HIGH GRADE GOLD IN TRIUMPH ROCK CHIPS BROADENS
PROSPECTS AT TRIUMPH
Dart Mining NL (“Dart” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce rock chips samples that have been
received for the Triumph Gold Project in Central Queensland. Dart Mining completed this sampling in
December 2025 with the aim of further defining priority targets for resource growth in Triumph’s
Northern Corridor and areas adjacent to the Norton Mine. Triumph has an existing Inferred Mineral
Resource of 2.16 Mt @ 2.17g/t Au for 150,000oz gold (ASX: DTM 4 Mar 2025) and an Exploration
Target of 5.1 - 7.6 Mt @ 1.72 - 2.52 g/t Au for 285,100-613,200oz gold, with a base case of 6.9Mt @
2.29 g/t Au for 506,800oz gold (ASX: DTM 11 Nov 2025).
HIGHLIGHTS
• Rock chip sampling of the Chandlers and Sailor Boy lodes extending east of the Norton Mine
returned:
▪ 109.0 g/t Au + 105.0 g/t Ag (Chandlers – RCKCH02); and
▪ 9.0 g/t Au + 13.5 g/t Ag + 2.11% Zn (Sailor Boy – RCKSB02).
• Rock chip sampling along the strike of the Spotted Gum Mine, part of the Advance prospect
area, returned:
▪ 73.0 g/t Au + 45.0 g/t Ag (RCKSG01);
▪ 21.8 g/t Au + 12.6 g/t Ag (RCKSG04); and
▪ 7.8 g/t Au + 9.8 g/t Ag (RCKSG02).
• Reinterpretation of historic RC drilling and recent field reconnaissance at the Advance prospect
has confirmed that Dart Mining will return to the Advance area for diamond drilling to aid
interpretation. Advance has high potential to add ounces to the current Mineral Resource
Estimate.
Dart Mining’s Chairman, James Chirnside, commented: “While Dart Mining is concentrating on
completing our earn-in and JV at Coonambula and the pending gold-antimony Mineral Resource there,
we’re looking ahead to our flagship Triumph Gold project. With the existing JORC resource base plus
the JORC exploration target, the geology team are keen to add more targets for drilling. The areas
around the Norton Mine haven’t been properly drilled, and the complexity in the Northern Corridor
around the Advance and Spotted Gum prospects should yield good results once we understand better
what’s happening there geologically. These rock chips and the observations made by the team are
encouraging, but not entirely surprising. We think that Triumph is a bit like a onion, as we peel back
layers, we are finding more and more. What’s at its core? We’re doing our best to find out as quickly
as we can!”

SPOTTED GUM AND ADVANCE
The Spotted Gum prospect sits within the Northern Corridor and represents one of the interpreted
stacked lodes in the Advance area of the project. Gold mineralisation is associated with quartz-
sulphide veining and disseminated sulphides developed along north-northwest trending structures
(Figure 2), with alteration and geochemistry (Au-Ag-As) consistent with the main Triumph lode
system. Historic workings and mapping highlight multiple mineralised trends at surface and can be
correlated with some of the historical drilling intercepts.
Figure 2: Plan map of the Advance field showing Spotted Gum sampling.
Drilling by previous operators have confirmed that Spotted Gum hosts shallow, structurally controlled
gold mineralisation along this interpreted strike. Although drilling density remains relatively low
compared to the core Triumph deposits, the combination of broad anomalous gold zones, local higher
grade vein style mineralisation, and strong pathfinder observations indicates that Spotted Gum is an
important growth zone for the Advance area.
At Spotted Gum a sample of in-situ quartz from the main Spotted Gum Lode was exposed in a road
cutting (RCKSG01) and assayed 73g/t gold and 45g/t silver. This 73g/t Au sample was located at
surface above the high-grade drill intercepts of 1m@69.8g/t Au and 1m@45.5g/t Au from TDH115
and TDH206 as described below. Along the strike of the Spotted Gum Lode to the east additional grab
samples from mine waste dumps included assays of 21.8g/t Au and 7.8g/t Au with elevated silver to
12.55g/t Ag.

Key historical drilling into the Spotted Gum prospect includes:
• 4m @ 18.85 g/t Au from 16.0m (TDH115) including
▪ 1m @ 69.8 g/t Au + 50.1 g/t Ag from 17.0m; and
• 2m @ 22.88 g/t Au from 28.0m (TDH206) including
▪ 1m @ 45.5 g/t Au from 28.0m.
The Advance prospect/mine is located approximately 200m away from Spotted Gum, on the other
side of a deep gully (note which crosscuts the interpreted mineralisation orientation). Gold
mineralisation at Advance is developed in quartz-sulphide veins and vein breccias within altered
tonalite. The mineralisation is controlled by north-northwest trending structures parallel to
surrounding main lodes interpreted in the aera.
Advance was the deepest historic mine on the gold field, and being described as structurally
controlled, this may not have been obvious from the RC drilling to date. Dart Mining geologists spent
time assessing the historical workings and distribution of drilling to date. The Advance area will be on
a priority list to drill with diamond core to better understand the controlling structure and
mineralisation potential. Figure 3 shows collars from the area and the Advance workings in the
background.

