MANGAROON NI-CU-PGE & AU PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Dreadnought has secured 100% ownership over ~4,000sq km of the Mangaroon Zone with the potential for significant magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation and high-grade gold

  • Historic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation (1.2% Ni, 0.6% Cu & 4.7 g/t Pd-Pt-Au) confirmed over ~20km of strike at Lumpy’s Find within the previously undefined Money Intrusion with outcropping high tenor blebby three phase sulphides returning rock chip values up to 0.5% Cu, 0.2% Ni and 0.9 g/t Pd+Pt

  • High-grade gold confirmed at Cullen’s Find and Mitchell’s Find/White Well with historical 1980s drilling returning 3m @ 6.5 g/t Au from 26m at Cullen’s Find and recent rock chips from Mitchell’s Find/White Well returning up to 16.4 g/t Au

  • Target definition work including Heli-EM and ultrafine soils to commence over summer so as to be drill ready in mid-2021

  • Project scale target generation work to be undertaken in the background

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to introduce the Mangaroon Project, covering ~4,000 sq kms of ground prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGEs and high-grade gold located 250kms southeast of Exmouth in Western Australia.

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ Mangaroon is an exciting addition to the Dreadnought portfolio and is aligned with our strategy to have three belt scale projects. Mangaroon has demonstrated potential for nickel, copper, PGE’s and high-grade gold. Dreadnought has secured first mover advantage covering two major crustal scale structures with proven high-grade gold and a previously

Lumpy’s Find (E09/2384: 100%)

Allan “Lumpy” McDonald was born and raised on Mangaroon Station where he was both a successful pastoralist and prospector having played a part in the discovery of the Star of Mangaroon and Diamond gold mines on his station. Lumpy also discovered and drilled a gossanous outcropping Ni-CuPGE occurrence in the early 1960s[1] . Drilling was along the base of a previously unrecognised layered ultramafic intrusion (“ the Money Intrusion ”), named after Drew Money who grew up mustering on Lyndon Station and who brought the project to Dreadnought’s attention.

In the 1980s, Regional Resources NL conducted a regional assessment of the Mangaroon area for gold and base metals including sampling over 5km strike along the base of the Money Intrusion including Lumpy’s Find. This sampling program returned assays up to 1.2% Ni, 0.6% Cu and 4.7 g/t Pd-Pt-Au[2] . Despite these encouraging results, no further exploration has taken place at Lumpy’s Find or along the Money Intrusion.

Dreadnought has now undertaken two reconnaissance trips to Lumpy’s Find and along the length of the Money Intrusion. This has confirmed Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation in the form of blebby and disseminated two and three phase sulphides along over 20kms of strike along the Money Intrusion including rock chip values up to 0.51% Cu, 0.14% Ni and 0.9 g/t Pd-Pt.

==> picture [277 x 368] intentionally omitted <==

With high tenor multiphase sulphides with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite confirmed over a substantial strike length, exploration will focus on defining accumulations of massive sulphide using a combination of Heli and ground-based EM, surface sampling and mapping.

Target definition work at Lumpy’s Find will continue over the summer with an aim to have drill targets ready for drilling in mid-2021.

Cullen’s Find (E09/2370: 100%)

In 1986, a prospector named Peter Cullen drilled 7 RC holes for 352m into an outcropping vein swarm along the crustal scale Minga Bar Fault. Peter sent off 126m of drilling for gold analysis by fire assay returning a best intercept of 3m @ 6.5 g/t Au from 26m including 1m @ 16.2 g/t Au from 28m . While his report included assay certificates, there was no further information asides from a hand drawn map in a local grid. Accordingly, no other gold exploration work has taken place at Cullen’s Find or along strike.

As part of the recent reconnaissance work completed by Dreadnought, the old collars were located and georeferenced to Cullen’s hand drawn map. In addition, several rock chips were collected from subcropping quartz veins returning anomalous gold values.

Peter Cullen drilled a rare outcrop along the Minga Bar Fault with the majority of the structure under shallow cover. Dreadnought will undertake ultrafine soil sampling along the structure with an aim to have drill targets ready for drilling in mid-2021.

