Dart Mining NL announced that the SQM-Dart Mining Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has been created and has initiated forward progress and work program development on Dart Mining's Dorchap Lithium project in Northeast Victoria. Formation of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), containing representatives from Dart Mining and Sociedad Qufmica y Minera de Chile S. A (SQM) is an essential first step in reviewing the project and the work programs for the development of exploration targets. The TAC has jointly outlined an initial six-month exploration work program.

This exploration program will comprise surface rock chip sampling from prospective pegmatites identified in LiDAR data, run in tandem with an initial diamond drill program to assess previously identified, roadside and near-road side lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes. Rock chip sampling has commenced, and the company is currently undergoing the permitting and approvals process to begin a low impact exploration diamond drilling assessment of accessible lithium-bearing targets, scheduled to begin in 2023. Additionally, Dart Mining has received notification from Earth Resources Regulation Victoria that exploration licences EL5315 (Mitta), EL006277 (Empress), and EL006300 (Eskdale) have each been renewed for a period of five years, providing assurance of tenure across the Dorchap Lithium Project.
