Operational Review
Key Prospects / Commodities:
GOLD
During the March quarter Dart’s field team focused on two specific areas of exploration. A continuation of our Lithium program was combined with regional soil sampling in the Buckland Valley near the historic Buckland goldfield. Soil and chip sampling were also undertaken on the Upper Sandy Creek gold prospect.
Lithium activities focused on the current drilling program at Hollow Way Track and Eagle dykes. To date only road-side drilling has been permissioned and undertaken while we prepare recently acquired land for vegetation and biodiversity offset certification and registration. Work plans for off-road drilling have been prepared and we will be able to commence further pegmatite drilling shortly.
A major consideration in assessing all of these mineral projects is to whether they can offer large scale in their prospectivity. Scale potential is critical in attracting optimal commercial partners for continued exploration and development work. To this end we are only pursuing projects that offer scale potential.
During the quarter Dart purchased some land in the form of a bush-block. The acquisition enables the company to provide for its own immediate vegetation and biodiversity offset obligations as well as into the future. The economics of the acquisition were compelling. The land has now been surveyed for biodiversity and vegetation offset certification and registration.

Being a first-party provider of vegetation and biodiversity offsets will dramatically enhance lead-times around any activities requiring these offsets. The acquisition will also provide the company with maximum flexibility and considerable cost savings in its on-ground exploration activities well into the future.

Lithium Exploration and Drilling Update
As forecast in the Dorchap Lithium Project Update (ASX 19 March 2019) Phase 1 drilling planned at the Eagle and Hollow Way dykes commenced in late March and was completed mid-April. The existing road access at both sites enabled the roadside Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to proceed without earthworks or the need for vegetation offset. The drill targets are within the fractionation target zone (Figure 1) and are the first pegmatite dykes to be drill tested along the Dorchap Dyke Swarm. All samples have been submitted for analysis and a detailed report will be prepared for release when all data are available. In summary, four RC holes were completed at the Hollow Way drill site for 304m and three holes completed at the Eagle site for 274m of drilling (Phase 1 total - 578m). The imposed use of existing access tracks restricted available drill pads and the size of the drill program. The program was still able to drill test the dyke targets below the mapped outcrop with all holes intersecting the dyke targets at depth.

Helicopter Survey Update
A further helicopter survey (Phase 6) was completed during the March Quarter and identified a significant number of new dyke targets for follow up field investigation, this work is ongoing. The planned flight paths continue to be guided by the fractionation target zone and trend of higher grade lithium along the belt (Figure 2). Helicopter surveys remain the most cost effective and timely method of regional exploration for pegmatite targets along the Dorchap Dyke Swarm and continue to locate new dyke zones for follow-up ground exploration during each phase. At least one more phase is planned to complete the aerial survey coverage between Hollow Way and Glen Wills.

Gold Exploration Update
BUCKLAND GOLDFIELD (EL006861 APPLICATION AREA)
REGIONAL SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY PROGRAM
Regional soil geochemistry work continued within the Buckland EL006861 application area and RL006615 application area (Figure 4) while drilling was underway at the Dorchap Lithium Project. The disseminated sulphide-related gold mineralisation within regional shear systems first identified by Dart remains the prime target of ongoing exploration in the region.
Six regional soil sample lines totaling some 30km have now been completed across the western side of the historic goldfield (Figure 3). The soil lines are sampled at 25m intervals, generating some 1200 soil samples for initial portable X-Ray Florescence (pXRF) analysis, now completed. The soil lines traverse at approximately right angles to the interpreted strike of regional shears, known to host gold mineralisation at Fairleys, Centennial, Kaufmanns and Great White Star (Figure 3). The lines follow near east – west ridges, spanning approximately 12 km of strike. This type of regional sampling is designed to test the scale and continuity of the shear-related gold mineralisation and is proving to be highly successful with pronounced soil arsenic anomalies evident on all of the lines tested over the full 12km strike length (Figure 3).
B-Horizon soil samples are dried and sieved to less than 2mm and initially tested for arsenic (As) using a hand held pXRF unit. Past exploration by Dart at the Fairleys Gold Project has already established a close geochemical association between disseminated gold mineralisation and arsenic (both in soil sampling and drill testing). To ensure the pXRF unit is performing accurately, the correlation of pXRF As and laboratory tested As (ME-MS61 4 Acid Digest) was established. The correlation between arsenic results from 92 soils samples using the two methods is very high with graph 1 below showing the data and the near perfect correlation coefficient (Graph 1).

