ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 5 JULY 2023
40% Increase in Resource Tonnage at Yin – Mangaroon (100%)
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Independent JORC Code 2012 Mineral Resource (“Resource”) over ~4kms of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex delivers a significant increase in the Inferred + Indicated Resource to 20.06Mt @ 1.03% TREO. The Resource update has been delivered in 12 months since the initial discovery and is based on 160 RC drill holes (17,787m) and 28 diamond drill holes (2,791.4m).
-
The robust nature of the upgraded Yin Inferred + Indicated Resource is demonstrated by significant contained Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (“Nd+Pr”) at various cut-off grades with the lowest (0.20% TREO) approximating the cut-off used at the close-by and advanced-stage Yangibana Project:

| 1.50 | 5.66 | 2.18 | 6.5 | 30% | 123,400 | 37,000 |
-
The Resource only covers ~10% of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex which currently consists of ~43kms strike. Importantly, this Resource is yet to include the Y2, Yin North, Sabre or Y8 ironstone discoveries nor any of the C1-C7 carbonatites.
-
An initial Indicated Resource of 5.52Mt @ 1.23% TREO has been defined over just 250m strike where thick, high-grade mineralisation occurs at surface (see Figures 5-7 and Tables 4-7).
-
With first pass RC drilling along ~16kms of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex nearly complete, it is anticipated that the ironstone Resource update in the December 2023 quarter will also include the higher NdPr:TREO discoveries at Y2 and Yin North and an increased Indicated component to support plans for an initial Scoping Study.
-
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 a Resource update covering only ~4kms of the ~43km long Yin REE Ironstone Complex at the 100% owned Mangaroon project, located in the Gascoyne Region of WA.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Since drilling commenced in June 2022, Dreadnought
==> picture [274 x 182] intentionally omitted <==
has delivered a substantial increase in the initial Resource over just 4kms of Yin paving the way for further Resource growth later in 2023. The upgraded independent Resource confirms Yin as a high-grade and high Resource intensity deposit. Both material factors in a project’s economics. Yin continues to demonstrate one of the highest NdPr:TREO ratios in the world. We are proud of how much has been achieved in such a short space of time and are looking forward to continuing to build on this later in 2023.”

SNAPSHOT – MANGAROON RARE EARTHS
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 4 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.
-
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 shaping up as the regional source of rare earth elements (“ REE ”) – initial drill program expands C1-C5 to ~6.5kms in strike length x 1km wide.
-
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 NdPr as a fraction of the 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 within the C1-C5 carbonatites.
-
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 ~4.8Mt/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.

Discussion
Outcropping REE mineralisation was first observed at Mangaroon in July 2021. Since then, ~43kms of REE bearing ironstones and 7 carbonatite intrusions have been identified. The first ever drill holes in the Yin REE Ironstone Complex commenced in June 2022 with an initial Inferred Resource of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO announced within 6 months of discovery in December 2022 (ASX 28 Dec 2022). In February 2023, an Exploration Target of 50-100Mt at 0.9-1.3% TREO estimated for the top 150m of the ~43km long Yin REE Ironstone Complex was announced (ASX 13 Feb 2023).
To date, 530 RC holes and 41 diamond holes have been drilled along the Yin REE Ironstone Complex and C1-C7 Carbonatites. The first year of drilling has delivered 9 ironstones discoveries, including a large-scale independent Resource and significant REE-Nb-Ti-P-Sc mineralisation at the C1-C5 carbonatites.
This Resource update of 20.06Mt @ 1.03% TREO covers ~4kms of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex (an addition of 1 km of strike) and is based on 160 RC drill holes (17,787m) and 28 diamond drill holes (2,791.4m) drilled between June 2022 and April 2023.
Importantly the Resource is yet to include drilling at Y2, Yin North, Sabre and Y8 ironstones nor the C1-C7 carbonatites.
The robust nature of this Resource is demonstrated by significant contained Nd+Pr at various cut-off grades with the lowest (0.20% TREO) approximating the cut-off used at the nearby Yangibana Project. Importantly, this update includes an initial Indicated Resource of 5.52Mt @ 1.23% TREO (NdPr:TREO of 28%) over just ~250m of strike.
The Resource contains a slightly lower NdPr:TREO ratio than that shown previously due to the inclusion of mineralisation south of the initial Yin Resource. The NdPr:TREO Ratio appears to be increasing from south to north as evidenced by the recent discoveries at Y2 and Yin North. Accordingly, the Resource update targeted for the December 2023 quarter is expected to include a higher NdPr:TREO ratio.
The Resource is expected to grow as infill drilling advances at Y2, Yin North and Sabre and is expected to include an increased Indicated Resource to underpin plans for an initial Scoping Study. Additional Resource growth is also expected from ongoing drilling at the C1-C7 carbonatites.
Assays from drilling along the Yin REE Ironstone Complex and the C1-C7 carbonatites will be ongoing throughout 2023.

