Dear Shareholder

RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE

The directors ( Directors ) of Dateline Resources Limited ACN 149 105 653 ( Company ) are pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in a partially underwritten 10-for-1 pro rata renounceable rights issue as set out in this Offer Booklet.

The offer is available to all Shareholders who are, as at 7pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 5 December 2018 ( Record Date ), registered (in accordance with the records of the Company's share registry) with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand[1] ( Eligible Shareholders ).

1. Introduction

1.1 Key Details

As announced on Friday, 30 November 2018, the Company invites all Eligible Shareholders to participate in a partially underwritten renounceable rights issue on the basis of 10 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (each, a New Share ) for every 1 existing share in the Company (each, a Share ) held at an issue price of $0.002 per New Share ( Issue Price ) ( Rights Issue ). Under the Rights Issue, the Company is seeking to raise up to approximately $14.5 million[2] (before costs).

The Issue Price represents an [80]% discount to the last trading price of the Company's Shares on ASX on Thursday, 29 November 2018 (i.e. the trading day immediately before the Company announced the Rights Issue) and a discount of approximately [26.7]% to the theoretical ex-rights price[3] of $[0.0027] per Share.

Under the Rights Issue, Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Additional New Shares (i.e. New Shares in excess of their Entitlement). The allocation of Additional New Shares and any scale back will be subject to the availability of Additional New Shares and in the Company's absolute discretion[4] .

1 The Company has also decided to extend the Rights Issue to shareholders based in Singapore who qualify as "institutional investors" as defined in the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore.

2 Approximately $6.2 million of the up to approximately $14.5 million which the Company is seeking under the Rights Issue is "effectively" being contributed by the Company's 2 largest Shareholders pursuant to the "debt-forequity" swap arrangements disclosed throughout this Offer Booklet.

3 The theoretical ex-rights price ( TERP ) is a theoretical weighted average price at which Shares should trade immediately after the "ex" date of the Rights Issue. The TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Shares trade immediately after the "ex" date for the Rights Issue will depend on a number of factors and may not be equal to TERP.

4 Please note that Additional New Shares will only be allocated to you if there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlement or from New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders had they been eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.

2

The Rights Issue, when combined with the debt reduction arrangements agreed with the Company's 2 largest Shareholders and creditors (being Southern Cross Exploration N.L. ( SXX ) and Mr Mark Johnson[5] , the Company's Chairman), is expected to transform the Company's balance sheet and provide it with the financial resources necessary to pursue an exploration program with a near term production opportunity at its 100% owned gold projects in Colorado, USA (in each case, further details of which are set out in the Company's investor presentation given to ASX on 30 November 2018).

As noted above, the gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be used by the Company to:

  • continue the exploration and development of the Company's Gold Links Project in Colorado, USA;

  • substantially reduce[6] the Company's current outstanding indebtedness (which primarily consists of the Shareholder loans referred to throughout this Offer Booklet),

  • provide additional working capital;

and to pay the costs of the Rights Issue.

As noted above and elsewhere in this Offer Booklet, the Company's 2 largest Shareholders and creditors (being SXX and non-executive Chairman Mr Mark Johnson) have agreed to subscribe for their full Entitlement (at the Issue Price and on the same 10-for-1 Rights Issue ratio) by setting-off a proportion of the amount owed to each of them with the amount that each of them would have otherwise had to pay were they subscribing for their New Shares in cash[7] .

Entitlements are renounceable and will be tradeable on ASX or transferrable to thirdparties. This provides Eligible Shareholders with the potential opportunity to sell some or all of their Entitlements. Trading of Entitlements is expected to start on ASX on Tuesday, 4 December 2018 and to conclude on the close of trading on Wednesday, 23 January 2019. The ASX code for the Entitlements is expected to be "DTRR".

It is the responsibility of purchasers of Entitlements (regardless of whether they purchase them on ASX or via off-market transfers) to satisfy themselves of their eligibility to subscribe for New Shares under the Rights Issue. In the event that holders do not take up their Entitlements, those Entitlements may be sold by a broker (nominated by the Company) in a sale process with the proceeds of that sale, if any, remitted to you (less costs).

