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.
This is an opportunity to join an exciting project from commencement, and to play a key leadership role in establishing world-class environmental, health, and safety standards for a major gold and rare earths development in California.
