Trump did not open this mine just to give them a grant. And by opening the mine, meaning the BLM (Under the DoI) returned the status of the mine to active by reinstating the original mining permit under the protection of the Miners act of 1842. Doing this, required the BLM to remove its protected status that reclaimed the mine in the Mojave Desert Preservation Act of 1994 (the same act that prevented Barrick from mining the gold, and therefor selling it to Dateline for less than pennies on the dollar).
They will probably give them initial funding (possibly via a grant) in return for future equity (which the govt will given stock at some point...i.e NASDAQ/NYSE uplist) and guaranteed claim to produced resources. Dateline needs cash to expedite operations. So my guess it's both grant and equity in some form or fashion.
