DECEMBER 2021 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX: DTR) ( Dateline or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the December 2021 quarter. The Company’s focus during the period was progressing underground development and drilling at the Gold Links Project in Colorado and finalising the acquisition of the Colosseum Gold Mine (Colosseum) in California.

HIGHLIGHTS

Gold Links Gold Mine

  • Underground development program continued, with second escapeway developed during the quarter, allowing for production to commence[1] .

  • Underground diamond drilling intersected high-grade mineralisation with continuity between high-grade zones confirmed[2] .

  • Company approved commencement of production, with ore currently hauled to the Company’s Lucky Strike mill[1] .

  • Completion of acquisition of project from Barrick concluded during the quarter[3] .

  • 2022 field program expected to be finalised in March quarter.

Corporate

  • At the end of the quarter, the Company’s cash balance was $2.47 million.

Commenting on the progress during the quarter, Dateline’s Managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi, said:

“Significant progress was made in the December quarter towards fulfilling our objective of becoming a US-focussed gold producer.

“The Company has commenced stockpiling of ore and expects re-commissioning of the mill to commence in February.

“At Colosseum, the desktop review is nearing completion and we expect to commence implementing a field program in the March quarter.

“The March quarter is shaping up as an exciting one for the Company.”

Gold Links Gold Mine, Colorado

Gold Links hosts a swarm of high-grade narrow gold veins over more than 5km strike length and a kilometre across strike. Historical mapping and drilling coupled with the Company’s own exploration work has confirmed mineralisation is extensive throughout the Project.

Dateline’s 100% owned Lucky Strike Mill will commence processing ore from the Gold Links Mine towards the end of the March quarter[1] .

Approval of underground production stoping[1]

Following the establishment of a second escapeway during the underground development program, the Company approved the commencement of a production program at Gold Links. Figure 1 shows the two egresses to the portals located at the 10000ft and 9600ft levels.

==> picture [519 x 271] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 – Gold Links long section of underground development including routes for both means of egress[1]

The Company has established 100m of accessways over two levels to create two working headings in the Mineral Resource located at the 9900RL. The access ways are shown in Figure 2 below in white and grey dashed lines.

Production commenced on the 9900RL Mineral Resource in late December, with ore being trucked and stockpiled at the Company’s 100% owned Lucky Strike mill. Lucky Strike is configured to operate at 100tpd, however the Company is advanced on plans to increase this to 250tpd, which will materially increase production and reduce unit operating costs.

Processing of ore is expected to commence in the March quarter following the establishment of sufficient stockpiles and re-commissioning of the processing circuit.

Underground Diamond Drilling[2]

Underground diamond drilling at Gold Links returned high-grade gold and silver intersections during the quarter, with results in line with grade and width expectations for the 2150 vein.

Significant results returned during the quarter included[2] :

  • CRG21-027: 1.6m @ 29.2g/t Au & 197g/t Ag incl. 0.6m @ 56.74g/t Au and 384g/t Ag

  • This hole was designed to confirm three historical high-grade intercepts

  • CRG21-025: 1.2m @ 13.92g/t Au & 27g/t Ag and 1.4m @ 5.53g/t Au & 9g/t Ag

  • These two intersections were approximately 7 metres apart. This hole was designed to test further into the hangingwall and in between intercepts from CRG21-004 and CRG21-006, which assayed 9.7g/t Au and 17.95g/t Au respectively as disclosed in the September 2021 Quarterly report.

  • CRG21-026: 0.8m @ 15.74g/t Au & 106g/t Ag

  • This hole was designed to target approximately 50 feet (15.2 metres) south of CRG21-027 and test the strike to the south of the known mineralised envelope.

One of the objectives of drilling during the December quarter was the assessment of a known mineralised zone that was drilled between 1975 and 1985. Drilling had identified two pods of mineralisation along strike from each other, with the current program confirming continuing between them, as can be seen in Figure 3 below.

Colosseum Gold Mine, California

During the quarter, the Company concluded the transaction with LAC Minerals (USA) LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation, for the acquisition of 100% of Colosseum[3] .

The Colosseum Gold Mine is in the southern section of the Walker Lane Trend in California, USA. The Walker Lane Trend hosts numerous substantial discoveries including the Corvus Gold owned 1.7Moz Mother Lode deposit and the 6.5Moz Castle Mountain gold mine owned by Equinox Gold (located 50km to the Southeast of Colosseum).

The primary activities for the December included completing the acquisition, planning of field work and rare earth specialists conducting a site visit to the project.

==> picture [432 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Data Digitising and Planning

Following the completion of the acquisition, the Company continued to digitise the extensive historical data on the Project in order to plan an effective program for Colosseum. The planning of the program is expected in the March quarter and further updates will be provided once complete.

Rare Earth Potential

During the quarter, two US rare earth specialists, Anthony Mariano Jr. and Anthony N. Mariano, PhD., visited the Colosseum Project to complete a field visit looking at the rare earth potential of the project. Dr Mariano has previously investigated Mountain Pass and the surrounding region. A recommended follow up program for a detailed analysis has been proposed and the Company may include this program as part of the 2022 field plans.

ASX Release 31 January 2022

ASX Release 31 January 2022

About Dateline Resources Limited

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX: DTR) is an Australian publicly listed company focused on gold mining and exploration in North America. The Company owns 100% of the Gold Links and Green Mountain Projects in Colorado, USA as well as the Colosseum Gold Mine in California.

The Gold Links Gold Mine is a historic high-grade gold mining project where over 150,000 ounces of gold was mined from high-grade veins. Mineralisation can be traced on surface and underground for almost 6km from the Northern to the Southern sections of the project. The Company aims to delineate sufficient Mineral Resources to commence a small high-grade, low-cost operation by the end of 2021.

The Company owns the Lucky Strike gold mill, located 50km from the Gold Links mine, within the Green Mountain Project. It is proposed that ore from Gold Links would be transported to Lucky Strike for processing.

The Colosseum Gold Mine is located in the Walker Lane Trend in East San Bernardino County, California and produced approximately 344,000 ounces of gold (see ASX release 15 March 2021). Significant potential remains for extension to mineralisation at depth.

Competent Person Statement

Sample preparation and any exploration information in this announcement is based upon work reviewed by Mr Greg Hall who is a Chartered Professional of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CPIMM). Mr Hall has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to quality as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" (JORC Code). Mr Hall is a Non-Executive Director of Dateline Resources Limited and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
