Why OTCQB?

U.S. Dollar trading, U.S. market hours — US investors can buy/sell DTREF shares directly without currency conversion or time-zone delays.

Improved accessibility & liquidity — OTCQB dual listing makes investing simpler than using foreign brokerages.

Transparency standards — Companies on OTCQB must meet minimum bid price, current financial reporting, audited statements, annual certifications and a 10% public float.

Foreign issuer benefits — International companies like Dateline can leverage domestic reporting (ASX/ASIC) and cross-trade under Rule 12g3‑2(b), avoiding U.S. SEC registration.
