Dateline has its senior management in Australia and its primary development assets and operations in the United States. The bans on international travel and uncertainties in financial markets were issues that had to be dealt with. The Operations Review and Managing Director’s Report shows that not only these and many other difficulties were overcome, but also shows that very considerable progress has been achieved towards our objective of becoming a North American gold developer and producer. An underground development and drilling programme was planned for the Gold Links project in Colorado. At the date of this report, it is well advanced and the company should have information in the next few months to allow consideration of the decision to commence mining and ore processing through our wholly owned mill. Our ambitions to increase our presence in North America were also advanced by the soon to be completed acquisition of the Colosseum Gold Mine in California from LAC Minerals (USA) LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation. Mining commenced at Colosseum with a 1.1 million ounce resource, but the mine closed in 1993 when 344,000 ounces had been recovered because the gold price had fallen to around US $350 per ounce making further production uneconomic. Dateline is still in the process of and reviewing the extensive data base that came with the acquisition. Reviews so far support the view that there is excellent potential to redefine the remaining mineralisation and gain a better understanding of the overall potential of the project. The credit for managing the company through this period, and for its strategic achievements, goes to our managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi. He has kept the core operations and key people together when financial markets made development funding conjectural. He negotiated and secured a funding package to support the Gold Links development and has managed its implementation and established operating processes and procedures. One measure of success is that we can report no Lost Time Injuries for the reporting period. Stephen also found and negotiated the agreement to acquire the Colosseum mine from Barrick, which has the potential to turn into a very substantial mineral resource for the company. Despite the unprecedented and difficult conditions, Dateline has made great progress and the credit for this achievement goes to Stephen. I would also like to note the retirement of John Smith, Dateline’s long serving Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary. John has had to deal with difficult and uncertain times — as well as rapid progress— in the development of the company. His last day with Dateline will be October 31, 2021 and we thank him for his contributions and wish him well for the future. Yours faithfully Mark Johnson AO Chairman " ....very considerable progress has been achieved towards our objective of becoming a North American gold developer and producer. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT DATELINE RESOURCES 4 Operations Review Overview The Company made significant progress in its plans to become a US gold producer with the commencement of underground development and drilling at Gold Links and the acquisition of the Colosseum Gold Mine in California.
