SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / December 3, 2025 / Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR,OTC:DTREF)(OTCQB:DTREF)(FSE:YE1) is pleased to announce further drilling results at its 100%-owned Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Element (REE) Project in San Bernardino County, California. The results from a further two reverse circulation (RC) holes drilled below the North Pit have provided gold assay results that exceed the mineral resource grade for the Indicated blocks that they intercepted, with the expectation that this result will improve the mineral resource grade for the blocks in the vicinity when a new mineral resource estimate is undertaken early in 2026.
Highlights
Strong gold intercepts confirm the continuity of mineralisation at depth in the North Pipe:
RC25-001 returned 64.0m @ 1.24 g/t Au from 0m (beneath the existing north pit)
Incl. 1.52m @ 3.17g/t Au from 3.05m
And 1.52m @ 5.68g/t Aufrom 30.48m
And 7.66m @ 3.16g/t Aufrom 53.34m
RC25-004 returned 132.58m @ 0.95 g/t Au from 3.05m
Incl. 3.05m @ 3.25g/t Aufrom 27.43m
Incl 3.05m @ 7.09g/t Aufrom 112.8m
RC25-001 returned a broad intercept of 64.0m @ 1.24g/t Aufrom surface, including a high-grade zone of 7.66m @ 3.16g/t Aufrom 53.34m.
RC25-004 had a broad intercept of 132.58m @ 0.95g/t Aufrom 3.05m. incl 3.05m @ 3.25g/t Aufrom 27.43m and 3.05m @ 7.09g/t Aufrom 112.8m).
Both of these holes have returned higher grades than currently estimated in the Indicated mineral resource blocks they intercepted.

Drilling was suspended for the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States and is planned to recommence in the coming days.
Dateline will continue to update shareholders as additional assay results are received and as the Bankable Feasibility Study progresses. The Company remains confident that the drilling program will confirm the feasibility of the Colosseum Gold-REE Project by better defining the mineral resource base and de-risking the path to production.