5 Mr Johnson has also agreed to subscribe for up to $500,000 worth of New Shares which are not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders by the Closing Date (with any such remaining New Shares referred to as the Shortfall ). On completion of the Rights Issue, the total amount owed (by the Company) to Mr Johnson will be $984,239. This remaining amount will then be converted into a 24 month term loan. As disclosed above, any Shortfall of up to $500,000 worth of New Shares will be subscribed for by Mr Johnson at the Issue Price. If applicable, Mr Johnson will provide these new funds to the Company on or before the settlement date for the Rights Issue.

6 On completion of the Rights Issue, the total amount owed (by the Company) to SXX will be $353,987. This remaining amount will then be converted into a 24 month term loan.

7 It is important to note that in repaying a substantial proportion of the Shareholder loans owed to SXX and Mr Johnson, the Company will not be issuing either of SXX or Mr Johnson with more New Shares than any of their pro rata Entitlements would allow.

3

As noted above, Mr Mark Johnson has agreed to partially underwrite the Rights Issue by committing to subscribe for up to $500,000[8] worth of any Shortfall. Furthermore, the Company's new Chief Executive Officer, Mr Glenn Dovaston, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Mr Stephen Baghdadi and the Company's current nonexecutive Director Mr Greg Hall have together also agreed to partially underwrite the Rights Issue by committing to subscribe for up to $512,376.12 worth of any Shortfall[9] . These amounts (which total $1,012,367.12 (i.e. including Mr Johnson's $500,000 commitment) when combined with the commitment from SXX and Mr Johnson to apply for their full Entitlement (by way of the "debt-for-equity" swap referred to throughout this Offer Booklet) means that a total of approximately $7.24 million of the approximately $14.5 Rights Issue is effectively underwritten.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet in Section 2.4 illustrates the effect of the Rights Issue on the financial position of the Company.

1.2 Rights Issue pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act

The Rights Issue is being conducted by the Company in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ), without the issue of a prospectus or disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, this Offer Booklet is not a prospectus, disclosure document or other offering document under the Corporations Act (or any other Australian or foreign law) and has not been (and will not be) lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ).

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purpose of section 111AC of the Corporations Act and as such it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under section 674 of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules ( Listing Rules ). These obligations require the Company to notify ASX Limited ( ASX ) of information about specified events and matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the financial market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX immediately once it is or becomes aware of any information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Shares.

For the Company to rely on the disclosure exemption in section 708AA of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to lodge a "cleansing notice" under section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act. That notice is required to:

  • (a) set out any information that has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the Listing Rules and that investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require, and would reasonably expect to find in a disclosure document, for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

  • (i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; or

  • (ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares; and

  • (b) state the potential effect of the issue of the New Shares on the control of the Company and the consequences of that effect.

8 This $500,000 underwriting commitment is in the form of new cash.

9 Mr Dovaston has agreed to commit to $250,000 in new cash. Mr Baghdadi and Mr Hall have agreed to commit $162,376.12 and $100,000, respectively.

2. Details of the Rights Issue

2.1 The Rights Issue

The Company is conducting a partially underwritten[10] pro rata renounceable offer to Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for 10 New Shares at the Issue Price per New Share for every Share held at the Record Date. Fractional entitlements to New Shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.

Your precise entitlement to New Shares under the Rights Issue ( Entitlement ) is shown on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Details on how to accept your Entitlement (or part of it) are set out in Section 3. This Offer Booklet will be mailed to Eligible Shareholders on or about Monday, 10 December 2018 together with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement. Additional New Shares will only be allocated to you if there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement in full together with any New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders had they been eligible to participate in the Rights Issue, subject to any scale back that the Company might apply (in its absolute discretion[11] ). Accordingly, if you apply for Additional New Shares, there is no guarantee you will be allocated with any. You should note that if you do not take up all of your Entitlement, then your percentage holding in the Company will be diluted.

