Dart Mining NL (ASX:DTM) is a metals and mining company based in Melbourne, Australia. Currently, the company is focusing on Lithium, Porphyry and Gold exploration and development.
On 19th March 2019, the company announced that it had obtained all the required approvals for roadside drilling at the Eagle and Hollow Way dykes in NE, Victoria. Consequently, a drill contractor has already been appointed and the drilling work is scheduled to commence in the next five days.Â
The company also stated that Hollow Way Dyke target would be tested by 5 Reverse Circulation holes and the Eagle Dyke target would be tested by up to 3 holes. This initial drilling program will help to conduct a preliminary assessment of the dyke targets and more importantly expensive vegetation offset would not be required due to the use of existing road access.
Surface chip sampling has also been done at the Hollow Way Dyke target which resulted up to 10m @ 1.37% Li2O from a dyke containing coarse petalite and the Eagle Dyke target shows up to 10m @ 0.94% Li2O with fine spodumene identified as the main lithium mineral. It is a significant milestone in the evaluation of such a large, new Victorian lithium province which is first identified by Dart Mining.

The company reported a total loss of $604,416 in 1HFY19 which was significantly lower than the previously reported loss of $1.78 million in 1HFY18.
