2019 FIELD PROGRAM COMMENCES AT THE TARRAJI-YAMPI NI-CU-AU PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Surface sampling and reconnaissance surveys of high priority Ni-Cu-Au targets has commenced

  • Ground Fixed-Loop Electro-Magnetic (“FLEM”) surveys over priority massive sulphide targets underway

  • Detailed definition of priority drill targets to be completed by mid-June 2019

  • Drilling approvals well advanced:

  • Heritage and environmental surveys planned for July 2019

  • Programme of Works lodged

  • Drilling to commence in September 2019 quarter

Dreadnought Resources Ltd (“Dreadnought” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the 2019 field program at the Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project (“Tarraji” or “the Project”) in the West Kimberley Region of Western Australia has commenced.

==> picture [251 x 335] intentionally omitted <==

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented “The commencement of the 2019 field season is a major milestone for Dreadnought. Observations from my recent field trip have confirmed the significant potential at Tarraji and our forthcoming drill program will be exciting. This area has not seen exploration for over 40 years, applying modern techniques like our FLEM survey will help us unlock the full potential of Tarraji. Furthermore, I look forward to continuing to build strong relationships with our local stakeholders including the Department of Defence, Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation and the people and businesses in Derby.”

Background on Tarraji Ni-Cu-Au Project

Dreadnought controls over 870 sq kms of the highly prospective West Kimberley located only 85 kms from Derby, Western Australia (see Figure 2). The project area was locked up as a military reserve for >40 years and has only recently been opened up under the Commonwealth Government’s coexistence regime that balances Defence needs with the requirements of others including Aboriginal groups, the resources industry, pastoralists and State Governments. 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 including: volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”); Proterozoic Cu-Au; and magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE (see Figure 2). Within these mineralisation styles, numerous high priority Ni-Cu-Au targets have been identified from recent VTEM surveys, historical geochemical sampling and outcropping mineralisation.

Summary of Initial Field Program

The initial field program is focused on the Texas Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic sulphide target, the Chianti CuZn-Pb-Ag VMS target and a number of outcropping Cu-Au targets (see Figure 2). The objectives of this initial field program are to:

  • Complete initial heritage reconnaissance over priority targets;

  • Develop a logistical plan for 2019;

  • Undertake mapping and rock chipping of surficial exposures of bedrock and mineralisation;

  • Complete FLEM surveys to define EM plates for drill testing; and

  • Provide further definition of high priority drill targets for drilling commencing in the September 2019 quarter.

The initial heritage reconnaissance and a welcome to country smoking ceremony were conducted by helicopter with representatives of the Dambimangari people, the Traditional Owners of the project area (see Figure 3). The site visit and ceremony were conducted on the first day of the program and indicated that there were no significant ethnographic sites that would be impacted by the planned work.

In terms of logistics, the Department of Defence is grading all roads into the area. Logistical planning is still underway but early observations indicate that drill site access will not require significant, if any, earthworks due to the open and generally flat grassland country.

Initial reconnaissance work at all targets consists of mapping and rock chipping surficial exposures of bedrock and mineralisation.

For the VMS and magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphide targets, Southern Geoscience Consultants (“SGC”) are currently undertaking FLEM surveys to define EM plates for drill testing.

The initial field program is expected to be completed by the end of May 2019. Rock chip assay results, FLEM results and proposed drilling locations will be released as received. The results of this program will define high priority drill targets for drill testing commencing in the September 2019 quarter.

Texas Ni-Cu-PGE Target

The Texas Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic sulphide target is similar in style to Buxton and IGO’s Double Magic project (50kms to the SE) and Panoramic’s Savannah Ni-Cu-Co mine in the East Kimberley. Texas has a coincident airborne EM and magnetic anomaly hosted within a thick outcropping Ruins Dolerite sequence (see Figure 4).

Figure 4: Three images showing the magnetics (L), airborne EM (C), and Ruins Dolerite (R) at Tarraji – Texas anomaly to the NW.

Importantly, surface sampling and mapping has confirmed outcropping fine grained to porphyritic Ruins Dolerite with local brecciation and disseminated sulphides. The FLEM survey to be carried out over Texas will define an EM plate for drill testing.

Chianti Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag VMS Target

Chianti was originally defined by Australian Consolidated Minerals (“ACM”) in 1972 (see Figures 6&7). ACM drilled under the outcropping Central Gossan (see Figure 4) and confirmed massive sulphides at a shallow depth (see Figure 6) as shown below:

‒ PD1 (drilled under the Central Gossan): 4.57m @ 1.13% Cu, 0.69% Pb, 2.05% Zn, 21.7 g/t Ag from 10.7m; and ‒ DDH3 (drilled under PD1): 6.55m @ 1.23% Cu, 0.93% Pb, 2.85% Zn, 32.2 g/t Ag from 36m.

An airborne EM survey flown in 2015 highlighted an EM conductor at depth beneath the 1972 ACM drilling. SGC is currently conducting a FLEM survey over Chianti with results expected late May 2019.

Proterozoic Cu-Au Targets – Grant’s Find (“Grants”), Wilson’s Reward (“Wilsons”), Rough Triangle

Numerous Proterozoic Cu-Au targets occur within the Project. Initially identified and mined on a small scale for high grade copper pre-WW1, the last significant exploration was undertaken in the 1950s by Western Mining Corporation (“WMC”) who undertook surface sampling, mapping and diamond drilling at Grants and Wilsons. Importantly, WMC only assayed for copper due to low gold prices at the time, with recent exploration confirming the presence of gold in the system.

==> picture [433 x 213] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8: Geological Maps showing the location and results of WMC’s drilling at Grants and Wilsons.

Proterozoic Cu-Au deposits are highly attractive targets with examples in Australia including the Patterson Province (ex. Telfer, Winu) Tennant Creek Inlier (ex. Gecko, Peko) and Mt Isa Inlier/Cloncurry District (ex. Ernest Henry).

There are also numerous outcropping Cu-Au lodes which are currently being sampled and mapped (see Figures 9, 10 & 11). The results of this initial work will be used to plan drilling into the most prospective outcropping Cu-Au targets with drilling to commence in the September 2019 quarter.
