CAPITAL RAISING TO ACCELERATE HIGH IMPACT NI-CU AND AU EXPLORATION
Dreadnought Resources Ltd. (“ Dreadnought ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully entered into a number of arrangements to raise in excess of $1.1 million (see Capital Raising details below).
Funds raised will provide important funding for Dreadnought’s growth strategy. This funding allows for further exploration and diamond drilling at the Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project (Q3 CY2019), acquisition and drilling at the Illaara Gold Project (H2 CY2019) and for working capital purposes.
Dreadnought Chairman, Paul Chapman, commented “This comprehensive funding plan will provide important funding for Dreadnought’s growth strategy. This funding allows for the acquisition and drilling of the Illaara Greenstone Belt from Newmont Goldcorp, diamond drilling at Tarraji-Yampi and working capital. Our updated Investor Presentation shows Dreadnought’s exciting growth opportunities as we look to embark on high impact nickelcopper and gold drilling programs over the coming quarters.”
Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project
Dreadnought controls over 870 sq kms of the highly prospective West Kimberley located only 85 kms from Derby, WA. The Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project was locked up as a Defence reserve for >40 years and has only recently been opened up under the Commonwealth’s coexistence regime. Consequently, the area has seen minimal exploration since the 1950s and has numerous pre-WW1 workings and outcropping mineralisation. Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji-Yampi including: volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS); Proterozoic Cu-Au (IOCG); and magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE. Within these mineralization styles, numerous high priority Ni-Cu-Au targets have been identified from recent VTEM surveys, historical geochemical sampling and outcropping mineralisation . Drilling approvals are well advanced with drilling to commence in Q3 CY2019.
Illaara Gold Project (100% owned on Completion)
Dreadnought has today announced the acquisition of the extensive Illaara Greenstone Belt (~75km long, 726 sq kms) from Newmont GoldCorp. This underexplored project is prospective for gold and is located ~160kms NW of Kalgoorlie, WA. Illaara is a project that can be readily accessed all year round and compliments Tarraji-Yampi in that Illaara can be worked during the Kimberley wet season. Illaara has high quality drill ready targets that are heritage cleared and have 33kms of drill tracks installed. Top priority is the major 10km long gold anomaly at Illaara Central. Completion of this acquisition (Q3 CY2019) is conditional upon regulatory and other approvals as well as the tenements being transferred in good standing.

Capital Raising Details
Details of the Capital Raising are summarised below:
-
Placement to Sophisticated Investors: firm placement commitments have been received from professional and sophisticated investors to raise $495,395 at $0.003 per share before costs. Dreadnought will be utilising its placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 (116,588,904 shares) and 7.1A (48,542,763 shares) for the Placement to Sophisticated Investors. The Placement is expected to settle on or around Wednesday 3 July 2019.
-
Share Purchase Plan: eligible shareholders will be provided with the opportunity to participate in a share purchase plan to subscribe for ordinary, fully paid shares in Dreadnought at the same price as professional and sophisticated investors being $0.003. The right to participate in the Offer under the Share Purchase Plan is optional and is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of Dreadnought with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand at 5.00pm (WST) on the Record Date of 21 June 2019. Further details of the Share Purchase Plan are shown in Attachment A.
-
Convertible Note Deed: 600,000 Convertible Notes are to be issued subject to shareholder approval each with a face value of $1.00 to raise $600,000. The Convertible Notes bear interest at 10% pa, have a Conversion Price of $0.0055 and have a Maturity Date of 19 June 2021. Further details of the Convertible Note Terms are shown in Attachment B. The issue of the Convertible Notes is subject to approval at a General Meeting of shareholders to be held in early August 2019.
-
Small Shareholding Sale Facility: Dreadnought has 2,262 shareholders of which 1,797 shareholders hold less than a marketable parcel of shares as defined in the ASX Listing Rules (i.e., below a value of $500 or 125,000 shares) as at the Record Date of 21 June 2019 based on a share price of $0.004 There are administrative costs which apply regardless of the size of a shareholding. As such, the cost associated with unmarketable parcels on the register is disproportionately high and at present a cost burden for Dreadnought. Further details of the Small Shareholding Sale Facility are shown in Attachment C. This explains that, unless those shareholders advise the Company that they wish to retain their shares, those shares will be sold on market and the proceeds remitted to them free from brokerage and handling fees. Those shareholders who wish to retain their shares must return to the share registrar a completed version of the Notice of Retention of Shares Form or participate in the Share Purchase Plan.

| Summary of risks | All investments are subject to risks. An investment in the Company is subject to risks specific to the Company and to general risks such as economic conditions, variations in the local and global markets for listed shares, or mining and exploration companies in particular and demand for commodities. While it is impossible to identify all risks, we draw your attention to the following risks associated with an investment in the Company: (a) the Company may require additional funds to carry out further exploration or development of existing or new projects. The Company’s ability to raise those funds within an acceptable time frame, and on terms acceptable to the Company, will vary according to a number of factors; (b) exploration by its nature contains elements of significant risk. Ultimate success depends on the discovery of economically recoverable resources, obtaining the necessary titles and governmental regulatory approvals and obtaining suitable finance for mining operations, if and when a decision to mine is made; (c) the Company’s success depends on the competencies of its directors and senior management. The loss of one or more of the Company’s directors or senior management could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and operations; (d) the Company’s projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental matters. The Company’s activities and operations cannot be carried out without prior approval by all relevant authorities; (e) the Company has signed various contracts with others. There is a risk of financial failure or default by the other party to these arrangements. Any breach or failure may lead to penalties or termination of the relevant contract. |

Attachment C. Small Shareholding Sale Facility Terms
Dreadnought Resources Ltd. ( Dreadnought or the Company ) (ASX: DRE) advises that it has established a Small Shareholding Sale Facility.
A small shareholding (" Unmarketable Parcel ") is defined by the ASX Listing Rules as a shareholding with a market value of less than $500. Dreadnought is providing the facility to enable holders of Unmarketable Parcels to sell their shares without incurring brokerage and handling costs which could otherwise make the sale uneconomic or impractical. Shareholders with Unmarketable Parcels are not obliged to sell their shares. However, they will need to opt out of the facility or their shares will be automatically sold for them.
As at market close on 21 June 2019, (“ Record Date ”), an Unmarketable Parcel of shares in the Company is any shareholding of 125,000 shares or less, based on the closing price of $0.004 per share. This represents 27,109,941 ordinary shares in the Company, held by 1,797 shareholders (representing approximately 2% of total issued capital).
By facilitating the sale of Unmarketable Parcels, Dreadnought will reduce the costs associated with maintaining a large number of small holdings. E.L. & C. Baillieu has been appointed as the nominee for shares sold under the facility. Sales proceeds will be forwarded to participating shareholders as soon as practicable following settlement of the last sale of shares on a pro rata basis. All associated costs and brokerage fees will be paid by Dreadnought, excluding any tax consequences, which will remain the shareholder’s responsibility.
