity or debt (or a combination of both) funding to finance its future activities after completing the expenditure programs described in Sections 1 and 2 over the two year period described. No assurance can be given that Dart will be able to procure that funding in a timely manner on terms acceptable to it. If that additional funding cannot be obtained, the Company may need to reduce the scope of its activities, which may adversely affect its business and its financial performance and condition.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain in good standing title to the Tenements, and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs were to be unsuccessful, this could lead to a diminution in the value of the Tenements, a reduction in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of Tenement interests held.

$4.4$

4.3

TENEMENT TITLE RISK

Exploration licences are granted subject to various conditions including, but not limited to, expenditure conditions, (For further details, see the reports at Sections 7 and 8). Failure to comply with these conditions may expose the licences to forfeiture. All of the licences in which the Company has an interest will be subject to application for renewal from time to time. Renewals are subject to the discretion of the Minister and may include additional or varied work and expenditure commitments and, compulsory relinquishment of areas presently comprising the Company's Tenement interests.

PAGE 37

The imposition of new conditions or the inab@ty to meet those conditions may adversely affect the Company's business and its financial performance and condition. If a licence is not renewed for any reason, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that licence.

4.5

COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

Dart welcomes the opportunity to consult with local communities, share information about Dart's activities with those communities and give them a reasonable opportunity to express their views about those activities. However, any community opposition to the Company's activities may have an adverse effect on those activities, and may result in the Company incurring additional cost and experiencing delay in the timely progression of its projects.

The Company takes very seriously its obligations towards the natural environment in which it operates. In that regard, the Company's projects are subject to various Federal and State laws, regulations and restrictions regarding access to Crown land, work proposed to be undertaken, environmental and conservation matters, and the discharge of hazardous waste and materials. Any failure to observe those laws would lead to the risk of liability on the part of the Cornoany. Whilst Dart's work plans, and exploration and possible mining activities generally, will impact on the environment, the Company intends to conduct and manage its activities in a professional manner that is not only legally required but with environmental sensitivity, in order to minimize damage to the environment and the risk of liability. Investors should note that the tenements in Victoria in which Dart is interested are close to the Victorian Afpine National Park and, as such, the Company may, from time to time, be required to comply with environmental management and approval issues that arise from factors beyond its control.

$46$

TECHNICAL AND MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL

The Company's success depends to a significant extent on retaining its key management personnel. The loss of services of certain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Cornoany's future, and could delay the timely procression of the Company's projects.

The future and success of the Company also depends on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel can be intense. The inability to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel could also have a material adverse effect upon the Company's future.

$4.7$

NATIVE TITLE

Dart's activities within the Tenements could be adversely affected by the existence of native title or were native title claims to be made over those areas. As a consequence, Dart's proposed activities may be delayed and additional costs fincluding the liability for the payment of compensation to traditional landowners) may be incurred. Additionally, the existence and discovery of Aboriginal sites or relics (including those which are known to the Company) may limit or preclude the Company's activities in certain areas. It is therefore possible that, in relation to the Tenements that, there may be areas over which legitimate legal Aboriginal native title rights exist. If such native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to the Tenements (through obtaining consent of any relevant landowner), or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations, may be adversely affected.

48

GOLD PRICE AND EXCHANGE RATE RISK

As the Company's potential earnings may be derived from the sale of gold and base metals, these earnings will be closely related to the price of these commodities. The sale of these commodities may expose the Company to commodity price and exchange risk rates. The international price of gold and base metals is denominated in United States Dollars, which may expose the Company to adverse currency and commodity price fluctuations.

4.9

GENERAL RISKS

There are general risks associated with equity capital markets in Australia and internationally. Dart's activities may be aftered or disrupted by many factors outside the Company's control including, investor sentiment, Australian and international economic conditions, interest rates, monetary and fiscal policy and changes in government legislation or, government intervention. As noted above, the failure to raise equity capital in the future could result in the Company not being able to continue to maintain tengre of the Tenements or complete exploration programs as planned.

DART MINING N.L. - INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST'S REPORT

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The Dart geological team have assembled a highly prospective portfolio of mineral exploration tenements in Victoria and southern New South Wales which are described in this report. The focus of the exploration will be gold, but copper and other base metals will also be targeted. The concepts behind the selection and development of the tenement areas are based on sound geological principles with some innovative aspects also being employed. All the selected areas have been known as gold producing areas, in the past.

A total of approximately 1,700 square kilometres is covered by the three tenements. This is an extremely large area and covers a maltitude of geological environments, mineral prospects and old mining areas.

The proposed exploration programs and budgets for the various tenements have been professionally devised and are realistic and relevant to the targeted mineralisation models.

The Dart geological team have developed the Polygon Vortex Model ("Vortex Model" or "Model") to assist in the selection of prospective mineralised areas and the methodology of exploration to be employed in those areas.

The model has been applied to one of the major features related to mineralisation in south-eastern Australia -The Gilmore Sutare - which extends from north-central New South Wales into north-eastern Victoria. The sature and associated fault splays are associated with many centres of mineralisation including important operating mines in New South Wales such as Cadia, Ridgway, Cowal etc. (Figure 1).

FIGURE 1 THE POLYGON VORTEX MODEL AND GILMORE SUTHRE MINERALISATION ASSOCIATION.

Briefly, the Model concerns the Late Silurian to Early Devonian (Pridolian - 420M years ago) mineralising epoch, a period in which a regime of trans-extensional thin crust tectorics allowed the ingress of deep mineralising fluids into the Gitmore Suture Solay faults acting as a plumbing system in association with intrusive related (porphyry style) Disseminated gold and base metal mineralisation. The various fault splays and lower order fault systems are commonly distributed on a fractal based pattern displaying polygonal boundaries which define areas of dilation, intrusive activity and mineralisation. Such areas of dilation commonly show evidence of mineralisation and early mining activity and are considered to be valid major targets for modern mineral exploration.

Dart's geological team have selected and secured large favourable areas of this system within south-eastern Victoria and southern NSW, which (compared to areas of the Gilmore Suture in NSW) have been relatively neglected in modern times.

The areas selected and acquired as Exploration Eldendes (EL's) are shown in Figure 2. They are:-

  • The Buckland EL4724 which is located to the south and west of Bright in north-eastern Victoria.
  • The Dart E14726 located arousd and south of Corryong in north-eastern Victoria.
  • The Tooma EL6372 located near and around Adelong (Turnbarumba) is south-eastern NSW.

These exploration licences include many productive goldfields, many of which have not received any significant modern evaluation. The historic goldfields and mining centres wholly contained within the licences include the:

  • Buckland Goldfield
  • Mt. Elliott Goldfield Dart Goldfield
  • Zulu and Saltpetre Gap mining centres
  • Survevors/Dimer /Backwong Creek (Upper Indi) alluvial fields
  • Mammoth and Gibbo River zone
  • Teorna / Tumbaramba / Manus / Burra and Tarcutta altuvial fields
  • Quartzville Reefs area

The tenements therefore contain a diverse range of mineralisation styles and target sizes that are highly prospective for modern re-evaluation, and for some prospects, this will be the first activity in some 100 years.

The amount allocated in the Company's budget for exploration on each of the Dart Tenements is considered by AGPL to be appropriate and adequate to carry out the exploration programs as proposed.

EL4724 (BUCKLAND)

INTRODUCTION

E£4724, (Buckland) covers an area of some 352 square kilometres and is located south and west of the township of Bright in north-eastern Victoria (Figures 1, 2 and 3). The EL covers the entire historical Buckland Alkwial Goldfield and many hard rock gold occurrences and old mines.

GENERAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

The general geology is shown in Figure 3. One of the main structural features is the cross terrain south-west trending Towong-Tawonga Fault Splay system corning off the Gilmore Suture (located to the east). This feature appears to give rise to mineralisation foci on local north-westerly trending structures, which commonly host auriferous zones.

Historical research by Dart has identified some 375 individual gold prospects within the EL, with only a few of these being recorded officially in Government publications. A major re-discovery from this research was the Fairley's Prospect. At this prospect (see Figures 3 and 4) gold is hosted in sulphide mineralisation within north-west trending folded and deformed structures in Ordovician sediments and metasediments. The main gold bearing lode contains minor quartz and a few percent sulphide and is surrounded by lower grade disseminated gold mineralisation in the adiacent sediments. This style of gold mineraliSation differs from the plethora of smaller quartz rich gold lodes regionally considered to be associated with a thick compressive crust regime or orogenic gold. Structural features suggest that there is a genetic connection with the Fairley's system to Early Devonian age porphyritic stocks (possibly of the Pridolian mineralisation epoch) and onward along strike (to the north-west) to the Mo-Cu Everton Porphyry centre. The suggestion is that the Fairley's style of mineralisation is connected with the porphyry style mineralisation and distinct from the numerous orogenic style gold bearing veins elsewhere in the Buckland Goldfield.

FIGURE 3.

MINING AND EXPLORATION HISTORY

The alluvial goldfields at Buckland were worked contingously from 1853 to about 1919. There was then a second period of production in the 1930's, involving large scale, backet dredging operations. However gold produced from hard rock, vein style deposits was very minor and such situations seemed insufficient as sources for the large alluvial resources.

The Fairley's lode produced some 6000 tonnes of ore with an average grade of 15 g/t Au from a recorded 1500 tonne portion. The lode was reported to have a width of up to 6.0m and a mined strike length of 90 metres. The number 2 level was reported to have ended work on a 4.6m wide face with grades up to 26 g/t Au. Historical reports indicate that sightly less than hail the gold was contained within sulphides, which made extraction difficult for the early miners.

Dart geologists have completed detailed 3D modelling of the Fairley's target and have identified several key structural trends that are typical of this style of mineralisation. The model is compiled within a regional 3D base model of the wider Buckland Goldfield which aimed to identify additional targets of the Fairley's style of gold mineralisation. To date two additional targets of this style have received preliminary investigations (Great White Star and a possible paratel line of the Kashnash's Group) and are showing highly anomalous gold mineralisation over significant widths and strike lengths.

Recent mapping and sampling at Fairley's by Dart has defined broad zones of mineralisation within stock work. zones and there is also high grade mineralisation (5.6m at 10.6 g/t Au) within the main lode itself as shown on Figure 4. From available data a long section has been prepared for the mine area and is given as Figure 5. This Figure also shows where likely drill hole positions may intersect the projected dip of the lode based on the current 3D model.

FIGURE 4. FAIRLEY'S PROSPECT GEOLOGY AND SAMPLING SUMMARY.

PROSPECTS, POTENTIAL AND PROPOSED EXPLORATION

Exploration activity will be aimed at evaluating the Fairley's lode for both extensions of the high grade (15 g/t Au) lode style mineralisation and the associated disseminated, lower grade (but higher tonnage) mineralisation identified by Dart geologists.

A drilling program is plasned to enable drill holes to penetrate the down-dip and down-plange extensions of the known Fairley's Lode. The projected drill hole pierce points on the long section are shown in Figure 5. It will also be necessary to construct access tracks and drill pads for the program. The number of holes and pierce points will be driven by exploration results and subsequent 3D model updates. Consequently drill hole positions shown in figure 5 are likely to vary as the precise dip and pitch of the mineralisation is not yet known.

FIGURE 5 FAIRLEY'S HISTORIC DATA AND SAMPLING SUMMARY.

In addition, evaluation (by detailed, prospect scale geological mapping, rock chip sampling and etc.) of other known historical mining areas within the EL will be carried out. These areas include: - Kaufmanns and Sampson's (on the same line of lode), Great White Star (near Buckland Junction) and New Year's Gilt.

The budget for the proposed initial two year program is \$1,060,000 which is adequate for the proposed program and to meet minimum expenditure commitments.

EL4726 (MT ELLIOTT AND DART GOLDFIELDS)

INTRODUCTION

EL4726, covers an area of 1220 square kilometres and is located east and south of the township of Corryong in north-eastern Victoria (figures 1 and 6). Access is via several main roads that skirt the edges of the EL, Further access is via gravel and/or dirt roads and tracks, including fire trails, which criss-cross the area.

THE MT ELLIOTT GOLDFIELD

GENERAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

The general geology of the area consists of tightly folded Ordovician metasediments intruded by Silurian granitoids. Mineralisation occurs in quartz veins within the metasediments and granitoids near the intrusive contact over a strike length of some 8.0 km. Gold mineralisation is associated with pyrite and minor arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. Mineralisation is also associated with dykes. The widths of the lodes can vary from 10 cm up to 4.0m.

A number of regional scale and prospect scale features suggest high potential for further resource definition in the Mt Elliot goldfield. On a regional scale there is a large magnetic anomaly that underlies the host rocks of the Mt Elliott Goldfield. This anomaly possibly reflects the presence of an t-type intrusive of Late Silurian to Early Devonian age - within the Pridolian Epoch of mineralisation age at the Mammoth porphyry system (420 Ma). This intrasive is the likely heat source for the hydrothermal solutions which mineralised the Mt Elliott goldfield. It also suggests a genetic connection with the crustal thinning phase and the extensional tectonics regime responsible for the porphyry mineralisation in EL4726 - implying potential for disseminated style gold mineralisation.

It is also important to note that the atterpreted Towong-Tawonga Fault Splay passes through the Tenement. At the intersection of this splay with the North-South oriented Gilmore Suture zone, and in the topographic saddle of the Towong Gap, is the historical workings of the New Cham mine, which is on a fine of workings extending for some 3 km in a north-east direction.

Dart geologists have completed a 3D modelling exercise over the whole Mt Elliott Goldfield leading to the definition of drill targets.

Research has also revealed evidence of a Late Siturian-Early Devonian age dyke swarm in the area, which is genetically related to the extensional phase and crustal thinning. Regionally this is accompanied by intrusive of the Cravensville Volcanic Arc, including mineralised porphyries within the Dart EL. This research has also revealed the presence of copper mineralisation (as disseminations) in dykes near Corryong and the historical Reward Copper .
Mine within the Gilmore Sutare - Cadgewa Fault splay.

FIGURE 6 MT ELLIOTT GOLDFIELD GEOLOGY AND HISTORIC MINE DEVELOPMENT.

MINING AND EXPLORATION HISTORY

Orogenic style auriferous quartz veins were mined in the general area from the 1880's to the early 1900's. Records are incomplete, but it would appear that at least some 83,000 ounces of cold were produced. The Just in Time and Hope line of workings continued over a strike leagth of some 3 kilometres, while the New Chum mine was worked to a depth of 125m and averaged 10 ounces of gold per ton, over its 3 year production period. This is significant production. In addition there were a number of parallel systems to the main lode that were worked by the early miners. All these systems are shown in floure 6.

However as the mises went deeper problems were encoantered with water and increasing sulphide content of the ore, which caused gold extraction problems and required an elevated cut-off grade (likely in excess of 1 oz/ton).

During the peak mining period there were two batteries operating full time with excess ore being transported further to other treatment facilities.

