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 and Southern NSW is diverse, dynamic, and underexplored

  • Dart Mining has a strong foothold in the central Lachlan Fold Belt, with several mineral systems identified

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & BUSINESS OPERATING MODEL

Business Development

  • Dart continues to actively seek Farm-in Joint venture partnerships on many of it’s Au, Ag, Cu, W, Sn projects

  • SQM’s Farm-in Joint venture terms have established a benchmark against which other deals can be negotiated

  • Dart’s Bulk-tonnage projects including Porphyry deposits and other intrusive related deposits require large exploration expenditures, and therefore partners with deep pockets

  • As mining majors become more focussed on building out their exploration, and future production pipelines Dart is well positioned to offer compelling prospectivity

Business Operating Model

  • Dart has invested in equipment and personnel that allows for self reliance, efficiency, and low cost exploration programs

  • Farm-in Joint Venture arrangements like Dart’s recent deal with SQM have redefined the company

  • Dart has become less reliant on shareholder funding

  • Dart is more accurately defined, as a “project generator” and “exploration contractor”

  • This reshaping of the business allows the company to sink more dollars into drilling and other exploration activities

CONSTRUCTIVE TAILWINDS ON CRITICAL, PRECIOUS, & BASE METALS

  • Critical minerals are well positioned with supportive fundamentals including accelerating demand driven by global decarbonisation and electrification

  • Au, Ag have rallied strongly in 2023 against a backdrop of Geopolitical, Inflationary, and Economic uncertainty

  • The Base metals complex is experiencing exponential demand and at the same time supply constraints

Factors including the Ukraine war, metals supply constraints, and transition to metals intensive, low carbon output, are very supportive for metal prices in the medium and long-term
