EXPLORATION AND REDISCOVERY OF VICTORIAN GOLD FIELDS
Dart has accumulated an exceptional and commanding tenement position that covers a number of Central and North Eastern Victoria’s historic goldfields where ~3% of the worlds gold was produced from the 1850’s – 1920’s. Early miners were – due to circumstances at the time - extracting only super high-grade (>31g/t) Gold close to surface
We now know that those operations were the tip of the iceberg…..
-
The success of operations such as Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville mine, and the Stawell Gold mine has refocused Australian gold exploration across Victoria and attracted significant international interest
-
Historically, Victoria has one of the worlds greatest gold endowments and contemporary technologies combined with modern exploration techniques is uncovering significant opportunities across many old mining districts
-
Current US$ and A$ gold prices have driven a new rush to gold exploration as global production continues to shrink with large-scale discoveries becoming rare
-
With A$ Gold near record historic highs and production margins amongst the highest of any industry sector we look favourably on the Junior Exploration sector for the foreseeable future
Dart Mining holds a ~6,000km[2] exploration portfolio in NE, Eastern and Central Victoria with numerous high-quality Lode style Au, Porphyry Cu-Au-Ag-Mo-Zn, Li, and REE targets

BUCKLAND GOLD PROJECT - Regional Gold Endowment
-
Buckland lies at the eastern structural edge of the Tabberabbera Zone (‘TZ’)
-
TZ is an area renowned for gold fertility
-
GSV interpret the TZ to be an extension of the world class gold-endowed Bendigo Zone
-
Buckland is at the southern end of a prolific NW-trending gold-producing corridor (~7.0Moz historic production*)
-
At Buckland, Dart has identified a 17.5km long major stacked shear zone hosting high grade gold in quartz in multiple structures
-
The Buckland shear zone also hosts broad zones of disseminated gold mineralisation
-
Thick gold mineralisation has been intersected in drilling 180 – 200m below surface

-
Multiple occurrences of disseminated gold-sulphide mineralisation in hydrothermally altered granites
-
High-grade gold occurring with antimony-lead-zinc-gold-silver silica-sulphide mineralisation identified at Tallandoon

RUSHWORTH GOLD PROJECT
Location
- The Rushworth Goldfield is located in Central Victoria, 45km northeast of the Fosterville Gold Mine
Profile
-
Dart’s tenure is surrounded by major explorers such as Newmont Mining, Chalice Gold Mines and Nagambie Resources
-
Dart owns 100% of licences covering the Rushworth Goldfield
-
The mineralisation at Rushworth is orogenic epizonal quartz-vein style that is interpreted to be genetically similar to the Fosterville high-grade gold style
-
Multiple structures evident with three primary quartz vein orientations
-
Two main parallel lines of strike, both over 7km long
-
Limited historic mining and drilling have intersected mineralised veins to 200m depth
-
Very high grade-gold historically mined
-
Very few historic mines developed below the water table (~50m depth)
Recent Work
-
Dart recently commenced a ~1000m RC drill program designed to intersect multiple interpreted mineralised vein sets and provide a bulk sample to accurately assess gold content at the prospect
-
Results are pending
