Product description:AbstractThis report covers the Rediscover Victoria Drilling program (RVD3) diamond holes DUN0DD004 (391.9m), DUNDD004A (508.7m) and DUNDD005 (574m) and Phase 2 diamond hole DUNDD006. The RVD3 sector of this Phase 2 drilling program at Mt Unicorn was supported by a State Government grant of $80,000 awarded in Round 3 of the Rediscover Victoria Drilling program. Three Rediscover Victoria Drilling programs, RVD 1 to 3, have contributed significantly to the geological understanding of the Mammoth, Mt Morgan and Unicorn’s transition/base and precious metal porphyries and wider regional porphyry potentials. The RVD program has assisted in defining the Unicorn’s molybdenum porphyry as the first true back arc Climax style porphyry in Australia and further uncovered its hybrid Mo-Cu-Ag arc chalcophyle affinities. Mt Unicorn Mo-Cu-Ag porphyry prospect is located some 20km south of the Corryong Township in NE Victoria (Figures 1.0). Dart’s tenements comprise some 2,400 square km in a well serviced and supportive community environment in the border region of NE Victoria, 120km east of Albury-Wodonga. Corryong is the principal town centred in the northern sector of the EL’s (Figure 1.4). Dart’s NE border region tenements cover prime metallogenic porphyry settings within a vastly underexplored region, combined with excellent regional services. Dart is poised to capture this potential with new regional field initiatives underway. This effort is spearheaded by the Mt Unicorn Mo-Cu-Ag porphyry discovery supported by the Mt Morgan, Mammoth-Donovan Hill and Reward Copper porphyry prospects; a rich complement of underexplored molybdenum and base-precious polymetallic porphyries and PVM defined exploration zones for which diagnostic regional porphyry RAD/MAG/SWIR attributes have been developed. PVM modelling combined with hydrogeochemistry has uncovered the Boebuck and Bunroy projects, in a similar way PVM modelling and hydrogeochemistry focused attention to the NW slopes of Unicorn which lead to Unicorn’s ‘DUN’ geochemical grid and subsequently very large Mo anomalies were located in silica rocks and elucidation of the porphyry rhyolite/QFP dome followed on the NW ridge. Discovery of bismuth and tellurium encircling the entire grid were recognised as vectoring the system. Previously the geological survey of Victoria had mapped and noted silicification in an area termed the ‘Falls’, recognised now as part of the Southern Collapse Breccia zone bounding a northern Mo porphyry system.
