Dart Mining NL (ASX:DTM) (“Dart Mining” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that it has commenced follow up RC drilling of copper-gold mineralisation intersected in the Company’s 2020 drilling campaign at the wholly owned Granite Flat project, NE Victoria (ASX Announcement 08/03/2021). Dart will undertake the program in conjunction with the ongoing diamond drilling that commenced earlier this month (ASX Announcement 11/05/2021) and the recently commenced IP/MT geophysical program designed to search for deeper porphyry-styles of mineralisation (ASX Announcement 27/05/2021).

Managing Director James Chirnside commented:
“Granite Flat is our company’s flagship project at present and given the very encouraging results from last year’s drill program, we have decided to ramp up exploration activity considerably. In combination with our recent Lidar survey, our current Geophysical survey, and our ongoing Diamond Drill program, the proposed ~3,500m RC drill program will accelerate the extension to the copper-gold mineralisation discovered to date”.
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 1). The Granite Flat area has a complex geological history, demonstrating great potential as a porphyry target due to the polyphase intrusion processes of the Devonian Banimboola Quartz Monzodiorite (BQM). Additionally, the Granite Flat area contains high-grade CuAu mineralised structures along northwest-oriented shears, making the area highly prospective for lode-style gold, as well intrusion-related precious and base metals (Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn) mineralisation.
Recent drilling completed by Dart Mining at Granite Flat intersected a number of high-grade gold lodes and has also highlighted the strong potential for bulk tonnage, porphyry or intrusion-related Cu-Au mineralisation with a number of drill holes generating long intersections of elevated Cu-Au in altered intrusive rocks (ASX Announcements: 08/03/2021, 11/03/2021). Historic work has defined a 3km x 2km surface geochemical Cu-Au anomaly with elements such as silver and bismuth strongly associated with Cu-Au mineralisation. Widespread occurrences of epidote-chlorite alteration have been noted by previous workers. Despite the strong indications of a bulk-tonnage, intrusion-related mineralised system, no deep-detecting geophysics or drilling beyond approximately 125m vertical depth has been undertaken on the property.

Planned Reverse Circulation Drill Program
Dart has mobilised a track-mounted Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill rig to Hole 1 of a 20-hole program designed to further assess the porphyry and intrusion related gold mineralization at Granite Flat (Figures 3 & 4). Totalling approximately 3,500m, the program will target areas of historic drilling that were not tested by the 2020 RAB drilling program (Figures 5 to 8) and will drill deeper than historic holes, many of which ended in Au and/or Cu mineralisation. Working in tandem with the diamond drilling, the program will also follow-up encouraging significant mineralisation returned from the 2020 RAB program to further understand the potential of these results.

About Dart Mining
Dart Mining (ASX: DTM) listed 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, Gold, Silver, Copper, Lithium, 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.
