MANGAROON GOLD REVIEW AND FURTHER CONSOLIDATION – MANGAROON 100%

HIGHLIGHTS

  • A six-month review into the high-grade gold at Mangaroon has identified significant potential in a ~40km x ~20km focus area around the Mangaroon Shear Zone - a linkage structure between the crustal scale Minga Bar and Edmund Faults. There are numerous historical workings along the >10km Shear Zone which has remarkably only seen significant drilling (34 holes) over ~200m strike at the Star of Mangaroon mine (Figure 2).

  • The historical drilling at the Star of Mangaroon includes significant (post mining) intercepts:

  • MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 4m

  • MA23: 2m @ 29.8 g/t Au from 19m

  • SMC07: 4m @ 18.7 g/t Au from 18m

    • MA17: 7m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 7m

    • MA43: 1m @ 53.0 g/t Au from 18m

    • SMC09: 4m @ 16.4 g/t Au from 14m

  • Rock chips from historical workings within the focus area include:

  • MNRK0515: 74.8 g/t Au (Diamond)

  • SM7: 121.2 g/t Au, 179 g/t Ag (Popeye)

  • TPRK05: 41.7 g/t Au (Two Peaks)

  • RNCYD048: 53.0 g/t Au, 552 g/t Ag (Popeye)

  • The Lead Gold Mine (M09/91), the last remaining mining lease within the area, has now been conditionally acquired from an unrelated third party*. Dreadnought now has 100% ownership of all significant historical workings around the Mangaroon Shear Zone. The Lead Gold Mine has never been drilled.

  • Significant ultrafine soils geochemical and stream sediment surveys are being undertaken over the focus area.

  • RC drilling will commence in August 2023 at the Star of Mangaroon, the Lead Gold Mine, Cullen’s Find, Two Peaks and Diamond following the completion of the current Resource focussed drilling at the Yin ironstones.

  • Drilling at the Yin ironstones, the C1-C7 carbonatites and metallurgical studies ongoing.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a six-month review into the high-grade gold potential, and acquired* the Lead Gold Mine, at Mangaroon in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The Gascoyne remains one of the most underexplored terrains, with minimal cover, in all of Western Australia. The results of this review underscores our belief that this region will continue to deliver at and near surface opportunities across a range of commodities. Having now consolidated the historical workings around the Star of Mangaroon, we are well positioned to progress a significant high grade gold opportunity to our portfolio.”

SNAPSHOT – MANGAROON GOLD

Mangaroon Gold is 100% Owned by Dreadnought

  • Over 5,000sq kms of highly prospective ground, with minimal historical and no modern exploration.

  • Initial focus areas is a ~40km x ~20km focus area around the Mangaroon Shear Zone - a linkage structure between the crustal scale Minga Bar and Edmund Faults.

  • There are numerous historical workings along the >10km Shear Zone which has remarkably only seen drilling over ~200m at the Star of Mangaroon mine.

No Modern Exploration

  • All historical workings and gold occurrences were discovered by pastoralists and prospectors over outcropping mineralisation.

  • No detailed geophysical, or geochemical surveys undertaken.

  • Limited drilling, with only shallow drilling over ~200m strike at the Star of Mangaroon in the 1990s and a handful of shallow drill holes at Two Peaks (800m), Cullen’s (352m) and Pritchard (2 holes, unverified).

Genuine Camp Scale Potential

  • Five historical mines developed on outcropping mineralisation and dozens of gold occurrences along highly prospective structural corridors.

  • Majority of historical workings cover an ~800km[2] area within Dreadnought’s consolidated land holding.

- Significant, Step change, Growth Potential

  • Dreadnought will deploy modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation under shallow cover.

  • Target generation and definition work is underway with results in August 2023

  • RC drilling will commence in August 2023 with further drilling in November 2023.

- - Shallow, High grade, Au Ag Potential

  • Historical drill results include:

  • MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 4m

Mangaroon Gold Review

Dreadnought began the consolidation of the Mangaroon region in late 2020, initially to pursue the nickel and highgrade gold potential which had been identified by Allan McDonald, a pastoralist who owned Mangaroon Station.

The completion of the current Resource focussed drilling at the Yin ironstones provides a window of opportunity to focus on the high-grade gold opportunity at Mangaroon.

Over the past six months, Dreadnought has undertaken a review of the high-grade gold potential within the consolidated land holding. This has consisted of:

  • Review of historic, publicly available information;

  • Discussions with pastoralists and prospectors who have worked the area over the years;

  • Discussions with industry geologists who have explored the ground in the past; and

  • Acquisition of detailed magnetic data (ongoing).

This is the first-time information on the historical workings and gold occurrences from such a wide range of sources has been compiled and has resulted in highlighting the significant scale of gold mineralisation along the >10km long Mangaroon Shear Zone - a significant splay structure linking the Minga Bar and Edmund Faults. Importantly, no modern exploration has been undertaken (Figure 2). Remarkably only ~200m of drilling has been undertaken along the >10km Shear Zone.

