American Marconi Wireless News - Geophysics Converge Ahead of Colosseum Deeper Drill Program

SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTCQB:DTREF)(FSE:YE1) is pleased to announce the completion of infill gravity, magnetic and radiometric surveys at its 100%-owned Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Project in California, USA. This follows the completion of an induced polarisation (IP) survey across the project in December 2025.

All newly acquired geophysical datasets are being integrated to progressively sharpen drill targeting across the key structural corridors identified by earlier programs. This work is expected to transition the Company from broad-based target definition to highly focused drill testing. Diamond core drilling rigs are scheduled to begin arriving on site next week.

Infill Geophysics Program - Scope and Completion

The infill program completed was comprised of:

• A high-resolution ground gravity survey consisting of 543 stations collected on a 100 m × 100 m grid, providing detailed density coverage across the central project area.

• A magnetic and radiometric survey at 50m line spacing covering approximately 8.6 km² delivering high-resolution magnetic and radiometric datasets.

The surveys were designed to improve resolution over areas where earlier IP and MT data identified deep chargeability and conductivity features interpreted to be structurally controlled and potentially associated with gold mineralisation and/or REE-bearing carbonatite intrusions.

Dateline's Managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi, commented:

"The data continues to support the presence of a large mineral system, with deep structural and sulphide-hosted features interpreted as mineralising plumbing extending beyond the known near-surface ore zones. The integration of these high-quality geophysical datasets is a deliberate step to sharpen drill targeting and maximise the effectiveness of the forthcoming drilling campaign. With several targets interpreted at depths of approximately 500-1,000 metres, this approach ensures that drilling is highly focused, technically informed and capital-efficient as the Company advances into deeper, more technically demanding drill testing."

Figure 1: Preliminary TMI Magnetics from the recently completed survey at Colosseum. The colours represent variations in magnetic susceptibility within the shallow subsurface. Red and pink zones indicate magnetic highs reflecting magnetite bearing intrusive rocks, altered breccia bodies. Blue zones indicate magnetic lows point to zones of destruction or alteration of magnetite. Encouragingly, the magnetic data is aligned with the magneto-telluric and IP surveys as disclosed to the market on January 27, 2026

Figure 2: Preliminary Bouguer Gravity from the recently completed survey at Colosseum. The red and pink zones indicate higher density rocks, whilst the green and blues indicate lower density rocks (such as sediments). The strong gravity high on the eastern side points to dense intrusive or altered bodies at depth (alkaline intrusive rocks, breccia pipe roots, or carbonatite related material). There also appears to be a sharp N-S gravity gradient that aligns with the Clark Mountain fault.

Figure 3: Preliminary Radiometrics (Total Count) from the recently completed survey at Colosseum. Dose rate represents the combined gamma radiation from potassium, thorium, and uranium in the upper soil and rock profile. Elevated total counts reflect enrichment in potassium, thorium, and uranium associated with alkaline intrusive rocks and hydrothermal alteration, highlighting structural corridors and targets prospective for gold and rare earth mineralisation.

Data Integration and Interpretation

The complete geophysical dataset, including the new infill gravity, magnetic and radiometric data together with previously completed IP and MT surveys, is currently being reviewed and integrated by Mitre Geophysics.

This integrated interpretation is focused on:

• Refining the geometry and continuity of the structures,

• Linking deep geophysical responses to mapped geology, structural features and previously identified geochemical and alteration signatures; and

• Finalising priority drill targets where multiple geophysical datasets converge.

Drilling Update

As previously advised, diamond drill rigs remain scheduled to arrive on site next week. Drill planning is progressing in parallel with the ongoing geophysical interpretation, with the objective of testing the highest-priority targets identified from the integrated dataset.

Further updates will be provided as interpretation is finalised and drilling commences.

About Dateline Resources Limited

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTCQB:DTREF)(FSE:YE1) is an Australian company focused on mining and exploration in North America. The Company owns 100% of the Colosseum Gold-REE Project in California.

The Colosseum Gold Mine is located in the Walker Lane Trend in East San Bernardino County, California. 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.

The Colosseum is located less than 10km north of the Mountain Pass Rare Earth mine. Planning has commenced on drill testing the REE potential at Colosseum.

Dateline also owns 100% of the high-grade Argos Strontium Project, also located in San Bernardino County, California. Argos is reportedly the largest strontium deposit in the U.S. with previous celestite production grading 95%+ SrSO₄.