The established reliability of pXRF arsenic analysis allows the pXRF data to be utilized as a pathfinder element for gold in the soil program. This allows focused gold analysis of only the samples within the pXRF As soil anomalies (only samples from two lines have been submitted for gold analysis to date). Gold assay data from soil lines BRE_T_0 and BRE_T_1 show multiple coincident gold – arsenic anomalies up to 193ppb Au (Figure 3). The arsenic anomalies within the regional soil lines appear to align with the established disseminated gold prospects at Fairleys, Centennial and Great White Star with strong anomalies at the western end of lines BRE_T_0, BRE_T_5 and BRE_T_4 showing potential to delineate the extension trend of the Fairleys Shear structure, open over a 5.7km strike length (Figure 3).
Additional ridge and spur soil sampling is planned to better define the trend of the arsenic anomalies already identified and will build a more detailed picture of the continuity of the shears and potential for additional sites of near surface mineralisation.

| Sub- sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second- half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Soil samples are collected from the top of the B-Horizon with a pick and scoop, dried and sieved to <2mm prior to analysis. pXRF analysis is undertaken on the small sample cup of the soil sample and the results reported in a digital csv file output per sample. Standards and duplicates are inserted at regular intervals and reviewed. Laboratory follow-up analysis uses the same pXRF sieved sample, pulverised prior to sub- sampling at the laboratory via riffle splitting for a multi-element 4 acid digest method ME-MS61 and low detection limit gold analysis by method Au-AA22. The sample size is considered representative to estimate the local metal content of the soil developed above the disseminated style of gold mineralisation targeted. Sampling was conducted at a reconnaissance level with regular duplicate and CRM samples inserted for analysis by pXRF. All results are in line with expectations. |

| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
No verification process or independent review of assay data has been carried out. pXRF analysis requires the manual entry into the XRF unit of the Sample number of the soil sample. The sample number and associated analysis is stored as a digital file within the pXRF unit for later export to a CSV file. The raw data is edited to separate all duplicates and CRM results into a QAQC tab in the CSV file and reviewed. <LOD results are also deleted from the dataset to allow numerical fields to be plotted. |
||
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
The location of the chip / grab / soil samples and geological mapping used a Garmin GPSMAP 62S GPS using the MGA94 Grid Datum (Zone 55) with topographic control taken from the GPS. Accuracy is variable but maintained <5m during the mapping process with constant visual quality assessment conducted. Mine workings are located using GPS control and then tape and compass survey for underground development. |
||
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Soil sample spacing may be variable and is designed to capture variability in the key pathfinder element analysed with respect to the geological model of the mineralisation under review. The regional soil program reported uses a 25m sample spacing as this was considered the maximum spacing that would capture regional shear structures over more than one sample Soil pXRF results are used for geochemical studies only and are not composited. |

| Exploration done by other parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. No commercial exploration for Li has previously occurred, geological investigations as part of academic research has been reported for the pegmatite dykes of the area in: Eagle, R. M., 2009. Petrology, petrogenesis and mineralisation of granitic pegmatites of the Mount Wills District, northeastern Victoria. Unpublished thesis, University of Ballarat. Eagle, R. M., Birch, W. D & McKnight, S., 2015. Phosphate minerals in granitic pegmatites from the Mount Wills district, northeastern Victoria. Royal Society of Victoria. 127:55-68. Previous exploration in the district has focussed on gold exploration at Glen Wills and historic Sn production from pegmatite dykes. The Buckland Goldfield has been explored in the past to access the remaining alluvial potential and limited effort to review reef style historic mines with surface and underground mappingand samplingcarried out |
10
| (EL1394, 1985 – 1988). There has not been any previous assessment of Fairleys style disseminated gold (shear hosted) within the goldfield . Dart are the first to recognize this style of mineralisation and initiate exploration,this started in 2005. |
||||
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Lithium mineralisation is hosted within highly evolved, late tectonic peraluminous granite pegmatites of the complex Lithium, Caesium, Tantalum (LCT) class. These dykes are thought to be distal to a source granitic body and are present as lenticular, discontinuous bodies of variable length and width (up to many hundreds of metres in length and tens of metres in width). Lithium mineralisation within the pegmaties is poorly understood at this early exploration stage but suspected to be spatially related to the zonation within the complex pegmatites. Lithium mineralisation observed to date appears to be as spodumene and Petalite with Cassiterite also evident within some of the dykes. The Buckland Goldfield was a traditional narrow vein, high grade (free gold) reef style field with a very large alluvial gold footprint. Dart Mining were the first to recognise disseminated sulphide related gold within regional shear systems. |

| 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 thedrill hole collar o elevation or RL (ReducedLevel – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length andinterception 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. |

| 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’). |