PROSPECTS. POTENTIAL AND PROPOSED EXPLORATION

The sulphidic nature of the primary ore extracted by the early miners was the cause of technical problems with the then available metallurgical techniques. Some waste durnp samples taken by Dart returned up to 15 g/t Au. This gold, in sulphides, was not able to be extracted by the early miners with the then existing technology (via stamp batteries and amalgamation with mercury) and was only recognised as containing significant gold later in the mining history of the field. Modelling has suggested there are significant zones of auriferous material, both down dip and along strike below the old workings. Such situations are to be investigated with a reverse circulation drilling program.

FIGURE 7.

IUST IN TIME LINE - LONGSECTION WITH HISTORIC MINE DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNED DRILL TARGETS.

Initially Dart proposes a three phase drilling program to test a 700m strike section of the Just in Time and Hope line of workings. A long section of the workings showing the general area of proposed drilling is given in Figure 7. The program will test the prospect for the continuity of high historic gold grades over minable widths.

The budget for the proposed initial two year program is \$705,000 for geotogical mapping, first pass drilling and resource definition drilling, and is adequate for the proposed program and to meet minimum expenditure commitments.

THE DART GOLDFIELD

GENERAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

Regionally the Dart area lies within the southern part of the Wagga - Girilambone - Omeo Anticlinoria Zone, (Ordovician metasediments - shales, slates, quartzite's). Silurian volcanics, slates etc. and an overlying Silurian carbonate sequence occur in the west of the area. These sequences have been intruded by various granitoids - some of which are associated with porphyry style copper-gold mineralisation.

it is significant that mineralisation often comprises precious metals in association with reduced (as against oxidized) combinations of base metals including bismuth, tin (including the reduced stannite form), copper, molybdenam and occasionally tungsten in a context of low oxidation or reduced mineralising fluids evidenced by lower levels of magnetite compared to classic porphyries. These reduced, as against oxidized, metalogenic styles are important integral components of Dart's Polygon Vortex Model, which also attempts to explain variation in styles across terrain through palaeogeographical and geological evolution culminating in a distinctive Pridolian Mineralisation Epoch style within the Cravensville Volcanic Arc. Further comments and explanations on the Reduced Intrusive Related Gold ("RIRG") Systems are given in Section 2 of this Prospectus.

Regionally known mineralisation includes the Glen Wills area gold-sulphide quartz lodes and the Tellebung - Mt Wills tin province where mineralisation is associated with numerous small granitoid plutons, in the Greens Creek area comprising part of the greater Dart Goldfield, base metal mineralisation and associated gold occurs in fissure lodes within Ordovician metasediments (in proximity to Dartella Volcanics comprising porphyry intrusive and plugs at Mt. Benambral, Mississippi Valley-type base metal mineralisation occurs along Wombat Creek and the Mata Mitta River valley in the Silurian carbonates. Possible Porphyry-style copper-gold mineralisation occurs in a quartz diorite host within the Banimboola Granodiorite and its north-western contacts with Ordovician metasediments. In the extreme south and just outside the EL the Marnmoth lode (base metals, silver, gold) is associated with a large feldspar porphyry dyke. Silver-gold mineralisation in this area also occurs in hydrothermal breccias, gossanous quartz veins and stock work systems - typically with variable mineral combinations of bismuth-copper-tin-lead-zinc, including molybdenam in some zones, with reduced forms of both bismuth and fin also present as bismuthinite and stannite.

EXPLORATION AND MINING HISTORY

Early mining in the Dart Goldfield area commenced around the 1880's and carried through to the early 1900's. Auriferous quartz vein lodes were mined at the old mining centres such as The Zulu and Saltpetre (Figure 8). There were also sumerous gold-silver-base metal lodes mined in a small way and associated with a dyke swarm in the vicinity of the Glendart Syncline.

DART GEOLOGISTS AT SITE OF 1994 MOUNTAIN VIEW TRIAL PIT.

FIGURE 8. DART GOLDFIELD AND ZULU - SALTPETRE GAP MINING CENTRES - GEOLOGY AND PROSPECT LOCATIONS.

At the Sattpetre area historical reports state that the lodes can be traced for many hundreds of metres. At the Lady Lock mine low-grade ore of around 8.3 g/t Au was mined over widths of some 5.0 metres. Some 1873 tons of the ore was reported to have been extracted in 1898 (Borthwick 1898). Another mine (The Treasury) vielded 493 ounces of gold from 450 tons of cre (an average grade of some 33 g/t Au). No modern evaluation has occurred within the Saltpetre area since the camp was abandoned in the early 1930s.

Modern exploration has included work by Tanganyika Resources N.L. (1970-72) and Border Resources N.L. (1987-90) which focated widespread base metal and gold anomalism within the area. Western Mining Corporation was also active in the area in modern times and identified numerous stream sediment cold/metal anomalies. These anomalies have vet to be followed-ap with further investigations.

The Polmears Stope at the Mountain View Mine (floure 8) was active in 1884 and was again mined in 1994 by Mountain View Resources Pty. Ltd (a company managed by Dart Director, Bernhard Hochwirnmer). This mining activity concentrated on the southern part of the historical Mountain View Lode system, which has an outcrop length of 300m and widths up to 5.5 metres. More recently Dart has completed 10 shallow scout percassion holes to test the gold mineralisation below the 1994 trial mining pit. The results indicated that ore-grade gold mineralisation over widths varying between 2-7 metres occurred over a strike length of 53 metres, Intersected gold grades varied from 1.70 g/t to 23.8 g/t. The mineralization is open ended in strike and depth with surface geochemistry indicating an open 400m x 500m Au - Pb - As soil anomaly. The best intersections were as follows:-

PROSPECTS. POTENTIAL AND PROPOSED EXPLORATION

There is further prospectivity at the Mountain View Lode prospect - both along strike and at depth. A reverse circulation drilling program of some 1000 metres is planned for this area. Encouraging results from the program will open up further possibilities within the Dart Goldfield as the Mountain View system is similar and representative of many nearby mineralised zones known throughout the field.

In addition further detailed surface investigations (geological mapping and rock chip sampling) is planned for the old Zalu and Saltpetre Creek areas - recent sampling by Dart geologists at the Zalu Lode returned a grade of 19 g/t Au, confirming recorded historical grades. The Zulu and Saltpetre Creek Goldfields contain numerous individual old mines and workings. Numerous other lodes and old mining areas known to be present will be similarly investigated.

The budget for the proposed initial two year program is \$330,000 which is adequate for the proposed program and to meet minimum expenditure commitments.

PORPHYRY STYLE TARGETS

The synthesis of geological, geophysical and other data and the development of Dart's Polygon Vortex Model has led to the definition of RIRG precious-base metal porphyry style targets within EL 4726. Strong groups of structures (Figures 8 and 11) have defined mineralisation corridors such as Zulu, Dinner Creek, Buckwong Creek, Towong-Tawonga, Mammoth and Indi.

The Polygon Vortex Model predicts that major mineralising activity will occur where corridors intersect. Such areas have been identified as follows and are shown on Figure 11.

FIGURE 11. THE MT MORGAN PORPHYRY TARGET - NORTHERN PORPHYRY FIELD CLUSTER.

The Northern Porphyry Field

This is defined by the intersection of the Zulu and Empress Corridors and encompasses the Mt Morgan, Unicorn and Gentle Annie porphyry prospects.

Previous explorers located widespread base metal soil acomalism over many square kilometres in this area, with the higher values concentrated in the corridor intersection region as predicted by the model.

The Empress corridor crosses the axis of the north-south Dart Corridor and associated Glendart Synclinal axis (between the Mountain View and Dart gold mines). The Glendart synclinal axis lies on strike with the Mammoth .
Porphyry system to the south.