Mitchell’s Find and White Well (E09/2384: 100%)

Mitchell’s Find and White Well are located on the Edmund Fault, a crustal scale splay of the Mt Lyons Fault representing a second major mineralised structure within the Mangaroon Project.

Clarence Mitchell developed a small gold mine from 1988-1990. There is no official record of the mining at Mitchell’s Find. The shallow pit was visited and sampled during recent reconnaissance trips with rock chips returning gold results up to 16.4g/t Au from malachite stained quartz veins hosted within a splay off the Edmund Fault.

White Well is located ~2.5 kms further along strike from Mitchell’s Find and consists of a series of costeans and shallow diggings put in by prospectors who worked the ground for several years. The only reports on their work indicate that gold was panned and dollied with no record of production or any other exploration work. Combined with Mitchell’s Find, White Well confirms the potential of the Edmund Fault to host gold mineralisation.

Dreadnought will undertake ultrafine soil sampling along the Edmund Fault with an aim to have drill targets ready for drilling in mid-2021.

Background on Mangaroon (E08/3178, E08/3274, E08/3275, E09/2370, E09/2384, E09/2433, E09/3178, E09/2448, E09/2449, E09/2450, E09/2467, E09/2468: 100%)

The Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE-Au project covers >4,000 sq kms of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The Mangaroon Zone is host to historically high-grade gold mineralisation at the Bangemall/Cobra and Star of Mangaroon Gold mining centres. During both of Western Australia’s early major gold rushes (1890s and 1930s), this region never received an operating state battery despite pleas from local government and prospectors. As a result, gold was mined but had to be transported to Meekatharra at a high cost thus significantly hampering gold exploration. Despite these handicaps, the region still managed to produce small-scale high-grade gold on the order of multiple ounces to the tonne. Accordingly, the region is prospective for additional high-grade gold mineralisation and contains limited historical exploration.

In addition to the gold, exploration undertaken by pastoralists and small explorers from the 1960s and 1980s identified outcropping Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation from some a significant ultramafic intrusion, the Money Intrusion, which is up to 300m wide and has been traced over 20kms. This intrusion is significant in scale and has the potential to host high tenor massive Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation.

Ongoing work at Mangaroon will be conducted during 2021 in accordance with other priorities and as tenements are granted.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Kimberley Ni-Cu-Au Projects

Dreadnought controls the second largest land holding in the highly prospective West Kimberley region of WA. The main project area, Tarraji-Yampi, is located only 85kms from Derby and has been locked up as a Defence reserve since 1978.

Tarraji-Yampi presents a rare first mover opportunity with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900s which have seen no modern exploration.

Three styles of mineralisation occur at TarrajiYampi including: volcanogenic massive sulphide (“ VMS ”); Proterozoic Cu-Au (“ IOCG ”); and magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE. Numerous high priority nickel, copper and gold drill targets have been identified from recent VTEM surveys, historical drilling and surface sampling of outcropping mineralisation.

==> picture [236 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Illaara Gold, VMS & Iron Ore Project

Illaara is located 190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton and covers 75kms of strike along the Illaara Greenstone Belt. Illaara is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and base metals VMS mineralisation.

Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont. Newmont defined several camp-scale targets which were undrilled due to a change in corporate focus. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and has seen minimal gold and base metal exploration since the 1990s.

Rocky Dam Gold & VMS Project

Rocky Dam is located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. Rocky Dam is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation. Rocky Dam has known gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets including the recently defined CRA-North Gold Prospect.

Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE & Au Project

Maganroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,000sq kms of tenure located 250kms southeast of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Mangaroon is prospective for magmatic NiCu-PGE mineralisation and high grade gold with evidence of both outcropping within the project area and virtually unexplored for the past 40 years.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

JORC TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels,
random
chips,
or
specific
specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.

Aspects
of
the
determination
of
mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more explanation
may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types
(e.g.
submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Rock Chips

Rock Chips were collected by Dreadnought
staff and submitted for analysis. Rock chips are
random,
subject
to
bias
and
often
unrepresentative for the typical widths required
for economic consideration. They are by nature
difficult to duplicate with any acceptable form of
precision or accuracy.

