RUSHWORTH GROWLERS HILL DRILLING RESULTS

Dart Mining NL (ASX:DTM) (“Dart Mining” or “the Company”) has completed Phase 1 drilling at the Growlers Hill Prospect within the companies 100% owned Rushworth Gold tenement package. All drillhole logging, sampling, results and interpretation are provided in this progress update.

The intersections from the Growlers Hill drilling to date clearly indicate multiple mineralised structures exist within the strong North-South Growlers Hill fault channel, further drilling is planned to target high grade gold shoots within these structures.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• 868m of drilling completed which has confirmed interpreted structural architecture of the Growlers Hill Fault.

• Final results have been received for all holes, with highlight results including: o GHDD001 – 2.5m @ 0.63g/t Au from 104.5m inc . 0.5m @ 1.9g/t Au

• GHDD002 – 3.0m @ 0.42g/t Au from 57m inc. 0.5m @ 1.5g/t Au

• GHDD003 – 4.0m @ 0.44g/t Au from 116.7m inc. 0.35m @ 0.99g/t Au

• GHDD008 – 2.45m @ 0.43g/t Au from 113.5m

• Gold intersections appeared on both the interpreted Growlers Hill Fault as mined on surface and a deeper secondary structure as shown in Figures 1 – 5 below.

• Interpretation indicates that several structures are present at depth below the surface workings in a wide zone of structural deformation focused around larger, sub vertical North-South orientated structures with smaller shallow dipping structures interlinking.

• Phase 2 drilling has commenced with 472m of a planned 1,620m completed at Star of the West, Henry Horne (formally known as Star of the West West) and Shellback Reef shown in Figure 6.

Chairman, James Chirnside commented:

“Dart have commenced the first systematic, field wide drill evaluation at Rushworth aimed at better understanding the structural controls on the high-grade gold shoots formerly mined on the goldfield. This will help us to refine our mineralisation models for these orogenic gold deposits and better target future drilling which is ongoing. Our target is structurally hosted high-grade zones similar to the Fosterville mine, 45km away, however Rushworth has its own characteristics and we are building our understanding of these with the ongoing drilling.”

Drilling at Growlers Hill has confirmed the position at depth of gold bearing structures mined from surface at Growlers Hill. Drilling intersected multiple sub-vertical North-South orientated structures with low angle North dipping structures linking between them. Drill core and assays demonstrate a strong mineralised fault structure below and adjacent to the known historic workings providing ample encouragement for follow-up testing.

DRILLING RESULTS DISCUSSION

Drill testing of the Growlers Hill Reef aimed to test the structural controls on mineralisation historically mined at surface, and at depth to ~100m from the Growlers Reef Shaft.

Drilling at Growlers Hill has confirmed the overall structural architecture and position at depth of the structures exploited at surface. Drilling intersected multiple sub-vertical (~80 degrees to the West) North-South orientated structures with shallow North dipping structures linking between the major structures.

Lithology intersected was classic Central Victorian turbidite facies rocks, with interbedded sandstone and shales exhibiting clear younging indicators of graded beds, and flame structures. Younging direction and bedding to cleavage relationships show the lithology intersected is as expected, with east-west orientated, south dipping bedding indicating the drilling intersected the Growlers Hill faults as they break across the southern limb of an anticline. Drilling showed evidence that more carbon rich shales exist within the stratigraphy at Rushworth, an important addition to destabilise the mineralising fluid and promote deposition of Gold. Bedding parallel veins were observed, with several small bedding parallel laminated quartz veins also present, providing additional future targeting options as they approach the anticline fold closure.

The Southern Drillholes (GHDD003 & GHDD004 shown in Figure 2, GHDD007 & GHDD008 shown in Figure 3) intersected a shallow mineralised structure before intersecting the main interpreted Growlers Hill Structure at depth. The main structure has a significant impact on the local weathering of rocks indicating a significant impact on the local fluid movement, however, this structure was only weakly mineralised over a narrow width. GHDD003 intersected a footwall structure below the Growlers Hill Fault which exhibited some width of disseminated sulphide mineralisation. GHDD007 did not intersect the structures after encountering drilling difficulties and being abandoned before target depth.

