Undrilled Zones at Triumph Confirmed by Dart’s High-Grade Sampling—Resource Upside Ahead

High-Grade Rock Chips Reinforce Triumph's Potential

Dart Mining NL has reported compelling results from its December 2024 rock chip sampling at the Triumph Gold Project in Queensland. The assays highlight high-grade gold and silver values, with standout samples including 9.9 g/t gold, 125 g/t silver, and notable lead concentrations. These findings not only validate historical rock chip data but also underscore the untapped potential of undrilled zones within the project's Southern Corridor.

The rock chips exhibit veins containing fresh sulphides and iron oxides, with anomalous lead and antimony levels detected, suggesting robust mineralisation pathways. This geochemical signature is particularly promising as it may serve as a pathfinder for future exploration efforts, enhancing Dart's targeting precision.

Strategic Integration into Drilling Programs

Building on these results, Dart plans to incorporate the newly confirmed targets into its 2025 drilling schedule. The company is already progressing with a 7,000-metre Phase 1 exploration program focused on high-priority targets at the Constitution Prospect. This dual approach of expanding known resource areas while pursuing greenfield opportunities reflects a balanced strategy to grow the resource base.

Chairman James Chirnside emphasized the significance of the silver and lead associations with gold, noting their potential to refine exploration methodologies. The ongoing drilling and forthcoming resource update, expected early this year, aim to deepen understanding of the mineralisation and unlock further value.

Context Within the Triumph Gold Project

The Triumph Gold Project, Dart's inaugural advanced intrusion-related gold system venture, covers a substantial 137.6 square kilometres in Queensland's Yarrol belt. The project hosts a current inferred resource of approximately 118,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 2.0 g/t, predominantly near surface and within a 6-kilometre structural corridor.

Historical exploration by other parties, including Metal Bank and Roar Resources, has identified high-grade zones exceeding 50 g/t gold in rock chips, reinforcing the project's prospectivity. Dart's recent sampling aligns with these findings and supports the thesis that significant mineralisation remains untested, particularly at depth and along strike.

Looking Ahead: Resource Growth and Exploration Expansion

With the resource update on the horizon and an active drilling campaign underway, Dart Mining is positioning itself to capitalize on the Triumph Project's growth potential. The company also signals intent to explore additional advanced projects in Central Queensland and to consider strategic acquisitions or joint ventures, broadening its regional footprint.

The integration of geological observations, geochemical assays, and structural interpretations from oriented diamond drilling is expected to enhance the understanding of mineralised veins and potentially reveal high-grade shoots. This could materially impact the project's economic viability and future development pathways.