Rock
chips
have
been
collected
by
Dreadnought
to
assist
in
characterising
different
lithologies,
alterations
and
expressions
of
mineralisation.
In
many
instances, several rock chips were collected
from
a
single
location
to
assist
with
characterising and understanding the different
lithologies, alterations and expressions of
mineralisation present at the locality.

Rock chips were submitted to ALS Laboratories
in Perth for determination of Au, Pt and Pd by
PGM-ICP24 and multiple (48) elements by ME-
MS61.
1986 RC Drilling Original 1m Samples
Little
is
documented
about
the
sampling
methodology by Peter Cullen in WAMEX Report
A36494.
Drilling was undertaken by a Schram RC Rig owned
and operated by Brown Drilling Company.
1m Samples were collected by an unknown method
and submitted to Classic Comlabs for Fire Assay
(Code FA1).
Little is known about any QAQC methods asides
from any significant intercept was repeated 4-5
times by the same method.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).
1986 RC Drilling
Drilling method was Reverse Circulation (RC). Bit
size was unknown. Brown Drilling Company
undertook the program utilising a Schram rig.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and
chip
sample
recoveries
and
results
assessed.

Measures
taken
to
maximise
sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling
stages
to
maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling
is representative of the in-situ material
collected, including for instance results for

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
Rock Chips
Entire rock chips were submitted to the lab for
sample prep and analysis
1986 RC Drilling
No sub sampling or sample preparation information
was reported in WAMEX Report A36494
Quality of assay
data and

The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used
and
whether
the
technique
is
considered partial or total.

For
geophysical
tools,
spectrometers,
handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc.,
the
parameters used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied
and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Rock Chips

All samples were submitted to ALS laboratories
in Perth where 1-3kg rock chips samples were
crushed so that >70% of material passes
through -6mm, the sample is then pulverised to
>85% passing 75 micron.

A 50 gram aliquot was analysed for Au, Pt and
Pd by Fire Assay and ICP-AES finish (ALS
Code PGM-ICP24)

Fire Assay is considered a total digest for Au,
Pt and Pd

A 0.25 grams aliquot was analysed for 48
elements by a four-acid digest and ICP-MS
finish (ALS Code ME-MS61).

Four-acid digest is considered a “near-total”
digest for most elements.

No standards, duplicates or blanks submitted
with rock chips.
1986 RC Drilling
Fire Assay is considered a total digest and
appropriate for gold analysis. While there are no
QAQC
measures
reported,
the
mineralised
samples repeated well for gold mineralisation.

of
geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Rock Chips

The rock chip spacing and distribution is not
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for a Mineral
Resource.

Data spacing at this stage is not suitable for
Mineral Resource Estimation.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure

Whether
the
orientation
of
sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
Rock Chips

Rock chip sampling is by nature highly biased.

At this early stage of exploration, mineralisation
orientation is not known.
1986 RC Drilling

At this early stage of exploration, mineralisation
orientation is not known.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Rock Chips
All samples were collected, bagged and sealed by
Dreadnought staff. Sealed sample bags were
placed into bulk sample containers and dispatched
by company personnel to ALS laboratories (Perth).
1986 RC Drilling

Sample security is unknown
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
The program is continuously reviewed by senior
company personnel.

following information for all Material drill
holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception
depth
o
hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
Data aggregation
methods

In
reporting
Exploration
Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum
grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high-grade results and
longer lengths of low-grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

All results have been reported above 0.1g/t
Au

No top cutting has been applied.

All reported results have been length
weighted (arithmetic length weighting).

No metal equivalent values are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths

These
relationships
are
particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down
_hole length, true width not known’). _

The relationship of mineralised widths and
intercepts lengths of historical drilling is
unknown at this time
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view
of
drill
hole
collar
locations
and
appropriate sectional views.

Refer to figures within this report.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

The accompanying document is a balanced
report with a suitable cautionary note.
Other substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including
(but
not
limited
to):

observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical
survey
results;
