Dateline will use the money to complete a drilling program at the recently acquired Colosseum Gold Mine and undertake a soil sampling program at Colosseum to evaluate the rare earth potential.
Mr Baghdadi is pleased with the support received and is keen to begin exploration at Colosseum.
“With underground development and drilling currently underway at Gold Links in Colorado and planning advanced for our first field program at Colosseum in California, we are looking forward to a productive six months,” Mr Baghdadi said.
“With a cash balance in excess of $10.5 million post placement, we now have the flexibility to accelerate the Colosseum field program as we continue to advance the development of our Colorado assets towards a decision to mine at Gold Links by the end of 2021.”
Shares in Dateline were steady on the market and trading at 10.5 cents at 1:44 pm AEST.