2.2 Size of the Rights Issue

The maximum total number of New Shares that may be issued under the Rights Issue will be approximately 7.24 billion (noting that the exact number will depend on the level of New Shares applied for by Eligible Shareholders, the rounding of individual holdings and whether any option holders exercise their options for the issue of Shares prior to the Record Date). The table below sets out, for illustrative purposes only, the expected impact of the Rights Issue on the Company's capital structure:

Shares Number
Existing Shares as at Friday, 30 November 2018 724,495,810
Maximum number of New Shares that could be issued
under the Rights Issue

7,244,958,100
Maximum number of Shares that could be on issue
following completion of the Rights Issue

7,969,453,910

Note : The above table assumes that none of the Company's unquoted options are exercised before the Record Date. The Company has on issue 45,000,000 unlisted options (i.e. 35,000,000 with an exercise price of $0.04 per option and an expiry date of 31 October 2019 and 10,000,000 with an exercise price of $0.025 per option and an expiry date of 31 December 2020). Although highly unlikely, if any of these unquoted options are exercised before the Record Date, the number of Shares on issue will increase and the number of New Shares that will be issued under the Rights Issue will also increase.

10 $1,012,367.12 (or $7,243,866.58 when the "debt-for-equity" swap arrangements with SXX and Mr Johnson are included) of the Rights Issue is underwritten.

11 The Company intends to allocate the Shortfall (if any) in the following manner: (i) firstly, pro rata to Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares, (ii) secondly, to any third-party sophisticated or professional investors who approach the Company and apply for New Shares and (iii) thirdly (and pro rata to the size of their underwriting commitment), to Mr Johnson, Mr Dovaston, Mr Baghdadi and Mr Hall.

2.3 Use of funds of the Rights Issue

The Company is seeking up to approximately $14.5 million (before fees and costs) under of the Rights Issue. These gross proceeds (along with a comparison (noted in the second column below) should the Company's Shareholders only apply for half of their Entitlement) will be used as follows:

Use
Amount (50%)
Amount (100%)
Use
Amount (50%)
Amount (100%)
Use
Amount (50%)
Amount (100%)
Reduce the Company's indebtedness to SXX $4,800,300 $4,800,300
Reduce the Company's indebtedness to Mr
Johnson
$1,431,190 $1,431,190
Eliminate the Company's remaining indebtedness $488,475 $488,475
Continue the exploration and development of the
Gold Links Project
$1,300,000 $7,400,000
General working capital $237,360 $369,951
Total $8,257,325 $14,489,916

2.4 Pro Forma Balance Sheet

Set out below is the Company's (i) statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 (audited) and (ii) pro forma statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 (unaudited), giving effect to Rights Issue as though this transaction (including the reduction of debt disclosed above) had occurred as at 30 June 2018 ( Pro Forma Balance Sheet ).

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet is presented in an abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures that are usually provided in DTR's annual report ( Annual Report ) (which is prepared in accordance with the accounting standards) and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the Company's financial position as a statement of financial position in the Annual Report would[12] .

The financial information "as at" 30 June 2018 has been derived from the Annual Report given to ASX on 28 September 2018.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has not been audited, has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and gives effect to the following transactions as if they had occurred on 30 June 2018 (i) the issuance of 7,244,958,100 New Shares at the Issue Price (thereby raising gross proceeds of up to approximately $14.5 million[13] ) and (ii) the repayment of $6,719,965 worth of indebtedness.

12 The Pro Forma Balance Sheets are indicative only and are not intended to be a statement of the Company's current financial position.

13 As set out in the second pro forma balance sheet, the Company has also performed the same analysis on the assumption that it issues approximately 4,325,328,353 New Shares (i.e. it only raises approximately $8.65 million (which amount is comprised of the (i) "debt-for-equity" swap arrangements agreed with SXX and Mr Johnson (ii) the $1,012,376.12 committed by Mr Johnson, Mr Dovaston, Mr Baghdadi and Mr Hall and (iii) cash received from Shareholders who (in aggregate) take up only half (i.e. 50%) of their Entitlement)) under the Rights Issue. In this scenario, the Company will still pay off approximately $6,719,965 worth of indebtedness.

2.5 No cooling off rights

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your application under your Entitlement and Acceptance Form once it has been received by the Company.

