DRILLING COMMENCED C1-C5 CARBONATITES & Y8 DISCOVERY EXTENDS RARE EARTHS TO >6KMS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • RC drilling has commenced at the C1-C5 rare earth element (“REE”) carbonatites where wide-spaced, first-pass drilling is designed to test the carbonatites undercover. Importantly, the carbonatites could be the source REE intrusions for the region and are analogous to the mineralisation style at Mt Weld (ASX.LYC) and Mountain Pass (NYSE.MP).

  • Drilling at C1-C5 (83 holes for ~6,600m) is expected to take 6-8 weeks with assays expected through to the end of the March 2023 quarter. Regular updates will be provided as appropriate.

  • First-pass, wide-spaced drilling at the Sabre and Y8 ironstones is complete. These ironstones sit within the Yin Ironstone Complex and are comprised of multiple REE lodes over ~3kms of strike. This brings the total strike length of mineralised ironstones discovered in the Complex to ~6kms (Yin 3kms, Sabre ~1.5kms, Y8 ~1.5kms).

  • In addition, high-grade rock chip results have been received from the outcropping ironstones at Y8 including:

  • MNRK0574: 7.56% TREO (1.33% Nd2O3+Pr6O11) • MNRK0575: 8.02% TREO (1.71% Nd2O3+Pr6O11)

  • Assays from Sabre and Y8 are expected in early November 2022 with follow up JORC Resource drilling to commence upon completion of the C1-C5 drilling. A JORC Resource for Sabre and Y8 is expected in the June 2023 quarter.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that RC drilling has commenced at the C1-C5 carbonatite prospects within its 100% owned Mangaroon Project, in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Dreadnought is also pleased to announce the Y8 discovery as confirmed by drilling and rock chip results adding ~1.5kms of mineralised ironstones with a significant opportunity to extend in all directions.

Drilling is now underway at C3 as part of a wide-spaced, first-pass program comprising 83 holes for ~6,600m. Drilling will commence with two fence lines across C3 and C4 before moving to the wide spaced ~160m x 160m drill pattern across all five carbonatites. Assays for the program are expected through to the end of the March 2023 quarter.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The scale of the REE opportunity at Mangaroon is rapidly expanding with our third discovery within the Yin Ironstone Complex with over 20kms of ironstones identified and ~6kms confirmed by drilling date. All the excitement has been building for us to commence drilling at the C1-C5 carbonatites and explore for the source intrusions for the region. The next few months will be extremely exciting for

SNAPSHOT - MANGAROON RARE EARTHS

100% Controlled by Dreadnought

  • Mangaroon REE are 100% owned and controlled by Dreadnought.

Genuine Scale Potential Already at Yin Ironstone Complex

  • Yin discovery contains 3km of confirmed mineralised strike and remains open along 16kms of strike – JORC Resource in December 2022 quarter, extensional drilling over 13km of strike planned.

  • Sabre and Y8 discoveries contain ~3km of confirmed mineralised strike and remain open along strike – JORC Resource in June 2023 quarter, extensional and infill drilling planned.

  • Long term incentives fully triggered at JORC Resource of at least 30Mt @ >1% TREO, 31 December 2024.

- Significant, Step Change, Growth Potential Beyond Yin Ironstone Complex

  • Seven carbonatite targets (C1-C7) may be the regional source of REE – drilling in September 2022.

  • Confirmed mineralisation at 22 outcropping targets with another 10 prospective targets requiring further work – drilling planned.

  • 100 additional outcropping targets prospective for REE identified – under assessment.

High-Grade TREO Potential

  • Numerous thick, high-grade assays already announced from first drill program at Yin.

- High grade Neodymium and Praseodymium Concentrate Potential

  • Yin, like the Yangibana REE project controlled by the ~$550M Hastings Technology Metals Ltd (ASX.HAS), (“ Hastings ”) is a globally unique REE deposit due to the high proportion of neodymium and praseodymium in the total rare earth oxide (NdPr ratio). NdPr values up to ~40%, nearly double the global average.

Positive Metallurgy Results

  • Initial metallurgical test work from Yin performed well, achieving a recovery of 92.8% at a concentrate grade of 12.3% Nd2O3 and an average 40% TREO.

  • Yin is predominantly hosted in monazite which is amenable to commercial processing.