Material Information Summary – Resource Estimation
Pursuant to ASX listing rule 5.8.1 and complementing JORC Table 1 (attached), Dreadnought advises that the Resource was estimated by an independent consultant from Widenbar and Associates Pty Ltd (“ Widenbar ”). Widenbar worked in conjunction with Dreadnought’s geologists and Payne Geological Services Pty Ltd. Commentary on the relevant input parameters for the Resource process is contained at the end of this announcement.
Location and Region
Mangaroon contains the Yin REE Ironstone Complex and is located ~250kms south-east of Exmouth, in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The Yangibana Ironstone Project is Dreadnought’s immediate neighbour and is located to the north of Yin on the other side of the Lyons River Fault.
Rare earths at the Yangibana ironstones were first identified in 1981 and have similar metallurgical properties as the Yin ironstones to the south of the Lyons River Fault. However, rare earths to the south of the Lyons River Fault also vary significantly to those in the north including:
-
a high Resource intensity of ~4.8Mt/km, making for potentially low-cost Resource growth and a likely attractive mining proposition;
-
the likely regional source of the rare earths in the C1-C7 carbonatites with C1-C5 already at ~6.5kms x 1km;
-
a large Exploration Target of 50-100Mt at 0.9-1.3% TREO (top 150m of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex only); and
-
a suite of critical minerals including light and heavy rare earths, phosphate, niobium, titanium and scandium.
The updated Resource of 20.06Mt @ 1.03% TREO only covers ~4km of the Yin and Yin South REE deposits, part of the ~43km long Yin REE Ironstone Complex.
Geological Interpretation and Wireframing
Mangaroon occurs within the Gascoyne Province of the Capricorn Orogen, situated between the Archean Pilbara and Yilgarn cratons. The Gascoyne Province consists of a basement suite of Neoarchean to Palaeoproterozoic granite gneisses that are overlain by various Proterozoic rocks. These Proterozoic rocks include:
-
the 1830–1780 Ma Moorarie Supersuite consisting of granitic rocks;
-
the Durlacher Supersuite, a unit comprising granitic and minor gabbroic intrusions that are heavily deformed and believed to be largely synchronous with the 1680-1620 Ma Mangaroon Orogeny; and
-
the c. 1680 Ma Pooranoo Metamorphics comprising of pelitic gneiss and metamorphosed feldspathic sandstones.
REE-bearing ironstones and carbonatites form components of the ~1370 Ma Gifford Creek Carbonatite Complex (“ GCCC ”). GCCC is an area surrounding the Lyons River Fault, which is the major crustal structure formed during the suturing of the Neoarchean Glenburgh Terrane with the Archean Pilbara Craton during the 2215-2145 Ma Ophthalmian Orogeny.
The rocks of the GCCC include calcite carbonatite, dolomite carbonatite, ankerite-siderite carbonatite, magnetitebiotite dykes, fenites, glimmerites and REE-bearing ironstones and carbonatite plugs. The previously defined boundary of the GCCC has been significantly expanded due to discoveries by Dreadnought (Figure 3). A large series of carbonatite plugs (C1-C7) form the central intrusions in the region while the highly fractionated ferrocarbonatite dykes form cone sheets around the intrusions and the radial/ring dykes splay off the intrusions (Figure 3).

