ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 10 JULY 2023

High-Grade Rare Earth & Niobium Zones at C3 & C5 – Mangaroon (100%)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • In late 2022, 89 RC holes (8,948m) out of a planned 260-hole program were completed over the C1-C5 carbonatites which had minimal outcrop and hence no definitive drill targets. This “first pass” program involved wide-spaced, mostly vertical holes looking to identify mineralised zonation within the carbonatites considered to be the source of the large-scale Yin REE Ironstone Complex ( “Yin” ).

  • The first pass drilling at C3 defined a ~600m x ~550m anomalous zone of critical minerals including rare earths and niobium. Infill drilling (24 RC holes, 3,805m) in 2023 has now defined high-grade zones of rare earths and niobium over an area of ~400m x ~400m (~0.16km[2] ). Assays received for 18 of the 24 holes include:

CBRC115 from 77m: 9m @ 3.88% TREO 8.6 kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (22% NdPr:TREO) within: 102m @ 1.14% TREO 2.6kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (22% NdPr:TREO) from 3m CBRC121 from 34m: 15m @ 3.26% TREO 6.5kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (21% NdPr:TREO) within: 62m @ 1.68% TREO 3.4kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (20% NdPr:TREO) from 7m CBRC116 from 62m: 25m @ 1.03% TREO 8.6 kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (20% NdPr:TREO) within: 114m @ 0.68% TREO 1.3kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (19% NdPr:TREO) from 1m CBRC085 from 39m: 36m @ 1.03% Nb2O5 and 0.85% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) within: 48m @ 0.79% Nb2O5 and 0.80% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) from 30m CBRC086 from 51m: 18m @ 1.09% Nb2O5 and 0.93% TREO (22% NdPr:TREO) within: 77m @ 0.70% Nb2O5 and 0.86% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) from 16m • First pass drilling at C5 has also returned significant rare earths and niobium including: CBRC111 from 72m: 9m @ 1.40% Nb2O5 and 1.20% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) within: 57m @ 0.61% Nb2O5 and 0.60% TREO (20% NdPr:TREO) from 54m CBRC110 from 81m: 3m @ 1.12% Nb2O5 within: 42m @ 0.62% Nb2O5 from 63m

  • An initial Resource for C3 remains on track for August 2023 with further assays expected in July 2023.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce assay results for 18 infill RC holes which continue to highlight large-scale, REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc mineralisation at the C1-C5 carbonatites, part of the 100% owned Mangaroon Project, located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Infill drilling of the C3 carbonatite has achieved a major objective by demonstrating the potential for thick, high-grade zones of rare earths and niobium. Ongoing drilling along the ~6.5kms x 1km of carbonatites could well deliver additional high-grade zones. Despite only completing a third of the first pass drilling, the large scale of the critical metal opportunity at Mangaroon is already apparent. We are excited to have two RC rigs on site and to be re-commencing our ongoing first pass drilling of the carbonatites. Infill Resource drilling at C3 is also showing significant promise. The high-grade niobium intercepts may also be a sign of things to come as we infill the wide spaced drilling.”

SNAPSHOT – MANGAROON CRITICAL MINERALS

Mangaroon is 100% Owned by Dreadnought

Genuine Scale Potential Already at Yin REE Ironstone Complex

  • Independent Yin Inferred Resource of 20.06Mt @ 1.03% TREO (ASX 5 Jul 2023) covers only ~4km of ~43km of strike with the initial Indicated Resource of 5.52Mt @ 1.23% TREO covering only ~250m of strike (ASX 5 Jul 2023).

  • Exploration Target* of 50-100Mt at 0.9-1.3% TREO estimated for the top 150m of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex (ASX 13 Feb 2023).

*Cautionary Statement: The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. The potential quality and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Resource for all target areas reported. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Resource.

  • Resource extension and first pass wide spaced drilling ongoing.

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

  • C1-C7 carbonatites are considered to be the regional source of rare earth elements (“ REE ”) – initial drill program expands C1-C5 to ~6.5kms x 1km.

  • C6 located ~25kms south of C1-5 and C7 is situated over a crustal scale structural splay off the Lyons River Fault; associated with an outcropping pyroxenite intrusion; and geophysically similar to globally significant carbonatites such as Mt Weld, Araxa, Palabora and Ngualla.

  • First pass, wide spaced discovery focused drilling is ongoing at C1-C7.

