PORPHYRY GOLD / COPPER / MOLYBDENUM

Dart Mining NL (ASX: DTM) (“Dart Mining” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that the company is currently undertaking gold-copper exploration within the Granite Flat project area in NE Victoria. Previous explorers at the prospect had identified a broad area of gold and copper mineralisation and Dart’s initial focus is to verify and extend previously identified high grade zones. Dart Mining holds an approved workplan for low impact exploration drilling from existing tracks and pads in the Granite Flat project area, with drilling operations to commence shortly.

Introduction

Granite Flat is located adjacent to the Omeo Highway between Mitta Mitta and Glen Wills, approximately 74 km southeast of Albury-Wodonga and 360 km northeast of Melbourne (Figure 3). The Granite Flat area has a complex geological history, demonstrating great potential as a porphyry target due to the polyphase intrusion process of the Devonian Banimboola Quartz Monzodiorite (BQM). Additionally, the Granite Flat area has experienced an orogenic mineralisation overprint along northwest-oriented shears. Consequently, this makes the area highly prospective for orogenic gold, as well other precious and base metals (Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn). This is supported by the exploration history of the project, first assessed for a bulk tonnage target by CRA Exploration (Rio Tinto) and Perseverance Mining (1986–1999), followed by examination for orogenic and porphyry potential by Synergy Metals and Glen Wills Gold Mines (2006–2016). Preliminary site investigation and previous exploration indicate northwest-trending shear systems bearing high-grade, lode-style gold mineralisation are surrounded by a thick alteration zone containing highly anomalous copper-gold mineralisation, largely comprised of chlorite-altered diorite, and disseminated chalcopyrite. Locally, pods of massive sulphide are present, containing chalcopyrite, chalcocite and sphalerite, and granodiorite and diorite adjacent to fault zones contain disseminated sulphides, largely chalcopyrite. Weathering and alteration of these rocks has produced malachite-azurite-tyrolite mineralisation in places (Figure 1). A subsidiary north-trending shear system contains localised strong silver-goldbismuth mineralisation.

Previous Exploration

Alluvial mining started in 1855 as miners progressed south from the Mitta Mitta goldfield. The first reef claims were pegged in 1856, with most claims lodged between 1877–1878. These included Crawley’s, Hodder’s and the Empress of India (also worked as the Bon Esperance). The Empress of India is the most notable working of the Granite Flat area, and is a gold-copper reef that was worked until 1902, then sporadically worked between 1915 and the 1930s (Cuffley, 1986).

2

Between 1986 and 1988 the Granite Flat area was worked by Meltech Ltd on behalf of Alluvial Prospectors Ltd, with soil sampling identifying strong geochemical anomalies and six diamond drill holes completed. From 1990 to 1995, CRA Exploration (now Rio Tinto) completed extensive exploration in the search for a bulk minable resource. This included expansion of the soil grid, sampling of 18 costeans, 32 reverse circulation (RC) and 13 Diamond drillholes, along with aeromagnetic, ground magnetic and induced polarity surveys of the site (Figure 2; Potter, 1997). In late 1994 Perseverance Mining Ltd entered into a joint-venture agreement with CRA Exploration, working the Granite Flat prospect from 1996 to 1999, completing an additional 20 RC drill holes.

From 2006 to 2008, Synergy Metals Ltd conducted minor stream sediment and soil sampling of the site before transferring the licence to Glen Wills Gold Mines NL in 2009. Glen Wills Gold Mines held the licence until 2016, completing some minor soil and stream sediment sampling studies. Selected peak results from previous drilling and chip sampling activities at Granite Flat are displayed in Tables 1 & 2.

Mineralisation

The Granite Flat prospect has previously been explored for lode-style gold-copper and massive sulphide mineralisation, both of which are exploration targets for Dart. Gold-copper mineralisation at Granite Flat is well established though the exploration efforts of previous workers across the prospect. Preliminary site investigation by Dart geologists indicates that gold-copper mineralisation dominantly occurs in two styles; within massive-silica sulphide mineralisation (chalcopyrite and sphalerite) and as disseminated chalcopyrite within diorite and granodiorite (Figure 1). Malachite, azurite and tyrolite are observed as copper alteration and weathering products at Sulphide Shaft and Crawley’s Adit mullock heaps (Figure 1). Given the polyphase nature of the Banimboola Quartz Monzodiorite and the extensive gold and copper surface anomalism, Dart Mining believes that EL006277 has also prime potential to host porphyry-style Au-Cu mineralisation, which will be a strong focus of future exploration in the area.