Analogous to a Globally Unique, Commercially Viable Development 25kms Away

  • Yangibana is Dreadnought’s immediate neighbour located only 25km to the northeast of Yin and currently has a JORC Resource* of 27.42Mt @ 0.97% TREO with 0.33% Nd2O3+Pr6O11.

  • Yangibana is under construction and development with first production planned for 2024.

Global Strategic Imperative Driving Rare Earth Growth & Prices

  • Supply chain security and low carbon transition are imperatives against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tension pushing supply away from China.

Technical Discussion on the Carbonatite Drill Program

Carbonatite intrusions are known globally to host a number of different commodities including rare earths, phosphate, titanium and niobium often as different mineralised bodies within the same intrusion. Great examples include Mt Weld in Australia, Ngualla in Tanzania and Araxa in Brasil. We also know that a world class deposit like Mountain Pass in California can fit into a deposit with a footprint of 700m x 150m.

Since the C1-C5 carbonatites have minimal outcrop, the zones within these intrusions that may host mineralisation are unknown. Accordingly, the first-pass RC drilling program (83 holes for ~6,600m) will pattern drill all five intrusions with potentially only a handful of holes intersecting a potential world class deposit like Mountain Pass. This program will commence with two fencelines, one drilled across C3 and one across C4. These will provide a continuous section across the intrusions to get an initial interpretation of composition of the carbonatites, depth of cover and weathering and potentially intersecting mineralisation. Once the fenceline drilling is complete, drilling will commence on a ~160m x 160m spaced pattern over all five carbonatites to test for economic mineralisation.

Any areas of mineralisation will then be prioritised for follow up drilling after the completion of the pattern drilling. The program is expected to take 6-8 weeks and regular updates will be provided as appropriate. Assays are expected through to the end of the March 2023 quarter.

Sabre and Y8 RC Drill Program (Y3RC001-Y3RC038)

The RC program at Sabre and Y8 consisted of 38 RC holes (4,246m).

Given the general lack of outcrop at Sabre, the initial program was designed to determine the location and orientation of the mineralised ironstones identified in sporadic outcrops that had been sampled in reconnaissance work. This is done through wide spaced fence line drilling and scissor holes.

The program has successfully intersected mineralised ironstones ranging from 1-21m thickness over ~1.5km in strike and the mineralisation remains open in all directions. Additionally, the program intersected significant ironstones in parallel lodes to the main trend seen in section 7347000mN. This opens up potential for a new trend which is yet to be tested.

Drilling at Y8 was a late addition to the Sabre program following the discovery of outcropping mineralised ironstones off the side of a recently cleared track. Assays from Y8 rock chips have recently been received with results including:

  • MNRK0574: 7.56% TREO (1.33% Nd2O3+Pr6O11) • MNRK0575: 8.02% TREO (1.71% Nd2O3+Pr6O11)

Drilling at Y8 has successfully intersected multiple mineralised ironstones associated with and in addition to the high-grade rock chips. Sub-vertical mineralised ironstones up to 9m thick have been intersected in three holes in the Y8 trend as adding ~1.5kms of confirmed mineralised strike.

==> picture [353 x 386] intentionally omitted <==

The current focus for RC drilling at Mangaroon is to rapidly add strike kilometres of mineralised ironstones to the Yin Ironstone Complex. These discoveries will then be converted to JORC Resources.

Assays from Sabre and Y8 are expected in November 2022.

Yangibana REE ironstones (E09/2448, E09/2450, E09/2535: DRE 100%)

The Yangibana ironstones are readily accessible and located 5-20kms from the Cobra-Gifford Creek Road. The ironstones were first explored in 1972 for base metals. The REE potential of the ironstones was first assessed in 1985 and has seen substantial work by Hastings since 2011. The ~$550m Hastings controls the Yangibana REE Project and is Dreadnought’s immediate neighbour being to the north of the Lyons River Fault.

Yangibana currently has a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource* of 27.42Mt @ 0.97% TREO with 0.33% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 and is under construction and development. The high NdPr ratio (used for electric vehicle magnets and renewable power generation) is an important component of Yangibana’s economics.

Prior to Dreadnought, no significant REE exploration was undertaken south of the Lyons River Fault being the point at which the Yangibana REE ironstones were considered to terminate.

