SUMMARY
-
Exceptional and commanding tenement position in a mineral rich, under-explored, region
-
Polymetallic exposure with 14 of 32 “critical minerals” represented and anomalous across Dart’s footprint
-
Renewable energy transition underpinning demand for much of the metals complex
-
Many of these critical minerals are represented within Dart’s exploration portfolio
-
Constructive long-term metal price fundamentals including low inventories, continuing Covid supply chain issues, and Ukraine war
-
Geolocation of projects increasingly necessary to avoid unreliable or sanctioned supply dependencies
-
DTM is cheap vs. peers and has higher levels of prospectivity
-
Well funded with very supportive long-term shareholders
Dart Mining is a responsible, low cost, self-reliant, mineral explorer, employing a systematic and focussed exploration approach
