THICK RARE EARTH IRONSTONES CONFIRMED AT THE SABRE (Y3) DISCOVERY – MANGAROON 100%

HIGHLIGHTS

  • RC drilling has intersected thick, rare earth element (REE) mineralisation over ~1km strike and open in all directions at the Sabre discovery (formerly Y3). Sabre is interpreted to be a 2-3km long REE bearing ironstone swarm that both outcrops and extends under shallow cover.

  • Main Sabre ironstone lode confirmed as a sub-vertical lode with intercepts up to 21m in thickness in multiple drill lines with potential parallel lodes in excess of 7m also intersected in wide spaced fence lines.

  • First pass, wide spaced drilling at Sabre and Y8 (possible extension of Sabre) is expected to finish in midSeptember 2022. The RC rig will then mobilise to the C1-C5 carbonatite targets. Importantly, the carbonatites could be the source REE intrusions for the region analogous to Mt Weld (ASX.LYC) and Mountain Pass (NYSE.MP).

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

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that RC drilling has intersected thick, mineralised, REE ironstones at the Sabre discovery (formerly Y3), within its 100% owned Mangaroon Project in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.

Drilling is underway at Sabre as part of a program comprising 29 holes for ~3,000m. Drilling to date (19 holes, 2,102m) has already intersected multiple ironstones from surface including the main Sabre REE ironstone comprising thick 10-21m intersections over ~1km. Mineralisation has been confirmed with pXRF and assays are expected in November 2022.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The significant scale potential of the Mangaroon Rare Earth Project continues to be underscored with thick mineralised REE ironstones at the Sabre discovery (the prospect formally known as Y3). With two Rare Earth discoveries in hand now at the Mangaroon REE Project we look forward to continuing the discovery drilling program with additional drilling at Sabre, Y8 and then the C1-C5 carbonatite targets all commencing this month.”

SNAPSHOT - MANGAROON RARE EARTHS

100% Controlled by Dreadnought

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

Genuine Scale Potential Already at Yin and Sabre

  • 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 discovery contains ~1km of confirmed mineralised strike and remains open along strike – JORC Resource in March 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 and Sabre

  • Mineralised Y8 REE ironstones confirmed - drilling in September 2022.

  • 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.

RC Drill Program (Y3RC001-Y3RC019)

The RC program at Sabre (formerly Y3) consists of 29 RC holes (~3,000m) of which 19 holes for 2,102m (red dots on Figure 2) have been drilled to date.

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 to intersect and determine the orientation of the ironstones.

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

The current focus for RC drilling at Mangaroon is to show scale across the known prospects and to deliver a number of discoveries. Discoveries will then be converted to JORC Resources.

Drilling at Sabre and Y8 is expected to be completed in September 2022 with the RC rig then moving to C1-C5 in September 2022.

Assays from Sabre are expected in November 2022.

Technical Discussion on the RC Drill Program (Y3RC001-Y3RC019)

Sabre is interpreted to be a 2-3km long REE bearing ironstone swarm that both outcrops and extends under shallow cover. Sabre shows evidence for parallel or stacked ironstone horizons with more likely to be discovered (see Figures 3 and 4). Rock chips collected in 2021 showed high-grade mineralisation over ~2-3km of scattered outcropping and sub-cropping ironstone with values up to 39.0% TREO. While the grades at surface were higher than at Yin, the lack of clear outcrop made determining the exact location and trend of the main ironstone lode horizon difficult. This resulted in requiring wide spaced, fence line, RC drilling for first pass assessment of Sabre.

==> picture [381 x 171] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Chip tray from Y3RC009 showing mineralised oxidized ironstone from 51-63m.

Drilling to date has confirmed the presence of a main REE bearing lode horizon along ~1km of strike with multiple parallel lodes intersected on the longer fence line sections. The main lode horizon pinches, swells and with a predominantly sub-vertical dip that ranges in thickness from 1-21m. The parallel lodes have been intersected west of the main lode and appear to exhibit a similar orientation as the main lode with thicknesses ranging from 1-7m.

The ironstones consist of goethite and hematite dominated oxide zones near the surface (top ~80m) transitioning into a fresh ferrocarbonatite dyke (fresh REE ironstone), comprised of ankerite and siderite below the base of oxidation. The ironstones are surrounded by a much thinner fenitised country rock compared to Yin. Both the ironstone and the fenite immediately surrounding the ironstone are mineralised with each ironstone and ferrocarbonatite containing a central interval of higher-grade mineralisation similar to Yin.

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 (formerly) Y3 REE ironstones using wide spaced 1990s government radiometric data and modern ortho-imagery. Subsequently, Dreadnought undertook a ~43,000-line kilometre magnetic-radiometric 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 a 40km radius of Yin, Y2, Sabre and C1-C5.

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.

==> picture [271 x 361] intentionally omitted <==

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.

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.
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, 30 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.
Laboratory Analysis
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
Perth for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by
Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-
XRF30).
All samples are also submitted for 48 multi-
elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish
(ALS Code ME-MS61) to assist with lithological
interpretation.

results
assessed.

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

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
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.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
RC chips were logged by a qualified geologist with
sufficient experience in this geological terrane and
relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry
standard logging system which could eventually be
utilised within a Mineral Resource Estimation.
Lithology,
mineralisation,
alteration,
veining,
weathering and structure were all recorded digitally.
Chips were washed each metre and stored in chip
trays for preservation and future reference.
RC pulp material is also analysed on the rig by
pXRF, scintillometer and magnetic susceptibility
meter to assist with logging and the identification of
mineralisation.
Logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi-
quantitative in nature.
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.
Preliminary pXRF analysis
pXRF
analysis
of
pulverised
and
partially
homogenised reject RC sample piles is fit for
purpose as a preliminary exploration technique.
pXRF is a spot reading on raw (unprocessed) RC
sample piles with variable grain sizes and states of
homogenisation. High grade results were repeated
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.
QAQC in the form of duplicates and CRM’s
(OREAS Standards) were inserted through the ore
zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within
mineralised zones, a duplicate sample was taken

laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Preliminary pXRF analysis
Olympus Vanta M Series pXRF analyser is used to
provide preliminary quantitative measurement of
mineralisation. A 3-beam, 30 second reading time
was used with a single reading on unprepared raw
RC chip sample piles. High grade samples were
repeated to confirm repeatability of grade.
Calibration checks of the pXRF are undertaken
daily, a silica blank and certified REE standard
OREAS 461 is routinely analysed to monitor pXRF
performance.
Laboratory Analysis
Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest
and Method ME-XRF30 is appropriate for REE
determination.
Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and
monitored by the laboratory and by the company
upon assay result receival.
Verification of
sampling and

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 with a preliminary pXRF value over
0.2% TREO have been reported.
Significant intercepts are length weight averaged
for all samples with a preliminary pXRF value
>0.2% TREO with up to 3m of internal dilution
(<0.2% TREO).
No metal equivalents 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’).
Drilling is undertaken close to perpendicular to
the dip and strike of the mineralisation.
The
true
thickness
of
the
mineralisation
intersected in drill holes cannot currently be
calculated.
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
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
Suitable commentary of the geology encountered
are given within the text of this document.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this information is
not commercially sensitive.