The ~4km long Yin ironstone Resource is highlighted. The ironstone discoveries at Y2, Yin North and Sabre which are to be included in the December 2023 quarter Resource upgrade are also shown.
Dreadnought supplied a detailed Digital Elevation Model for the whole of Mangaroon. This was subset into a smaller version to cover the Yin and Yin South deposits.
Dreadnought’s drill hole database identified the Base of Complete Oxidation (“ BOCO Depth ”) and the Top of Fresh material (“ TOFR Depth ”). The material between these two down hole depths is considered oxide. Based on increased experience, this Resource update includes a significant relogging and interpretation of the BOCO Depth and TOFR Depth which has resulted in adjusted oxide and fresh domaining.
The BOCO Depth is generally quite shallow, typically from 0 to 5m, whereas the TOFR Depth can typically be between 50-80m below surface. The position of these depths is used in conjunction with weathering logging in the lithology data to generate BOCO Depth and TOFR Depth. In turn, this data is used in conjunction with lithology logging in assigning density and also in differentiating between fresh and oxidised carbonatite (i.e. ironstone when not fresh).
In addition, the lithology has been simplified and re-coded, and a new geological model digitised and wireframed.
This model was provided to Widenbar in DXF format as two files containing the interpreted dykes and the fenite bodies.
The TOFR Depth was then used to split the single dyke into oxide (above) and fresh (below). In addition, the dyke and fenite wireframes were split into individually connected wireframes for Resource domaining.

Drilling Techniques
Dreadnought’s drilling at Yin was conducted by Ausdrill Limited using reverse circulation (“ RC ”) drilling and by Hagstrom using diamond (“ DD ”) drilling techniques. In total, 160 RC holes have been drilled, sampled and assayed to estimate the Resource. In addition, 28 DD holes were drilled and sampled to produce samples for density measurements, ongoing metallurgical testing and additional QAQC analysis. The results of a twinned hole study between RC and DD holes found that all statistics and graphic logs support a reasonable correlation. The DD holes generally confirm the grade distribution and tenor in the RC holes and hence that the RC holes are suitable for further use in Resource estimation and classification.
All holes used in the Resource estimation have been previously announced with the necessary additional collar and assay details provided. These holes are also shown in Tables 12 and 13.
RC holes were drilled with a 5¾-inch bit and face sampling hammer. RC holes are drilled with some water injection at the bit for dust suppression and with the use of booster/auxiliary air if ground water is encountered. A total of 530 RC holes (61,189m) have been drilled to date. The updated Resource is based on 160 RC drill holes (17,787m) drilled between June 2022 and April 2023.
DD holes were drilled as orientated HQ and NQ size with no RC pre-collars. A total of 41 Diamond holes (4,425.56m) have been drilled to date. The updated Resource includes the results of 28 diamond drill holes (2,791.4m) drilled between June 2022 and May 2023.
The Resource does not include drilling at:
-
the Y2, Yin north, Sabre and Y8 ironstones; and
-
the C1-C7 carbonatites.
Collar positions were 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 each drill hole were recorded after the completion of the hole using a Reflex Sprint IQ Gyro. A reading was undertaken every 30[th] metre with an accuracy of +/- 1° azimuth and +/-0.3° dip.

