▼(-15.00% Downside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:02/21/26
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance—zero revenue in the latest year, widening losses, and persistent negative operating/free cash flow—despite the benefit of having no debt. Technical indicators are broadly neutral-to-soft (below key short-term averages with negative MACD), and valuation support is limited due to loss-making earnings and no dividend yield data.
Positive Factors
Low leverage / balance sheet flexibility
Zero reported debt gives the company structural financial flexibility: it lowers fixed financing costs and reduces default risk, enabling management to prioritize exploration spend or negotiate joint ventures without interest burdens. This durability supports operations over months while projects advance.
Focused exploration business model
A clear, focused exploration mandate—gold and base metals in Australia—provides durable strategic clarity. It concentrates technical expertise and tenement management, aligns with stable Australian mining frameworks, and improves the chance of value-creating mineral discoveries or transaction exits over the medium term.
Lean operating footprint
A very small employee base implies a lean overhead structure, allowing a larger share of capital to be directed to field programs. For an explorer, low fixed costs extend cash runway and reduce pressure to monetize projects quickly, which is a durable operational advantage while drilling and permits progress.
Negative Factors
Zero revenue and large net losses
No revenue and an expanding net loss are structural concerns: without operating income the firm must rely on external capital to continue exploration. Persistent losses erode equity, increase dilution risk when raising funds, and constrain the company’s ability to advance multiple targets simultaneously over months.
Consistent negative operating and free cash flow
Ongoing negative operating and free cash flow indicate core activities destroy cash rather than generate it. This creates a durable funding dependency: management must secure equity or JV funding to sustain programs, which raises execution risk and can delay or scale back exploration plans.
Eroding shareholder value and weak ROE
A severely negative return on equity signals capital destruction and undermines investor confidence. Over time, weak ROE makes it harder to attract strategic partners or favorable financing, increases the cost of new capital, and heightens the risk that ongoing losses will materially dilute existing shareholders.

Dart Mining NL Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionDart Mining NL engages in the exploration of gold and base metal in Australia. The company primarily explores for lithium, silver, copper, molybdenum, zinc, tungsten, tin, and tantalum ores. Its flagship project is the Granite Flat located between Mitta Mitta and Glen Wills. The company was incorporated in 2006 and is based in Tallangatta, Australia.
How the Company Makes MoneyDart Mining NL makes money primarily through the exploration and potential development of mineral resources. The company's revenue model is centered on identifying promising mineral deposits and advancing these projects through exploration and feasibility studies. Revenue is generated through the sale of mineral rights, joint ventures, and partnerships with larger mining companies who have the capital and expertise to develop these resources into operational mines. Additionally, Dart Mining may earn income from government grants or incentives aimed at promoting mineral exploration. The company's earnings are significantly influenced by factors such as commodity prices, exploration success, and strategic partnerships with other industry participants.

Dart Mining NL Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall financials are weak: the income statement shows a loss-making profile with the latest year deteriorating sharply (revenue falling to zero and net loss expanding to ~11.6M). Cash flow is also consistently negative with ongoing cash burn. The main offset is balance-sheet resilience from having no debt, but recurring losses are eroding equity strength.
Income Statement
9
Very Negative
The company remains in a loss-making profile with negative operating results across the period, and the latest year shows a sharp deterioration with net loss expanding to ~11.6M while revenue fell to zero (down 100% vs. the prior year). Profitability is consistently weak, with gross profit and operating profit negative in most years, indicating limited ability to cover the cost base from revenue. A positive point is that revenue did spike in 2024 versus a very low 2023 base, but the trend is not sustained and earnings volatility is extremely high.
Balance Sheet
62
Positive
The balance sheet is conservatively positioned from a leverage standpoint, with no debt reported and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.0 across all years, which lowers financial risk and improves flexibility. However, recurring net losses are eroding shareholder value over time, highlighted by consistently negative returns on equity and a very weak latest-year return on equity (~-75%). Overall, the company has balance-sheet resilience due to low leverage, but profitability pressure is a clear risk to longer-term equity strength.
Cash Flow
18
Very Negative
Cash generation is weak, with operating cash flow negative every year and free cash flow also consistently negative, implying ongoing cash burn to sustain operations. The latest year shows further pressure as free cash flow declined versus the prior year (free cash flow growth ~-68.6%), reinforcing funding risk if conditions persist. While free cash flow appears larger than net loss in some years (reflecting non-cash charges and timing effects), the core issue remains: the business is not producing positive operating cash flow.

