DTR - Dateline Resources

[System]

Conto Resources Limited (CNO) is an Australian-based exploration company established primarily to acquire, explore, evaluate and exploit gold deposits and explore prospective tenements for other minerals.

The Company has entered into an option and farm-in agreement with Sammy Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly Resources Limited, to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Cardinia Bore Project.

The Cardinia Bore Project is located approximately 28 km ENE of Leonora in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia and consists of 9 tenements covering 1,309 hectares. The region has a long history of gold mining and exploration.

The region is prospective for gold mineralization, with several gold anomalies identified in the general area.

Lone Wolf Project
● Prospecting applications granted for Lone Wolf Project● Exploration and field based work program currently being devised to focus on both existing defined mineralisation and additional targets

The Lone Wolf Project is located approximately 15km northeast of Leonora within the Northeastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The project lies within the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone and consists of two prospecting licence applications covering a total area of approximately 3.2km². To the north-east and east of Leonora the zone is approximately 20km wide and is bounded by the Mt George Shear Zone to the west and the Keith-Killkenny Lineament and Pig Well Graben to the east.

Cardinia Bore Project
● Detailed MMI sampling field work program proposed to be conducted over areas proximal to historical workings and recent high grade rock chip sampling

The Cardinia Bore Project is located approximately 28km ENE of Leonora in the Northeastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and consists of 9 tenements covering 1,309 hectares. The region has an extensive history of gold exploration and mining.

Other projects of interest
In addition to the exploration of Conto’s Cardinia Bore and Lone Wolf Projects, the Company intends to pursue new projects in the resources sector, both in Australia and overseas. These projects include but are not limited to; coal, potash, iron ore, copper and gold.

Cash burn for this quarter will be around $150k, with $50k of that on field work and exploration. I don't expect this to be a catalyst for a SP increase.
A potential acquisition may be the way CNO will move SP wise, this quarter. They certainly have the cash to do it.

Re: CNO - Conto Resources

Very undervalued at the moment.

• Current market cap 5 million (roughly 30 million shares on issue)

• Cash backing per share is 12.2 cents

• Competent Management (Mark Johnson AO/Jonathan King)

• Director recently exercised 250,000 options@20c

• Acquired Advanced Polymetallic Project with JORC resource in Fiji (Springhill was right with his prediction of an acquisition). Previous Drill Results include...

• GPDDH2: 3.2m @ 7.07% Cu & 16.82% Zn from 2.3m
• GPDDH2: 33.2m @ 1.58% Cu & 5.2% Zn from 20 m
• GPDDH3: 5m @ 15.04% Cu & 11.14% Zn from 17.8m
• MUHPDDH2: 8m @ 1.87% Cu & 4.98% Zn from 42m
• UDH024: 4.6m @ 6.29% Cu & 8.42% Zn from 30.4m
• UDH030: 12m @ 3.04% Cu & 1.68% Zn from 13.9m
• UDH032: 3m @ 3.92% Cu & 8.71% Zn from 121m
• UDH033: 2m @ 5.43% Cu & 11.72% Zn from 83m
• UDH035: 6m @ 1.65% Cu & 22.1% Zn from 40m
• UDH038: 2.6m @ 12.82% Cu & 1.41% Zn from 21.4m
• UDH038: 4m @ 4% Cu & 30.32% Zn from 32m

• Currently drilling (Results around Christmas/New Year)

Worth looking into. Perhaps. Just wanted to bring it to people's attention since it's kind of fallen by the wayside.

Re: CNO - Conto Resources

Someone call the fire brigade, today's announcement certainly light a fire under CNO's share price today. Details of announcement below.

On December 23rd, 2013, Conto Resources Limited (CNO) changed its name and ASX code to Dateline Resources Limited (DTR).

 

[greggles]

The Dateline Resources share price is on the move today after the company reported that a radiometric anomaly identified within the Colosseum tenement in California is similar to the nearby Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine.

The USGS data review conducted by DTR has highlighted coincident potassium and thorium radiometric anomalies on the southern end of the Colosseum mining claims. The anomalies cover an area of ~800m x 500m.

The clear inference is that there might be Rare Earth mineralisation at the Colosseum Gold Mine tenement which DTR are in the process of acquiring.

The DTR share price is up 64.6% to 13.5c so far today, which is quite a lot considering that nothing yet has been confirmed. Still, great news for holders.

 

[Dona Ferentes]

from the latest Quarterly; the focus for Dateline DTR has been in commencing underground development and drilling at the Gold Links Project in Colorado and progressing the acquisition of the Colosseum Gold Mine in California.

HIGHLIGHTS

Gold Links Gold Mine

• Underground development program commenced during the quarter, with 430m out of 1000m total program completed.
• Underground diamond drilling also commenced, with 18 holes completed during the quarter and received assay results from 7 completed holes.

Nuts.
Trumpism.
It's a gold mine with good speculative interest/nearology for REE.
One for @tech/a to trade perhaps.

• U.S. Government Endorsement:
The Bureau of Land Management stated:
“The resumption of mining at Colosseum Mine, America’s second rare earth elements mine, supports efforts to bolster America’s capacity to produce the critical materials needed to manufacture the technologies to power our future… Interior continues to support industries that boost the nation’s economy and protect national security.”
• OTCQB Listing in Progress:
Dateline is pursuing an OTCQB listing in the U.S. to improve market access and engagement with U.S. investors. Shares currently trade under the code DTREF.

Rare Earths Drilling Program Preparations Commence at Colosseum Mine, California

Highlights
• Colosseum Mine set for rare earths (REE) drilling program.
• Extensive REE outcrops mapped over ~1 mile, indicate potential for large underlying carbonatite-hosted rare earth deposit .
• Gravity survey identified multiple high-density (gravity) anomalies coincident with surface REE occurrences, providing priority drill targets.
• Renowned REE geologists Dr. Anthony Mariano and Tony Mariano have today confirmed their availability to lead, design and guide the REE exploration program.
• Widespread REE bearing fenite dykes and intrusive rocks, with geophysical data defining high-priority drill targets have been identified.

Colosseum to commence geochemistry and geophysics program targeting new breccia pipes and REE bearing fenites
.
Highlights
• Gravity Data Review: Re-examination of existing 2023 gravity survey data, considering recent geochemical findings, confirms that gravity low anomalies coincide with known breccia pipes and newly discovered felsite outcrops around the Colosseum pits. This correlation strengthens the exploration model and target confidence.
• Expanded Breccia Pipe System: Geological mapping has identified new felsite dykes 200–900 m (656–2,952 ft) west and southwest of the historic open pits. This mapping supports an updated geological interpretation, suggesting the two known pipes are part of a larger cluster.
• The presence of additional, intact gold-bearing breccia pipes beyond the mined areas is now considered highly prospective.
