ASX Release
29 October 2025
ANTIMONY MINERALISATION EXTENSIONS HIGHLIGHTED BY PRELIMINARY IP
SURVEY INTERPRETATION AT COONAMBULA
Dart Mining NL (ASX:DTM) (Dart Mining or the Company) is pleased to announce preliminary results
and interpretation from the CEI Funded IP Survey under way at the Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project
located in Central Queensland. The project is a Farm-In Joint Venture agreement with Great Divide
Mining (ASX:GDM) (ASX: DTM Mar 2025).
HIGHLIGHTS
• The Banshee mineralised trend is being highlighted by a subtle chargeability response around
7173850N (Figure 1).
• The chargeability response extends to the east beyond the extents of the historical drilling.
• At the western end the chargeable zone appears to be offset to the north suggesting a possible
fault offsetting the system and strike extension to the west (Figure 2).
Figure 1: Preliminary Pseudo-section of line 292000E showing interpreted main Banshee trend chargeability anomaly at
7173850N and secondary high response at 7174000N.
Dart Mining’s Chairman, James Chirnside, commented: “The indication of strike extensions of the
main Banshee Mine trend is an important outcome from the IP Survey. The preliminary
interpretation results give us confidence to continue to step out the drilling, looking to increase the
strike length of mineralisation. The possible identification of the offset of the Banshee Mine trend is
also an exciting development. We are particularly eager to drill test the zone at the first opportunity.
The Queensland Government grant that funded this survey has worked out to be very timely in the
context of the current global focus on critical minerals”

The detailed IP survey has been undertaken to explore the Banshee Antimony-Gold (Sb-Au) prospect
for significant zones of buried Sb-Au mineralisation at depth and along strike from known Sb-Au at
the Banshee mine site.
The survey includes 15 x 800 m long North-South oriented survey lines, 100m apart covering 1400m
of strike length across the E-W Banshee structure. The IP survey lines are shown in Figure 2 below,
and are also shown on an image of the 2012 Gradient Array IP survey in Figure 3. This old IP survey
completed by Queensland Ores was not optimally configured to detect narrow sub-vertical targets.
The new detailed IP survey involves a different configuration (dipole-dipole with 25 m dipole spacing)
and has been designed to better detect the quartz vein hosted mineralisation down to approximately
200 m depth and along strike (1400 m strike length).
Petrophysical test work on historical diamond drill core determined the Antimony-Gold
mineralisation has significantly higher resistivity and chargeability values, compared to the host
rocks. Induced Polarisation (IP) forward modelling studies indicated that detailed dipole-dipole
Induced Polarisation (IP) at 25m dipole spacing is an effective exploration tool that will identify zones
of Sb-Au mineralisation at depth and along strike.

COONAMBULA ANTIMONY-GOLD PROJECT
The Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project (Coonambula or Project) is located approximately 390km by
road north-northwest of Brisbane, Queensland. Coonambula is 70km southeast of the multi-million-
ounce Cracow gold mine and 25km southwest of the Eidsvold goldfield (Figure 4). The Project is
comprised of five granted Exploration Permits: EPM 15203, EPM 16216, EPM 25260, EPM 26743 and
EPM 28433 covering 282 sq.km., and application EPM 29186 covering an area of 227sq.km.
Figure 4: Project Location Plan.
Project Highlights:
• Highlights from 2014 drilling as per the GDM Prospectus (ASX: GDM Prospectus 2023):
o 3m @ 9.18% Sb in hole CNRC03 from 158m including 1m @ 20% Sb from 158m
o 6m @ 5.12% Sb & 1.55g/t Au in hole CNRC04 from 77m
o 3m @ 1.50% Sb & 8.53g/t Au in hole CNRC05 from 18m
• Dart Mining rock chip sampling revealed high grade antimony, gold and silver (ASX: DTM Oct
2025) Assays received across 9 samples of float and in situ veins across the historic Banshee
antimony mine area include:
o Antimony results up to 65.3% Sb and 55.5% Sb
o Gold grades up to 17.0g/t Au and 15.05g/t Au
o Silver assays up to 97.9g/t AG and 66.7g/t Ag
• Surface trenching includes 4m@ 3.09g/t Au and 1.14% Sb and 1m @ 6.15 g/t Au and 3.1% Sb.
While trenching, selective rock chips returned 3.65g/t Au with 23.9% Sb, and 9.93g/t Au with
7.56% Sb (ASX: GDM Nov 2024) - Figure 6.

Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations
or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or
deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations
Geology – New England Fold Belt geology hosts high grade quartz veins containing Sb-Au at Hillgrove
and Wild Cattle Creek in NSW, and Antimony at Neardie near Gympie QLD. Mineralisation at
Coonambula is hosted within intrusive granodiorites and holds the potential to host a large intrusion
related gold system, with attractive magnetic signature and structural geology.
Two distinct types of reef mineralisation occur: Gold associated with arsenopyrite in quartz and high-
grade antimony with calcite in quartz. Disseminated stibnite is recorded in the gold lodes (Malnic,
1985).
Banshee is one of the largest historical antimony mining complexes in Central Queensland, located
70km Southeast of the Cracow gold mine and 25km SW of Eidsvold. Banshee is a historic high-grade
direct shipping ore antimony mine (worked variously between 1876 and 1983, The Banshee Mine
when reopened in 1983 produced 20t of ore containing 4t of Antimony (GDM Prospectus 2023). Prior
to the current Dart Mining drill program, only 12 RC and 1 diamond drill hole had been drilled over
650m of strike length at Banshee.
Directly east of Banshee lies another Antimony-Gold prospect called Lady Mary (previously called
Lady May). This prospect lies 1km along strike from Banshee, potentially along the same E-W Banshee
structure. Surface rock chip samples from old mine dumps at Lady Mary have returned up to 49.6%
Sb and 1.3 g/t Au (GDM Sep 2024). The area between Banshee and Lady Mary has not yet been
explored and is a high priority target being assessed by the current IP survey.
The Perseverance mine was mined to 132m depth with mining widths up to 10m wide (GDM
Prospectus 2023). Past production of gold from the mine was reported as 20kt @ 20g/t Au (Malnic,
1985) however only 3 drill holes have been completed to date.
6 | P a g e
Total strike of the prospective antimony-gold-silver zone is approximately 5km with historic mines
either side of Banshee (Figure 7). Lady Mary is located 900m east of Banshee with additional historic
mines occurring some 3km west of Banshee giving a potential E-W strike of 5km. Individual high grade
antimony shoots are interpreted as having a strike length of 30-100m each based upon Banshee
drilling where 3 shoots of this length exist in the central core zone.
In GDM’s 2023 prospectus (GDM Prospectus 2023) consulting company Derisk stated that it: “Considers
that the Coonambula project tenements are prospective for mesothermal vein and stockwork gold
and gold-antimony deposits, as well as intrusion-related and epithermal gold deposits. Most work at
this project has focused on areas in and around historical mine workings. Derisk considers there is
potential to define extensions or repetitions of known mineralisation at some of the historical
workings. There is also potential to discover new mineralisation but exploration for these targets is at
a very early stage.”

About Dart Mining
The Triumph Gold Project 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 is farming into the Coonambula Antimony-Gold Project in Central
Queensland. 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. Dart Mining has built a strategic and
highly prospective gold exploration portfolio in Central and Northeast regions of Victoria, where historic
surface and alluvial gold mining indicates the existence of potentially large gold endowment.

Great Divide Mining Ltd (GDM),
namely GDM Coonambula Pty Ltd
and GDM Yellow Jack Pty Ltd. Dart
Mining Ltd has a joint venture
agreement (Coonambula Joint
Venture) to complete exploration
works on the EPMs.
Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
• Historical exploration in the
Coonambula area has been
undertaken by a number of
parties since the 1970s, primarily
targeting epithermal-style gold
and base metal mineralisation.
• Work included regional geological
mapping, soil and rock chip
geochemistry, and limited
geophysical surveys. More
detailed exploration was carried
out in the early 2000s by junior
explorers, with emphasis on gold
and antimony mineralisation
associated with quartz veining.
• In 2013–2014, drilling programs
were completed at the Banshee
prospect under the direction of
Paul Byrne. These programs
tested near-surface quartz–
sulphide veining and returned
anomalous gold and antimony
results.
• Data from these programs,
including drill collar locations,
assay results, and geological logs
15 | P a g e
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
which were reported to the ASX
by GDM
• Trenching programs were
completed across the Banshee
prospect to test surface
geochemical anomalies and
quartz–sulphide veining. These
trenches exposed mineralised
structures and returned
anomalous gold and antimony
values, providing key targets for
subsequent drilling. The trenches
themselves are historic
(pre‑GDM), but GDM sampled and
reported those trenches in 2024.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
• The Coonambula Project is
located ~25 km southwest of
Eidsvold in southeast Queensland,
within the northern New England
Orogen.
• Bedrock geology is dominated by
Carboniferous to Permian–Triassic
granitoid intrusions of the
Rawbelle Batholith, intruding
older metasedimentary
sequences.
• Mineralisation at the Banshee
Prospect is hosted within east–
west trending shear zones and
lodes developed in and adjacent
to the granitoid intrusives.
• The Banshee system is
characterised by antimony–gold
(Sb–Au) mineralisation, with
geological similarities to the
Hillgrove Sb–Au deposit in New
South Wales.
• Mineralisation occurs as stibnite ±
quartz veins and breccia zones,
with associated gold enrichment.
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information
material to the understanding of
the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of
the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced
Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the
drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the
hole
• No Drilling intercepts have been
reported
16 | P a g e
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
o down hole length and
interception depth
o hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information
is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report,
the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the
case.
Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
• No data aggregation methods
have been applied.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
• These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement
to this effect (eg ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
• No Drilling intercepts have been
reported
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but
not be limited to a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
• Included in the body of the
announcement.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of
all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
• All mineralisation intersected in
the completed hole has been
included
Other
substantive
exploration
data
• Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not
limited to): geological