- - High Grade, Multi Metal Potential Including REE (Neodymium, Praseodymium), Phosphate, Niobium, Titanium & Scandium (REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc)

  • The mineralisation at the Yin REE Ironstone Complex contains significantly higher Nd+Pr as a fraction of the total rare earth oxides (“ NdPr:TREO ” ratio) than most other REE deposits globally, over 50% higher than the global average.

  • Partially completed, first pass, wide spaced drilling over the C1-C7 carbonatites has identified significant critical metal potential with REE, P2O5, Nb2O5, TiO2 and Sc.

  • A ~600m x 550m zone of REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc mineralisation has been confirmed at C3 where an initial Resource for C3 is on track for August 2023.

Potentially Attractive Mining Proposition

  • Broad zones of flat to moderate dipping mineralisation with parallel lodes and Resource intensity of ~5Mt/km make for a potentially attractive mining proposition.

Positive Metallurgy Results

  • Metallurgical test work from Yin has performed well, achieving recoveries ranging from 85.9% to 92.8% at a concentrate grade of 10.76% to 15.31% Nd2O3+Pr6O11.

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

  • Significant metallurgical studies ongoing – results expected throughout 2023.

Global Strategic Imperative Driving Rare Earth Growth & Prices

  • Supply chain security and low carbon transition are imperatives against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tension.

  • Dreadnought is receiving increasing levels of interest from midstream and downstream industry participants in Mangaroon. While the current focus is on upstream options (mining, milling and concentrating) opportunities to collaborate with midstream and downstream industry participants may represent an additional upside value opportunity for Dreadnought’s shareholders in the future.

Technical Discussion on the C3 Carbonatite Drill Program

Carbonatite intrusions are known globally to host several different commodities including rare earths, niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium often as different mineralised bodies within the same intrusion. Great examples of this include Mt Weld in Australia, Ngualla in Tanzania, Araxa in Brasil and Bayan Obo in China. We also know that a world class deposit like Mountain Pass in California can fit into a relatively small footprint (700m x 150m = ~0.1km[2] ).

Since the C1-C6 carbonatites have minimal outcrop, a first pass RC drill program was designed on a ~160m x ~160m spaced grid to drill through cover and into fresh rock. The objective of this program was to confirm the extent and complexity of the interpreted carbonatite intrusions, define zones of mineralisation and to better understand the cover regolith and depth of weathering.

Whilst high grade mineralisation can be contained within fresh carbonatite (Mountain Pass), often mineralisation is upgraded via dissolution of fresh carbonatite and accumulation of resistate mineralogy (i.e. monazite, pyrochlore, columbite) within the regolith. Karsting and localised anomalously deeper weathering can significantly enhance mineralisation grades (Mt Weld, Araxa).

To date only 89 holes (8,948m) out of a 260-hole first pass program have been completed (~30%). Already the program identified C3 defined as a ~600m x ~550m zone of REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc mineralisation. The recent results are from follow up, 80m x 80m angled, infill drilling (24 holes, 3,805m) designed to identify higher grade zones.

These results are the second batch of follow up results for C3 (first batch released 3 April 2023). Infill drilling (24 RC holes, 3,805m) in 2023 has now defined high-grade zones of rare earths and niobium over an area of ~400m x ~400m (~0.16km[2] ). Assays received for 18 of the 24 holes include:

CBRC115 from 77m: 9m @ 3.88% TREO 8.6 kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (22% NdPr:TREO) within: 102m @ 1.14% TREO 2.6kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (22% NdPr:TREO) from 3m CBRC121 from 34m: 15m @ 3.26% TREO 6.5kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (21% NdPr:TREO) within: 62m @ 1.68% TREO 3.4kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (20% NdPr:TREO) from 7m CBRC116 from 62m: 25m @ 1.03% TREO 8.6 kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (20% NdPr:TREO) within: 114m @ 0.68% TREO 1.3kg/t Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (19% NdPr:TREO) from 1m CBRC085 from 39m: 36m @ 1.03% Nb2O5 and 0.85% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) within: 48m @ 0.79% Nb2O5 and 0.80% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) from 30m CBRC086 from 51m: 18m @ 1.09% Nb2O5 and 0.93% TREO (22% NdPr:TREO) within: 77m @ 0.70% Nb2O5 and 0.86% TREO (23% NdPr:TREO) from 16m

Figure 4: Cross section A-A’ through C3 showing recent infill holes (red) with high grade REE and niobium mineralisation within the supergene zone and low grade REE mineralisation within the Ferrocarbonatite.

REE mineralisation has been confirmed in both weathered and fresh carbonatites with petrographic work showing coarse grained (up to 0.25mm) monazite and REE carbonate mineralisation in ferrocarbonatites and magnesiocarbonatite.