At the Mt Morgan and Mt Unicom prospects the intrasive show silicic, sericite and commonly ovritic alteration manifestations. There are also abundant mascovite-silica-hematite occurrences similar to that occurring in the bericheral sediments and porphyries at Mammoth.

The porphyry intrasive at Mt. Morgan and Mt. Unicom are of small diameter (<1.2km) and have well developed chilled margins. Wall rocks to the porphyries exhibit fracturing and silicification (crackle breccia) with minor pyritic alteration assemblages and some intensive gossanous zones at the surface. Stream, soil and rock chip base metal assay results, to several thousand ppm, have been recorded from these areas by previous explorers.

MAMMOTH-DONOVAN HILL PORPHYRY SYSTEM

This is defined by intersections of the Dart, Zulu and Mammoth corridors and also diagonal intersecting elements of the Saltpetre Gap Fault Zone. At Donovan Hill Dart geologists have interpreted a concealed porphyry plug Iying beneath a sliver of the Saltpetre Gap Fault thrust zone defined by geophysical and geochemical anomalies.

This subtle Donovan Hill ring or doughnat anomaly zone of partially coincident geochemical-magnetic anomalism is formed on intersecting geophysically interpreted faults in the vicinity of the Saltpetre Gap Thrust, Within the ring anomaly Cu, Pb, and Zn values can range up to 1600 ppm, and Sn can exceed 35 ppm. This is interpreted as distal or leakage anomalism from a porphyry plug at depth, which represents an excellent drill target.

Some \$826,000 over two years is budgeted to test all the porphyry targets defined to date inclusive of prospect scale geological and alteration mapping, aerial photo interpretation and geophysical programs culminating in a stratigraphic drill hole at each of the key prospects and is adequate for the proposed program and to meet minimum expenditure commitments.

EL 6172 (TOOMA - N.S.W.)

INTRODUCTION

EL 6172 of approximately 129 square kitometres is located in the vicinity of the towns of Tooma and Tumbarumba in south-east New South Wales, and close to the Victorian border. Access is reasonable with formed roads and farm tracks. The tenement, which consists of five separate sections, stretches over a north-south distance of some 50 kilometres, and lies west of the Gilmore Suture (Figure 12).

FIGURE 12.

TOOMA EL6172 - TENEMENT AND PROSPECT LOCATIONS.

GENERAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

The Tooma EL mostly consists of various granitoids which have intraded the Lower Palaeozoic sequence. There are also patches of Tertiary basalt and some extensive alluvial development - encompassing most of the Tumbarumba Goldfield. Structural regimes are imposed on the area from fault splays coming off the nearby Gilmore Suture.

Numeroas alluvial gold fields are known in the area and were worked extensively from at least 1870.

MINING AND EXPLORATION HISTORY

Alluvial gold was extensively worked in a namber of regions from as early as 1855 and continued intermittently through to 1954. Originally the areas were worked by traditional methods (panning and cradiing), then stuicing operations began which were able to process very large amounts of material. Later there were large dredging operations initiated in some areas and these operated from about 1889 to 1918, with the main period of operations being from 1900 to 1908.

Areas that were subject to alluvial operations include Tumbarumba, Manus Creek, Tooma, Burra Creek, Tarcutta Creek and Paddy River (Figure 12). There were also some major deep lead areas that were worked. These areas asaaliy had a basattic cap and had to be worked from shafts and/or tunnelling.

The amount of gold produced from the historic alluvial operations is estimated to account for about three quarters of the field's total recorded production of 319,228 cances. Grades worked were quite variable (from 0.2 g/m3 to perhaps 3.0 c/m3) and profitable workings were also largely defined by other factors - such as depth of overburden. water inflow, ease of extraction/washing etc. Interestingly also is the presence of significant cassiterite (tin mineral) in the concentrates of some mining areas (e.g. Burra). Also at Tooma some rubies, diamonds, sapphires and emeralds were found in the "wash"

Hard rock mising for gold was carried out from about 1885 in the Quartzville Reefs area in the sorth-east of the EL. Several ferruginous and vuggy gaartz veins were worked with grades varying from 3 to 31 g/t Au (Willis 1969). An historical reference to mining along a dyke in decomposed granite has also been noted in this area. Total gold recovered from the area was quite small. Tungsten has also been reported in this area in association with intrusive dykes.

Modern exploration has included the activities of Great Northern Mining N.L. (1994-96) who explored the Toomaalluvial prospect area with the drilling of 40 Caldwell holes. They estimated a multi-million cubic metre resource at fikely economic grades (~0.2 g/cubic metre). This is a historical statement and does not imply a JORC compliant resource estimate. Great Northern also reported shallow overburden and significant recoveries of sapphire. The resource area investigated is open-ended allowing for the possibility of further resources to be identified.

PROSPECTS. POTENTIAL AND PROPOSED EXPLORATION

The Tooma area is mostly known for its alluvial gold workings and there has been very little work directed at hard rock gold possibilities. Large areas of alluvial ground were left unmined due to the low gradients of the deposits which hampered the removal of overburden via the sluicing techniques then employed.

Dart will consider the possibilities of the known alluvial areas - both worked and unworked, but will also investigate the hard rock gold possibilities by utilizing the Vortex Model. This model will quide the thrust of the exploration within the Tooma EL. The tenement lies within proximity of an important section along the southern end of the Gilmore Suture zone, where it begins its major flexure into Victoria (east of the tenement), where it continges as the indi Fagit and associated splays.

Consequently the targets within the EL will be RIRG systems. The Mammoth porphyry/epithermal system in the Dart Et 4726 could be an example of the possibilities within the EL, It is noted that the Quartzville goldfield area (within EL 6172) occupies one of the major north-north-east trending splays extending from the Mammoth porphyry system in Victoria (to the south). This is within the Zulu Mineralisation Corridor (Figure 8). Exploration will be initially directed towards regional analyses, concentrating on identifying tensional zones likely to host mineralisation as indicated by the Vortex Model. The main target will be a large tonnage, gold dominant, porphyry style deposit.

Within this context Dart will also investigate the possibilities that the source of the Tumbaramba alluvial gold can be traced back to Early Devonian intrusive similar to those known at Quartzville and Manus Creek.

Areas defined as prospective from the Vortex Model can be followed up with classic exploration techniques - geochemical surveys foutside of worked altuvial gold areast, magnetic surveys, detailed geological mapping, gravity surveys, remote seasing and etc.

The budget for the proposed initial two year program is \$172,000 and is adequate for the proposed program and to meet minimum expenditure commitments.

APPENDIX A

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of Compliance

The financial information complies with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The financial information is presented in an abbreviated form so far as it does not include all of the disclosures required by AIFRS applicable to an annual financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis of Preparation

The financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available for sale investments, if any, which have been measured at fair value.

The company was incorporated on 26 May 2006. The financial information is therefore presented for the period from the date of incorporation to 30 June 2006 taking into account the pro forma adjustments detailed in Note 2.

The financial information is presented in Australian dollars.

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial information.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial information has been prepared by combining the financial statements of all of the entities that comprise the Consolidated Entity, being the company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial information.

On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired exceed the cost of acquisition, the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition.

The consolidated financial information includes the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the company obtains control and until such time as the company ceases to control such entity.

In preparing the consolidated financial information, all inter-company balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising from the Consolidated Entity are eliminated in full.

(b) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are:

Share-based payment transactions

The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees and suppliers by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date they are granted.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash on hand and in banks and short term deposits are stated at nominal value.

