Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to provide an update on activities across the Illaara, Mangaroon and Tarraji-Yampi Projects in Western Australia.

Certain results have been delayed until February 2022 in line with current industry experience. Despite these delays, activities are in full swing with FLEM surveys commenced at the Nelson and Trafalgar Cu-Zn-Ag targets at Illaara. In addition, drill planning for a JORC Resource at Metzke’s Find (Au) has been completed. Furthermore, exploration drilling is planned for Kings iron ore, Spitfire gold and Nelson/Trafalgar Cu-Zn-Ag targets.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “We are excited to be kicking off our 2022 activities at Illaara starting with FLEM surveys over the Nelson and Trafalgar Cu-Zn-Ag targets. The RC drilling program at Illaara will include the shallow portions of Metzke’s Find to define a maiden JORC Resource, extensions of the Kings iron ore target undercover and along strike and the Spitfire gold target. While the drilling program is underway, a detailed drone ortho-imagery survey will provide high resolution data to assist with mapping and systematic sampling of the ~5km x ~1km Peggy Sue pegmatite swarm targeting lithium as

well as already identified high-grade tantalum zones. We also look forward to the upcoming results of our REE and Ni-CuPGE programs at Mangaroon. With rare earths, there will be a focus on testing the high-grade Yin target and other ironstones as well as determining whether our five carbonatites are the potential source of the regional rare earth deposits.

Nelson & Trafalgar Cu-Zn-Ag (E30/476: 100%, E30/485: Option to acquire 100%)

Base metal volcanogenic massive sulphides (“VMS”) mineralisation has been identified and previously targeted within the Illaara Greenstone Belt by Electrolytic Zinc and BHP in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Nelson prospect is defined by a 1,500m x 350m strong and coherent Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag soil anomaly with peak values of 364ppm Cu, 706ppm Pb, 1,140ppm Zn and 0.7g/t Ag (ASX 27 April 2021). Additionally, Nelson has a strong VMS pathfinder signature (Au, Cd, In, Sn, Tl) and sits within a thin sediment horizon between a lower felsic volcaniclastic unit and an upper mafic volcanic unit. The lithological setting and geochemical/geophysical signature of Nelson is analogous to the Jaguar VMS deposit located ~160km to the northeast.

The Trafalgar VMS prospect is located ~3.5kms east of Nelson and is defined by a two discrete, highly magnetic anomalies ~500m strike within a thick undercover felsic volcaniclastic unit. The strong magnetic signature within the volcaniclastic unit, is analogous to the Scuddles deposit at Golden Grove located ~320km to the west.

A ground FLEM survey has commenced at Nelson and Trafalgar with results expected in February 2022. These two targets are expected be tested as part of the wider Illaara RC drilling program in February/March 2022.

Peggy Sue Pegmatite Swarm (E30/476: 100%, E30/485: Option to acquire 100%)

Peggy Sue was highlighted by a strong and coherent 5km x 1km soil anomaly (Li-Cs-Ta-Nb-Rb-Be-Sn) in the southern area of Illaara associated with fertile late-stage felsic intrusions. Reconnaissance mapping of the area confirmed the presence of a large pegmatite dyke swarm, with some outcropping pegmatites >10m thick and several hundred metres in length, associated with the anomalism.

==> picture [312 x 572] intentionally omitted <==

Results of a reconnaissance rock chip sampling survey have confirmed several clusters of highgrade tantalum mineralisation, indicative of a highly fractionated and fertile pegmatite system (ASX 7 July 2021).

Due to the scale of the pegmatite swarm, a detailed drone orthosurvey will be undertaken in February 2022 which will assist with detailed mapping and systematic surface sampling of the pegmatite field.

Activities will be targeting lithium as well as already identified high-grade tantalum zones and are expected to define drill targets for testing.

Background on Illaara

Illaara is located 190 kms from Kalgoorlie and comprises seven tenements (~650 sq kms) covering 75km of strike along the entire Illaara Greenstone Belt. The Illaara Greenstone Belt has now been consolidated through an acquisition from Newmont and subsequently the purchase of Metzke’s Find and an option to acquire 100% of E30/485 and E29/965.

Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was held by Portman Iron and Cleveland Cliffs who were looking to extend their mining operations north as part of their Koolyanobbing Iron Ore Operation. Given the long history of iron ore mining in the region, Illaara is well situated in relation to existing road and rail infrastructure connecting it to a number of export ports.

Historically, gold was discovered and worked at Metzke’s Find and Lawrence’s Find in the early 1900s. In addition to gold, outcropping VMS base metals mineralisation was identified and briefly tested in the 1980s with no subsequent exploration utilising modern techniques.

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 Tarraji-Yampi, similar to Cloncurry / Mt Isa in Queensland and Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE JV & REE Au Project

Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,500sq kms located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the vastly underexplored Gascoyne Region of WA.

Part of the project is targetting 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 five potentially REE bearing carbonatite intrusions have been identified which may also be the source of the regional rare earths.

Illaara Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & 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, VMS base metals and critical metals including Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum.

Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore.
