Dart Mining NL (“Dart” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Report for the three-month period ending 31 March 2021 and provide commentary and update to shareholders.
Commenting on the Quarter, Managing Director James Chirnside said:
“During the quarter the Dart team were occupied compiling, interpreting, and reporting results from the company’s recent drilling programs at Granite Flat, Buckland, Sandy Creek, and Rushworth.
New work plans have been submitted and approved so that further drill testing at the Granite Flat Gold / Copper project can resume in early May. A Geophysical survey program of Granite Flat is due to commence in the first week of May also.
The acquisition and commissioning of a Diamond Drill rig has been completed successfully and we expect to begin drilling in early May at Granite Flat.
A Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling contract has been awarded and is expected to commence in the middle of May with an initial 3,500m program at Granite Flat.
It has been an extraordinarily busy period in preparation for a very exciting and extended period of field exploration activity”

OPERATIONS REPORT
During the quarter, Dart Mining completed and reported on exceptional assay results from RAB drilling of copper-gold mineralisation at the Granite Flat, Sandy Creek and Rushworth gold projects.
At Granite Flat , Northeast Victoria, results successfully identified numerous high-grade zones of gold-copper-silver mineralisation (ASX Announcement 08/03/2021). Results also highlighted the strong potential for bulk tonnage, porphyry-style Cu-Au mineralisation at the site, with a number of drill holes generating long intersections of low-grade Cu ± Au mineralisation.
Encouraging assay results were released in February (ASX Announcement 16/02/2021) from RAB drilling of gold mineralisation at the Sandy Creek , Northeast Victoria. The drilling represented the first ever holes drilled through mineralised structures at the historic, high-grade Sandy Creek orogenic goldfield and returned several high-grade gold results that confirmed the potential of the prospect for hosting significant gold resources. An additional target at Sandy Creek was the broader zones of gold mineralisation hosted in altered granites, but this remains inadequately tested due to difficulties associated with penetrating old, unmapped underground workings and loss of sample return in areas of high ground water volumes. Dart will plan further drilling at Sandy Creek in 2021.
Dart acquired airborne LiDAR data over a significant area of its active prospects in Northeast Victoria (ASX Announcement 18/03/2021). This data will be integral to the implementation of current and future exploration activities in the region.

Upon completion of the quarter, Dart received assay results for the Rushworth Reverse Circulation (“RC”) percussion drilling program completed in late 2020 at the Phoenix Hill – Chinaman’s Gully prospect (ASX Announcement 06/04/2021). The drilling focused on testing the mineralisation model at Phoenix – Chinaman’s Gully, focusing on targeting quartz vein and stockwork-hosted orogenic, epizonal gold mineralisation at the Company’s wholly-owned Rushworth Gold Project in Central Victoria.

Granite Flat Project, NE Victoria
The Granite Flat prospect is located 9km SE of Mitta Mitta and is accessed directly from the Omeo Highway. Historically, the prospect was mined at several small-scale production centres between 1856 and 1918, following its initial discovery when the source of alluvial gold in the Mitta River was followed upstream. Previous explorers have targeted the area with geophysical surveys, rock chip, soil and stream sediment sampling, and drilling and trenching.
Drill Assay Results
Dart completed a low impact percussion rotary air blast (RAB) drill program for a total of 1,358 metres of drilling across 42 holes at Granite Flat in late 2020 (ASX Announcement 07/12/2020). Based on reinterpretation of historic data by Dart geologists, the drilling program was designed to confirm significant historic exploration drilling results and test new structurally controlled gold-copper-silver targets to support the delineation of prospect-wide mineralised targets.
The program successfully returned several structurally controlled, high-grade gold-copper-silver intersections and was further enhanced by numerous long intersections of lower grade gold and copper (Figure 2), often throughout entire holes, that indicate the potential for intrusion or porphyry-style copper-gold bulk tonnage mineralisation (see Table 1 for significant intersections). The application of deeper drilling and geophysical techniques is planned to test for porphyry-style mineralisation at the prospect.

