REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING
-
The Lachlan Fold Belt and associated Macquarie Arc rocks host a significant proportion of mineralisation in Eastern Australia
-
Geology is the fundamental precursor for any mineral exploration
-
The geological setting of Northeast Victoria is diverse, dynamic, and under-explored
-
Dart Mining has a strong foothold in the central Lachlan Fold Belt, with several mineral systems identified already

SUMMARY
-
Exceptional and commanding tenement position in a highly prospective under-explored region
-
Renewable energy transition is underpinning demand for entire metals complex and many of these critical minerals are represented within Dart’s exploration portfolio
-
Positive long-term price fundamentals including covid-19 related supply constraints causing severe restrictions on metals production and production development = perfect storm
-
Geolocation of projects increasingly important to avoid unreliable supply dependencies
-
DTM is cheap vs. peers and has higher levels of prospectivity
-
Well funded with very supportive long term shareholders
DTM is a low cost explorer that is self-reliant with a systematic and focussed exploration approach