(d) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The Consolidated Entity applies AASB 6 Exploration For and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not vet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against operating results in the vear is which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regalar review is updertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

Costs of site restoration are recognised in full at present value as a non current liability and an equivalent amount capitalised as part of the cost of the asset when an obligation arises to decommission or restore a site to a certain condition after abandonment as a result of bringing the assets to their present location. The capitalised cost is amortised over the life of the project and the provision is accreted periodically as the discounting of the liability unwinds. The unwinding of the discount is recorded as an interest expense. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs are determined using estimates of fature costs, carrent legal requirements and technology.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs are determined on the basis that restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning a site.

(e) Income tax

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is anpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sofficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the Consolidated Entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

De la Ma

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

(f) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis. Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the Consolidated Entity are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments. and disclosed as plant and equipment under lease. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised.

(g) Contributed Equity

Issued and paid ap capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction on the share proceeds received.

2. Actual and Proposed Transactions used in Compiling the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared consistently with the accounting policies detailed in Note 1.

The parpose of the pro forma consolidated balance sheet is to incorporate the effect of the following actual and proposed events subsequent to balance date to 30 June 2006 as if they had occurred on that date:

Dear Sirs

LAWYERS' REPORT ON MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND VICTORIAN TENEMENTS

This Report is prepared for inclusion in a Prospectus to be dated on or about 34 March 2007 ("Prospectus") and issued by Dart Mining NL ACN 119 904 880 ("Dart" or the "Company").

SCOPE

The Report relates to both the Summary of Material Contracts set out in Section 9.8 of this Prospectus and, the two Exploration Licences granted in Victoria as described in the Schedule to this Report, namely, Exploration Licence 4724 ("E£4724") and Exploration Licence 4726 ("E£4726"), in this Report, we refer to both of those Exploration Licences as the "Victorian Tenements". Both of the Victorian Tenements have been granted ander the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 (Vic).

1. MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Dart has provided as with a copy of the material contracts described in the summary set out in Section 9.8 of this Prospectus. Dart instructs us that those contracts are the only contracts material to this Prospectus fincluding the Victorias Tenements).

Relevantly for this Report, on 31 July 2006 Dart entered into an agreement ("Tenement Acquisition Agreement") to acquire two current Victorian exploration licences, namely, EL4724 (Buckland) and EL4726 (Dart), both of which are held by Directors of Dart, namely, Dean G Turnbull, Bernhard Hochwimmer and Stephen G Poke (collectively, "holders"), subject to certain conditions precedent being satisfied (see Section 9.8.1 of this Prospectus for further details).

On completion of the Tenement Acquisition Agreement (including satisfaction of the conditions precedent referred to in that agreement) Dart will acquire the holders' rights, title and interest in E£4724 and E£4726.

Based on our review, we are of the opinion that the description of those contracts in the Summary of Material Contracts does not contain any statement or matter that is false in a material particular or is materially misleading in the form and context in which it appears.

2. VICTORIAN TENEMENTS - PRELIMINARY

To prepare our Report, we had arranged and relied on searches conducted:

  • . on the Victorian Tenements, from the register maintained by the Department of Primary industries ("DPI") under the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 (Vic)("MRSDA");
  • on the Register and Schedale of Native Title Claims in particular, maintained by the Victorian division of the National Native Title Tribunal ("NNTT");
  • . of the Heritage Register and Inventory held and maintained by Heritage Victoria to ascertain whether or not there are known heritage sites located within the Victorian Tenements; and
  • of the register maintained by Aboriginal Affairs Victoria (a Division of the Department for Victorian Communities) to ascertain whether the Victorian Tenements contain any land which contains Aboriginal archaeological relics.

in preparing our Report, we make the following assumptions and qualifications:

  • . whilst we assume that the records maintained by various authorities referred to above are accurate, complete and up-to-date that may not be the case;
  • we assume the Victorian Tenements have been validly granted, subject to their ability to validly affect native title, which is discussed below:

3. SUMMARY OPINION - VICTORIAN TENEMENTS

Based on our searches and engairies, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications described in this Report. the Victorian Tenements' particulars described in the Schedule to this Report are accurate as at 10 October 2006. being the date on which the searches of the Victorian Tenements were conducted at DPI.

Further, the searches referred to above reveal that:

  • . neither E£4724 nor E£4726 are the subject of a registered native title claim (but that does not preclude the existence of native title and we refer to our comments below):
  • the register maintained by Heritage Victoria records non-Aboriginal archaeological sites within the areas of both EL4724 and EL4726:
  • the register maintained by Aboriginal Affairs Victoria records Aboriginal archaeological relics within the areas of both EL4724 and EL4726.

On the basis of our searches, the Victorian Tepements are current and in good standing.

The above summary should be read in the context of this Report read in its entirety.

EXPLORATION LICENCES - AN OVERVIEW

The holder of an Exploration Licence ("EL") granted under the MRSDA obtains the right, in accordance with the conditions of the Exploration Licence, to carry out exploration on the fand covered by the licence. Exploration is defined in the MRSDA to mean exploration for minerals and includes; conducting geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys; drilling; taking samples for the purposes of chemical or other analysis; extracting minerals from land, other than for the purpose of producing them commercially; and anything else (except mining) that is specified in the licence. An EL may be granted over Crown or private land.

The MRSDA provides that Exploration Licences may be issued and the Minister may specify on the licence that it is to remain current for a period of ap to five years from the date on which it is registered, and subject to the discretion of the Minister, for a further period of up to 5 years.

An application to renew an Exploration Licence must be made by the licensee before it expires. Renewals of an Exploration Licence are usually granted for a period of two to three years.

THE VICTORIAN TENEMENTS

As noted above, the two Victorian Tenements in respect of which Dart has entered into the Tenement Acquisition Agreement are:

  • (a) Exploration Licence 4724; and
  • (b) Exploration Licence 4726.

Details of E£4724 and EL4726 are set out in the Schedule to this Report.

EL4724 (BUCKLAND)

EL4724 was granted on 31 October 2003 and expires on 30 October 2008 and was granted in respect of gold, silver, platingm, antimony, and base metals (copper, lead, zinc). DPI holds a rehabilitation bond of \$6,000.00 with respect to this Exploration Licence. EL4724 has been granted over Crown land as well as private land, road and road reserves

Mr Dean G Turnbull, Mr Bernhard Hochwimmer and Mr Stephen G Poke are recorded as the registered holders of F: 4724

On engairy made on 25 October 2006 and on 28 February 2007, an officer of DPI has advised us that DPI is satisfied with the holders' reports and expenditure to date, and considers this tenement to be current and in good standing.

RESOURCESLAW INTERNATIONAL

EL4726 (DART)

EL4726 was cranted on 33 October 2003 and expires on 30 October 2008 and was granted in respect of gold, silver, platinum, base metals (copper, lead, zinc) and antimony. DPI bolds a rehabilitation bond of \$5,000.00 with respect to Bis Exploration Licence. EL4726 has been granted over Crown land, as well as private land, road and road reserves. Mr Dean G Turnbull, Mr Bernhard Hochwimmer and Mr Stephen G Poke are recorded as the registered holders of £L4726.

On enquiry made on 25 October 2006 and 28 February 2007, an officer of DPI has advised us that DPI is satisfied with the holders' reports and expenditure to date, and considers this tenement to be current and in cood standing.

CONDITIONS

Both Exploration Licences referred to above contain the following conditions:

  • only "low impact exploration" work may be undertaken in the licensed area until the licence has an approved work plan (the term "low impact exploration" is defined in the MRSDA):
  • a children on the aceased area must be limited to those specified in the MRSDA and the licence.
  • a minimam ansual exploration expenditure requirement (see the Schedule to this Report for further details);
  • an obligation to report to DPI upon the discovery of minerals potentially capable of production in commercial quantities, together with an annual reporting date of 30 Jane.

