Dart Mining Drilling Confirms Key Rushworth Mineral System Model

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Dart Mining (ASX: DTM) recently completed a Phase 2 diamond drilling campaign within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Rushworth gold tenement package in Victoria.

Dart Mining reported the first results from the Phase 2 diamond drilling program undertaken at Star of the West and Henry Horne prospects, which it sad had confirmed the company’s Mineral Systems Model of the Rushworth Goldfield, with sulphide mineralisation presenting as a key identifier for potential high-grade structures.

The company highlighted results achieved in hole SWDD004 that intersected several zones of sulphide mineralisation surrounding large structures, returning:

An intersection of 0.24 metres at 8.8 grams per tonne gold, from 56.2m downhole from within a broad zone of sulphide mineralisation returning 7.1m at 0.75g/t gold from 50.8m.

A further intersection of 3.6m at 0.44g/t gold, from 161.8m encountered sulphide mineralisation including pyrite, cubic pyrrhotite and acicular arsenopyrite, including two higher grade sections of 0.2m at 2.87g/t gold and 0.3m at 1.45g/t gold.

“Receiving high-grade results from reef structures within zones of gold bearing sulphide mineralisation is a key step to refining our mineral systems model of the project,” Dart Mining chairman James Chirnside said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Today’s results confirm our optimism surrounding the results from a potential stacked reef system at Growlers Hill and add a second prospective target zone within 500m at the Star of the West prospect.

“Importantly we are just getting started, with the Growlers Hill and Star of the West prospects being the first two targets drill tested, on a long list.

“Drilling remains ongoing, and we are very pleased at the penetration rates and overall rate of progress.”
