MINERALISED REE IRONSTONES INCREASED BY 13KMS TO 43KMS – MANGAROON (100%)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Surface sampling along the Yin REE Ironstone Complex has increased the mineralised ironstones by ~13kms to ~43kms including the addition of two further ironstone trends (Y9 and Y42). Significant results include:

From Y42: MNRK0602: 4.68% TREO, 2.25% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (48% NdPr:TREO); and MNRK0598: 5.65% TREO, 2.54% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (45% NdPr:TREO) From Y9: MNRK0650: 4.05% TREO, 1.01% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (25% NdPr:TREO); and MNRK0652: 3.77% TREO, 1.09% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (29% NdPr:TREO) From Yin: MNRK0612: 5.12% TREO, 2.26% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (44% NdPr:TREO); and MNRK0611: 1.68% TREO, 0.75% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (45% NdPr:TREO) From Y8: MNRK0575: 8.00% TREO, 1.71% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (21% NdPr:TREO); and MNRK0574: 7.55% TREO, 1.33% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (18% NdPr:TREO)

  • Y42 has produced NdPr:TREO ratios up to 48% and outcrops to the north of Yin and further confirms NdPr:TREO ratios increasing to the north. Y9 increases scale being located ~12kms northwest of Yin.

  • Initial rock chips over C7 confirm another mineralised carbonatite ~5kms southeast of C5.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that assays from regional surface sampling have extended the current strike of the Yin Rare Earth Element (“ REE ”) Ironstone Complex by 30% to ~43kms of strike at the 100% owned Mangaroon project, located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.

==> picture [208 x 334] intentionally omitted <==

As part of the regional sampling, two new REE ironstone trends have been identified (Y42 and Y9). Y42 has produced some of the highest NdPr:TREO ratios to date while Y9 significantly expands the scale of the Yin Ironstone Complex being located ~12kms northwest of Yin. Additionally, surface sampling over the largely undercover C7 carbonatite has confirmed REE mineralisation similar to early results at the C3 and C4 carbonatites.

Drilling of the Yin Ironstone Complex and the C1-7 carbonatites will commence in February/March 2023.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ These results further emphasise the ever-increasing scale of the critical metals at Mangaroon. With only one surface sampling program we have: increased the mineralised ironstones by over 40%; confirmed increasing NdPr:TREO ratios at Yin; discovered two new ironstones at Y9 and Y42; and confirmed that the C7 carbonatite is mineralised. With over 43kms of mineralised ironstones, a multi-metal, regional source at C3 and six more potential source carbonatites, we are extremely excited about what the drill rigs will deliver for us in 2023.”

SNAPSHOT - MANGAROON RARE EARTHS

Mangaroon is 100% Owned by Dreadnought

Genuine Scale Potential Already at Yin Ironstone Complex

  • Initial independent Yin Inferred Resource of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO ( ASX 28 Dec 2022) covers only 3kms of 43kms of strike and is based on only 2.5 months of RC drilling (11,907m). The immediate Yin trend remains open over an additional 16km of strike and at depth.

  • Over the 3km of the 43km long strike of the Yin Ironstone Complex, the Resource intensity is ~4.8Mt/km .

  • First tranche of long-term incentives now triggered with balance on track to be triggered at JORC Resource of at least 30Mt @ >1% TREO by 31 December 2024.

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

  • C1-C7 carbonatites are shaping up as the regional source of REE – initial drill program expands C1-C5 to ~6.5kms in strike length x 1km wide.

  • C6 Carbonatite located ~25kms south of C1-5 and C7 is situated over a crustal scale structural splay of the Lyons River Fault and has a geophysical similarity to other globally significant carbonatite intrusions such as Mt Weld, Araxa and Ngualla.

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

  • Yin, like the Yangibana REE project controlled by the ~$450M Hastings Technology Metals Ltd (ASX.HAS) (“ Hastings ”) is globally unique due to the high proportion of NdPr as a total of the rare earth oxides (“ NdPr:TREO “ ratio).

  • Six coherent zones of REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc successfully identified within C1-C5 carbonatites with a ~600m x 550m zone of REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc mineralisation now confirmed at the C3 discovery.

