SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / December 15, 2025 / Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR,OTC:DTREF)(OTCQB:DTREF)(FSE:YE1) is pleased to announce further high-grade drilling results at its 100%-owned Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Element (REE) Project in San Bernardino County, California. The results from a further twelve reverse circulation (RC) holes drilled below the South and North Pits have provided gold assay results that improve the continuity of mineralisation and in several instances, deliver grades that exceed the existing mineral resource grade.
Of note, RC25-002 and RC25-006 were drilled on the south-east side of the North Pit mineral resource, not far from RC25-001 and RC25-004 that were recently reported (see Figures 1 and 2). This area demonstrates a broad zone of mineralisation with grades comparable with the existing mineral resource but contains a high-grade core (RC25-002 - 10.67m @ 7.27g/t Au, RC25-006 - 13.72m @ 4.48g/t Au) with grades that are significantly higher than the mineral resource.
Highlights
High-grade gold intercepts further strengthen the mineralisation model in the North Pipe:
RC25-002 returned 62.48m @ 2.52 g/t Au from 25.91m
Incl. 10.67m @ 7.27g/t Au from 39.62m
RC25-006 returned 108.20m @ 1.18 g/t Au from 9.14m
Incl. 13.72m @ 4.48g/t Au from 56.39m
RC25-020 returned 117.34m @ 1.01 g/t Au from 0m
Incl. 9.14m @ 1.84g/t Au from 36.57m
Commenting on the new results, Dateline's Managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi, commented:
"These newly reported results come from an area that was sparsely populated in the previous mineral resource model. The overall mineralised envelope and grade matches what we anticipated in this area and the high-grade core has delivered excellent grades and widths.
"The North Pit is currently scheduled to be the first area to be mined in the schedule and the addition of high-grade ounces could improve the mine production in the early years of the project."

Following the Thanksgiving break, drilling has resumed with one rig before the scheduled Christmas-New Years break.
Assay results will continue to be released as they are received and analysed.

On 6 June 2024, the Company announced to the ASX that the Colosseum Gold mine has a JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource estimate of 27.1Mt @ 1.26g/t Au for 1.1Moz. Of the total Mineral Resource, 455koz @ 1.47/t Au (41%) are classified as Measured, 281koz @1.21g/t Au (26%) as Indicated and 364koz @ 1.10g/t Au (33%) as Inferred.
On 23 May 2025, Dateline announced that updated economics for the Colosseum Gold Project generated an NPV6.5 of US$550 million and an IRR of 61% using a gold price of US$2,900/oz.