CHANDLERS AND SAILOR BOY
The east-west striking Chandlers Lode is an historically mined, high‑grade gold‑bearing structure on
the Norton Mining Lease (ML not held by Dart Mining), striking into Dart’s Triumph exploration
ground to the east of the ML. It forms part of a continuous series of lodes where mineralisation is
hosted in steeply dipping quartz-sulphide veins and shears (Figure 5). Historic workings exploited
narrow but high‑grade shoots both on the Norton Mining Lease and in Dart’s adjacent EPM where
shallow open pits follow the Chandlers lode from the Norton ML east to Norton Creek.
The Sailor Boy lode, located 155m south of Chandlers lode at Norton Creek, comprises multiple
parallel quartz–sulphide veins. Mineralisation presented as sulphide rich continuous shoots, with
massive pyrite-arsenopyrite-sphalerite observed. Figure 5 shows the location of the Sailor Boy lode
(note the direction strike of the workings to indicate the strike of the lode) and the sample collected.

KEY HISTORIC TRIUMPH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Highlights from Dart Mining’s Mineral Resource update announcement: (ASX:DTM 4 March 2025)
include:
• Triumph Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) has been increased to 2.16Mt @ 2.17g/t Au for
150koz gold at a 1g/t Au cut-off;
• The increase represents an 7% uplift in grade and a 27% uplift in contained gold ounces.
• Drilling information that underpins the MRE update was collected by previous operators and
effectively reduces Dart’s acquisition cost per ounce from $17.0/ounce to $13.3/ounce; and
• Resource represents attractive open pittable targets with 43% of gold ounces within the first
50m at 2.18 g/t Au grade, and 77% of gold ounces within the first 100m at 2.10 g/t Au grade.
Highlights from Dart Mining’s Exploration Target announcement: (ASX: DTM 10 November 2025)
include:

Dart Mining will continue progressing farm-in exploration at Coonambula prior to returning to
Triumph. Over coming months Dart Mining intends to:
• Report diamond drilling assay results as they are received;
• Continue to drill and test Banshee Gold-Antimony trend at Coonambula;
• Develop a 3D model and declare a JORC resource at the earliest possible opportunity subject
to drill results at Coonambula; and
• Return to Triumph gold project to enhance the Mineral Resource Estimate and prioritise
targets defined in the Exploration Target.

About Dart Mining
The Triumph Gold Project is Dart Mining’s first step into an advanced intrusion related gold system
project in Queensland. Dart Mining will look to develop a regional presence in Queensland through
advanced stage intrusion related and epithermal gold projects. Dart Mining is also farming into the
Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project in Central Queensland. Dart Mining is continuing to evaluate
historic goldfields in Central Victoria including the 100% owned Rushworth Goldfield. The area is
prospective for precious and strategic metals including Gold and Antimony. Dart Mining has built a
strategic and highly prospective gold exploration portfolio in Central Victoria, where historic surface
gold mining indicates the existence of potentially large gold endowments.

