3. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Dateline Resources Limited is an Australian publicly listed company focused on gold mining and exploration in Colorado, United States of America. The Company owns 100% of two, permitted gold mining projects in Colorado. The Lucky Strike Mine and Mill is located in Gunnison County and was discovered in 1885. Two shafts were developed at the project and a processing mill on site is being refurbished and upgraded by DTR. The Gold Links Mine, also in Gunnison County, is located ~50kms from Lucky Strike and forms part of Colorado’s Gold Creek district. Two separate vein systems have been mined on the property, Sacramento and the 2150. 2150 has over 600 metres of mineralisation across a +700-metre development drive. Historical gold grades ranged from 1.5 oz p/t to 10 oz p/t Au. Ore mined by DTR will be processed at the Lucky Strike Mill. In addition to these assets, Dateline owns a small 25tpd mill and freehold land in Saguache County in Colorado. The company is reviewing its interests in Fiji with a view to identifying a JV partner that would enter a farm in agreement on its Fijian assets.

Development and Exploration

During the December 2017 quarter, the company revised the plan to develop the decline to reach an existing raise and create a second means of egress. The revised plan requires the installation of a new escapeway rather than the rehabilitation of the existing raise and will lessen the distance of decline development.

The development of the decline has progressed and is approximately 20 metres away from the site where the new second escapeway will be installed. Under Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rules no mining can take place until a second method of egress is established.

An exploration program includes channel sampling and close spaced drilling from underground was commenced in the September quarter of 2017, continued throughout the December Quarter. The objective of this program is to get an understanding of the distribution of grade in a 100metre section of approximately 3000sqm area the Company has targeted for near term exploration and development.

This program is expected to be completed by mid-February 2018 at which stage the data will be analysed and the company will advise the market of the outcome of the program.

Permitting

The Colorado Department of Health has approved our permit application for the loading of ore at surface. Prior to obtaining approval, all ore that was planned to be used in the commissioning of the Lucky Strike Mill had to be loaded underground.

Compliance

MSHA (The US Mine Safety and Health Administration) conducted their quarterly site visit and no citations were issued.

Sacramento

A desktop review of the historical exploration data that was conducted by Ivory Oil in the 1980’s has led to the development of a surface drilling program to test the existence of the Sacramento vein to 100ft below the last known workings and to twin (replicate) the unverified results reported by Ivory Oil of drill hole DH2 which purported to intersect 1.1metres of 64 grams of gold per tonne. If successful, this would form the foundation of a step out drilling program to identify the extent of the mineralisation of the Sacramento Zone

Lucky Strike Mill

Mill Commissioning

  • During the December quarter, work was carried out on the mill with a view to commence commissioning as soon as possible. Whilst auditing the individual components of the mill, it was discovered that a critical part needed replacing. Notwithstanding, we have stockpiled approximately 1,200 tonnes of low grade commissioning ore onsite but due to the extended lead time to get the replacement part the mill was not commissioned in December. The company will provide an update to the market in February.

Permitting

  • During the December quarter the company received approval from the Department of Mines, Reclamation and Safety (DRMS) to be registered as the owner of the Lucky Strike Mill. The company sought an amendment to its milling permit that would enable the company to toll treat ore from the Gold Links mine and other nearby smaller mining operations. The amendment was granted in November 2017.

Toll treating

  • Discussions have commenced with several parties that have stockpiled ore and are desirous of shipping the ore to our lucky Strike Mill for processing. The company is assessing the offers on a case by case basis and these discussions may materialise into toll treating agreements in the March or June quarter.

Compliance

  • MSHA (The US Mine Safety and Health Administration) conducted their quarterly site visit to the Lucky Strike Mill and no citations were issued.

Mineral Hill and Lucky Strike Prospects

  • During the quarter, the company conducted a desktop review of the historical data on the Lucky Strike and the Mineral Hill mines from reports dating up to 1985-1986

  • The key findings of the review are as follows:

Lucky Strike Mine – Permitted to extract 70,000 tonnes per annum

  • Mined via a shaft down to 220ft (~70m) and over 600ft (~200m) on strike.

  • Average grade mined was between 12-15 grams per tonne.

  • Mineralisation is contained in quartz vein with clear distinction between hanging and footwall.

  • Mining abandoned in the 1980’s when the price of gold was low and the grades meant that mining was sub-economic.

5 | P a g e

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

==> picture [113 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Recommendations from Review of Lucky Strike Mine historical reports

  • In the Northern Hemisphere summer, conduct drilling program to test the down-dip extension of the vein below the 220ft (~70m) level.

  • If mineralisation is confirmed below the 220ft level, commence development of a plan that may be implemented to produce ore at the Lucky Strike mine which will create additional feed for the Lucky Strike mill that is located <50m from the existing shaft.

Mineral Hill – Historical Mine not currently permitted for mining

The Mineral Hill reports suggest that the claims host several veins that outcrop at surface and the company intends on testing the veracity of the report in June/July 2018 by conducting surface trenching and a bulk sampling program.

