GRANITE FLAT Cu-Au PROJECT - Diamond Drilling

Low-grade targets, long intercepts

  • Dominantly shallow drilling

Dart completed:

  • 2,224m Diamond drilling completed (12 holes; 2022)

  • 1,280m across 4 holes targeting geophysical targets

  • Deepest hole on the project - 429m (Feb 2022)

==> picture [242 x 181] intentionally omitted <==

  • 937m targeting shallow epithermal overprint (8 holes)

Geophysical survey shows large anomalies at 200-400m below surface

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

  • First phase drilling of geophysical targets completed

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
