3. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX: DTR) is an Australian publicly listed company focused on gold mining and exploration in Colorado, United States of America. The Company owns 100% of the Gold Links project which is located in Gunnison County.

The Gold Links project is comprised of several contiguous historic gold mines that have been consolidated by the company, and has produced up to 150,000 oz of high-grade gold (see ASX announcement of 8 February 2019).

Mineralisation can be traced on surface and underground for almost 6km from the Northern to the Southern sections of the project. Well documented records indicate that there are large areas that remain untested at surface and little to no exploration has been done below the valley floor.

Dateline also owns the Green Mountain project which includes Lucky Strike and Mineral Hill permitted gold properties and has recommissioned a gold processing plant located at the Lucky Strike Mine. The Gold Links and the Lucky Strike are located approximately 50km apart.

The Company is reviewing its interest in Fiji with a view to identifying a Joint Venture partner that would enter a farm in agreement on its Fijian assets.

Dateline seeks to create value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify resource assets. Once an asset has been developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the Group may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore which is then sold as a primary product.

The company has spent the past two years consolidating ownership of several historic gold mines in the Gold Brick district of Gunnison County Colorado.

The company has undertaken a major development, exploration and acquisition program in Colorado that included ~1000ft decline and over 10,000ft of diamond drilling plus the recommissioning of the Lucky Strike Mill and the sale of our first concentrate produced from commissioning ore.

Assays from the drill core confirmed the existence of high-grade shoots of ore. This was a key driver in deciding to acquire additional ground in the region. The company has progressed from having a single lease over ~400 acres to owning ~1700 acres of freehold and all the underlying mineral rights. It is the first time in the regions history that a single entity has been able to consolidate the majority of the land that makes up what is referred to as the Gold Brick district in Gunnison Colorado.

In the process of acquiring the assets, the Company was able to extinguish USD20,000,000 of near term and contingent liabilities and retain outright ownership of all the assets.

As a result of the consolidation, the Company is now able to apply an understanding of the regional geology to implement targeted exploration programs that aim to prove up a JORC compliant resource.

FIJI

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.

The Board and management have determined to spend the minimum amount required to retain ownership of the project and actively pursue a joint venture or farm in partner.

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Dateline Resources Limited (the “Company”) covers the period from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020 (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 9 April 2021.

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 2020 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 2020. 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 $1,063,309 (2019: $1,780,012 loss) a net cash inflow of $18,732 (2019: $3,354,811 outflow) and net cash out flow from operations of $882,783 (2019: $867,320). As at 31 December 2020, the consolidated entity also had a deficiency in working capital of $1,167,923 (June 2020 : $1,075,676 deficiency in working capital) and cash assets of $177,094 (June 2020 : $158,362).

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. As detailed in Note 16 to these accounts the Company has taken steps to ensure that it has adequate working capital to not only satisfy existing commitments but to also future expenditure required to meet its objectives. These include:

  • A completed capital raising in March 2021 of $1,087,500, and

12 | P a g e

DATELINE RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

  • The finalisation in March 2021 of a US$6,843,000 (approximately A$8,840,000) loan facility at attractive rates which is repayable over a 10 year period. 91 million shares were issued on 9 April 2021 as a fee to the facilitators of this facility.

As a result of the above, the Company is very well placed to execute its corporate strategy and the directors believe that the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial report of the Group is appropriate and that no material uncertainty exists that would alter this opinion. No adjustment has been made in relation to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

(c) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

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 Managing Director in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of Dateline Resources Limited

Report on the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Dateline Resources Limited (“the company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, 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 half-year.

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

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards ) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibility of the Directors for the 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.

23 | P a g e

==> picture [594 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

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.
