Exploration Geologist

Dateline Resources Limited is an Australian-owned mining company currently developing its 100% owned Colosseum Gold and Rare Earths Project in San Bernardino County, California. With construction planned from mid-2026 and production targeted for mid-2027, the Colosseum Project represents a significant opportunity within a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction. The project includes a 1.1Moz gold mineral resource, and additional potential for rare earth mineralisation that is geologically linked to the nearby Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine. The Colosseum Mine is located in the Walker Lane Trend within California with two existing open pits that were mined from 1930-1993, with gold mineralization first discovered in 1865. The Colosseum deposit is located at the southern end of the Sevier foreland thrust belt in the southern Basin and Range Province.