Both ELs also contain a "Schedule of Conditions" relating to land management, access, heritage, and exploration techniques.

4. NATIVE TITLE - OVERVIEW

We have caused to be conducted on 12 September 2006 a search of the databases maintained by the Victorian division of NNTT, namely. Schedule of Applications, Register of Native Title Claims, National Native Titles Register, Recister of indicenous Land Use Agreements and Notified Indigenous Land Use Agreements.

As at the date of the above search, no relevant entries on the above databases were recorded, or in other words, no native title claims affecting the Victorian Tegements have been lodged and no pative title determinations have been made.

it is important to note that, whilst the search of the Victorian Tenements does not disclose the existence of native title or a claim of native title, that does not mean native title does not exist in relation to these tenements. On the basis of the information in our possession, it is not possible to determine the extent, if any, to which native title may affect the Victorian Tenements. In that regard, if any native title claim is made in relation to the areas the subject of the Victorian Tenements, access to carry out activities going beyond those authorised by the present ELs could potentially be affected, and negotiating and settling claims would likely result in costs being incarred by the licence holder(s).

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cthlas amended)("NTA") is the key legislation to which holders of an exploration for mining) tenement must have regard. In summary, the NTA particularly:

  • permits the validation by a State of "past acts" (for example, titles invalidly granted due to the existence of native title prior to 1 January 1994) and "intermediate period acts" (for example, titles invalidly granted due to the existence of native title, during the period 1 January 1994 to 23 December 1996):
  • protects native title in the context of "future acts" (including, for example, the grant of titles on or after 1 January 3994) and provides for the effects those fature dealings would have on native title;
  • prescribes a threshold test for the registration of native title claims;
  • establishes a mechanism for determining claims to native title:
  • . sets out the circumstances where native title is validly extinguished (for example, by the existence of freehold land or the grant of "exclusive possession" (easehold interests);
  • . establishes for native title claimants, a "right to negotiate" where native title exists, and prescribes procedures for claiming compensation on the exanguishment or impairment of native title;
  • establishes a registration system for Indigenous Land Lise Agreements.

Native title claimants apply to the Federal Court, which then refers the claim to the Native Title Registrar, who determines whether the claim is acceptable for registration, by applying the test set out in the NTA, broadly, that some or all of the native title rights alleged by the applicants may exist. Importantly, the registration of a native title claim (which is not of itself a determination that native title exists) gives rise to a "right to negotiate" as well as other statutory rights. The "right to negotiate" relates to negotiation about the impact of any proposed act on the enjoyment of the registered native title rights.

VICTORIAN NATIVE TITLE LEGISLATION

In Victoria, the Land Titles Validation Act 1994 (Vic) validates "past acts" as defined in the Native Title Act 1983 (Cth) attributable to the State of Victoria. That Act also confirms the past extinguishment of native title by certain valid or validated Acts.

CO-EXISTENCE OF NATIVE TITLE INTERESTS

Native title interests recognised under the legislation referred to above may co-exist with other titles to the extent that the two sets of rights are not inconsistent. Any determination of native title must state whether the native title is exclusive or not, and if not, what other interests co-exist with it. A determination of native title is made by the Federal Court either by consent, after mediation, or after a trial. Contested native title hearings may be lengthy and expensive. Claimants must establish that they have a social system that is regulated by traditional laws and customs, and that those laws and customs have persisted since colonisation: that they have a connection to the land subject to claim by those laws and customs, and that the rights claimed are capable of being recognised in Australian law. The High Court in Yorta Yorta Peoples v Victoria has described this as a difficult standard to satisfy.

In mediation, native title claimants must persuade the State Government that they have maintained their traditional relationship with the land in question. In the case of either a consent determination or litigated determination, native title rights cannot interfere with the exercise of rights validly granted by the State.

EXTINGUISHMENT OF NATIVE TITLE

The NTA also sets out the circumstances in which native title is extinguished, and in particular by:

  • the valid grast of freehold land:
  • the grast of an exclusive possessory lease:
  • prescribed interests giving or granting exclusive possession.

Apart from the searches referred to in section 2 of this Report, we have not undertaken (and nor, we are advised, has Dart undertaken) the considerable ethnographic, historical, (egal, or apthropological research that would be required to ascertain whether any person or group may be able to assert the traditional connection necessary to demonstrate that native title exists over the Victorian Tenements or whether claims of native title in respect of Victorian Tenements would be possible in the fature, or alternatively, whether native title has been extinquished.

Accordingly, we consider it would be pradent for Dart not to assume that native title has been extinguished in respect of the areas contained within the Victorian Tenements, as the grant of the present Exploration Licences would for their respective terms not extinguish native title, but rather would give them precedence to the extent of any inconsistency. It is not possible to say whether past State grants over the land have had the effect of validly extinguishing or impairing native title, but once native title has been extinguished, in whole or in part, that extinguishment is permanent. Further valid requiation of the land by the State prior to 1975 may have had the effect of extinguishing. asy exclusive native title right in respect of the fand.

Further, if native title exists, the "right to negotiate" provisions of the NTA would apply if it were proposed in due course to seek to convert the Victorian Tenements to mining licences, where those tenements include any crown lands where native title has been validly claimed or exists. The grant of a mining licence would be a "fature act" contemplated by the NTA if it affected or impaired native title to any greater extent than had validly occurred in the past, in that regard, under the "right to negotiate" a tenement holder (called a "grantee party") must negotiate in good faith with registered native title claimants or native title holders to reach agreement on the conditions subject to which exploration may proceed. The grantee party is not obliged to negotiate in good faith in respect of matters not connected with the effect of the exploration activities on registered native title rights and interests. The parties may agree on compensation for impairment of native title but such compensation is not payable until a determination of native title is made in favour of the native title party. If the parties cannot reach agreement, the NNTT may arbitrate the question of whether exploration should go ahead or not. The NNTT is required to consider the effect of the proposed future act on the claimant's enjoyment of native title rights, including their way of life, culture, and traditions, their interests and wishes, any rights to access the area affected by the proposed grant, as well as the broader economic significance of the proposed act, the public interest in doing it, and existing use of the land by non-native title holders (section 39, NTA). In recent decisions of the NNTT (Thorpe (2003) NNTTA 66 and Victorian Gold Mines (2002) 170 FLR 1) the existing Victorian regime for protection of cultural heritage and the environment has been regarded as a significant factor in favour of granting authorisation to an act without the imposition of extensive conditions specifically relevant to protection of the claimed native title rights and interests.

The "right to negotiate" will not apply to future acts specifically exempted from the "right to negotiate" by an indigenous Land Use Agreement registered under the NTA. These agreements may be made in respect of native title with any person who claims to hold native title in the area, whether native title has been determined by the Federal Court or not.

5. VICTORIAN HERITAGE LEGISLATION

Land within the Victorian Tenements contains both non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal heritage.

As noted above, the Heritage Register maintained by Heritage Victoria records non-Aboriginal archaeological sites within the areas of both EL4724 and EL4726. The non-Aboriginal archeological sites recorded in respect of the Victorian Tenements are protected by the Heritage Act 1995 (Vic) which Act, in effect, provides that any person who excavates or damages an archaeological site without permission from Heritage Victoria faces penalties under that Act. Section 45 of the MRSDA requires that the holder of an exploration or mining licence must not do any work within 100 metres laterally of, or within 100 metres below, an archaeological site on the Heritage Inventory established under the Heritage Act 1995 (Vic) or a place or object included in the Heritage Register ander that Act.