2.6 Potential effect on control

Given the discounted Issue Price, the relatively small number of large Shareholders, the fact that the Rights Issue is partially underwritten and because Eligible Shareholders are able to apply for Additional New Shares, the Company does not expect that the Rights Issue will have an adverse effect on the control of the Company. Furthermore, Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlements in full will not have their interest in the Company diluted by the Rights Issue[14] (subject to immaterial movements which may arise as a result of the rounding of Entitlements).

The Company notes however that Mr Mark Johnson (the Company's Chairman) has, in addition to his decision to "swap" a proportion of the total amount owed to him by the Company for New Shares, committed to apply for up to $500,000 worth of New Shares in the event of a Shortfall[15] .

The table below sets out each of the Company's substantial Shareholders' (i.e. those Shareholders who hold at least 5% of the Shares) relevant interests in Shares and also their expected relevant interest in Shares following completion of the Rights Issue (assuming that there is no Shortfall (i.e. all Eligible Shareholders apply for their full Entitlement under the Rights Issue)):

Note : In repaying a portion of the outstanding Shareholder loans, the Company will not be issuing either SXX or Mark Johnson with more New Shares than either of their pro rata Entitlements would allow.

14 However, if an Eligible Shareholder does not take up all of their Entitlement, then the interests of that Eligible Shareholder will be diluted. The relevant interests of Ineligible Shareholders will also be diluted as such persons are not eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.

15 The Company intends to allocate the Shortfall (if any) in the following manner: (i) firstly, pro rata to Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares, (ii) secondly, to any third-party sophisticated or professional investors who approach the Company and apply for New Shares and (iii) thirdly (and pro rata to the size of their underwriting commitment), to Mr Johnson, Mr Dovaston, Mr Baghdadi and Mr Hall.

10

So far as the Company is aware and based on substantial holding notices that have been lodged prior to the date of this Offer Booklet, other than SXX there are no Shareholders with voting power of 20% or more in the Company.

The potential effect of the issue of New Shares under the Rights Issue on the control of the Company is as follows:

  • (a) If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up all of their Entitlement, then the interest of that Eligible Shareholder will be diluted.

  • (b) The proportionate interests of Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia, New Zealand or Singapore will be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.

  • (c) If no Eligible Shareholders (other than SXX, Mark Johnson, Greg Hall and Stephen Baghdadi (each of whom will participate in the Rights Issue to the extent shown below)) participate in the Rights Issue and therefore Mr Johnson, Mr Dovaston, Mr Baghdadi and Mr Hall are required to subscribe for their total underwritten commitment (the quantum of which is as set out in Section 1.1 above), then the expected relevant interests of the Company's substantial holders and Directors on completion of the Rights Issue is expected to be as follows:

Name of Shares held Percentage of New Shares Shares held Percentage of
Substantial before Rights Shares after Rights Shares after
holder Issue Issue Rights Issue

Note : The number of New Shares issued to Mr Mark Johnson noted in the table above (i.e. in the scenario where he is required to subscribe for his full underwriting commitment of $500,000 worth of New Shares) also includes the New Shares that he will receive in consideration for the "debt-for-equity" swap arrangements referred to elsewhere in this Offer Booklet. Furthermore, and in addition to the assumption that Mr Johnson's $500,000 underwriting commitment is utilised in full, the calculations and percentages noted above assume that the Company did not (or was unable to) issue the remaining New Shares that were not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders (other than the Directors, the CEO, SXX and Mr Johnson as noted in the table above). In such circumstances the Company will be required to issue a total of 3,621,933,290 New Shares resulting in it having 4,346,429,100 Shares on issue on completion of the Rights Issue (rather than the 7,969,453,910 Shares that would be on issue were all Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for their full Entitlement).

D. Vinci (both of whom are assumed not to be applying for any New Shares under the Rights Issue)) subscribe for half (i.e. 50%) of their Entitlement and therefore Mr Johnson, Mr Dovaston, Mr Baghdadi and Mr Hall are required to subscribe for their total underwriting commitment (the quantum of which is as set out in Section 1.1 above), then the expected relevant interests of the Company's substantial holders and Directors on completion of the Rights Issue is expected to be as follows:

In such circumstances, the Company will be required to issue a total of 5,028,723,415 New Shares resulting in it having 5,753,219,225 Shares on issue on completion of the Rights Issue (rather than the 7,969,453,910 Shares that would be on issue were all Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for their full Entitlement).