The Northern Drillholes (GHDD001 and GHDD002 shown in Figures 1, 4 & 5) intersected mineralised structures in both the hangingwall and footwall of the main Growlers Hill Structure, as well as the narrow low-grade intersection of the main Growlers Hill Structure. GHDD001 (Figure 4) intersected 2.5m @ 0.6g/t Au at 104.5m from a very wide zone of broken ground and low density stockwork veining from approximately 89m down hole to 120m depth. GHDD002 Figure 5intersected 3m @ 0.4g/t Au at 55m (Figure 5) from a series of veins cross cutting bedding, with apparent sulphide pitting in slightly weathered sandstone, with the interpreted Growlers Fault further downhole at 89m depth. Both zones from GHDD001 & GHDD002 show a significant amount of alteration, with iron staining, chlorite and sericite surrounding most veins.

Drilling has highlighted that the Growlers Hill Reef mined historically is likely a combination of several structures, with historic mining likely exploiting dilatational zones where the major structures intersected or bifurcated. Evidence for this can be seen in the en echelon shape of the surface workings, evident in Lidar images, just to the north of the planned holes GHDD005 and GHDD006 shown in Figure 1.

Results to date indicate that the wider Growlers Hill region is exhibiting encouraging widths and grades of gold mineralisation across several structures that warrants follow up drilling. The company has been waiting on the results before committing to drilling planned holes GHDD005 & GHDD006 in the centre of the Growlers Hill region. With the encouraging results received from the wider Growlers region indicating potential for multiple mineralised structures in close proximity, the company intends to continue to explore the prospect for the ideal structural setting, starting with GHDD005 & GHDD006 down plunge of the en echelon shaped zone identified in the surface workings.

RUSHWORTH PHASE 2 DRILLING

Phase 2 drilling is progressing well with 472m drilled across the Star of the West, Henry Horne and Shellback prospects, from a planned 1,630m.

Drilling targeted a North-South orientated structure to the western boundary of the Star of the West prospect. 3 short drillholes were drilled along strike from the surface workings, however very limited structure was identified in the drilling.

Drilling continued further West to the Henry Horne prospect (formally reported as Star of the West West). Drilling progressed well before intersecting an interpreted large-scale East-West structure where water return was lost which limited drilling progress and resulted in the abandonment of the planned drilling through the structure. The planned drilling will be reassessed with alternate hole designs or drilling method to be considered before recommencement. The nature and scale of the structure is encouraging.

Drilling of the Shellback target to the eastern end of the Star of the West prospect is targeting an east west orientated thrust fault and has intersected several bedding parallel structures with linking tensional veins intersected parallel to the drillhole along 2m to 3m of core. The bedding parallel structures appear to have a significant impact on the weathering profile of the surrounding rocks, with the dominantly fresh rocks surrounding the structure exhibiting significant weathering attributes. Core is being processed for submission to the laboratory.

RUSHWORTH STRUCTURAL ARCHITECTURE

The Rushworth goldfield is focused along a series of regional East-West orientated anticline folds which host shallow historic gold workings along a cumulative strike length of approximately 14km (Figure 2). The major limbs of the anticline also exhibit smaller scale parasitic folding and various changes in bedding strike and dip. Significant North-South orientated structures crosscut and offset East-West bedding and fold hinges along the length of the field.

The East-West orientation of the field is unusual for Victorian Goldfields, which usually trend North-South, due to the added structural complexity of the Rushworth Region being highly influenced by the Lachlan Orocline formation and induced North-South crustal shortening through subduction rollback.

Mineralisation historically exploited at Rushworth concentrated on Alluvial mining before focus shifted to the hard rock source. Mineralisation is dominated by free gold located in quartz veins hosted within sandstone and shale lithologies.

Mineralisation at Rushworth is comprised of three main structural architecture types.

1. Thrust hosted Quartz Veins . Formed during compressional events where folding has accommodated as much crustal shortening as it can, thrust faulting then takes over, utilising planer weakness usually associated with bedding and accommodates further shortening. Structures progress along limbs of folds and when a hinge zone is intersected, the fault structures break across the opposite fold limb introducing dilatational areas and structural complexity of discordant bedding to promote the deposition of gold from the mineralised fluid. This style of mineralisation is common across central Victoria particularly at Fosterville, Bendigo and Ballarat fields.

2. North South Veins. Significant mineralised fault structures crosscut the East-West bedding and thrust hosted quartz veins in a North-South orientation across the Rushworth Goldfield. During the folding and rollback event of the Lachlan Orocline formation, NorthSouth structures would have formed to accommodate the rotation of the upper crust in the region.

3. Saddle Reefs. Some historic workings reported exploiting “Bendigo Style” saddle Reefs where soft shale units deform in a more ductile fashion than the surrounding sandstone units and produce dilatational saddles in the hinge of the fold. This style of deformation and mineralisation is particularly evident and reported in historic texts in the Nuggetty Reef region.