THE TRIUMPH GOLD PROJECT
The Triumph Gold Project (Triumph or Project) is located approximately 520km by road north of
Brisbane, Queensland, and is well serviced by the coastal port city of Gladstone 80km by road to the
north. The Project is comprised of three Exploration Permits: EPM 18486, EPM 19343, and EPM
29097 covering an area of 396.55 sq.km or 127 sub-blocks in total. The Triumph Project is shown
relative to Dart Mining’s Queensland exploration tenements in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Project Location Plan.
Local Geology
The Triumph Gold Project is located in the Yarrol belt of the Wandilla Province (New England
Orogen), where late Permian to Middle Triassic leucocratic intrusives are scattered throughout
Devonian and Carboniferous sediments. Known mineralisation at Triumph is located within one of
these intrusive bodies, the Norton Tonalite.
The Norton Tonalite is dissected by numerous brittle faults and shears, as well as common minor
mafic intrusive dykes of dolerite to basaltic composition. There is a distinct magnetic low signature
at the core of the Norton Tonalite which is yet to be drill tested (ASX SHN: (ASX SHN: Robust Maiden
Resource at Triumph Gold Project (31 March 2022)).
10
Structure
The Norton Tonalite is sinistrally offset by 1.8km by the northwest-trending Norton Fault, which can
be traced for over 28km. Initially thought to post date mineralisation, a single drill hole has
intersected the interpreted Norton Fault which returned 1m @ 2.9g/t Au and 1m @ 2.2g/t Au (ASX
MKB: Triumph Gold Project Update Amended (25 July 2014) indicating that the fault may have been
active during the main gold mineralisation event.
On a local scale the Norton Tonalite has two distinct fracture orientations that both host gold
mineralisation. One fracture set is approximately east-west striking and the other is northwest-
southeast striking. These fracture orientations are likely to have formed contemporaneously (ASX
SHN: Robust Maiden Resource at Triumph Gold Project (31 March 2022)).
Mineralisation
Gold and silver mineralisation is hosted in quartz-sulphide veins with pyrite and arsenopyrite
forming the bulk of the sulphide. Calcite is abundant in some lodes and present in most or all of
them. Veins typically show sericite-chlorite alteration halos although this appears to be more
associated with quartz veining rather than sulphides. Mineralisation at Triumph is interpreted as an
intrusion related gold system (IRGS) (ASX SHN: Robust Maiden Resource at Triumph Gold Project
(31 March 2022)).
Morrison (Intrusion-Related Gold Deposits in North Queensland, GSQ Project final meeting 7th
December, 2017)
stated that there were over 130 known IRGS in Queensland with 17 of these having resources over
1 million ounces. Sunshine have stated that Triumph is analogous to the Ravenswood IRGS gold
deposit which has an endowment in excess of 5 million ounces of gold (ASX SHN: Follow Up Drilling
at Liontown (19 June 2024)).
Resource Highlights
The Project is located across the historic Norton Goldfield and has a current JORC (2012) Mineral
Resource Estimate prepared over five prospects in close proximity: Inferred gold resource of
150,091 oz made up of 2,16 million tonnes at a grade of 2.17g/t gold using a 1g/t cut-off has been
declared in 2025.
More than 75% of the Triumph Inferred resource is within 100m of the surface and largely located
within 1.2km of strike within a 6km long structural corridor (ASX SHN: Follow Up Drilling at
Liontown (19 June 2024)). Dart considers that there is potential for proving up mineralisation below
current drilling and open pit depths that may result in underground mining options subject to
favourable economic studies.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• Rockchip samples were collected from identified outcrops or
mullock dumps using rock hammers. Float samples were collected at
the location they’re found. The float samples were typically close to
existing trenches or workings. The samples are between 0.5 and
2.0kg and were collected in marked calico bags for assaying.
• Rockchip samples were collected by hand and in several locations
and in some instances, multiple samples were collected from a
single outcrop to understand the variability of the material.
• These are apparent as the true orientation of the outcrops are not
fully known yet where outcrop has been sampled. The visual
estimates here are of the thickness of the outcrop only.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• No drilling results are reported and is not applicable.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• No drilling results are reported and is not applicable.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
• Basic descriptions of the outcrops were made in the field by Dart
geologist which include observations of minerals, oxidation,
13
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
gossanous features, and orientation of the outcropping units where
possible. These logs are sufficient to support the preliminary nature
of assessing the outcrops.
• The logging is qualitative in nature of the rock chip samples.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.
• No field sub sampling has been undertaken on the samples. Whole
rocks were submitted to the laboratory for standard crushing and
pulverizing with the laboratory taking representative sub-samples as
required for analysis as per their accredited protocols.
• The sampling technique is appropriate for the sample type and
material sampled. The rocks are crushed to -2mm and then
pulverized to -75um for multi element acid digest and 50g fire assay
for gold analysis.
• Sub-sampling QAQC is not applicable to this announcement.
• Samples are selectively taken from outcrops or float material. The
samples represent rock chips that are of geological interest for a
variety of reasons including minerals, shape, colour and alteration
presented to the sampler. The sampling is not representative of the
entire outcrops intercepted in the field, but rather to confirm if the
outcrops are mineralised and confirm visual observations of
sulphides.
• Sample sizes are appropriate for the analysis proposed and the
master pulp after pulverization and initial analysis should be
sufficient for additional testing if required.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc,
the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
• Assay results and laboratory procedures used are representative
sub-samples of the total sample mass and considered suitable for
rock chip samples.
• No independent quality control samples were used considering
these samples represent initial reconnaissance sampling. ALS
Geochemistry routing QAQC standards and blanks were reported
and within tolerances.
Verification
of sampling
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
• No drilling is defined in this announcement.
14
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
and
assaying
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• Logging and photographs of the samples were completed by Dart’s
field geologist. These photos and logs were reviewed by the
Competent Person prior to submission to the laboratory. The
Competent Person was present on site during sampling.
• No data entry is performed and upon review of the samples
spatially, they reconcile with the planned coordinates provided to
the field team.
Location of
data points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• The location of the samples were recorded with a dGPS system.
• The grid system used is GDA94 MGA Zone 56.
• Topographic control is not applicable given the samples were
collected from outcrop.
Data spacing
and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• The samples reported in this announcement were collected
randomly from outcrop or float/mullock piles which were available
to sample on surface.
• No compositing has been applied.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a
sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
• The rockchip samples were collected at the discretion of the field
geologist on site and are selective in nature.
• No drilling results are reported.
Sample
security
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Samples were kept in the custody of Dart employees and delivered
directly to ALS Geochemistry in Gladstone.
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. • No audits or reviews have been completed of sampling techniques.