The Directors will not offer any Shortfall to Eligible Shareholders or new investors if doing so would result in any of those persons having voting power of 20% or more in the Company.

16 It is not known whether Red Star Developments Pte Ltd will apply for its Entitlement (noting that the second and third scenarios referred to above assume that it will not apply for its Entitlement). However, should Red Star Developments Pte Ltd apply for all (or part) of its Entitlement, the above referred issuances and percentages will change accordingly.

2.7 ASX quotation of New Shares

The Company has made an application to ASX for the New Shares to be granted quotation on ASX. If that permission is not granted by ASX, the Company will not issue any New Shares and all Application Monies received will be refunded (without interest) in full to the applicants. The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares. Neither ASX nor ASIC takes any responsibility for the content of this Offer Booklet.

It is expected that trading of the New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, occur on or about the date specified in the timetable in Section 1.3.

2.8 Issue of New Shares

Subject to the New Shares being granted quotation on ASX it is expected that New Shares will be issued on Thursday, 7 February 2019 and that updated holding statements for the New Shares will be despatched on or after Friday, 8 February 2019.

Confirmation of issue is expected to be sent in accordance with the Listing Rules. It is the responsibility of each Applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares, Additional New Shares (if applicable to you) and Entitlements. Any Applicant who sells any such securities before receiving their confirmation of issue will do so at their own risk. The Company and the Registry disclaim all liability, in tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, to any person who trades in their new securities before receiving their confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of a confirmation of issue provided by the Company, the Registry or otherwise.

2.9

Eligible Shareholders

The Rights Issue is being made to all Eligible Shareholders who are, as at 7pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, registered (in accordance with the records of the Company's share registry, Security Transfer Australia Pty Ltd ( Share Registry )) with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand or (but only to the extent that they qualify as an "institutional investor" under the SFA (defined below)), Singapore. This Offer Booklet and a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form will only be sent to Eligible Shareholders.

The offer contained in this Offer Booklet to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is being made in reliance on th e Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand) . Members of the public in New Zealand who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any New Shares.

The Company reserves the right to reject any Entitlement and Acceptance Form that it believes comes from a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder.

The offer contained in this Offer Booklet is being extended to Singaporean investors who (i) qualify as an "institutional investor" in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore ( SFA ) (ii) will acquire the New Shares the subject of their Entitlement in accordance with the applicable provisions of the SFA and (iii) understand that the offer of their Entitlement to them under the Rights Issue (and the subsequent issue of New Shares the subject of their Entitlement) is subject to the restrictions (including selling restrictions) set out in the SFA.

The Rights Issue is not being made to any investor (other than to Singaporean "institutional investors" (if any)) outside of Australia or New Zealand.

13

Ineligible Shareholders

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 and section 9A of the Corporations Act, the Company has decided that it is unreasonable to extend the Rights Issue to any Shareholder (other than to Singaporean "institutional investors" (if any)) with a registered address outside of Australia or New Zealand as at the Record Date ( Ineligible Shareholder ), having regard to:

  • (a) the number of Shareholders with addresses outside of Australia or New Zealand;

  • (b) the number and value of the New Shares those Shareholders would be offered under the Rights Issue; and

  • (c) the cost to the Company of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other countries.

Accordingly, the Rights Issue is not being extended to, and does not qualify for distribution or sale by or to, and no New Shares will be issued to, Shareholders (other than any Singaporean "institutional investors") having registered addresses outside Australia or New Zealand. To the extent that there are any Ineligible Shareholders registered at the Record Date, the Company will send details of the Rights Issue to each Ineligible Shareholder and advise each Ineligible Shareholder that they will not be offered New Shares under the Rights Issue.

2.10 Overseas Shareholders

This Offer Booklet does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer or invitation in the United States, to any US person, to any person acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, or in any other place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.

The distribution of this Offer Booklet in jurisdictions outside of Australia or New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Offer Booklet should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

No action has been taken by the Company to register the New Shares or otherwise permit an offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction other than Australia, New Zealand or (and in the case of institutional investors only) Singapore. Eligible Shareholders holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up Entitlements under the Rights Issue does not breach in the securities law of the relevant overseas jurisdiction.

