Dart Mining (ASX:DTM) is moving forward with drill testing at the New Constitution and South Constitution prospects of the Triumph Project after identifying stacked mineralised lodes from ongoing drilling.
The company has reported nine new lodes along known mineralisation, each with a one gram per tonne cut-off of gold and anomalous with silver and arsenic.
Drill testing will be conducted over the nine new mineralised zones at depths up to 450m to test structural and step out concepts and further understand the prospectivity of the project.
A greater diamond core drilling program spanning 12 drillholes over 1,906m at the New Constitution, South Constitution, and Big Hans prospects has now been completed, with assays from the first 10 drillholes returned.
Results include 10.5m @ 2.63g/t gold, 12.21g/t silver, and 1.94% zinc from 68.6m at drillhole TRDD001A including 3.1m @ 7.42g/t gold, 25.42g/t silver, and 6.37% zinc from 75.5m.
Chairman James Chirnside says intercepting lodes from recent drilling is impactful for the company, while it continues to intersect known mineralised structures.
“These lodes are both on the hanging wall and footwall sides of the New Constitution and South Constitution systems and drilling confirms a strike length akin to the existing resource,” Chirnside says.
“Importantly, drilling is not only confirming known resources, but also pointing to resource upgrades, due to new parallel lodes being discovered.”
Dart Mining is currently in the process of constructing an exploration target statement for the Triumph Project on the tail of the preliminary results, which intends to demonstrate the scale and significance of the intrusion-related gold exploration.
Dart Mining is an Australian explorer that is focused on unearthing precious and critical minerals along the east coast.