Areas of significant interest for Dart Mining in the Rushworth Goldfield are areas of structural intersections, i.e. where the Thrust Faults which strike parallel to bedding intersect the large-scale North-South Structures. The intersection of major structures provides an increase in structural complexity and opportunity for the further deposition of gold from mineralised fluids. The intersection can also increase levels of mineralisation through introducing more mineralising events.

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS

Criteria	JORC Code Explanation	Commentary
Mineral tenement and land tenure status	• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.	• All tenements remain in good standing as of 1stJune 2024 • Details of Dart Mining tenements shown in Appendix 2 and Figure 7 and Figure 8
Exploration done by other parties	• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	• Gold was discovered in Rushworth in August 1853, and for several years production was from alluvial workings. This developed into reef workings by 1860. Mining had almost completely ceased by 1914 and attempts to revitalise the goldfield since have been met with no success. • Garratt (1985) calculated at least 97,000 oz of gold was produced from the Rushworth Goldfield, with a further 40,000 oz from the Whroo Goldfield 6km to the south of Rushworth. These figures are considered an absolute minimum for production due to poor record keeping prior to the 1860’s and the number of small, unrecorded workings in the district. • A detailed soil sampling survey of over 1200 samples were collected across a 6 km2 area by New Holland Mining N. L. • A series of 26 RAB holes were drilled across the Nuggety Hill – Specimen Hill prospect by New Holland Mining N.L. in 1993. Several significant intersections were identified, including 3m at 10.1 g/t, 3m at 3.16 g/t, and 3m at 3m at 2.83 g/t. The highest grades typically occurred between 50-60m down hole, and grade often displayed gold enrichment near the surface and approaching the water table. Notably, drilling stopped at the water table. • In 1994 New Holland Mining N. L. drilled 909m across 14 RAB drill holes across the Star of the West prospect, and 896m across 12 RC holes on the Nuggety prospect, 924m were drilled across 14 RC holes on the Fletchers Reef section of the Phoenix prospect. A review and resampling of soil grids across workings and various prospects showed little correlation between gold bearing structures and gold grade, suggesting soil sampling is of limited utility in identifying mineralisation. • Dart Mining completed an RC drilling campaign at Phoenix Hill in 2021 and reported results to the ASX(DART MINING ASX April 2021)
Geology	• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	• EL006016 is located in the Melbourne structural zone of the Lachlan Fold Belt in central Victoria. The EL is underlain by metamorphosed Upper Silurian to Lower Devonian age Melbourne Group sediments. • A Bendigo-style mineralisation model in folded turbidite sequence with late-stage brittle faulting and late gold mineralisation is interpreted across the Phoenix Hill- Appleton’s-Chinaman’s Hillprospect at Rushworth,with nuggety gold

		mineralisation observed on thrust-fault related flat veins, saddle reefs and AC joints. • The exploration rationale applied by Dart Mining is in line with the significant work previously undertaken across the tenement, targeting large thrust fault style reef systems and cross course faults, known to show high grade mineralisation and having potential for large tonnage stockwork-relatedgold mineralisation.
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.	• All drillhole data (location, RL, azimuth, dip, depth etc.) for this drilling program, and significant assay intercepts are presented 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.	• The length weighted average gold content across the the full intersection width in each drill hole that has a continuous intersection of elevated gold grades greater than 0.2g/t Au • The nominal sample length is 0.5m with a limited frequency of <1m sample lengths requiring a length weighted average technique to be used for significant intersections • No grade cutting or cut-off grade has been applied in reporting the average grades of drill intersections at this early stage of exploration.
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. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).	• The relationship between the drill hole and the geometry of the mineralised structures is clearly presented in a series of summary cross sections and drill plans. • The angle between the drill hole and the mineralisation structure is variable with an interpretation of the relative geometry presented as cross sections down hole, down hole average grades are also presented on these drill sections and are representative of the current geological interpretation, this interpretation may change over time as more drilling information become available. • Structural interpretation is constrained with surface geological mapping and down hole lithologylogging.
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.	• A summary table showing the hole location and orientation for all drilling is presented in Table 1 • Drill plans and cross sections are also presented for all holes to illustrate the relationshipbetween drill holes and averagegrades from down hole intersections

		within the target structure
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.	• Where mentioned, selected grade details and intercepts are included in the body of the report of this release, or else referenced back to the relevant release or data source. • All drill-related data are referenced to the original ASX report by date published. All details appear in the original report.
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.