Potentially Attractive Mining Proposition

  • Broad zones of shallow dipping mineralisation with parallel lodes and Resource intensity of ~4.8Mt/km make for a potentially attractive mining proposition.

Positive Metallurgy Results

  • Initial metallurgical test work from Yin performed well, achieving a recovery of 92.8% at a concentrate grade of 12.3% Nd2O3 and an average 40% TREO.

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

  • Significant metallurgical study from 16 diamond holes drilled at Yin underway – results expected April/May 2023.

Analogous to a Globally Unique, Commercially Viable Development 25kms Away

  • Yangibana is located only 25kms to the northeast of Yin and currently has a Resource* of 29.93Mt @ 0.93% TREO with 0.32% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (34% NdPr:TREO).

  • Yangibana is under construction and development with first production planned for 2024.

Global Strategic Imperative Driving Rare Earth Growth & Prices

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

*HAS.ASX: 11 Oct 2022 Drilling along 8km long Bald Hill-Fraser’s trend increases indicated resources by 50%; 15 Dec 2022 Potential identified to significantly expand Yangibana Resource Base

Mangaroon REE ironstones (E09/2448, E09/2450, E09/2535: DRE 100%)

The Yangibana ironstones are readily accessible and located 5-20kms from the Cobra-Gifford Creek Road. The ironstones were first explored in 1972 for base metals. The REE potential of the ironstones was first assessed in 1985 and has seen substantial work by Hastings since 2011. The ~$450M Hastings controls the Yangibana Ironstone Project and is Dreadnought’s immediate neighbour being to the north of the Lyons River Fault.

Yangibana currently has a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource* of 29.93Mt @ 0.93% TREO with 0.32% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (34% NdPr:TREO) and is under construction and development. The high proportion of Nd2O3+Pr6O11 (used for electric vehicle magnets and renewable power generation) is an important component of Yangibana’s economics.

Prior to Dreadnought, no significant REE exploration was undertaken south of the Lyons River Fault being the point at which the Yangibana REE ironstones were considered to terminate.

With the exploration success of the past 18 months, Dreadnought has expanded the scale of the Gifford Creek Ferro Carbonatite Complex (including Hastings’s Yangibana and Dreadnought’s Yin) as defined by the outer REE bearing ironstones to ~35kms x ~25kms. In addition, Dreadnought has confirmed a source carbonatite intrusive plug at C3 with other sources potentially following at C1-C2 and C4-C7. These plugs sit in the centre of the complex and are within the crustal scale structure, the Lyons River Fault.

The outcropping Yangibana REE ironstones have a distinctive radiometric anomaly and appear as gossanous iron rich outcrops visible in ortho-imagery. From June to September 2021, Dreadnought announced the identification of the Yin, Y2 and Y3 REE ironstones using wide spaced 1990s government radiometric data and modern orthoimagery. From September to November 2021, Dreadnought undertook a ~43,000-line kilometre magneticradiometric survey resulting in the identification of seven carbonatite targets (C1-C7).

During 2022, Dreadnought completed a project wide targeting exercise of the substantial and detailed magneticradiometric survey identifying ~140 anomalies prospective for REE mineralisation. Regional sampling and mapping of these prospects has resulted in the identification of the distinct Yin, Y8, Y9, Sabre and Y42 REE Ironstone trends, totalling over 43kms of strike as well as the C1-7 carbonatites.

A number of regional prospects were identified as ferricretes paleochannels and residual laterites with the radiometric anomalies likely resulting from residual monazite concentrations. Orientation geochemical surveys have been completed over these prospects to determine if further work is warranted to explore undercover.

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 Newmoan 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 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.).
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.
No drilling undertaken
Sub-sampling
techniques and

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.

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.
sample prep and analysis.
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) 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 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.
Rock Chips
Rock chip and geological information is written in
field books and coordinates and track data saved
from handheld 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.
All sample locations were recorded with a Garmin
handheld GPS which has an accuracy of +/- 5m.
GDA94 MGAz50.
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.
Sample spacing and distribution is not sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for a Mineral Resource.

Criteria JORC Code explanation JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
At this early stage of exploration, mineralisation
thicknesses, 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.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The
Mangaroon
Project
is
located
within
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.
No drilling reported
Data aggregation

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.

clearly stated.
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.
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).

possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this information is
not commercially sensitive.
