Drilling Commences at Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project
Highlights
-
Dart Mining NL (ASX:DTM) commenced drilling at the Coonambula Joint Venture’s Banshee Antimony-Gold Prospect on 28 September 2025.
-
First hole (CBADD001) intersected stibnite mineralisation 0.6m observed to be approximately 70% Stibnite at 42m. A second zone of stibnite massive sulphide veining was intersected at 70m downhole. First assays are expected to be returned in early November.
-
DTM expects to complete 2,000m of HQ core drilling this calendar year.
-
CEI-funded IP survey at Banshee has commenced with 12 of 15 lines completed to date.
Chief Executive Offer, Justin Haines, commented:
“ GDM entered into the JV with DTM to rapidly progress the Coonambula Project. DTM has made amazing progress in gaining all necessary approvals to commence site works and progressing drilling and geophysical surveys. With the first core displaying notably positive results, we look forward to receiving the initial results in the coming months. ”
Emerging gold producer and exploration company Great Divide Mining Ltd (the Company or GDM ) (ASX:GDM), is pleased to announce the commencement of exploration works at the Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project, SE Queensland.
The Coonambula Project is subject to a Joint Venture with Dart Mining NL (ASX:DTM) whereby DTM will earn up to 51% equity in the Coonambula Project upon completion of 4,000m of drilling and two annual resource reports, over the next 24-month period (from March 2025).
For further information on the Coonambula Project and the DTM farm-out, please see GDM’s ASX announcements “GDM to Farm-out Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project” of 12 March 2025 and “GDM Completes Farm-out of Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project” of 17 June 2025.
Drilling Commencement
DTM completed the necessary approvals and permissions for drilling activities during August and September 2025 and moved a portable camp to a nearby offsite location. Drilling of the first cored hole into the Banshee Antimony-Gold Prospect was commenced late in September 2025 with hole CBADD001 being drilled near the historic Banshee Antimony mine workings (Figure 1 and 2).
CBADD001 intersected massive sulphide mineralisation 0.6m observed to be approximately 70% Stibnite at 42m (Figure 3). A second zone of stibnite massive sulphide veining was intersected at 70m downholeFigure 3. First assays are expected to be returned in early November.

DTM’s drillers have reported excellent drilling and recovery rates. Sampling and analysis of the first drill core had not been completed as at the date of this announcement.
Drilling is expected to continue through to the end of 2025, with 2,000m of drilling being targeted for completion at the Banshee Antimony-Gold Prospect in that period.

IP Geophysical Survey Commencement
GDM was awarded a prestigious CEI (Round 9) grant from the Queensland Government totalling $181,577 to fast-track the Banshee Antimony-Gold target within the Company’s Coonambula

Project in SE Queensland. The grant was awarded for a detailed IP (geophysical) survey targeting strike and depth extensions to the high-grade Antimony-Gold veins at the historic Banshee Antimony-Gold mine.
The IP survey commenced as required in September and is expected to be completed during October 2025. The data will then be interpreted and the outcomes of the survey reported as soon as possible.
Initial checking of field data shows good responses across the completed lines (Figure 4).

About Great Divide Mining Ltd (ASX: GDM)
Great Divide Mining is a Gold, Antimony and critical metals miner, explorer and developer with five projects across 17 tenements (including two in application). GDM’s focus is on operating producing assets within areas of historical mining and past exploration with nearby infrastructure, thus enabling rapid development. Through a staged exploration and development programme, GDM intends to generate cash flow from its initial projects to support further exploration across its portfolio of highly prospective tenements.
