Corporate Update

  • Share Purchase Plan ($0.0101) and Directors Share placement (at SPP price) announced and launched March 11 2016

  • Resubmission of FY 2012 and FY 2013 Research & Development concession claims lodged with Innovation Australia for review consideration

  • Operational and bulk sample testing progress on Mountain View Au project paving the way for final economic assessment around transport, toll treatment, and Au recoveries

  • Constructive progress on mapping and interpretation of JV Au assets at Rushworth paving way towards bulk sample program

  • Final cost reduction program implemented which has led to a sharply lower administrative cost burden for the company

  • March conference held in Corryong involving past and present management and technical personnel with the objective of identifying and prioritising strategy, existing and potential projects for exploitation

  • The commissioning of a comprehensive technical report aimed at deepening our understanding of the company’s extensive resource assets and opportunities. The final report is expected by the end April 2016.

It has been an intensely busy time over the past quarter as we further asses and progress our priority Au assets at Mountain View and Rushworth. The completion and lodgment of the resubmission for the 2012 and 2013 R&D concession claims was a step forward and we now await a response from Innovation Australia - hopefully in the near future.

The A$ Au price held up - generally – only coming under pressure as the A$ rallied against the $US. Support at $US 1200 held firm.

We plan to deliver key briefings to shareholders at 11:00 AM on Friday 6th May at the scheduled general meeting in Melbourne. We will deliver the same briefing in Wodonga at 6:00 PM on Monday 9th May. (please see website for venue details) The content of these presentations will be based on subject matter extracted from our new technical report.

We expect that shareholders and investors will benefit from this broad and comprehensive review of the resource assets held by Dart and the strategy proposed to realise its value.

We encourage all shareholders to attend if at all possible.

GOLD ASSET DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Consistent with the Company’s revised strategy and focus on Au development and production Dart has prioritised and focused work on two specific projects at Mountain View and Rushworth in Victoria.

Bulk Sample / Metallurgical Program

Results of metallurgical test work carried out at ALS Metallurgy (Burnie Laboratory - Tasmania) indicate different gold recovery rates are likely for the high and low grade mineralisation extracted during the bulk sampling program (reported in the December Quarter). Carbon in Leach (CIL) test results indicate 81% and 63% recovery of gold for the high grade and low grade mineralisation respectively, with only moderate influence on recovery at finer grind size. Leach kinetics are considered excellent with moderate consumption of cyanide and lime over 4-6 hour leach periods. The non-cyanide recoverable gold is almost exclusively locked in sulphides.

The results of the metallurgical testing are in line with previous studies and will assist with the selection of the best toll treatment facility for this mineralisation style. Various treatment facilities are currently being reviewed for suitability and shortlisted for detailed contract negotiations. Once toll price negotiations are complete it will be possible to finalise the economic viability model for a decision to mine.

NORTHERN MINE VENTURES (NMV) JOINT VENTURE

Dart announced the Northern Mine Ventures Pty Ltd ( NMV ) Joint Venture ( JV ) agreement 13 November 2015. The NMV JV tenement package comprises 44.8 Ha under mining licenses MIN5246, 5306 & 5538 in Rushworth, Central Victoria and 231 Graticules under Exploration License EL4697 & EL5315 in northeast Victoria (Figure 1 – Table 1).

Mineralisation Reports, inclusive of amendments sought by DEDJTR have been completed and submitted as part of the renewal of the Rushworth Mining Licenses and a Retention Licence Application for the Beechworth area (Figure 1).

Mapping and Work Programming for the Rushworth mining tenements have been completed during the Quarter. Field mapping has resulted in a better insight into the structures controlling mineralisation at Rushworth. Mineralisation occurs along limb thrust faults to the south of the anticline and is enhanced close to crosscourse faults. Other shoot controls have not been recognised, but potentially veining (accompanied by gold) may be better developed in sandy packages. Multiple stacked limb thrust are recognised (Phoenix, Fletcher’s and Appleton’s zones) and these are commonly offset by dextral faulting along north-south oriented crosscourses (Figure 2). Sites are proposed for bulk sampling on key structures with proven gold in drill data to establish mining grades and inform economic viability models.

Tenement Status Report as at March 31 2016

In line with statutory requirements, EL5468 tenement area has been reduced by 25% at its second anniversary date. EL5467 (McCormack’s) has been surrendered during the Quarter as part of a tenement rationalisation program, this tenement was originally designed to secure possible infrastructure paths to service the Unicorn Project. An outcome of renewal applications submitted during the last Quarter for EL4724 (Buckland) and EL4726 (Dart) is expected from DEDJTR early in the next Quarter. A renewal application for the three Rushworth joint venture mining tenements ML5246, 5306 and 5538 has been completed, seeking a further 5 years renewal period. Dart Mining prepared an application for a Retention License (RL) over the highly prospective portions of EL4697 (Beechworth), further amendments to the Mineralisation Report sought by DEDJTR have now been submitted to finalise the RL application. Pending approval of the RL, exploration activities within the area of EL4697 covered by the RL Application are permitted.
