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. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| 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). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
