Dart Mining (ASX:DTM) has delivered the highest grade drill intercept to date from its diamond drilling program at the Big Hans prospect, within the Triumph Gold Project in Queensland.
Up to 114 grams per tonne gold was returned, recording the first intercept above 100g/t gold. The result confirms Dart’s exploration model of mineralisation continuing at depth, with key structural areas hosting wide, high-grade mineralisation.
Hole TRDD012 returned 4.4m @ 8.99g/t gold and 28.09g/t silver from 171.3m, including 0.3m @ 114g/t gold and 276g/t silver from 171.3m.
Other results from drillhole TRDD011 include 10.8m @ 1.17g/t gold from 86.5m, including 0.5m @ 16.15g/t gold and 22.5g/t silver from 87m.
Chairman James Chirnside says the results are an important milestone in Dart’s diamond drilling program which confirms and extends existing mineralisation zones.
“TRDD012 has provided some exceptional numbers that are a direct extension to the mineral resource model and show the exciting depth potential of Triumph,” Chirnside says.
“The diamond drilling program has highlighted the critical nature of the structural information where, before in the absence of structural feedback, targeting is now becoming more refined.
“Dart’s technical team are working on how these southern extensions link together and I am very keen to see if we can discover a connected corridor between prospects Big Hans and Super Hans as we progress the interpretation.”
To date, 13 holes for 2,475m have been completed within Triumph. The program aims to provide further information down plunge extension at depth to the south of the Big Hans prospect, as well as test the depth potential of the project in key structural areas.
At Triumph, Dart plans to drill test depth potential beneath the southern mineralised corridor and chargeability anomaly to the northwest of the New Constitution prospect.
Diamond drilling will continue to expand the existing resources along strike and at depth.
In Q3 2025, the company will complete an exploration target for Triumph based upon existing drilling in areas where this drilling does not yet have the required density to proclaim a resource.
Further, Dart will conduct regional exploration, targeting the Triumph area, as well as testing bulk tonnage targets including those at depth. In conjunction, Dart will review and identify additional prospective target zones for exploration in addition to existing resource areas.
The company notes it will also continue to review and identify further advanced projects throughout Central Queensland for potential acquisition and joint venture opportunities.
The Triumph Gold Project, located in the highly prospective New England Fold Belt of southeast Queensland, covers a structurally complex area with multiple intrusive-related gold targets, supported by widespread geochemical anomalies and historical workings.
Dart Mining is a mineral explorer focused on discovering precious and critical metals in Eastern Australia.