Sampling and Subsampling Techniques
RC samples were collected using two techniques, 1m splits directly from the rig sampling system and 3m composite sampling from spoil piles.
From every 1m drilled, a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter. All remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in buckets and 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.
The rig geologist used preliminary pXRF analysis of pulverised and partially homogenised reject RC sample piles to define mineralised zones which were subsequently sampled in detail (the 1m splits). Prior to February 2023, unmineralised zones were sampled by 3m composite, post February 2023 unmineralised material is not sampled.
All samples were then sent for full analysis at ALS laboratories in Perth and Brisbane. Only assays received from the laboratory were used for this Resource, no pXRF results have been used.
Industry standard QAQC measures were employed involving insertion of:
-
appropriate CRM standards at regular intervals;
-
field duplicates collected for both 1m splits and 3m composites at regular intervals; and
-
additional field duplicates and blanks collected in mineralised intervals.
All samples were dried and pulverised at the laboratory prior to analysis.
Orientated DD core samples were collected with a diamond drill rig drilling HQ and NQ core. After geological logging and processing, the core was marked up for sampling at a typical minimal interval of 0.3m to ensure adequate sample weight and to a typical maximum interval of 1.0m. The selected sample intervals of drill core were cut in half or quartered along the length of the drill core. Specific Gravity, or density measurements, were taken for each geological domain within the Resource by Dreadnought geologists and the laboratory for QAQC.
Sample sizes for both RC and DD are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation.
Assaying and QAQC
Samples were submitted to the Perth laboratory for preparation and analysis by ME-MS61. Pulverised samples were then transported to the Brisbane laboratory for analysis by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method “ ME-XRF30 ”).
The 2-3kg samples were submitted to the Perth laboratory, oven dried to 105°C and pulverised to 85% passing 75um to produce a 0.25g charge for determination of 48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61). The pulverised sample was then sent to the Brisbane laboratory where a 0.66g charge was used for the determination of TREO by ME-XRF30 analysis.
QAQC in the form of duplicates and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) were inserted through the mineralised zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within mineralised zones, a duplicate sample was taken and a blank inserted directly after. All QAQC returned satisfactory results.
Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored.

Estimation Methodology
Widenbar was retained to produce a Resource estimate for ~4km of the Yin Ironstone. Validated drillhole data and geological interpretations were supplied by Dreadnought. Widenbar produced the Resource using standard processes and procedures including data selection, composting, variography and estimation by Ordinary Kriging prior to model validation.
Estimates were made and are reported for TREO, Nd2O3, Pr6O11 and Nd2O3+Pr6O11 as well as bulk density.
Statistical Analysis and Variography
The original RC assays are a mixture of 1m and 3m samples, with mineralised intervals being identified using preliminary pXRF analysis and being re-assayed at 1m intervals by an independent laboratory. Diamond drilling sample intervals are variable, corresponding to breaks in lithology and weathering.
For data analysis and Resource estimation processes, all assay data has been composited to 1m intervals.
The wireframe solids and the weathering surfaces were used to apply lithological and weathering codes to the composite data. Summary statistics have been calculated for the major elements within each domain. There was a total of 14,388 composites available for use in Resource estimation.
Probability plots and histograms were used to confirm domaining produced consistent data sets.

Block Model and Resource Estimation
An “empty” rock model was created using the topographic and weathering surfaces and the geological wireframe solids as constraints.
A process of “unfolding” is applied to the block model and the composite data to avoid issues related to the variable dip and strike of parts of the mineralised domains. This effectively makes a dynamic search ellipse and all searches become oriented in a simple north-south and vertical direction.
Interpolation is carried out using the Ordinary Kriging process in Micromine 2023. A two-pass search strategy was used, with the following parameters.
Table 3: Search parameters used in Ordinary Kriging.
| Search | Samples | Samples | Holes | Search | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pass | Min | Max | Min | Min/Hole | Max/Hole | Along Strike | Down Dip | Across Dip |

Resource Classification
The Resource has been classified in the Indicated and Inferred categories, in accordance with the 2012 Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2012 JORC Code). A range of criteria has been considered in determining this classification including:
-
Geological continuity;
-
Data quality;
-
Drill hole spacing;
-
Modelling technique; and
-
Estimation properties including search strategy, number of informing data and average distance of data from blocks.
The Resource classification methodology incorporated a number of parameters derived from the Ordinary Kriging algorithms in combination with drill hole spacing and continuity and size of mineralised domains.
Geological Continuity
Geological continuity is understood with reasonable confidence. The classification reflects this level of confidence.
Data Quality
Resource classification is based on information and data provided from Dreadnought’s database. Descriptions of drilling techniques, survey, sampling/sample preparation, analytical techniques and database management/validation indicate that data collection and management is well within industry standards. Widenbar considers that the database represents an accurate record of the drilling undertaken.
Drilling Spacing
Drill hole location plots have been used to ensure that local drill spacing conforms to the minimum expected for Resource classification. Most sections are drilled at 100m (north) by 25 to 50m (down dip) with an infill area of 50m spaced northings in the thicker part of the main deposit. This area also contains several pairs of twinned DD and RC holes and is classified as Indicated.

