relationships and costs have also been reduced significantly. The board's priority is to get the ratio of admin costs to mining / exploration cost down. This has been achieved.
Our greatest challenge and our first corporate objective is to take the company into Gold production. During the half year we successfully concluded a joint venture on exploration and mining leases at Rushworth in Central Victoria as well as additional tenements at Beechworth in North East Victoria. Within these tenements the identified prospects are supported by historic records showing mines with significant past production. Previous exploration results have been compiled and interpreted for the JV tenements. Further work is underway in proving these projects up so as to optimise and prioritise allocation of capital expenditure.
Additional prospective tenements are under consideration and assessment. The company will continue to participate in selective opportunities as they present themselves based on high standards of prospectivity and realistic economic development potential.
The company's most exciting development at present is the progress made on the Mountain View Gold mining project. Assay results from bulk samples are consistent with past drilling results and economic modelling is progressing toward a decision to mine, the outcome of which is expected over the next couple of months.
The Australia dollar Gold price has been very supportive of the board's strategy to refocus on gold production as a core business. Indeed, some gold miners have never had it so good from an operating margin perspective. We remain confident that in a world of heightened financial and political uncertainty that this will remain the case for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
$\mathbf{1}$ . Corporate Information
Dart Mining NL ("the Company") is a for profit Company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The half-year report for the six months ended 31 December 2015 of the company is a general purpose report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This report was authorised for issue in accordance with a directors' resolution dated 9 March 2016.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in Note 8.
$2.$ Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian Dollars unless otherwise noted.
$a)$ Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were used in the Group's last reported annual financial statements at 30 June 2015, unless otherwise stated.
b) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The critical estimates and judgements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the June 2015 annual report.
Key Judgements
i. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to a relinquished area are written off in full against the profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
ii. Government Grants/Rebates
Government grants and/or rebates are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will be eligible and receive such incentives.
All Research and Development grants are made conditional upon possible post grant review by Auslndustry. which may result in a grantee refunding part or all of a Research and Development grant. AusIndustry is currently reviewing the company's previous Research and Development grant applications but no refund request has been made at the date of this report
iii. Going Concern Basis
The Group is involved in the exploration and evaluation of mineral tenements and as such expects to be cash absorbing until these tenements demonstrate that they contain economically recoverable reserves.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (continued)
As at 31 December 2015, the Group had a surplus of current assets over current liabilities of \$238,930 (2014: \$2,403,121) with cash reserves of \$407,085 (2014: \$2,802,956).
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of this report is dependent on its ability to generate additional funds from activities including:
- other future equity or debt fund raisings;
- the potential farm-out of participating interests in the Group's tenements; and $\bullet$
- successful development of existing tenements. $\bullet$
3. LOSS FOR PERIOD

| Exploration costs written off | (5, 491) | (1,389,454) | |
| Balance at the end of the period | 7,707,896 | 7,393,445 |
Ultimate recovery of deferred exploration and evaluation costs is dependent upon the success of the Prefeasibility Study, exploration and evaluation or sale or farm-out of the exploration interests. A percentage of the Managing Director's salary and associated costs are capitalised in line with the Company's policy for capitalising costs directly relating to Pre-feasibility and exploration. Namely, the Company has four cost centres, Corporate, Pre-feasibility Study, Research and Development and Exploration. Where identifiable, costs associated with the Pre-feasibility Study and Exploration cost centres are capitalised. These costs are annually reviewed for impairment and a charge is made directly to the Income Statement of the Company when an impairment is identified.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALFͲYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (continued)
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In addition to the commitments disclosed in the June 2015 Financial Report, the Group notes the changes to the following expenditure commitments during the six months ended 31 December 2015.
| December 15 | June 15 | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease | 13,481 | 7,669 |
| Licence agreement | 69,711 | 88,173 |
| Minimum exploration commitments | 992,148 | 1,398,680 |
The exploration commitment decreased owing to time reduction of permits maintained by the Group.
As noted in the June 2015 Financial Report, Dart Mining NL received notification from Innovation Australia (formerly AusIndustry) stating that the previous R&D Claims were not core R&D activities in accordance with the Industry Research and Development Act 1986. Preliminary advice from the independent expert is that there is a reasonable degree of confidence that the claim will be allowed, however, if this is not the case the total amount which is potentially refundable to Innovation Australia is \$2,033,733. The issue is still to be resolved.
No contingent assets existed at the reporting date
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There were no related party transactions.
8. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group's activities consist of base metal and gold exploration in Australia. There are no other significant classes of assets, either singularly or in aggregate. Internal monthly management reports are provided to the Group's managing director that consolidate operations into one segment. Therefore, the Group's activities are as one business segment and therefore operating results and financial information are not separately disclosed in this note.
9. FAIR VALUE
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The market approach is the valuation technique selected by the Group. This valuation technique uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
The carrying value in the Statement of Financial Position is the same as fair value for all monetary assets and liabilities.
10. EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DART MINING NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Dart Mining NL, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors' determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Dart Mining NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Dart Mining NL is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its $\ddot{1}$ performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- ii. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
