Activities Report for the Quarter Ended 31 December 2024
Dart Mining NL (ASX: DTM) (“Dart”, “Dart Mining” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Report
for the three-month period ending 31th December 2024 and to provide commentary and an update to
shareholders.
Highlights:
•
•
•
•
Completion of the Triumph Gold Project acquisition from Sunshine Metals (SHN)
Commencement of drilling at the Triumph Gold Project.
Commencement of field activities at the Triumph Gold Project that generated positive rock chip
sample results
475m drilled at Rushworth on the Phoenix prospect.
DTM’s Chairperson, James Chirnside, commented: “The Fourth quarter was defining for Dart with the
completion of the Triumph Gold Project acquisition and the commencement of field activities and drilling on the
project. The project will provide constant news flow as the declared resource expands and is upgraded. Triumph
holds further significant exploration upside for the company, and it is the most advanced project that we have
ever tackled. Dart’s use of its inhouse rigs is a distinct advantage, that allows us to drill considerably more metres
for the same money, and that is exactly what we intend to do.”
Triumph Gold Project
December quarter saw the completion of the Triumph Acquisition (ASX: DTM Dec2024) and the commencement of
drilling and field activities across the project.
Drilling commenced on the project during December at the Constitution Prospect aiming to increase the mineral
inventory and upgrade resource classification. Drilling is targeting the eastern zone of the existing resource at
Constitution with drilling extending deeper below the Construction resource to test the depth potential.

Rushworth Gold Project diamond drilling
Drilling continued at Rushworth during the quarter, 475m drilled at the Phoenix Prospect. Drilling focused on
the structural controls along strike of the historic mining at Phoenix Reef. Final interpretation and results are
expected to be released during the first quarter of 2025.
The Rushworth Goldfield is located in Central Victoria, 140 km north of Melbourne, and 65 km east of Bendigo.
The Rushworth Goldfield is well-exposed, with the host strata exposed at surface. These strata have been tightly
folded into upright, east-west trending folds, and two primary lines of gold quartz veining that extend for a
cumulative strike length of approximately 14 km. Gold mineralisation is interpreted to be an orogenic, epizonal
style similar to that forming high-grade gold shoots at the nearby Fosterville Mine. Within the Rushworth
Goldfield, mineralised quartz veins have been intersected at depths below 400m in a limited number of historical
workings, and up to 200m in modern drill holes. Historical workings rarely proceeded beyond the water table,
leaving most veins untouched at depth.
Victorian Tenements
The Company is undertaking a strategic review of the Victorian Tenement Holdings, and associated
prospectivity.
Finance
At the end of the December 2024 Quarter the Company had $409,000 cash at the bank. Payments to related
parties were approximately $42,000 in director fees, $16,000 in legal services, and $67,000 in exploration wages
and consulting fees.
Release approved by the Board of Directors

About Dart Mining
In August 2024 Dart Mining (ASX:DTM) entered into a binding agreement to purchase the Triumph Gold Project,
this is Dart’s first step into an advanced intrusion related Gold system project in Queensland. Dart will look to
develop a regional presence in Queensland through advanced stage intrusion related and epithermal Gold
projects. Dart Mining will continue to evaluate several historic Goldfields in Central and Northeast Victoria
including the Rushworth Goldfield and the new porphyry and lithium province in Northeast Victoria identified
by Dart. The area is prospective for precious, base, and strategic metals including Lithium, Gold, Antimony, Silver,
Copper, Molybdenum, Zinc and Tin. Dart Mining has built a strategically placed Gold exploration footprint in the
Central and Northeast regions of Victoria, where historic surface and alluvial Gold mining indicates the existence
of potentially significant Gold endowment.
Additional JORC Information Further details relating and information relating to Dart Mining’s Strategic and
Technology metals exploration programs can be found in Dart Mining’s ASX announcements on the company’s
website.
