September 2019 Quarterly Report

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DSE) (“Dateline” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide this Activities Report on the Company’s Gold Links project, Colorado, for the three-month period ending 30 September 2019.

During the quarter, the Company continued its 8,000metre RC drilling program at the Gold Links project.

The primary objective for the program was to prove the down-dip extension of both the Sacramento and 2150 veins. The extension of these high-grade veins has been successfully confirmed.

As at today’s date, Dateline confirms that it has completed the majority of the program and successfully drilled high priority holes through the northern section of the Gold Links project and will report all drill hole data completed post September 30 in a separate release.

Sacramento Vein:

Drilling has provided a more structural understanding of the geology of the Sacramento Vein, located on the northern side of the project. To September 30, a total of 16 holes over 1628 metres have been drilled, with the following being the most notable:

  • SAC 13 – 1.75m at 24.9g/t Au and 153g/t Ag (inc. 0.5m at 80.1g/t Au and 489g/t Ag.

  • SAC06 – 0.5m at 14g/t Au and 97.4g/t Ag.

  • SAC16 – 0.7m at 18.1g/t Au and 241g/t Ag.

These results have defined a number of deeper targets that have been assessed for follow-up drilling.

ASX Release 31 October 2019

2150 Vein:

Drilling of the extension of the 2150 vein commenced during the period with a total of 13 holes drilled totaling 2445 metres. As advised on September 4, the Company has completed six holes, all of which intercepted gold and silver mineralisation in the down-dip extension of the 2150 vein and has since pre-collared a further six holes. The most prominent intercept during the September Quarter included:

GL03 – 1.57m at 30.4g/t Au and 78g/t Ag (inc. 0.3m at 151.g/t Au and 143g/t/ Ag)

Following a review of the program and assays generated, management will begin planning a follow up program to commence early 2020. The Company expects remaining assays from the current drill campaign will be reported in the coming weeks.

Further exploration initiatives:

Geophysics

Early stage core property testing shows that veins usually have a strong IP response (>50 msec) and that most wall rocks have a low IP response (<15 msec). While there is some overlap, the segregation of results is promising in that it at appears to distinguish between the mineralized vein and the barren wall rock.

Logging of the longer holes has identified very significantly changed rock types. Further relogging should be complete in the December Quarter at which stage it will be used to create a geologic model to assess the IP response and determine whether downhole IP is a viable tool.

ASX Release 31 October 2019

New “Hill” Vein discovery:

In October 2018, Dateline acquired LIDAR data that covered 3,623 hectares which essentially covers the entire project area. Following the digitisation of this data, follow up mapping and sampling was undertaken during the period that resulted in the discovered of the Hill Vein.

The Hill Vein is located to the south of the Sacramento workings. Mapping has traced the vein for 100m to the south-east. Opening the northern most adit on the Hill Vein allowed sampling to occur. These samples returned promising assay values of:

  • 56.5g/t Au and 200g/t Ag.

  • 12g/t Au and 193 g/t Ag.

Dateline’s technical team is encouraged by these initial results and will progress additional mapping, sampling and drilling of the Hill Vein.

==> picture [389 x 313] intentionally omitted <==

Lucky Strike and Mineral Hill tenements

Dateline undertook a first pass soil sampling program during the period with approximately 500 samples taken from Lucky Strike and Mineral Hill tenements located in the Green Mountain district of Gunnison and Saguache Counties in Colorado. ALS Geochemistry is assaying these samples at present with results expected shortly.

Further, the Company commenced a Ground Magnetic Survey and Surface Mapping program to identify additional high priority targets for follow-up exploration.

ASX Release 31 October 2019

Grab sampling defines mineralisation extension:

Surface sampling, in conjunction with previously underground sampling and drilling, confirmed that mineralisation extended for at least 225m along the Sacramento Vein. Drill hole SAC14 (pictured above) showed that gold values extended 65m into the footwall. The recently discovered Hill Vein is currently mapped on the surface over a length of 100m and to within 120m of the Sacramento Vein.

The data indicates that mineralisation extends from 325m north to south, across the currently identified portions of the Sacramento Vein and Hill Vein systems. Both are open along strike and down-dip.

Operations at Udu Project – Fiji:

Management advises that metallurgical test work at the Udu polymetallic project in Fiji is ongoing. The project contains a JORC compliant inferred resource estimate of 4.53 million tonnes averaging 3.9% Zn, 1.2% Cu, 0.14% Pb, 0.26g/t Au, 29g/t Ag and 635ppm As using a 0.5% Zn cut off.

Results from test work are expected in the coming months. Board and management have determined to spend the minimum amount required to retain ownership of the project with joint venture or farm in partner being pursued.

Appointment of Anthony John Ferguson as Non-Executive Director:

During the quarter Dateline further strengthened its Board with the appointment of Anthony John Ferguson as a NonExecutive Director. Mr. Ferguson is an investor, entrepreneur and investment banker with considerable resource sector experience.

The majority of his career was spent with Macquarie Group where he led the natural resources team. He was responsible for advising on multiple large transactions in the mining industry in Australia and internationally. Mr. Ferguson also established Macquarie’s presence in Canada, led its Asian investment banking operations and established the Asia Resources Fund. His career also included three years in senior roles at Rothschild Investment Bank.

Corporate:

The Company expended $1,525m during the current period, predominately on exploration activities with corporate costs remaining low. Dateline is well capitalised with ~$3.3m of cash at bank as at 30 September 2019.

Management commentary:

Managing Director Stephen Baghdadi said: “The September quarter has been a period of solid achievement for Dateline. The Company continued to advance exploration activities predominantly with the ongoing comprehensive RC drilling program which was undertaken to determine if existing veins continued below the known workings. We have successfully confirmed this through the initial phase of this drill program.

“The discovery of the Hill Vein and the extension of mineralisation across the project area provides Dateline with considerable optionality and potential upside as it plans the next phase of the works program at the Gold Links Project.

“Dateline maintains a healthy cash balance matched with a low-cost base with the vast majority of funds deployed in the ground. We look forward to progressing additional exploration initiatives this quarter and reporting assay results progressively over the coming months.”
