No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item of business. Shareholders may also submit a written question to the auditor provided that the question relates to:
-
the content of the auditor’s report; or
-
the conduct of the audit in relation to the financial report.

The auditor will attend the Meeting and will answer written questions submitted prior to the Meeting.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to any Shareholder unless specifically requested by an individual Shareholder to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.datelineresources.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that, at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted be put to shareholders. Section 250(R)(2) further provides that, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the listed company or its directors.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
If at least 25% or more of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the listed company will be required (at that second annual general meeting) to put to shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting at which all of the directors (other than the managing director) must go up for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the listed company must convene the extraordinary general meeting to consider the Spill Resolution ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
5
All of the directors who were in office when the directors’ report was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors is approved will be the directors.
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.4
Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
-
(a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy:
-
you must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution .
-
(b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member):
-
you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .
-
(c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy:
you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may seek shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital through placements in the 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the eligible entity’s “normal” 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million or less.
The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300 million.
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the 12 month period following the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an eligible entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities comprising the 10% Placement Capacity in addition to those under the eligible entity’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.1 provides that Shareholder approval obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity applies for the period commencing on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; and
-
the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
Shareholder approval was first obtained under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 29 November 2013 and the Company has obtained approval under that on multiple occasions since that time.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.1, Shareholder approval, if it is given at this Meeting, will expire on 26 November 2025. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12-month period following this Meeting, by way of Resolution 3.
The Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: DTR) and Options (ASX Code: DTRO).
7
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) - E
Where:
-
A = the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
(i) plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus, the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus, the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
D = 10%.
-
E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
4.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information set out below is provided in relation to Resolution 3.
Period approval valid
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the 10% Placement Capacity will be available to the Company from the date of the Meeting until the first of the following to occur:
-
12 months after the date of the Meeting (which is 26 November 2024); and
-
the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
Minimum price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date referred to immediately above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in order to raise funds for general working capital purposes, for exploration and development purposes in relation to its existing US-based gold and rare earths exploration and development assets, to pay (either in full or in part) the acquisition costs associated with any new assets or investments (including any expenses associated with any such acquisition).
8
Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the number of ordinary Shares on issue as at the date of the Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under 10% Placement Capacity.
| Dilution | Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares on Issue |
Issue Price (per share) |
$0.003 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.005 Issue Price (current) |
$0.010 100% increase in Issue Price |
| 2,516,260,469 (current Variable A) |
Shares issued - 10% voting dilution |
251,626,047 | 251,626,047 | 251,626,047 |
| Funds Raised | $629,065 | $1,258,130 | $2,516,260 | |
| 3,774,390,704 (50% increase in Variable A) |
Shares issued - 10% voting dilution |
377,439,070 | 377,439,070 | 377,439,070 |
| Funds Raised | $943,598 | $1,887,195 | $3,774,391 | |
| 5,032,520,938 (100% increase in Variable A) |
Shares issued - 10% voting dilution |
503,252,094 | 503,252,094 | 503,252,094 |
| Funds Raised | $1,258,130 | $2,516,260 | $5,032,521 |
The number of Shares on issue (i.e. variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
The current variable A as at the date of this Notice is 2,516,260,469 Shares.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the shares on ASX as at the date immediately prior to the date of the Notice.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own Shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for
9
those Shares on the date of issue.
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties (or their associates) of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company last obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A on 30 November 2023 (i.e. at the Company’s FY23 annual general meeting). For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6, the Company provides the following information:
-
on 29 February 2024, the Company issued 7,357,920 new Shares (equivalent to approximately 0.56% of the Company’s issued equity capital as at 30 November 2023) under Listing Rule 7.1A to a number of sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom were related parties (or associates of related parties) of the Company. These new Shares were issued at $0.012 per Share (equivalent to a 0% discount to closing price of Shares (which was $0.012) on the date immediately prior to the date on which the issue price was agreed by the Company); and
-
on 28 August 2024, the Company issued a further 65,434,944 new Shares (equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company’s issued equity capital as at 30 November 2023) under Listing Rule 7.1A to a number of sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom were related parties (or associates of related parties) of the Company. These new Shares were issued at $0.006 per Share (equivalent to a 0% discount to closing price of Shares (which was $0.006) on the date immediately prior to the date on which the issue price was agreed by the Company).
In aggregate, the Company raised gross proceeds of $480,905 from the issuance of 72,792,864 new Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A during the period after the Company’s 2023 AGM.
These funds were used by the Company:
-
to continue mine development activities at the Company’s Gold Links gold mine in Colorado;
-
to further gold and rare earths exploration activities at the Company’s Colosseum Gold Project in California; and
-
for general working capital (including to pay the costs of the above noted placements) purposes.
10
Listing Rule 14.1A
If Shareholders pass Resolution 3, the Company will be able to place additional Equity Securities (in the form of new Shares) in the Company up to the combined 25% limit allowed by Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without being required to obtain any further Shareholder approvals.
If Shareholders do not pass Resolution 3, the Company will not be able to access the extra 10% Placement Capacity and will not be able to place new Equity Securities in the Company in excess of the15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 (i.e. unless that excess is placed in accordance with an exception to Listing Rule 7.1).
Voting exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.
The Directors unanimously recommended that Shareholders vote FOR this Resolution 3.
The Chairperson will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. ( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
(a) hand to the Company at Level 29, 2 Chifley Square Street Sydney; or
-
(b) post to the Company, Level 29, 2 Chifley Square Street Sydney; or