The outcropping Yangibana REE ironstones have a distinctive radiometric anomaly and appear as gossanous iron rich outcrops visible in ortho-imagery. From June to September 2021, Dreadnought announced the identification of the Yin, Y2 and Sabre REE ironstones using wide spaced 1990s government radiometric data and modern ortho-imagery. Subsequently, Dreadnought undertook a ~43,000-line kilometre magneticradiometric survey resulting in the identification of seven carbonatite targets to date (C1-C7).

Dreadnought has recently completed a project wide targeting exercise of the substantial and detailed magnetic-radiometric survey which has resulted in the identification of 140 anomalies prospective for REE mineralisation. To date, only 40 of these anomalies have been mapped and sampled resulting in the confirmation of outcropping REE mineralisation at 22 targets with an additional 10 targets determined to be prospective but requiring further work and 8 targets considered un-prospective. Most of these targets make up and are located around Yin, Y2, Y3 and C1-C5. There remain 100 targets to be mapped and sampled and are all located within the 40km radius of the Yin Ironstone Complex.

Mapping and sampling of the remaining 100 targets is ongoing with further results throughout 2022.

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, TarrajiYampi, 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 1900’s which have seen no modern exploration.

Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au-Ag-Bi-Sb-Co system at TarrajiYampi, similar to Cloncurry / Mt Isa in Queensland and Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE JV & REE Au 100% Project

Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,900sq kms located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the vastly underexplored Gascoyne Region of WA. Part of the project is targeting Ni-Cu-PGE and is subject to a joint venture with First Quantum Minerals (earning up to 70%). The joint venture area contains outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides in the recently defined Money Intrusion. Dreadnought’s 100% owned areas contain outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under development at the Yangibana REE Project. Recently six potentially REE bearing carbonatite intrusions have been identified which may also be the source of the regional rare earths.

Central Yilgarn Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & Iron Ore Project

Central Yilgarn is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~1,600 sq kms covering ~150km of strike along the majority of the Illaara, Yerilgee and Evanston greenstone belts. Central Yilgarn is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits, VMS base metals, komatiite hosted nickel sulphides and critical metals including Lithium-CaesiumTantalum.

Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Central Yilgarn was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore.

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 analysis when it becomes available. nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed Laboratory Analysis information.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce samples for assaying. Preliminary pXRF analysis

Preliminary assays were obtained using an Olympus Vanta M Series pXRF analyser. The pXRF was placed on the reject sample piles from the rigs Metzke cone splitter.

One 3 beam, 35 second measurement was completed for each drill metre sample.

The pXRF instrument is calibrated and serviced annually or more frequently as required with daily instrument calibration checks completed. Additionally, silica blanks and OREAS standards, appropriate to the style of mineralisation are routinely analysed to confirm performance. This procedure is in line with normal industry practice and deemed fit for purpose for preliminary analysis in first pass exploration drilling.

This report relates to exploration results of a preliminary nature. pXRF analysis is a preliminary technique which will be superseded by laboratory analysis when it becomes available.

Two sampling techniques were utilised for this program, 1m metre splits directly from the rig sampling system for each metre and 3m composite sampling from spoil piles. Samples submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site geologist.

1m Splits

From every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from each metre of drilling.

3m Composites

All remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in buckets from the sampling system and neatly deposited in rows adjacent to the rig. An aluminium scoop was used to then sub-sample each spoil pile to create a 2-3kg 3m composite sample in a calico bag.

A pXRF is used on site to determine mineralised samples. Mineralised intervals have the 1m split collected, while unmineralised samples have 3m composites collected.

All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in

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

RC Drilling
Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practice’
approach to achieve maximum sample recovery
and quality through the mineralised zones.
Best practice sampling procedure included: suitable
usage of dust suppression, suitable shroud, lifting
off bottom between each metre, cleaning of
sampling equipment, ensuring a dry sample and
suitable supervision by the supervising geologist to
ensure good sample quality.
At this stage, no known bias occurs between
sample recovery and grade.

at multiple locations to confirm repeatability. The
competent person considers this acceptable within
the context of reporting preliminary exploration
results.
RC Drilling
From every metre drilled, a 2-3kg sample (split) was
sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone
splitter.
