BRESNAHAN (100%) EMERGING AS AN UNCONFORMITY LIGHT & HEAVY RARE EARTH PROVINCE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Reconnaissance “proof-of-concept” surface sampling along major basement structures and unconformities has produced significant light and heavy rare earth results including:

    • BBRK0046: 1.33% TREO (31% NdPr:TREO and 25% HREE:TREO) comprised of: 3.25 kg/t Nd2O3, 0.84 kg/t Pr6O11, 0.34 kg/t Dy2O3, 0.06 kg/t Tb2O3

    • BBRK0050: 1.21% TREO (30% NdPr:TREO and 19% HREE:TREO) comprised of: 2.80 kg/t Nd2O3, 0.77 kg/t Pr6O11, 0.25 kg/t Dy2O3, 0.05 kg/t Tb2O3

  • The heavy rare earth (HREE) results and associated P, Sr and Ba pathfinders are similar to those seen at the unconformity HREE Browns Range deposits owned by Northern Minerals Ltd. (ASX:NTU).

  • HREE (particularly dysprosium, Dy2O3 and terbium, Tb2O3) are in high demand, short supply and are critical in a range of technologies including magnets, hybrid cars, fibre optics, TV screens, solid-state hard drives and medical devices. HREE also attract a significant price premium to light REE.

  • Bresnahan is believed to be the first application of the unconformity HREE model outside the Athabasca Basin in Canada and the North Australia Craton (including Browns Range) where the model was developed.

  • Dreadnought controls >3,700sqkms of prospective ground at Bresnahan. In addition to rare earths, high-grade AuAg-Sb veins were confirmed with significant results including:

  • BBRK0012: 11.8 g/t Au, 650 g/t Ag and 2.9% Sb • BBRK0013: 11.9 g/t Au, 710 g/t Ag, 0.5% Sb

  • Target generation and definition work will commence in February / March 2023 to develop drill targets.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that assays from reconnaissance surface sampling have confirmed unconformity HREE mineralisation, similar to the Browns Range project, at the 100% owned Bresnahan project, located in the Ashburton Region of Western Australia.

==> picture [206 x 277] intentionally omitted <==

Bresnahan was only acquired at the end of 2022 as a conceptual unconformity HREE province given the geological similarities to Browns Range in northern Australia and the Athabasca Basin in Canada where the model was developed and published in 2018.

Target generation and definition work will commence in February/March 2023.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ From concept to proof of concept in a few months, and a single reconnaissance field visit, Dreadnought has positioned itself with a significant land holding in an emerging HREE province making Dreadnought one of the few, if not only, rare earth companies with exposure to critical light (Nd, Pr) and heavy (Dy, Tb) rare earths. With over 3,700 sq kms to now systematically explore, Dreadnought is excited at what Bresnahan will produce over the next 12 months as we aim to generate and define targets throughout 2023.”

Bresnahan is a conceptual unconformity HREE project containing >3,700sqkms of prospective ground. Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin and is accessible by the Ashburton Downs – Meekatharra Road.

The Bresnahan Basin and the unconformable contact with the underlying Wyloo Group sediments is interpreted to be a similar geological setting to that seen at the Athabasca Basin in Canada and Browns Range in Western Australia. These settings form the basis of the unconformity HREE model, originally published in 2018 in collaboration with Northern Minerals Ltd. Rare earth elements were identified within the Bresnahan Basin as early as 2008; however, their significance was not recognised due to the lack of a coherent geological model.

In November 2022, a two-day reconnaissance program was undertaken to collect surface samples along significant structural trends and geophysical anomalies to confirm HREE mineralisation and associated pathfinders. In total, 17 locations were visited along the unconformity and basement structures. This program confirmed significant alteration, veining, brecciation and related hematite and manganese alteration associated with prospective structures.

In addition to rare earths, assays confirmed widespread pathfinder association along all major structures. Given the reconnaissance nature of the program, this is considered a resounding success and confirmation that Bresnahan has significant potential to host unconformity HREEs.