Occurrences such as Popeye with rock chips including (SM7: 121.2 g/t Au, 179 g/t Ag and RNCYD048: 53.0 g/t Au,

==> picture [396 x 372] intentionally omitted <==

552 g/t Ag) , the recently acquired Lead Gold Mine (rock chips pending, but significant visible gold identified), Diamond Gold Mine (MNRK0515: 74.8 g/t Au) and Mitchell’s Find (RNLYD029: 16.4 g/t Au, 126 g/t Ag)* have never been drilled.

Star of Mangaroon

The Star of Mangaroon mine has been the largest historic gold producer in the Gascoyne region. Between 1960 and 1983 the mine produced 7,464 oz at an average grade of 34.8g/t Au[1] . The mine was discovered in 1956 by the local pastoralist, Allan McDonald. Most of the gold production was mined from underground with the lowest extraction level ~90m below surface.

The Two Peaks mine is located ~9kms northwest of the Star of Mangaroon. The small open pit produced ~5,000 oz at a grade of ~7.9 g/t Au[1] .

The Star of Mangaroon has received little exploration work since its discovery. Drilling undertaken in the 1990s produced significant results including:

  • MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 4m

  • MA23: 2m @ 29.8 g/t Au from 19m

  • SMC07: 4m @ 18.7 g/t Au from 18m

  • MA17: 7m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 7m

  • MA43: 1m @ 53.0 g/t Au from 18m

  • SMC09: 4m @ 16.4 g/t Au from 14m

The majority of historical drilling is within 50m of the surface with only one hole drilled below 100m which returned 4m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 176m (STMRC005) and highlights the potential of the lode to continue at depth (Figure 3).

Next Steps

With historical exploration in the region dominated by pastoralists and prospectors, there has been no significant modern exploration undertaken over the now consolidated land holding. All the known gold occurrences were mineralised outcrops, in an area dominated by shallow colluvial cover. There is significant opportunity for further discovery by:

  • expanding upon the known mineralisation, most of which will be drilled for the first time; and

  • deploying modern techniques to explore undercover to unlock the controlling mechanisms on mineralisation in the region.

A detailed airborne magnetic survey (100m line spacing) has been flown, with even higher resolution (50m line spacing) flown over the ~40km x ~20km focus area. Results are being received and interpretation has commenced.

Target definition focused ultrafine soil survey is currently underway over the Mangaroon Shear Zone. Additionally, target definition focused stream sediment sampling is nearly complete over the region which may result in the identification of further gold camps.

RC drilling will commence over historical workings at the Star of Mangaroon, Diamond Gold Mine, Lead Gold Mine, Two Peaks and Cullen’s Find in August 2023. A second round of drilling, to follow up on the initial program and to test any targets defined following the geophysical and geochemical surveys, is planned for November 2023.

Lead Gold Mine Key Commercial Terms with the Unrelated Vendor (subject to Completion)

Key commercial terms to acquire 100% of M09/091 are summarised below:

  • Dreadnought to own 100% upon Completion;

  • Dreadnought to pay $60,000 upon signing the Sale & Purchase Agreement (paid);

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

==> picture [217 x 288] intentionally omitted <==

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 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 3kms Yin REE Ironstone Complex delivering 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (30% NdPr:TREO Ratio) (ASX 28 Dec 2022 ) with an additional 40 strike kilometres 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

JORC TABLE 1

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.		 Historical Rock Chips
Quality of assay data and lab techniques are
unknown and should be treated as indicative.
Further work will be undertaken to confirm
historical prospects and mineralised occurrences.
Special attention is drawn to WAMEX reports:

MA1-28 (Balde Exploration 1988: A24641):
Every meter a ~2kg sample (split) was
subsampled into a plastic bag via a two-tier riffle
splitter. A meter was logged geologically and “the
most promising drill intersections” were sent to
Australian Assay Laboratories in Perth for gold
determination by fire assay and a AAS finish.
(it is worth noting in the geological discussion that
“It was virtually impossible to distinguish the
orebody from the barren biotite gneiss in rock
chips” and the impact that would have on their
selective sampling approach)

WAMEX Report A43137
Every meter a ~1-2kg sample (split) was
subsampled into a calico bag via a three-tier riffle

A four meter composite sample was made from
the bulk reject material and sent to Genalysis
Laboratories in Perth for determination of gold “at
ppm levels” using an aqua regia digest and flame

Mangaroon Zone of the Gascoyne Province.
The Mangaroon Project is prospective for
orogenic
gold,
magmatic
Ni-Cu-PGE
mineralisation and carbonatite hosted REEs.
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 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.		 No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths		 •
These

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’).		 Historical Drilling
All historical drilling was drilled perpendicular to
the targeted structures as understood at the
time. The true orientation and relationship with
drilling will be determined and confirmed
through further drilling. Once this work is
completed then the relationship with true widths
can be determined.
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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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).
•
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.		 Additional RC drilling