The register maintained by Aboriginal Affairs Victoria records Aboriginal archaeological relics within the areas of both EL4724 and EL4726. Aboriginal archaeological relics are registered under the Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Preservation Act 1972 (Vic). Section 45 of the MRSDA requires that the holder of an exploration or mining licence must not do any work within 300 metres laterally, or within 100 metres below:

  • an archaeological area as defined by the Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Preservation Act 1972; or
  • an archaeological relic (as defined by that Act) redistered under the Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Preservation Act 1972.

A ficensee may apply to the Executive Director. Aboriginal Affairs Victoria for consent to do work within these boundaries.

it is important to note that the summary reports produced from the registers' database lists recorded sites or relics only, and does not list undiscovered and/or urrecorded sites or relics. In this respect, the registers' reports are not fully comprehensive.

COMMONWEALTH ABORIGINAL HERITAGE LEGISLATION

Aboriginal sites within Victoria are also protected by Commonwealth legislation, and in particular the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth), which provides for the preservation of areas and objects that are of particular significance to Aborigines in accordance with Aboriginal tradition. Under the Act, the Minister may make a declaration for the protection and preservation of an area of Aboriginal significance.

It should be noted that, in Victoria, the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 has been enacted, but not yet proclaimed. That Act, when it comes into force, would enable the Victorian Government to administer Aboriginal heritage protection in Victoria directly through its own legislation, and would repeal the Archaeological and Aboriginal Relics Preservation Act 1972. The Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 will come into operation at the same time as Schedule 2 to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984 (Cth), but the date on which that will occur is not, at the date of this Report, able to be ascertained. If Schedule 2 is not proclaimed before 7 December 2007 it will automatically be repealed on that day: section 2(1) of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Amendment Act 2006 (Cth).

We have not as part of this Report, in addition to our enquiries referred to above, undertaken any enquiries as to whether or not non-Aboriginal or Aboriginal sites or relics other than those referred to on the registers, exist within the areas comprised in the Victorian Tenements. In any event, it would be necessary for Dart to ensure that it does not interfere with any non-Aboriginal archaeofogical sites or Aboriginal sites, except in accordance with the legislation referred to above.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL - AREA WITH REMOTE & NATURAL ATTRIBUTES (EL4724)

Whilst our searches at DPI have not revealed any details, we are instructed by Dart that part of the boundary of EL4724 (Buckland) is adjacent to an "Area with Remote and Natural Attributes" ("ARNA"), and is also described as the "Yarrarabula Remote and Natural Area-LCC Wilderness B14". The ARNA is not a "Remote and Natural Area" ("RNA") as contemplated by section 21B and described in Schedule Six of the National Parks Act 1975 Wicl("NPA") or a wilderness area, but rather, the ARNA is an area, identified by the Land Conservation Council in its report "Wilderness Special Investigation-Final Recommendations" (November 1991), as having "remote and natural attributes". That Council recommended that area B14 (amongst other areas) be managed under the NPA. That recommendation was approved by the Governor in Council by instrument dated 12 May 1992.

in the present case, the Company's "Fairley's prospect", described in Section 2.3 of this Prospectus, is adjacent to the ARNA.

Under the NPA, the Department of Sustainability and Environment ("DSE") has the responsibility, amongst other things, to manage national parks and state parks. Whilst the ARNA is not specifically referred to in the NPA as a national park or a state park (and it is not an RNA under the NPA) the DSE manages the area to seek to ensure the ARNA's remote and natural values are protected, consistent with the objects of the NPA.

Our enguiries within the DSE suggest that in order for the Corngany's work glan in respect of Fairley's prospect to be considered for approval (in relation to EL4724) in accordance with the MRSDA, it will likely be necessary for Dart to agree to observe certain conditions which will likely be imposed by DPI (in consultation with, and as requested by, DSE) in relation to the protection, preservation and rehabilitation of that part of the ARNA which is in proximity to the Fairley's prospect. Those requirements would be in addition to any other obligations the holder(s) of the Victorian Tenements may have in relation to the management, protection and land within the areas of those tenements.

As to work plans generally, the MRSDA also sets out the process which must be observed in relation to the approval of a work plan. In particular, the holder(s) of an Exploration Licence must not carry out any work (other than low impact exploration) on the land covered by the licence unless, amongst other things, the licence has an approved work plan. As part of that, a work plan will need to have regard to any environmental considerations and conditions imposed, for it to be capable of being approved. It is important to note that a work plan in respect of E14724 (Buckland) will not be approved under the MRSDA unless Dart were to agree, as part of that work plan, to observe the requirements which will likely be sought to be imposed by DSE in respect of the relevant part of the ARNA, as noted above.

In that regard, Dart has advised us that its work plan in relation to the Fairley's prospect (within EL4724) has on 22 December 2006 been submitted to DPI, but has not yet been approved. Our enquiries with DPI suggest that any approval of that work plan under the MRSDA would take some months. DPI has made some preliminary observations on that work plan. We are also advised that DSF has made preliminary comments on Dart's proposed work plan for the Fairley's prospect, particularly concerning yegetation issues, with the next step being to discuss these with the Company.

From our searches in relation to E£4726 (Dart), we note that Dart's work plan was approved on 14 July 2005 and is noted on the recister at DPI. It is described on that recister as "Dart Project Work Plan" dated December 2004. in respect of "trenching and rc drilling".

RESTRICTED CROWN LAND

Our searches at DPI reveals that both of the Victorian Tenements include "restricted Crown Land". In that regard, the MRSDA requires that the holder of an EL (or mining licence) who proposes to do work under the EL on "restricted Crown land", must obtain appropriate Ministerial consent.

We are instructed by Dart that it has no present intention to do work on or near the areas designated as "restricted Crown land," within the Victorian Tepements

DART MINING NI INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION TITLES REPORT

INTRODUCTION $\mathbf{1}$ .

Scope Of Instructions $1.1$

The following report has been prepared independently and in compliance with the Valmin Code.

Hetherington Exploration and Mining Title Services Pty Limited ("HEMTS") has been instructed by Dart Mining NE the Company") to conduct searches of and outline the rights conferred by Exploration Licence No 6172 ("EL 6172").

$1.2$ Qualifications

Russell Hetherington has approximately thirty-one years experience in exploration and mining tenement management across Australia. Russell Hetherington is a member of the Australian Mining and Petroleum Law Association and a member of the Business Law Section of the Law Council of Aastralia.

$1.3$ Independence

HEMTS is independent from the Company and Dart Resources Pty Ltd within the meaning of the Valmin Code. HEMTS's costs of preparing this report have been calculated at its normal charge out rate.

COMMENTARY ON EXPLORATION LICENCE NO 6172 $\mathcal{P}$

The following information has been obtained from the New South Wales Department of Primary industries - Mineral Resources ("the DP?-MR"), the National Native Title Tribunal and the New South Wales State Heritage Inventory.

Much of the information obtained from the DPI-MR has been so obtained via the DPI-MR's TAS database. This report is subject to the proviso that the TAS database may contain errors and is not reliable. Where possible, the information in TAS has been cross checked with other available information, such as the Exploration Licence instrument, electronic maps, etc.

Basic details of EL 6172 are set out in the attached schedule ("the Schedule").

$2.1$ General

EL 6172 has been granted to Dart Resources Pty Ltd in respect to Group 1 minerals, which are metallic minerals such as gold, silver, copper, etc. EL 6172 also applies to Group 6 minerals, which are corundum, diamond, ruby and sapphire.

Exclusions $2.2$

The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 ("the NPW Act") provides that the Mining Act 1992 does not apply to or in respect of lands within a National Park, historic site, nature reserve. Aboriginal area, regional park or karst conservation reserve unless the tenement (granted under the Mining Act 1992) existed prior to the reservation of the land as a National Park, historic site, nature reserve, Aboriginal area, regional park or karst conservation reserve.