Dart Mining Expands Queensland Portfolio With Skarn Ridge Copper-Gold-Graphite Acquisition
Feb 10, 2026

Dart Mining NL has acquired the Skarn Ridge Copper-Gold and Mt Bauple Graphite Project in southeastern Queensland from private group FFM for AUD 25,000, adding two exploration permit areas to its portfolio. The project lies within the mineral-rich Mt Perry–Electra Fault Zone and early work, including historic drilling and rock chip sampling, indicates copper, gold, and silver mineralisation with visible chalcopyrite and bornite.

The acquisition strengthens Dart Mining’s strategic focus on central and southeast Queensland, giving it four projects within a 300-kilometre radius and bolstering its pipeline beyond its more advanced Triumph and Coonambula assets. Management characterises Skarn Ridge as a low-cost, early-stage addition that could enhance the company’s longer-term growth options if further exploration confirms its copper, gold, and graphite potential.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:DTM) stock is a Sell with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Dart Mining NL stock, see the AU:DTM Stock Forecast page.

Dart Mining Expands Triumph Gold Potential With New Exploration Target and Wider Mineralised Zone
Jan 30, 2026

Dart Mining NL reported a significant step-up in its Triumph Gold Project in Victoria, declaring an exploration target of 5.1–7.6 million tonnes at 1.72–2.52 grams per tonne gold, equating to 285,100–613,200 ounces, with a base case of 6.9 million tonnes at 2.29 grams per tonne for about 506,800 ounces. This new exploration target sits alongside an existing JORC mineral resource of 2.16 million tonnes at 2.17 grams per tonne for 150,000 ounces, and is largely defined by drilling in close proximity to the current resource, with most material potentially amenable to open-pit mining. During the quarter, Dart completed 2,761 metres of diamond drilling at Triumph, with final assays from deep hole TRDD014 confirming high-grade gold and silver intersections and demonstrating that mineralisation extends at depth and widens to create a 170-metre-wide mineralised zone at New Constitution. The discovery of multiple new parallel lodes and broad mineralised zones materially reinforces the scale and quality potential of Triumph, improving Dart Mining’s growth outlook and strengthening the project’s strategic importance within its exploration portfolio.

Dart Mining Flags Strong Gold Intercepts and Structural Targets at Rushworth’s Phoenix Reef
Dec 23, 2025

Dart Mining NL has reported interim results from its 2024 diamond drilling program at the Phoenix Reef prospect within the Rushworth project in Victoria, confirming wide gold-mineralised lodes within a stacked system linked to a ruptured anticline. Significant intercepts included 12.8 metres at 1.75 g/t gold in hole PXDD006 and multiple narrower high-grade zones above 3 g/t gold, while the discovery of large, previously unknown underground workings suggests historic extraction of a higher-grade core but leaves a surrounding halo of gold mineralisation that remains prospective. The new structural interpretation, including evidence of substantial fault movement and multiple step-fault targets, reinforces the project’s exploration upside and underpins Dart Mining’s plan to resume drilling in 2026, with potential implications for the scale and continuity of gold resources at Rushworth.

Record Gold Grades Found at Coonambula Project
Dec 15, 2025

Dart Mining NL, in collaboration with Great Divide Mining Ltd, has reported the highest gold grades ever recorded at the Banshee Antimony Mine within the Coonambula Antimony–Gold Project in Central Queensland. This significant discovery underscores the potential of the Coonambula site to host a large antimony-gold system, enhancing the project’s value and positioning in the mining industry. The joint venture agreement allows Dart Mining to earn up to a 51% interest in the project by meeting specific drilling and reporting milestones, with further results anticipated in the coming months.

Dart Mining Reports Record Gold Assay Results at Banshee Mine
Dec 15, 2025

Dart Mining NL has announced the highest gold assay results to date from the Banshee antimony mine, part of the Coonambula project in Central Queensland.
