Dateline Resources Limited announced the production of saleable gold concentrate from the Gold Links mine in Colorado, USA. During the months of March and April, the company trucked ore from the Gold Links mine and processed it at the Lucky Strike Mill (The mill). The mill operated on a 24-hour basis for four days per week using mostly diluted development ore.

To date, the Company has produced 12 tons of saleable gold concentrate. A bigger sample size has been collected from 11 bags of concentrate including the first three and have been split equally to be assayed by two separate labs. Milling at the Lucky Strike will commence operations on a 24/7 basis in May 2022.

The Company has entered into an equipment supply agreement with Komatsu USA for the supply of a fleet of new/near new mining equipment for Gold Links. The first three items were delivered in April and the remaining two items will be delivered in late May and June 2022. The supply of the new mining fleet and ramping up of processing rates means that the Company was able to recruit new experienced personnel and move to a 24/7 schedule for mining activities.

The Company reported that processing at the Company's 100% owned Lucky Strike processing plant is progressing well, with no major issues identified. Most of the commissioning activities were undertaken using low to medium-grade development ore. The mill was operated on a four day a week basis which necessitated almost two days out of four for shut down and start-up of the mill.

The newly acquired 250tpd mill and associated flotation circuit in the process of being installed and expected to be operational in June 2022. To date, approximately 12 tons of concentrate has been produced for sale. The Company is in the final stages of completing a competitive tender process for offtake from Gold Links, with the Company narrowing down the potential offtake parties to three.

The first concentrate sale is expected to be completed in late April/early May with regular shipments thereafter. The Company has made the decision to transition from a contract miner to owner miner model and has entered into an equipment supply agreement with Komatsu USA to facilitate this change. The new/near new equipment, which includes trucks, boggers and a jumbo, will be delivered to site starting April.

As an owner miner, the Company will have increased flexibility with regards to the timing of ore vs development mining, whilst the near/near new equipment is expected to provide higher productivity and availability levels than was provided by the mining contractor. Most of the underground mining activities since the start of the year have focused on the establishment of two development drives and the transport of development ore to Lucky Strike for commissioning activities. The Company has recently commenced stoping activities, with high-grade ore being transported to the plant for the first time.

It is expected that stoping activities will increase over the next month as the company move to a 24/7 operation. Underground exploration is continuing, with recent drilling targeting deeper zones to the north of previous drilling. Drill core shows zones of sulphides in line with what is expected with the 2150 vein.

Samples have been sent to the lab and results are pending.
