DART GOLDFIELD - DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Completion of RAB drilling and gold assay results for the Mountain View prospect
-
Interpretation indicates multiple sulphide rich gold lenses
-
Soil geochemistry highlights new targets for drilling
EL4726 - MOUNTAIN VIEW PROSPECT
Dart Mining has recently received assay results from the final eight holes of the RAB drill program at the Mountain View prospect in the Dart Goldfield. The purpose of the program was to infill and extend the known gold mineralisation by drilling a series of shallow holes to determine the characteristics of the Mountain View lode.
Interpretation of results from all 28 holes drilled so far indicates a stacked sulphide rich lens system. True widths in the outcropping lens are up to 7m, with the widest portions showing the most consistent and highest gold grades, including:
-
MVD04—3m @ 6.57 g/t Au • MVD12—4m @ 9.9 g/t Au • MVD13—6m @ 6.21 g/t Au
-
• MVD17—6m @ 6.05 g/t Au • MVD19—7m @ 6.16 g/t Au • MVD20—6m @ 21.79 g/t Au
A second deeper mineralised lens is interpreted from the gold intersected in holes:
- MVD001—6m @ 2.41 g/t Au • MVD006—1m @ 0.69 g/t Au • MVD011—1m @ 1.15 g/t Au (inc. 1m @ 7.88 g/t Au)
A soil sampling program has also been undertaken covering an area of 460m by 80m wide over the mineralised trend. A strong gold soil anomaly extends over more than 240m coincident with the drill tested lens. At the southern end of the grid and west of the main mineralised trend, a gold soil anomaly surrounds the 106 g/t Au outcrop sample (MVR002 previously reported) and extends 40m to the south where it remains open. This is interpreted as a parallel line of gold mineralisation and warrants drill testing as a matter of priority.

Dart Mining CEO John Quayle said the company is pleased with the results so far.
“This confirms a bigger picture at Mountain View. The gold grades intersected by drilling are very pleasing and the program has confirmed that soil geochemistry is very accurate at picking up mineralisation trends. We expect that follow-up deep drilling will be required to further evaluate the full potential of the prospect”.
Project Background
The Dart Goldfield is located some 45km south of Corryong in NE Victoria. It comprises a number of shallow mines from the 1890s where the gold is associated with sulphide rich lode structures. Dart Mining has commenced evaluation of this goldfield by drilling at Mountain View. Other mines in the goldfield will be mapped and sampled in order to prioritise further drilling opportunities.
