-
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.

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. |
1986 RC Drilling No information has been recorded regarding drill sample recovery. |

Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Rock Chips Basic mineralogy, colour, textures and lithology logged in the field. 1986 RC Drilling No logging has been reported in WAMEX Report A36494 |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. • 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 field duplicate/second-half sampling. • 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 laboratory tests |
• 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. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
• The Mangaroon Project consists of 1 granted Exploration License (E09/2370,) and 11 pending Exploration Licenses (E08/3178, E08/3274, E08/3275, E09/2384, E09/2433, E09/3178, E09/2448, E09/2449, E09/2450, E09/2467, E09/2468) • All tenements are 100% owned by Dreadnought Resources. • E08/3178, E09/2370, E09/2384 and E09/2433 are subject to a 2% Gross Value Royalty held by Beau Resources • E08/3274, E08/3275, E09/2433, E09/2448, E09/2449, E09/2450 are subject to a 1% Gross Value Royalty held by Beau Resources • The Mangaroon Project covers 4 Native Title Determinations including the Budina (WAD131/2004), Thudgari (WAD6212/1998), Gnulli Gnulli (WAD22/2019) and the Combined Thiin-Mah, Warriyangka, Tharrkari and Jiwarli (WAD464/2016) • The Mangaroon Project is located over Lyndon, Mangaroon, Gifford Creek, Maroonah Minnie Creek, Towra and Uaroo Stations |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Historical exploration of a sufficiently high standard was carried out by a few parties which have been outlined and detailed in this ASX announcement including: Regional Resources 1986-1988s: WAMEX Reports A23715, 23713 Peter Cullen 1986: WAMEX Report A36494 Carpentaria Exploration Company 1980: WAMEX Report A9332 Rodney Drage 2011: WAMEX Report A94155 Sandfire Resources 2005-2012: WAMEX Report 94826 |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The Managroon Project is located within Mangaroon Zone of the Gascoyne Province. • The Mangaroon Project is prospective for orogenic gold and magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation. |
| Drill hole information | • A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the |
• An overview of the drilling program is given within the text and tables within this document |

| following information for all Material drill holes: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole 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): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk |
• Suitable commentary of the geology encountered are given within the text of this document. |