Both the Lucky Strike and the Mineral Hill prospects were historical mines and are now owned by Dateline. The properties are adjoining and make up part of the company’s freehold land holdings in Gunnison County Colorado.

Udu – Fiji

In the December Quarter, core samples were collected from site and sent for metallurgical test work. We expect the test work to establish if the Udu ore is amenable to separation and floatation and if it is, we would actively seek a JV partner that is interested in completing a PFS for a 500,000tpa mining operation at Udu.

5. SIGNIFICANT MATTERS AFTER BALANCE DATE

  • On 15 January 2018, the Company received a short term loan of $1.1 million from Southern Cross Exploration N.L. (Interest rate of 10% per annum with a repayment date of 7 August 2018).

  • On 19 February 2018, the Company announced that it had negotiated materially improved acquisition terms with the vendors of both the Gold Links mine and the Sooner Lucky Strike mine and mill in Colorado, USA as detailed below:

The original terms for the acquisition of the Gold Links leasehold were:

  • Cash payments totaling US$10m with the first US$3m due in September 2018, and

  • The remaining US$7M payable in instalments through to September 2022.

The new agreement with the Gold Links Leasehold vendors (Gold Links Lease) is as follows:

  • Issue 30m fully paid ordinary shares in Dateline.

  • Cash payments of US$2.5m on 31 December 2022 or before at a rate of US$50.00 per gold ounce mined. This amount is fixed and payable at 31 December 2022 if not paid earlier by royalties.

  • Further cash payments of up to US$2.5m at a rate of US$50.00 per gold ounce mined within 100 years of this agreement. This is contingent on mining operations.

Sooner Lucky Strike acquisition terms

The Company has also agreed new terms for the acquisition of the Sooner Lucky Strike Mine including approximately 350 acres of freehold and a 125tpd processing plant (Lucky Strike)

The original Lucky Strike acquisition terms were:

  • US$10m payable in April 2022 for the purchase of the freehold land.

  • US$10m payable from production.

  • Further cash payments of up to US$2.5m at a rate of US$50.00 per gold ounce mined within 100 years of this agreement. This is contingent on mining operations.

These new terms were reflected in the financial statements for the 6 months ended 31 December 2017 as provided evidence of conditions existing before 31 December 2017.

Dateline has also negotiated the acquisition of approximately 900 acres of land which gives the Company freehold title over the Gold Links property that it currently controls via a lease. A total of 30m fully paid ordinary shares (28m were issued on 12 March 2018) and 10m options exercisable at a 2.5cents each with an expiry date of 31 December 2020 will be issued to the vendors as full and final payment for the 900 acres of land.

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED DIRETORS’ DECLARATION FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

==> picture [113 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Dateline Resources Limited (the “Company”) covers the period from 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2017 (the “Period”). The Company was incorporated on 3 February 2011.

In June 2011, the Company was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) through initial Public Offering Prospectus dated 18 April 2011.

The Company is an Australian-based mineral exploration company with existing exploration projects in the Republic of Fiji and mining permits in Colorado USA. The address of the registered office of the Company is Level 29, 2 Chifley Square Sydney NSW 2000.

The financial report of Dateline Resources Limited for the Period was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 16 March 2018.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose interim condensed financial report of the Company for the Period has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial report.

It is recommended that the interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 and considered together with any public announcements made by the Company during the Period and up to the date of this report in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of this financial report for the Period under review are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

(b) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the period, the consolidated entity incurred a comprehensive loss of $1,529,620 (2016: $132,812 loss) a net cash inflow of $772,368 (2016: $615,098 inflow) and net cash out flow from operations of $1,010,045 (2016: $195,311). As at 31 December 2017, the consolidated entity also had a deficiency in working capital of $3,581,598 (2016: $1,641 working capital) and cash assets of $1,033,647 (2016: $261,279).

The ability of the consolidated group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the group being able to generate sufficient funds to satisfy exploration commitments and working capital requirements. The directors are in the process of taking the following measures which have been designed to ensure that the going concern assumption remains appropriate and that the group is able to settle liabilities and commitments as and when they are due:

  • Commence mining at Gunnison, as soon as possible;

14 | P a g e

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED DIRETORS’ DECLARATION FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

==> picture [113 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

  • Seeking other funding opportunities through various transactions including future fundraising including mergers or joint ventures;

  • By issuing equity to settle future liabilities, if appropriate; and

  • Adopting all appropriate measures to ensure that the cashflows remain sufficient to ensure that it remains a going concern.

Some of these measures already adopted by the board since 31.12.17 have been disclosed in note 16.

The directors believe that the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial report of the Group is appropriate. The directors note that should the Group be unsuccessful in implementing the above mentioned measures, there is material uncertainty that the Group may be able to realise its assets or discharge its liabilities in the normal ordinary course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

3. OPERATING SEGMENTS

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Company that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDECE DECLARATION

To the members of Dateline Resources Limited:

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Dateline Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration, for the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the halfyear.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report .

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDECE DECLARATION (CONTINUED)

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Dateline Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(b) Going concern basis, which indicates that the company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on it raising sufficient capital. This condition, along with other matters set forth in Note 2(b), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