Discussion of Results
The Granite Flat prospect has previously been explored for lode-style gold-copper and massive sulphide mineralisation, with gold-copper mineralisation well established though the efforts of previous explorers (Dart ASX October 2020). Investigation by Dart Mining geologists indicates that gold-copper mineralisation dominantly occurs
4
in three styles; within silica sulphide breccias (chalcopyrite, chalcocite and sphalerite; Figure 3a), as disseminated chalcopyrite and chalcocite within diorite and granodiorite (Figure 3b), and as narrow, quartz vein-hosted and structurally controlled Au-Cu-Ag mineralisation of variable grade, with recent drilling indicating high grade pods are present (Figure 3c).
Copper-gold mineralisation is hosted by chlorite and locally epidote-altered granodiorite of the Banimboola Quartz Monzodiorite, with chalcocite and chalcopyrite along with minor sphalerite and pyrite being the principal species present. Silica-sulphide breccia pipes outcrop occasionally, the most significant being in the Sulphide Shaft area. Malachite and azurite are common copper alteration and weathering products across the Granite Flat prospect.

Geological Setting and Porphyry Potential
Whilst still in the early stages of exploration, Dart Mining geologists believe that many of the geological characteristics and mineralised features of the Granite Flat prospect correspond with key elements of the porphyry exploration model (Figure 4). Additionally, the strong magnetic anomalies in regional aeromagnetic data across the BQM, including pronounced magnetic highs and a central magnetic low are further indications of the polyphase nature of the intrusion, and produces a magnetic anomaly consistent with a porphyry system.

Sandy Creek Project, NE Victoria
Dart completed a low impact RAB drill program at Sandy Creek during the December 2020 quarter (ASX Announcement 16/02/2021), targeting six prospects (Honeysuckle, IXL East, IXL, Morning Star, Shamrock and O’Dell’s), for a total of 1308m of drilling across 43 holes. From the prospects targeted, three prospects (Honeysuckle, Shamrock and O’Dell’s) returned significant gold mineralisation and encouraging gold intersections (see Table 1 for significant intersections). Notably, the potential for roof-pendant granite hosted mineralisation in the Sandy Creek Goldfield remains untested.

Discussion of Results
Dart identified Honeysuckle, I.X.L East, I.X.L, Morning Star, Shamrock and O’Dell’s mines as the principal exploration drilling targets through field mapping, rock chip and soil sampling (Dart ASX Announcement 3 July 2020). Much of the recent drill program was designed to confirm that surface sampling of hydrothermally altered and mineralised granite and structures extended to depth and it has now been successfully demonstrated that this is indeed the case on three of six prospects drilled.
Drilling was complicated by steep terrain, an abundance of largely unmapped underground workings, a high-water table and unseasonable snow. Although numerous holes failed to penetrate their target adequately, the program has successfully indicated that significant gold mineralisation that remains open at depth and along strike is present at the O’Dell’s, Shamrock and Honeysuckle prospects.

LiDAR Data Acquisition Over Strategic Projects & Tenements
LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is a laser-based method of imaging the Earth’s surface at high resolution, and has the distinct advantage to be able to ‘see’ through vegetation and reveal previously obscured features. Dart Mining has recently acquired 576 km2 of LiDAR data across important, highly prospective tenements within its holding across Northeast Victoria (ASX Announcement 18/03/2021). LiDAR coverage was specifically targeted across the Buckland Valley (orogenic gold), Sandy Creek (orogenic gold), Dorchap Range (orogenic gold & lithiumtin pegmatites) and Granite Flat (orogenic gold & copper-gold porphyry potential) projects.
This dataset is extremely useful in identifying previously unknown historic workings and delineating geological, structural, and geomorphological trends. Additionally, the dataset can be used to provide high-resolution, detail digital topographic models of specific projects and target sites. These topographic models, or digital elevation models (DEMs) provide important, accurate and high-resolution mapped surfaces for project planning and development, particularly for drilling and field exploration activities. LiDAR provides a remarkable time and costsaving tool in the steep, heavily vegetated terrain of the Northeast Victorian high country, allowing geologists and exploration field crews to rapidly identify and find potential prospects, historic workings, pegmatite and other outcrop.
Data was acquired and processed by AAM Group. LiDAR measurements were collected at four points per square metre with 10cm vertical accuracy, with the resulting dataset including a LiDAR point cloud at a 0.5m ground grid resolution.

