BUCKLAND GOLD PROJECT
==> picture [397 x 381] intentionally omitted <==
-
Location
-
Part of 6.9Moz[1] Rutherglen-Beechworth-Harrietville gold district
-
Primary + Alluvial production
-
Buckland shows extensive shallow primary workings (>100) but low primary production
-
Scale
-
17.5km strike identified from ~7,500 surface samples
-
Multiple parallel structures identified
-
Thick mineralisation intersected >180m below surface
-
Mineralisation extends to over 10m width at surface and down hole
-
Style
-
Shear hosted, orogenic gold system
-
Strong association of gold with arsenic
-
Strong similarities with Bendigo and Fosterville style gold mineralisation
-
Multiple mineralization styles evident
-
Surface outcropping with vein-hosting high grade gold
-
Broad zones of disseminated sulphide hosted low and mid-grade gold in altered wall rock

Rushworth Gold Project
-
The Rushworth Goldfield is located in Central Victoria, 45km northeast of the Fosterville Gold Mine
-
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)
==> picture [274 x 230] intentionally omitted <==
-
Dart recently completed a ~1300m RC drill program designed to intersect multiple mineralised vein sets and provide a bulk sample to accurately assess gold content at the prospect.