Work Program

Dart Mining is currently undertaking an extensive review of the geology at Granite Flat, including a field campaign to map major structures and assess the full extent of mineralisation. This will be completed in tandem with a low impact exploration drilling program, conducted from existing tracks and pads. A workplan has been approved, and drilling will commence shortly.

About Dart Mining

Dart Mining (ASX: DTM) floated on the ASX in May of 2007 with the aim of evaluating and developing several historic goldfields, as well as substantiating a new porphyry province in North East Victoria. The area is prospective for precious, base, and minor metals. These include Lithium, Gold, Silver, Copper, Molybdenum, Zinc, Tungsten, Tin, Tantalum, and a host of other important minerals. Dart Mining has built a strategically placed gold exploration footprint in the Central and North East regions of Victoria, where historic surface and alluvial gold mining indicates the existence of potentially significant gold endowment.

to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities
or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed

Exploration
done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal
of exploration by other parties.

Between 1986 and 1988 the Granite Flat area was
worked by Meltech Ltd on behalf of Alluvial
Prospectors Ltd, with soil sampling identifying
strong soil anomalies and six diamond drill holes
completed. From 1990 to 1995, CRA Exploration
(now Rio Tinto) completed extensive exploration
in the search for a bulk minable resource. This
included expansion of the soil grid, sampling of 18
costeans, 32 reverse circulation (RC) and the 13
Diamond drillholes, along with aeromagnetic,
ground magnetic and induced polarity surveys of
the site. In late 1994 Perseverance Mining Ltd
entered into a joint-venture agreement with CRA
Exploration, working the Granite Flat prospect
from 1996 to 1999, completing an additional 20
RC drill holes. From 2006 to 2008, Synergy Metals
Ltd conducted minor stream sediment and soil
sampling of the site before transferring the
licence to Glen Wills Gold Mines NL in 2009. Glen
Wills Gold Mines held the licence until 2016,
completing some minor soil and stream sediment
samplingstudies
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
• EL006277 is located in the Omeo structural zone
of the Lachlan Fold Belt in eastern Victoria. The
EL is underlain by metamorphosed Lower
Ordovician Pinnak Sandstone and its higher grade
metamorphic equivalents in the Omeo
Metamorphic Complex to the south. The
Banimboola Quartz Monzodiorite (BQM) intruded
during the early Devonian and is a highly
magnetic I-type composite pluton that has been
placed in the Boggy Plain Supersuite (Wyborn, et
al., 1987). Aeromagnetic data from the Geo Vic
database indicates that the BQM is a composite
pluton with a variable magnetic signature.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information
material to the understanding of
the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the
drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced
Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill
hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and
interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this
information is justified on the
basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
• Details of historic drill holes, where available, are
included in Appendix 2
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (e.g. cutting
of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and
should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of
high-grade results and longer
lengths of low-grade results, the
procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
• All down hole weighted average grade data
quoted as significant intersections is calculated
using a lower cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au and 0.1%
Cu and no more than 2m of internal dilution in
each drill hole. The nominal sample length in
potentially mineralised intervals is 1m with any
2m sample lengths in unmineralized sections
requiring a length weighted average technique to
be used for reporting intersections.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear
statement to this effect(e.g.
• All historic mineralised intercepts referred to in
the document are down hole widths with true
widths not known.
• The geometry of the mineralisation is not well
understood, and no attempt has been made to
estimate true thicknesses of mineralisation in this
report.

13

‘down hole length, true width
_not known’). _
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
• Maps showing the distribution of gold and copper
in surface samples are presented in the document
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting
of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
• Soil copper and gold values are reported in full as
graduated symbols for rock and drill samples. A
gridded colour image is presented for soil data.
The legend provides a guide to soil values. This
method of reporting is considered to be
comprehensive and un-biased for early
geochemical work.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not
limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.
• Any other relevant information is discussed in the
main body of the report.
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for
lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-
out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting
the areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
• Planned work is discussed in the body of the
report and is dependent on future company
direction.