The current Exploration Licence instrument in respect to EL 6172 excludes land vested in the Commonwealth of Australia and any land subject to a National Park, regional park, historic site, nature reserve, karst conservation reserve or Aboriginal area.

$[0.69565606] \label{eq:36} \begin{minipage}{0.99\textwidth} \begin{tabular}{c} \multicolumn{2}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \multicolumn{2}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \multicolumn{2}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \multicolumn{2}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{c}{\textbf{5.68\textwidth}} \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{c}{\$ finak bedangstiensloen an

It should be noted that the exclusion described in the NPW Act is different to that described in the Exploration Licence instrument. The NPW Act only excludes National Parks, etc declared before the date of grant of EL 6172. The date of declaration of National Parks, etc is not specified in the Exploration Licence instrument, that is, the excluded areas could be those National Parks, etc which were declared at the date of grant of EL 6172, the date of the last renewal or some other date. This is a matter which has not vet been determined by the DPI-MR.

There are no existing National Parks or nature reserves within the area subject to EL 6172.

Whilst this company has not been instructed to undertake an investigation into whether there is any land vested in the Commonwealth of Australia, historic site, nature reserve, regional reserve, karst conservation reserve or Aboriginal area, it is considered aniikely that there are large areas of such land within EL 6172.

$2.3$ Other Titles and Applications

There are no other titles or applications applying to the same cround as that subject to EL 6172.

$2.4$ Encumbrances

There are no eacumbrances registered against EL 6172.

$25$ State Forasts

Approximately 25 per cent of EL 6172 is subject to the Bago and Mannus State Forests.

State Forests are not excluded from Exploration Licences, but exploration activities within State Forests are subject to some specific requirements.

Forests New South Wales is a landholder for the purposes of the Mining Act 1992, it is therefore necessary to enter into an access agreement with Forests New South Wales before commencing prospecting in a State Forest (Section 140 Mining Act 1992).

State Forests are exempted areas for the purposes of Section 30 of the Mirang Act 1992. This provision requires the consent of the Minister for Mineral Resources before carrying out exploration within exempted areas. In respect to exploration within State Forests, such consent would entail environmental assessment of the proposed exploration by the DPI-MR. It would also be expected that such consent would be granted only in consultation with Forests New South Wales and subject to the terms of an access agreement reached with Forests New South Wales.

$2.6$ Exploration Licence Conditions

The conditions attached to EL 6372 relate to environmental management of exploration, drilling requirements, reporting requirements, expenditure commitments, clearing of vegetation, rehabilitation of disturbed land and lodgernent of security deposits.

EL 6172 also contains a condition relating to Native Title (see Section 2.9 below).

2.7 Expenditure And Reporting Requirements

Compliance with the expenditure and reporting requirements of EL 6172 is important because those matters will be considered by the DPI-MR when determining whether or not to renew that Exploration Licence, and if so, whether to renew the Exploration Licence in full, or to regaire a 50 per cent reduction of the Exploration Licence area apon renewat.

The DPI-MR advises that all expenditure and reporting regulrements have been compiled with by Dart Resources Pty £td.

The current annual expenditure commitment for EL 6172 is noted in the Schedule.

$2R$ Access And Compensation

It is necessary to enter into an access agreement with any landholders prior to carrying out exploration on land which is owned or occupied (Section 140 Mining Act 1992). Any landholder is entitled to compensation for all compensable loss caused to such land by exploration (Section 263 Mining Act 1992), in the event that no agreement can be reached with landholders, the matter can be referred to arbitration, and if not resolved, to the Mining Warden for determination.

It is necessary for the holder of an Exploration Licence to obtain the prior written consent of the owner of any dwelling house, garden or improvement before carrying out exploration within 200 metres of the relevant dwelling house, within 50 metres of the relevant carden or on the land subject to the relevant improvement (Section 31 Mining Act 1992).

$2.9$ Native Title

Approximately 95 per cent of EL 6172 is subject to the Tranut Brungle Indigenous Land Use Agreement ("the ILUA"). The parties to the ILLIA are Adelong Consolidated Gold Mines Ltd. the applicants on behalf of the Walgalu People and the applicants on behalf of the Wiradian People. The ILLA will not directly affect exploration persuant to EL 6172.

Less than one per cent of EL 6172 is subject to the Ngarigu Dialect Boundary Application No NC 05/2. This Native Title Claim was filed with the National Native Title Tribunal on 19 December 2005 but has not passed the registration test prescribed by the Native Title Act 1993. It will therefore not be necessary to necotiate with the Ngaricu Dialect Boundary Claimants in the course of undergoing the Right to Negotiate process, as discussed below.

The issue of whether or not a Native Title Claim or ILUA applies to the land subject to EL 6172 is irrelevant to the requirement to comply with the Native Title processes prescribed by the Native Title Act 1993 if the relevant land is land where Native Title exists or may exist ("Native Title land"). The threshold question when considering Native Title issues is therefore whether or not the relevant land is Native Title land or, in other words, whether or not Native Title has been extinguished. If Native Title has been extinguished, then it is not necessary to consider whether or not there is a Native Title Claim in respect to the relevant land before carrying out exploration.

If Native Title has not been extinguished, then it will (except in very specific circumstances) be necessary to comply with Native Title processes before carrying out exploration. The presence of a registered Native Title Claim simply means that it will be necessary to reach an agreement with the Native Title Claimants before proceeding with the relevant exploration activity. This may not be the case where there is currently no registered Native Title Claim, atthough in that case it is still necessary to undergo the Right to Negotiate process prescribed by the Native Title Act 1993 or other equivalent Native Title process.

There are significant areas of Crown land. National Park and State Forest within EL 6172 and those areas may be Native Title land. It must be understood that the status of any Native Title in land cannot be determined with certainty until a thorough search of each parcel of land is carried out. Such searches are beyond the scope of this report.

EL 6172 has been granted with the "Minister's consent" condition included. This means that before carrying out exploration on Native Title land, the Minister's consent must be obtained. The Minister will not grant that consent until the Right to Negotiate process has been undergone.

The Right to Negotiate process involves advertising the proposed act (in this case exploration), allowing four months from notification for Native Title Claims to be filed and registered and then negotiating an agreement with any registered Native Title Claimants to enable the act to take place.

$2.10$ Aboriginal Places and Objects

An Aboriginal object is any material evidence relating to Aboriginal habitation of an area. An Aboriginal place is a place declared as such by the Minister administering the NPW Act, because that place is deemed to have special significance to Aboriginal culture. An Aboriginal place may or may not contain Aboriginal objects.

Aborigiaal places and objects are registered on the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System ("AHIMS") of the Department of Environment and Conservation ("the DEC"). This company has not been instructed to carry out the relevant search on the AHIMS, it is likely that there are a number of Aboriginal objects and places within the areas subject to EL 6172.

It is an offence to knowingly destroy, deface or damage an Aboriginal place or an Aboriginal object without the consent of the Director-General of the DEC pursuant to Section 90 of the NPW Act. The prohibition contained in Section 90 applies whether or not the Aboriginal place or Aboriginal object has been registered on the AHIMS.

Amendments to the NPW Act, currently before the New South Wales Parliament, will remove any reference to "knowingly" from Section 90, Instead, there will be a defence of having acted with due diligence and reasonable precaution. The net effect of these amendments will be to place greater onus on explorers to ensure that Aboriginal objects and places are not damaged.

It should be emphasised that the issue of Aboriginal places and objects is entirely separate to that of Native Title.

$2.11$ Heritage Sites

There are no items listed on the State Heritage Inventory in respect to the Tumbarumba Eocal Government Area, in which EL 6172 is located.
