QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT As at 30 June 2017

Dateline Resources Limited (“the Company” or “Dateline” or “DTR”) is pleased to present its Activities Report for the Quarter ended 30 June, 2017

Gold Links Project

During the quarter CRG Mining, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dateline Resources Limited, received approval for the storm water management plan from the Colorado department of Health and commenced plans to develop the 2150 vein at the Upper Gold Links zone. In June a mining contractor was appointed to commence the development of a drive to access the Upper Gold Links portal. The contractor has mobilized to site and development work has commenced.

Dateline completed the analysis of 1 surface and 3 underground drill holes at the Gold Links project in Colorado to determine the extension of the 2150 vein structure along strike and at depth. The results of the drill holes are attached to this report.

Hazen Research completed their initial report into the recommissioning of the Lucky Strike Mill and have outlined a plan that will enable the company to expand processing capacity at the mill to 180tpd. We are in the process of determining what the capital expenditure requirements are to complete the upgrade of the mill.

Udu Project

During the Quarter, the company advised the Mineral Resources Department of Fiji of our intent to identify a suitable entity that is capable of further developing this project. Dateline has appointed PCF Capital to assist in identifying suitable parties.

Mt. Augustus

During the quarter the company relinquished all rights to the Mt. Augustus tenement suite and the Company will fully expense the asset valuation for the tenements in it’s accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2017.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
techniques specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
•CRG Mining, LLC drilled one surface and three underground core
holes. Industry standard core handling and sampling procedures
were employed to insure high quality samples.
•Samples from drill hole C8-16-1 were sent to ALS Minerals in Reno,
Nevada, for sample preparation. Samples were sent for assay at
ALS Minerals, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
•Samples from drill holes CRG-17-1, CRG-17-2 and CRG-17-3 were
sent to Hazen Research, Golden, Colorado for sample preparation
and assay.
•All samples followed a strict Chain of Custody.
•All samples were prepared at ALS and Hazen Research. Samples
were weighed, crushed to approximately 90% passing 2mm, and split
to obtain a subsample of approximately 1200 g. This material was
further pulverized to approximately 90% passing 75 microns.
Samples were analyzed using standard fire assay for gold and
analyses for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn using four-acid digestion with AAS
finish.