XRD analysis of the weathered carbonatites has confirmed the presence of monazite with further mineralogical work ongoing and recently expanded to include high-grade niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium zones.

C5 – Thick Rare Earth & Niobium Zones

In addition to C3, significant rare earth and niobium results have also been returned from the C5 extension holes which showed that the C1-C5 carbonatites extended beyond the original interpretation. These results highlight the potential of the carbonatites to deliver additional discoveries as first pass wide spaced drilling recommences. Significant results include:

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 100% Project

Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~5,300 kms located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the vastly underexplored Gascoyne Region of WA. Part of the project is targeting NiCu-PGE and is subject to a joint venture with First Quantum Minerals (earning up to 70%). The joint venture area contains outcropping high tenor NiCu-PGE blebby sulphides at the Money Intrusion. Dreadnought’s 100% owned areas contain outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamond’s gold mines, along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones and seven carbonatite intrusions which may be the source of the regions rare earth mineralisation.

Dreadnought has delivered an initial JORC Inferred Resource over just ~4kms Yin REE Ironstone Complex delivering 20.06Mt @ 1.03% TREO (28% NdPr:TREO Ratio) (ASX 5 July 2023 ) with an additional ~39kms of strike still to be tested.

Bresnahan HREE and Au Project

Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises ~3,700 sq kms covering over 200kms strike along the Bresnahan Basin / Wyloo Group unconformity. Bresnahan is prospective for unconformity related heavy rare earth (“ HREE ”) deposits similar to Browns Range HREE deposits and mesothermal lode gold similar to Paulsen’s Au-Ag-Sb deposits along strike.

Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Bresnahan Basin had only been explored for unconformity uranium with limited exploration for mesothermal gold. Bresnahan is a first mover opportunity to explore for unconformity HREE.

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-Caesium-Tantalum.

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

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report Template 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.
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce
samples for assaying.
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) and for 48 multi-elements via
4acid digestionwith MS/ICP finish(ALS CodeME-MS61).
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.).
RC Drilling
Ausdrill undertook the program utilising a Drill Rigs Australia
truck mounted Schramm T685WS drill rig with additional air
from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit size was 5¾”.
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.

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
andgrade.
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 under supervision of a qualified senior
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
texture 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 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.
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 and a blank inserted directlyafter.

Criteria **JORC Code explanation ** Commentary

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.
2-3kg samples are submitted to ALS laboratories (Perth),
oven dried to 105°C and pulverised to 85% passing 75um to
produce a 0.66g charge for determination of Rare Earth
Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-
XRF30) and to produce a 0.25g charge for determination of
48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS
Code ME-MS61).
Standard laboratory QAQCis undertakenand monitored.
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)
andprecision have been established.
Laboratory Analysis
Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest and Method
ME-XRF30 is appropriate for REE, P2O5, TiO2determination.
ME-MS61 is considered a near total digest and is appropriate
for Sc determination.
Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored by
the laboratory and by the company upon assay result receival.
Verification of sampling
and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Logging and Sampling
Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital
logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite
database.
Significant intersections are inspected by senior company
personnel.
No twinned holes have been drilled at this time.
No adjustments to anyassaydata have been undertaken.
Location of data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Collar position was recorded using a Emlid Reach RS2 RTK
GPS system (+/- 0.2m x/y, +/-0.5m z).
GDA94 Z50s is the grid format for all xyz data reported.
Azimuth and dip of the drill hole was recorded after the
completion of the hole using a Reflex Sprint IQ Gyro. A
reading was undertaken every 30thmetre with an accuracy of
+/- 1°azimuthand +/-0.3° dip.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.
See table 1to 6 for hole positions and sampling information.
Infill 80m x 80m drilling is suitable spacing for estimating
inferred Mineral Resources.
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.
Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular angle to the
interpreted strike and dip of the ironstone outcrops and
modelled magnetic data.
No sample bias is known at this time.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
All geochemical samples were collected, bagged, and sealed
by Dreadnought staff and delivered to Exmouth Haulage in
Exmouth.

Drill hole information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the 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.
An overview of the drilling program is given within the text
and tables 1 to 6 within this document.
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 greater than 0.3% TREO, 0.3% Nb2O5, 5% P2O5,
5% TiO2and 200ppm Sc have been reported.
Significant intercepts are length weight averaged for all
samples with TREO values >0.3% TREO with up to 3m of
internal dilution (<0.3% 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).