The New Shares have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction in the United States and may only be offered, sold or resold in, or to persons in, the United States in accordance with an available exemption from registration.

Eligible Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how to proceed. The Rights Issue is being made to all Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any Eligible Shareholder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares.

Where any registered holder that qualifies as an Eligible Shareholder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that registered holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Rights Issue is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

14

Any person in the United States or any person that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. person with a holding through a nominee may not participate in the Rights Issue and the nominee must not take up any Entitlement or send any materials into the United States or to any person that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person. It is the responsibility of a Shareholder to ensure compliance with any laws of a country relevant to their application. Return of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company as a representation that there has been no breach of such laws and that the applicant is an Eligible Shareholder.

2.11 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares

The New Shares will, from issue, rank equally with existing Shares. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available on the Company's website www.datelineresources.com.au.

2.12 Costs of the Rights Issue

It is expected that the costs of the Rights Issue will be approximately $20,000 (excluding GST).

2.13 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for New Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or via the Share Registry). The Company collects, holds and uses that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Share Registry. You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Share Registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

3. Action required by Shareholders

3.1

Your choices

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may do any one of the following:

  • take up all or part of your Entitlement (see Section 3.2 below);

  • take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares (i.e. New Shares in excess of your Entitlement (see Section 3.3 below));

  • sell your Entitlement on ASX or to a third-party (see Section 3.4 below); or

  • do nothing (in which case your Entitlement (or the New Shares in respect of that renounced Entitlement) may be sold by a broker appointed by the Company in a sale process with the proceeds of that sale, if any, remitted to you (less costs)).

15

3.2 If you decide to take up all or part of your Entitlement

  • If you decide to take up all or part of your Entitlement, please:

  • if you are within Australia or New Zealand and you have an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® payments, pay your Application Monies via BPAY®; or

  • complete and return the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies, by following the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full.

If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement, before the close of the Rights Issue, you will be issued with your New Shares and Additional New Shares (if applicable to you) on or about Thursday, 7 February 2019.

The Company reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares issued to Eligible Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders if their claims prove to be incorrect or overstated or if they fail to provide information (if requested) to substantiate their claims.

To participate in the Rights Issue, your payment must be received by no later than the Closing Date and time, which is 5pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 31 January 2019. Eligible Shareholders who wish to pay via cheque, bank draft or money order will also need to ensure that their completed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form is received by that time and date using the reply paid envelope provided with this Offer Booklet.

3.3 If you decide to take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares

If you decide to take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares, please:

  • if you are within Australia or New Zealand and you have an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® payments, pay your Application Monies via BPAY®; or

  • complete and return the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies, by following the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full up to your full Entitlement and, in respect of amounts received by the Company in excess of your full Entitlement ( Excess Amount ), will treat your Application as applying for as many Additional New Shares as your Excess Amount will pay for in full, subject any scale back that the Company may determine to implement in its discretion.

3.4 If you wish to sell all or part of your Entitlement

Sale of Entitlements on ASX

If you wish to sell all or part of your Entitlement on ASX, you should instruct your stockbroker and provide details as requested from your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You should allow sufficient time for your instructions to be carried out by your stockbroker.

16

Entitlement trading is expected to start at 10am (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 4 December 2018 (ASX: DTRR) and cease at 4pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 23 January 2019.

The price obtainable for Entitlements may rise and fall during the course of trading and will depend on many factors including the demand for and supply of Entitlements on ASX and the value of Shares relative to the Issue Price. If you sell your Entitlement on ASX, you may receive a higher or lower price than a Shareholder who sells their Entitlements at a different time or in a sales process conducted by a broker appointed by the Company if you take no action (see Section 3.5 below).

You may also incur brokerage costs if you choose to sell your Entitlement on ASX. There is no guarantee that there will be a liquid market in Entitlements. A lack of liquidity may impact your ability to sell your Entitlement on ASX and the price you may be able to achieve.

If you wish to sell part of your Entitlement on ASX and renounce the balance, follow the procedure in respect of the part of your Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX and do nothing in respect of the balance.

