Dart Mining (ASX:DTM) reported initial observations from a recent field reconnaissance at its 100% owned Tallandoon Antimony prospects in North East Victoria.
The company's exploration licences, EL006300 & EL007754, cover the area where significant mineralisation has been found. Grab samples from the historic "Carry On" and "The Antimony Mine" have revealed substantial antimony mineralisation.
Visual inspections indicate stibnite presence, with initial portable X-ray fluorescence results confirming elevated antimony levels.
Additionally, 20 samples have been submitted for comprehensive multi-element analysis.
"Field activities conducted at the Tallandoon Historic Goldfield reconfirm the prospectivity of the Tallandoon area as a very prospective region for antimony mineralisation," said James Chirnside, Chairman of Dart Mining.
The company eagerly awaits the assay results to confirm the concentration of antimony, following positive Antimony identification from initial pXRF results," Chirnside added.
The reconnaissance included mapping and sampling over two days, focusing on waste dumps around the historic mines.
Samples 217566 and 217558 showed significant stibnite mineralisation within quartz rock, supporting previous grab sampling by Dart Mining which returned 6.48% Sb in 2020.
The Tallandoon Antimony prospect, an area of historical mining, underscores the region’s potential for antimony deposits.
Dart Mining will continue its evaluation, seeking to uncover further strategic and precious metals in Central and Northeast Victoria.
Dart Mining holds an extensive and diverse exploration tenement portfolio throughout northeast Victoria, along the highly prospective and geologically significant central Lachlan Fold Belt.
The company is focused on mineral exploration activities in lithium-cesium-tantal pegmatites, orogenic gold, and base metal porphyry targets.
At the time of reporting, Dart Mining’s share price was $0.0.15.
