GRANITE FLAT Cu-Au PROJECT

Over 109 historic and contemporary drillholes

  • Dominantly shallow drilling

Dart completed:

  • 1350m RAB drilling in 2020 (42 holes)

  • 951m RC drilling in 2021

  • Diamond drilling currently underway (>840m completed; further 1500m planned)

  • 16km IP & MT geophysics (6 lines)

  • Currently drilling the first of three deep holes

  • Deepest undertaken so far on project

  • Terminated at 429m Feb 21 2022

Geophysical survey shows large anomalies 200-400m below surface

  • None of the geophysical anomalies identified have ever been drilled - until now

  • Completed to terminal depth 429m DD into the largest IP target (IP1), results now pending

SUMMARY

  • Dart has accumulated an exceptional and commanding tenement position in a highly prospective underexplored region

  • Renewable energy transition is underpinning demand for entire metals complex and many of these critical minerals are represented within Dart’s land package

  • Positive long-term price fundamentals including covid-19 related shutdowns causing severe constraints on metals production and production development = perfect storm

  • Geolocation of projects increasingly important to avoid unreliable supply dependencies

  • DTM is cheap vs. peers who have far less 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