The Company assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to you if you trade your Entitlement before the Entitlements are issued, or before you receive your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, whether on the basis of a confirmation of allocation provided by the Company, the Registry or otherwise.

Sale of Entitlements other than on ASX

If you wish to transfer all or part of your Entitlement other than on ASX (i.e. to a thirdparty), you must forward a completed Renunciation and Transfer Form to the Registry in relation to the part of your Entitlement that you wish to transfer.

If the transferee wishes to take up all or part of the Entitlement transferred to them, they must also send their Application Monies together with the Entitlement and Acceptance Form related to the Entitlement transferred to the Registry before the Closing Date.

If you hold issuer sponsored securities, you can obtain a Renunciation and Transfer Form by calling the Registry at any time from 9am to 5pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday during the period from and including the date on which the Rights Issue opens until and including the date on which it closes.

The Renunciation and Transfer Form together with Application Monies and Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be received by the Registry before 5pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date.

If you hold broker/CHESS sponsored securities you can obtain a Renunciation and Transfer Form by contacting your stockbroker.

If you sell (whether on ASX or otherwise) or take no action in relation to your Entitlement, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up that Entitlement. Your percentage holding in the Company will also be diluted.

17

3.5 If you take no action

If you take no action you may still receive payment for the Entitlement or part of your Entitlement not taken up (i.e. "renounced" by you). This is because the Company will arrange for renounced Entitlements (or the New Shares in respect of those renounced Entitlements) to be offered for subscription to certain institutional investors through a bookbuild (or similar sale process) which may be conducted by a broker (or its nominee) appointed by the Company. The "premium" (i.e. (and depending on whether renounced Entitlements or New Shares representing those renounced Entitlements are the securities actually sold in the sale process) either the price received for the renounced Entitlements or the positive difference between the clearing price for New Shares representing renounced Entitlements and the Issue Price) will be remitted (via cheque) to renouncing Shareholders (net of any withholding tax and other costs).

No assurance or guarantee can be given as to the price that will be achieved under the sale process for (or in respect of) the renounced Entitlements and in certain circumstances (including where the "clearing" price for New Shares representing renounced Entitlements is less than the Issue Price) no distribution will be made to renouncing Shareholders.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and its directors, related bodies corporate, agents, affiliates, officers, employees and professional advisers disclaim all liability, including for negligence, for any failure to procure applications for Entitlements (or New Shares representing renounced Entitlements) under the sale process referred to above at price which generates a premium.

Any premium you may receive may have Australian and/or overseas tax consequences for you, depending on your individual circumstances. You should seek professional tax advice regarding the taxation of any proceeds received.

3.6

Acceptance of your Entitlement

The method of acceptance of your Entitlement will depend on your method of payment being by cheque, bank draft, BPAY® or money order. By completing and returning your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be deemed to have represented that you are an Eligible Shareholder.

3.7

Payment for New Shares

The Issue Price for each New Share accepted under your Entitlement is payable on application. Payment by cheque, bank draft, money order or by BPAY® will be accepted.

For payment by cheque, bank draft or money order, you should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form and return it to the address specified on the form accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian dollars for the amount of the Application Monies, payable to "Dateline Resources Limited" and crossed "Not Negotiable".

Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:

  • for an amount equal to $0.002 multiplied by the number of New Shares (and Additional New Shares, if applicable to you) that you are applying for; and

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution.

18

Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • you are deemed to have applied for such whole number of New Shares that is covered in full by your Application Monies, whether that number is less than, equal to, or more than your Entitlement.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the application monies. If the amount of your cheque for application monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared application monies will pay for (and taken to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your application will not be accepted.

All payments must be in Australian dollars. Foreign currency will not be accepted. Cash payments will not be accepted. Other currency or cash payments will be returned to the applicant and the acceptance will be deemed invalid. The amount payable on application will be deemed not to have been received until the Company's receipt of clear funds. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Application Monies will be held on trust for applicants until the issue of the New Shares. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded (except when the amount is less than $2.00, in which case it will be retained by the Company) on or around Friday, 8 February 2019.

No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded. Interest earned on application monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by it whether or not issue takes place.

3.8 Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Booklet and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly, it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.

19

3.9 Representations by Acceptance