Project Implications
At the Granite Flat Project, LiDAR provides a detailed and accurate map of existing drill pads, track access and historic reef and alluvial workings, as well as the delineation of structural trends, largely based on geomorphic features and lineation apparent in reef workings. LiDAR will also be used in 3D models of the project, providing an accurate DEM for the project for future planning and development.
At the Sandy Creek and Buckland Valley orogenic gold projects, LiDAR data will primarily be used for identifying previously unknown reef workings as well as identifying bedrock structural trends apparent within processed LiDAR data.
In the Dorchap Range Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum-Tin bearing pegmatite dyke swarm, LiDAR data has demonstrated that it is able to resolve pegmatite dykes, providing a number of targets for follow up investigation, particularly targets obscured by vegetation that may have been missed by previous aerial surveys. Additionally, reef workings with significant strike extents (2–3km) have been identified by LiDAR data in the Mt Elmo Goldfield, providing additional orogenic gold targets for follow-up exploration.
SIGNIFICANT POST QUARTER END ACTIVITY
Rushworth Gold Project, Central Victoria
Dart completed a low impact, 44-hole RC percussion drilling program targeting mineralisation on repeated limb thrusts on Dart Mining’s wholly-owned Phoenix – Chinaman’s Gully Project at Rushworth, Central Victoria late in 2020. Results for the 1,270m of drilling were received in early April (ASX Announcement 06/04/2021)
A total of four transects at 5m intervals, were drilled in the program (Figure 7). The transects were oriented to target the Phoenix mineralisation system, where interpretations indicate repeated mineralised limb thrust faults cross-cutting folded strata of the Phoenix Anticline (Dart ASX Announcement 16 November 2020).
Discussion of Results
Results of this drill program, previous drilling completed by New Holland Mining Ltd. and geological mapping (Boucher, 2016; Jones & Turnbull, 2016; Dart ASX Announcement 16 November 2020), indicate that mineralisation remains open at depth and across more than 600m of strike, with multiple lines and orientations of mineralised structures evident.
Samples were assayed for gold by a 2kg Leachwell method with fire assay of tails completed to best determine true gold grade. Fire assay of tails showed that >95.5% of gold was recovered through the Leachwell analysis. The large sample size was to account for the nuggety nature of the mineralisation style at the Phoenix project that has previously been demonstrated by Jones & Turnbull (2016) and Boucher (2016).
Notably, visible gold was observed in percussion chips logged by the site geologist in hole RCRC08 between 18-19m downhole, which graded 1m @ 10.8 g/t Au .
Other significant high-grade results included:
-
1m @ 9.13 g/t Au in RDRC12 from 4m and
-
1m @ 7.1 g/t Au in RDRC03 from 18m.
Long intersections in holes RBRC08 (19m @ 1.1 g/t Au), RCRC01 (21m @ 0.35 g/t Au), RCRC02 (13m @ 0.44 g/t Au) and RDRC06 (17m @ 0.54 g/t Au) are particularly significant and demonstrate that gold grade is not always directly related to quartz reef-style mineralisation and is potentially indicative of stockwork mineralisation zones.
Drill transects demonstrated that multiple, shallow lines of mineralisation exist across the Phoenix Prospect. Deeper, low grade intersections in RARC09 (2m @ 0.62 g/t Au between 59-61m; & 1m @ 0.69 g/t Au between 9293m) provide an indication of additional mineralisation at depth, an aspect that has been poorly tested in the Rushworth goldfield.

CORPORATE
The company is continuing to bolster its investor relations activities and participated in several conferences and investor presentations during the quarter. Dart has recently expanded its exploration team to include a junior geologist who will assist in various field activities. Discussions are ongoing with potential joint venture partners on several the company’s exploration targets.
The Company’s cash position at the end of the March quarter was approximately $2.145m. Related party payments for the quarter of approximately $44,000 were for director’s fees. Explorations costs for the quarter were approximately $466,000.