Next steps include geophysical surveys, and systematic mapping and sampling of the >300km of strike along major structural trends to define targets.

The Unconformity HREE Model

Rare earth element deposits are typically associated with alkaline igneous rock or develop as placer or laterite deposits. In 2018, a team led by Carl Spandler, Teimoor Nazari-Dehkordi with support from Nicholas Oliver and Robin Wilson from Northern Minerals Ltd. published the Unconformity-Related Rare Earth Element Deposit Model ( Economic Geology v.113, no.6, pp1297-1305 ). The publication was based on observations from Browns Range and the Athabasca Basin where this style of mineralisation had been first observed and studied.

Unconformity related HREE mineralisation is entirely hydrothermal in origin with no demonstrable links to magmatism. The mineralisation and associated P, Sr and Ba pathfinder anomalism, occurs as numerous xenotimerich vein and breccia bodies typically associated with the regional unconformity between Archean metasedimentary rocks and overlying Proterozoic sandstones and conglomerates. At Browns Range, these rocks are the Browns Range Metamorphics and the overlying Birrindudu Group. At Bresnahan, these are interpreted to be the Wyloo Group unconformably overlain by the Bresnahan Group.

Precipitation of HREE mineralisation involves fluid leaching HREEs from the underlying basement metasediments and subsequently mixing with a P-bearing acidic fluid from the overlying sandstones and conglomerates in fault zones near the unconformity. As seen at Browns Range and the Athabasca Basin, HREE mineralisation can be found at the unconformity as well as in the footwall and hangingwall sediments along significant structures (see Figure 3).

In addition to the unconformity HREE mineralisation, a Au-Ag-Sb prospect was confirmed and higlights the potential for mesothermal Au-Ag-Sb mineralisation similar to that seen elsewhere in the region (eg Black Cat Syndicate Ltd’s (ASX:BC8) Mt Clement deposit).

Significant results include:

• BBRK0012: 11.8 g/t Au, 650 g/t Ag and 2.9% Sb BBRK0013: 11.9 g/t Au, 710 g/t Ag, 0.5% Sb

Given the similarities in structural setting of mesothermal Au-Ag-Sb and unconformity HREEs, all early stage exploration will be applicable to both styles of mineralisation and Au-Ag-Sb targets will be generated alongside HREE targets.

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

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

contains outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides in the recently defined Money Intrusion. Dreadnought’s 100% owned areas contain outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamond’s gold mines, along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under development at the Yangibana REE Project and seven carbonatite intrusions which may be the source of the regions rare earth mineralisation.

Dreadnought has delivered an initial JORC Resource over just 3kms Yin REE Ironstone Complex delivering 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (30% NdPr:TREO Ratio) with an additional 27 strike kilometres to be tested in 2023.

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.
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 and ICP-MS (ALS Method
ME-MS81) and other 48 other elements by four
acid digest and ICP-MS (ALS Method ME-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.).
No drilling undertaken
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.
No drilling undertaken
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.

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) and
precision have been established.
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 prepared sample (0.100 g) is added to lithium
metaborate/lithium tetraborate flux, mixed well and
fused in a furnace at 1025°C. The resulting melt is
then cooled and dissolved in an acid mixture
containing nitric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric
acids. This solution is then analyzed by inductively
coupled plasma - mass spectrometry specifically for
Rare Earths (ALS Method ME-MS81)
Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest
and Method ME-MS81 is appropriate for REE
determination.
No standards, duplicates or blanks submitted with
rock chips.

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.
At this early stage of exploration, mineralisation
thickness’s, orientation and dips are not known.
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.
Samples were delivered directly to ALS
Laboratories Perth by Exmouth Haulage out of
Exmouth.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
The program is continuously reviewed by senior
company personnel.

Reports 71800, 74419
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The Bresnahan Project is located over Wyloo
Group metasediments and the Bresnahan Group
in the Ashburton Basin.
The Bresnahan Project is prospective for
orogenic gold and unconformity related 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.
No drilling reported.
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 drilling results reported.
All results greater than 0.1% TREO have been
reported.
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’).
No drilling reported.
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.