Comparison with Previous Resource Estimate
Widenbar produced an initial Resource estimate for Yin in December 2022 as summarised below in comparison to the current Resource.
Overall, there has been an increase from 14.4 million tonnes to 20 million tonnes, with a slight decrease in grade from 1.13% TREO to 1.03% TREO. This is due partly to an increase in the depth of the main part of the Yin deposit and the inclusion of a Resource at Yin South.
Significantly, there has been an allocation of 5.5 million tonnes to the Indicated category.

Metallurgy
Metallurgical test work has been undertaken independently at ALS Metallurgy and IMO Metallurgy. Oversight on the test work was conducted on behalf of Dreadnought by experienced consulting metallurgist, Damien Krebs from Primero Group.
Two rounds of metallurgical testing have been completed on the Yin ironstones and have resulted in the production of concentrates ranging from 31.22-41.70% TREO and 10.76%-15.31% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 with TREO recoveries ranging from 85.9%-92.8% using material with head grades ranging from 1.60% - 2.36% TREO. This work indicates that a high-value monazite concentrate can be produced from the Yin ironstones using a standard flowsheet.
In July 2021, flotation test work conducted on a 30kg bulk surface sample from Yin produced a high-grade monazite concentrate with 92.8% recovery into 3.55% of the original mass. The concentrate grade was 15.31% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 and 41.70% TREO.
In May 2023, floatation test work conducted on a bulk composite of diamond drill samples from Yin produced a high-grade concentrate with 85.9% TREO recovery into 6.7% of the original mass. The concentrate grade was 10.76% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 and 31.22% TREO.
==> picture [191 x 255] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 9: Successful froth flotation test on the Yin bulk sample.
Metallurgical testing is now advancing as follows:
-
Increased intensity of testing of all Yin ironstones that are expected to become Resources across a range of head grades.
-
Acid bake performance analysis by ANSTO of bulk concentrates for producing a mixed rare earth carbonate to optimise midstream processing options for the concentrate.
-
Ongoing concentrate flowsheet optimisation.

DRE Announcement 29 May 2023: Metallurgical Test Work Supports High-Value Concentrate
Reasonable Potential of Eventual Economic Extraction
The prospects for eventual economic extraction of Rare Earth oxides from the Yin and Yin South deposits has been considered by running preliminary pit optimisations. Mining and processing costs, metal prices and metallurgical recoveries are uncertain at this stage of the project, but assumptions have been made based on publicly available information published on the advanced-stage, nearby Yangibana Rare Earths Project. Depending on the assumptions, a theoretical breakeven cutoff grade is indicated between 0.18% and 0.25% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides). A majority of the Mineral Resource lies within the optimal pits generated using these assumptions and, on this basis, and given the uncertainties at this early stage of development of the project, the Competent Person considers that it is reasonable to include all of the material that has been classified in the Indicated and Inferred categories.

Future Work
Subject to the outcome of ongoing metallurgical work, the Resource will form the basis of a planned Scoping Study regarding the potential to mine Yin. In parallel, there are ongoing in-fill and extensional RC and diamond drilling programs which will form the basis for ongoing Resource updates.

