GOLD LINKS

There is a large body of data and records concerning the project area, and Dateline has commenced review of this body of data by a Competent Person. The data is compelling and includes the history of mining and exploration activities dating back 130 years within the Gold Links Project area.

This area of more than 2,000 acres includes 4 historic mines and extends over 4 kilometres along Gold Creek in Gunnison county.

The key points are:

  • Over 150koz of high-grade gold was mined from four gold zones; (ASX: DTR 8 Feb 2019).

  • Veins mined in the gold zones had the same orientation, were steeply dipping and ranged from 0.5m to 4m in thickness. (ASX: DTR 8 Feb 2019).

  • High grade ore extracted from the Lyons winze in 1915, with 9 reported grades indicating a range between 89g/t to 287g/t; and similar ore extracted from the Morris winze in 1922, with 5 reported grades , indicating a range between 81g/t to 240g/t (ASX: DTR 8 Feb 2019).

  • Dateline’s recently completed sampling of 2150 vein ranging from 0.7m @ 0.07 g/t to 1.2m @ 250 g/t, including assays of 1.2m @ 38g/t, and a grab sample of 151 g/t (ASX: DTR 8 Feb 2019).

  • Adits were driven from the valley floor to access known gold zones.

  • Numerous veins were intersected in the adits but were never fully explored nor developed.

  • Although limited, exploration and development below the adit levels confirm that mineralisation exists below the previous workings. (ASX: DTR 8 Feb 2019).

  • With modern geology and geochemistry the ore zones are now well understood, continuous and easy to identify.

Completed work that had been done by Dateline to significantly de-risk the project includes:

  • Acquiring the freehold land that hosts the mineralisation. In the USA, owning the freehold means owning the mineralisation below it;

  • Digitising historic maps, exploration and production reports;

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

  • Linking vendor payments to production;

  • Drilling and sampling the project area and intercepting high values of gold (ASX:DTR 21 Feb, 10 Oct and 27 Nov 2018).

  • Validating some of the exceptional historical exploration data by re-assaying drill core (ASX: DTR 10 Oct 2018);

  • Consolidating the 250+ separate mining claims into a single entity;

  • Securing a 100% owned and fully operational processing plant, modernised in 2013 by the former owners at a cost of US$6m with all approvals in place.

  • Ensuring all permits and approvals to commence exploration, development, mining and processing activities are in place; and,

  • Recruiting a highly competent operational team capable of executing the company’s plans in Colorado.

In 2018 a small block of ore was mined near surface within the Gold Links Project area and processed. Flotation concentrate grades of up to 767 g/t Au (ASX: DTR 30 Jul 2018).

Metallurgy and ore processing are usually one the biggest impediments for companies to move into the production phase. Dateline has the advantage of knowing that there are no metallurgical impediments, nasty bi-products or costly metallurgical test-work required to successfully process the ore.

All the hard work, time and effort that has already been completed for Dateline to allow for a smooth, quick and low-cost transition from exploration to production. For many exploration companies this process can take between 3 to 5 years to complete after exploration drilling has been finalised. For Dateline it will be under twelve months. This is a significant advantage and rare for a start-up project to be in such an advanced position.

The Strategy

The Board is confident that there is potential for extensions along strike and at depth of the existing four known gold zones, based on historical information and site evaluation by the company. There is similar potential in several unexplored stacked ore zones which, if realised, will mean that Dateline Resources will become a long-term, mid-tier gold producer.

To achieve this Dateline Resources has decided on a simple but effective strategy, to look for more gold directly below and in between where gold has previously been found.

On completion of the first drilling target Dateline will review the results and evaluate potential mining methods, processing and production rates and future exploration with the objective of becoming a mid-tier gold producer with a long mine life. The timeline for our exploration programme indicates extension of the existing Reynolds decline commencing in March, followed by diamond drilling and then resources modelling, to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2019.

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Dateline Resources Limited (the “Company”) covers the period from 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2018 (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 15 March 2019.

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 2018 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 2018. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces AASB 119 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts. These new standards are effective for the Company from 1 July 2018. The Company has performed an assessment and concluded that no transitional adjustments were required as a result of complying with the new requirements.

There are no other new accounting standards and interpretations that have been published and have been early adopted for the 31 December 2018 reporting period that are material to the financial statements.

(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 $1,903,952 (2017: $1,529,620 loss) a net cash outflow of $15,821 (2017: $772,368 inflow) and net cash out flow from operations of $549,524 (2017: $1,010,045). As at 31 December 2018, the consolidated entity also had a deficiency in working capital of $8,790,536 (2017: $3,581,598 deficiency in working capital) and cash assets of $76,027 (2017: $1,033,647).

13 | P a g e

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

The Directors note that as announced on 14 March 2019, the consolidated entity had raised $6,481,472 (note 16) from the shortfall arising from the renounceable rights issue (‘RI’) which closed on 31.1.19. This represents a total of $13,789,071 raised from the RI as at the date of this report. The Directors are very confident that the remaining $700,845 capable of being raised from the RI will be placed with shareholders and or sophisticated investors before 30 April, 2019 in accordance with the RI offer booklet.

$6,646,490 of the consolidated entity’s debt was converted into shares as a result of the rights issue mentioned above. The majority of the remaining funds raised from the rights issue are expected to be applied to finance a short term exploration program.

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

  • Commence mining at Gunnison, as soon as possible;

  • 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.

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

Gold Price per Ounce

  • (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 or commencing mining operations. These conditions, 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.

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 2018 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility (continued)

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.
