Gold Links Update
Dateline Resources Limited (ASX: DTR) ( Dateline or the Company ) provides the following update with regards to its Gold Links mine in Colorado.
As noted in the Chairman’s AGM address last week[1] , the Company is seeking a strategic joint venture partner to progress the Gold Links operation.
To preserve the value of the operation and minimise the cash requirements at the Gold Links, the Company has made the decision to move the mine into care and maintenance.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE Share Price (5/12/22) $0.063 Shares on issue 566.18 million Market Cap $35.7 million
MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS
The Board is in discussions with various groups on a potential Joint Venture (JV) and a package of further debt with our USA bankers. The objective of these discussions is to secure the future operations of Gold Links, without Dateline Resources having to make any further capital contribution.
With the planned introduction of a strategic partner at Gold Links, the Company’s primary focus will be the Colosseum Project in California. In addition to the potential for Rare Earth Elements (REE) as defined by extensive mapping, sampling and a gravity survey, the Colosseum project already has a defined JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource of 813,000 ounces[2] , with significant potential for extensions of the mineral resource at depth in the breccia pipes.
Dateline’s Managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi, commented:

“There are several parties in the US that are interested in a JV at Gold Links, however this process will take time to work through.”
“The decision to suspend mining operations was carefully considered by the Board and is consistent with our decision to focus the Company’s resources on the Colosseum project.”
“Colosseum has drill ready REE targets and an existing robust 813,000oz mineral resource with obvious extensional potential, we see this project as being capable of delivering value for our shareholders.”