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 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 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 at the Money
==> picture [247 x 329] intentionally omitted <==
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 highgrade 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 2022 ) 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) and Diamond (DD) 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. Laboratory Analysis Two sampling techniques were utilised for the RC 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 1m 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. Core is orientated for structural and geotechnical logging where possible. In orientated core, half core is submitted to the lab for analysis in intervals ranging from 20cm to 1m depending on the geological context. If core is orientated, then the half core is cut so as to preserve the orientation line with the same side of the core submitted down the hole. QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) will be inserted through the program at a rate of 1:50 samples. Duplicate samples are submitted as quarter core. All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method MEXRF30). Select samples are also submitted for 48 multielements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish(ALS CodeME-MS61) to assist with lithological |

| interpretation. 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 Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-XRF30). |

| 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”. Diamond Drilling Diamond drilling was undertaken by Hagstrom Drilling with a truck-mounted low impact diamond drill rig. Drilling is either HQ to end of hole or initially HQ and dropping to NQ once the hole is cased off for deeper drill holes. Core is orientated using a Reflex Sprint gyro and True Core Orientation Tool. |
| 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. Diamond Drilling HQ and NQ drilling has been undertaken. All core recoveries are measured and recorded by the drill crew for each run and remeasured and checked by Dreadnought personnel. Core recovery to date has been very high. 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 Drilling 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. |

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 and a blank inserted directly after. 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 QAQC is undertaken and monitored. Diamond Drilling 20cm – 1m quarter core samples are sawn and submitted to the lab for analysis. If core is orientated, then the core is cut so as to preserve the orientation line with the same side of the core submitted down the hole. For the purposes of metallurgical testing, half core was submitted where possible to make the required bulk composite mass required for ongoing testwork. In some instances, this required full core to be used. QAQC in the form of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) are inserted through the mineralised zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within each mineralised zone, a duplicate sample is taken and a blank inserted directly after. 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).

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. 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 66-gram aliquot of pulverised sample is fused with 12:22 lithium borate flux containing an oxidizing agent, and poured to form a fused disk. The resultant disk is in then analysed by XRF spectrometry specifically for Rare Earths (ALS Method ME-XRF30). Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest and Method ME-XRF30 is appropriate for REE determination. No standards, duplicates or blanks submitted with rock chips. |

| 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. |
Preliminary pXRF analysis Analytical data was collected directly by the Olympus Vanta M Series pXRF analyser and downloaded by digital transfer to an excel spreadsheet with inbuilt QAQC. All data was checked by the responsible geologist and filed on the company server. 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. 19 pairs of twinned RC and DD holes have been drilled at this time and compared to validate the RC drilling. No adjustments to any assay data have been undertaken. Rock Chips Rock chip and geological information is written in field books and coordinates and track data saved from hand held GPSs used in the field. Dreadnought geologists have inspected and logged all rock chips. Field data is entered into excel spreadsheets to be loaded into a database. |
| 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° azimuth and +/-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. |
Drill hole location plots have been used to ensure that local drill spacing conforms to the minimum expected for the resource classification. Most sections are drilled at 100m (North) by 25 to 50m (Down Dip) with an infill drilling area of five 50m spaced northing sections in the southern, thicker part of the main Yin deposit |

An overview of the drilling program is given within the text and tables 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. |
Exploration Results have previously been reporting all results greater than 0.2% TREO. Significant intercepts are length weight averaged for all samples with TREO values >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. |

| 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. |
Refer to figures and tables within this report. | |

| Database integrity | • Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes. • Data validation procedures used. |
Mangaroon Project has historically been entered into Microsoft Excel logging sheets and transferred to a Datashed database weekly. More recently due to an ongoing transition between database service providers from MRG to Plexer, logging through Plexer software on tablets began around April 2023. Data exports for the most recent resource model were conducted via the Plexer database. Data in the form of CSV files were imported into Micromine 2023 for validation and processing. No errors were found. |
| Site visits | • Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits. • If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case. |
The Competent Person made a site visit on 12thand 13th September 2022 and viewed RC and DD logging activities and drilling. The CP also reviewed diamond drill core and RC chips on site. |
| Geological interpretation | • Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of ) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit. • Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. • The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation. • The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. • The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology. |
There is reasonable confidence in the geological logging and interpretation. Two major lithologies (ironstone/carbonatite and fenite) have been geologically modelled and are used to control the data used in estimation and the orientation of search ellipses. The geological interpretation is consistent. There has been an alternative interpretation generated via automated geological modelling processes in Micromine 2023 software. It produced similar shapes to the DRE manual interpretation, but because of wide drill spacing in places did not provide adequate continuity between sections. It did however provide very similar interpretations directly on drill sections. |
| Dimensions | • The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource. |
The main Yin mineralisation extends approximately 2.1 km in length, is from 1m to 30m thick and extends from surface (approximately 300m RL) to a maximum depth of 200m. Yin South is 1.2km long and typically 10m thick. |
| Estimation and modelling techniques |
• The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters and maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimation method was chosen include a description of computer software and parameters used. • The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data. • The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products. • Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of economic significance (eg sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation). |
The model has been domained using the interpreted ironstone, carbonatite and fenite geological wireframes. Only data within each domain are used to estimate blocks in that domain. Statistical analysis of the distribution of key variables has been carried out; no top cuts (capping) have been applied. Variography has been carried out on Nd2O3 and Pr6O11 to define the parameters required for Ordinary Kriging. Ordinary Kriging using the functions within Micromine 2023.5 have been used to interpolate block values.

