Dart Mining Strikes Record Gold Grades at Triumph, Unlocking New Depths
Dart Mining NL has reported its highest-grade drill intercepts to date at the Triumph Gold Project, including a standout 0.3m intercept grading 114 g/t gold. These results confirm and extend mineralisation at the Big Hans prospect, underscoring significant exploration upside.
- Record 0.3m intercept at 114 g/t gold and 276 g/t silver in drill hole TRDD012
- Significant high-grade extensions confirmed at Big Hans prospect
- New lodes identified beyond current Mineral Resource Estimate
- Diamond drilling highlights mineralisation open at depth and along strike
- Plans underway for further drilling and a forthcoming Exploration Target
Record-Breaking Drill Results
Dart Mining NL has announced a major milestone in its ongoing diamond drilling campaign at the Triumph Gold Project in Queensland. The company reported its highest-grade drill intercepts to date, including a remarkable 0.3 metre section grading 114 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 276 g/t silver from drill hole TRDD012. This intercept not only sets a new benchmark for the project but also validates Dart’s exploration model that mineralisation continues at depth and along strike.
Extending the Big Hans Prospect
The recent drilling focused on the southern extensions of the Big Hans prospect, a key area within the Triumph project. Results from holes TRDD011 and TRDD012 confirmed significant mineralisation beyond the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), with wide zones of high-grade gold and silver. Notably, TRDD011 intercepted 10.8 metres at 1.17 g/t gold, including higher-grade sub-intervals, while TRDD012 delivered multiple high-grade zones including 4.4 metres at 8.99 g/t gold.
New Lodes and Structural Insights
Beyond confirming extensions to known mineralisation, the drilling program uncovered several new lodes not previously included in the MRE. These discoveries open up fresh exploration targets and potential resource growth. The use of diamond drilling has allowed Dart’s technical team to collect detailed structural data, revealing that mineralisation is hosted within key structural corridors and is open at depth. The company is particularly interested in bridging the 200-metre gap between Big Hans and the adjacent Super Hans prospect, which could establish a continuous mineralised corridor.
Strategic Next Steps
Dart Mining plans to continue its diamond drilling program to test the depth potential beneath the Southern Mineralised Corridor and other anomalies. The company aims to expand the existing resources both along strike and at depth, with a high-quality Exploration Target expected to be announced in the coming quarter. Additionally, regional exploration efforts will target bulk tonnage opportunities and other prospective zones within the project area. Dart is also evaluating further advanced projects in Central Queensland for potential acquisition or joint ventures.
Context Within the Queensland Gold Belt
The Triumph Gold Project is situated within the Yarrol belt of the Wandilla Province, hosting an intrusion-related gold system characterised by quartz-sulphide veins with associated pyrite and arsenopyrite. The current inferred resource stands at approximately 150,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 2.17 g/t, largely near surface. The recent drilling results highlight the substantial upside potential at depth, where limited historical drilling has been conducted.
Bottom Line?
Dart Mining’s record drill results at Triumph signal a promising new chapter in resource growth and exploration potential.
Questions in the middle?
- Will infill drilling between Big Hans and Super Hans confirm a continuous mineralised corridor?
- How economically viable are the newly discovered deeper lodes for potential underground mining?
- What impact will the forthcoming Exploration Target have on the project’s valuation and development timeline?