Second pass search ellipse is 200m along strike, 120m down dip and 10m across dip. No assumptions have been made regarding selective mining units. Validation has been carried out using the following methods: Visual comparison of drill hole and block grades in section, plan and 3D. Comparison of declustered mean drill holes against block model grades. Generation of swathe plots. All validation methods produced acceptable results. |

| Moisture | • Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content. |
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis. | |
| Cut-off parameters | • The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied. |
A cutoff 0.2% TREO has been adopted for summary reports; this corresponds to the cutoff used at the close-by and advance-stage Yangibana Project. Other higher-grade cutoffs are also reported to understand the nature of the higher grade parts of the deposit. |
|
| Mining factors or assumptions |
• Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions made. |
Mining is expected to be by conventional open pit methods. No assumptions have been made at this stage regarding the scale of mining or selective mining unit; no dilution has been applied to the resource model. Conventional ore loss and dilution were taken into account during pit optimisation to assess whether there are “Reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” for the Mineral Resource. More rigorous modifying factors for pit optimisation, mine planning work and Reserve estimation will be completed duringfuture studies. |
|
| Metallurgical factors or assumptions |
• The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made. |
Metallurgical test work has been conducted on a composite of drill samples from three diamond holes drilled at Yin, and produced a concentrate containing 31.22% TREO and 10.76 % Nd2O3+Pr6O11(NdPr:TREO ratio of 35%) at an 85.9% TREO recovery (ASX announcement 29 May 2023). Further metallurgical work is ongoing. In July 2021 flotation test work was conducted on a 30kg bulk surface sample and produced a high-grade monazite concentrate with a 92.8% recovery into 3.55% of the original mass. The approximate head grade was 12.3% Nd- 2O3and ~38% TREO. These and other metallurgical factors have been considered against the significant work completed at the more advanced Yangibana Project next door which has similar geology and mineralogy to the Yin Ironstones. |
|
| Environmental factors or assumptions |
• Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made. |
Environmental studies have been carried out on site with Level 1 and Level 2 Flora and Fauna surveys completed. No declared rare species or threatened ecological communities have been identified. Subterranean fauna studies have commenced as part of assessing any impact on the Gifford Creek Calcrete PEC. These and other environmental factors have been considered against the more advanced Yangibana Project next door which has received full state and federal government approvals. |

A number of factors have been considered in arriving at this classification, including: Geological continuity; Data quality; Drill hole spacing; Modelling technique; Estimation properties including search strategy, number of informing data and average distance of data from blocks. Indicated material lies in the area of approximately 50m x 25 to 30m drill spacing. Inferred material generally has 100m spaced sections with 25 to 50m spaced holes on each section. The classification reflects the CP’s view of the deposit. |
| Audits or reviews | • The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates. |
There have been no reviews or audits of the Mineral Resource Estimate. |
| Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence |
• Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate. • The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used. • These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available. |
The relative accuracy is reflected in the JORC resource categories. Indicated resources are considered local in nature, Inferred resources are considered global in nature. No production data is available as the deposit has not yet been mined. |
