SABRE – Y8 RARE EARTH IRONSTONE DISCOVERY CONFIRMED BY ASSAYS – MANGAROON (100%)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assays received for 38 first pass, wide spaced RC holes (4,246m) confirm the discovery of additional thick, high grade rare-earth element (“REE”) mineralisation at the Sabre and Y8 ironstones. Significant intercepts include:

  • Y3RC002: 9m @ 1.02% TREO from 7m, including 1m @ 7.01% TREO (17% NdPr:TREO) from 12m

  • Y3RC003: 2m @ 1.81% TREO from 15m, including 1m @ 3.2% TREO (15% NdPr:TREO) from 15m

  • Y3RC006: 4m @ 2.01% TREO from 53m, including 1m @ 6.96% TREO (17% NdPr:TREO) from 53m

  • Y3RC009: 12m @ 1.21% TREO from 51m, including 3m @ 2.00% TREO (27% NdPr:TREO) from 60m

  • Y3RC013: 3m @ 2.54% TREO from 14m, including 1m @ 4.85% TREO (21% NdPr:TREO) from 15m

  • Y3RC018: 7m @ 1.29% TREO from 17m, including 1m @ 2.23% TREO (24% NdPr:TREO) from 18m

  • Y3RC019: 23m @ 0.93% TREO from 141m, including 9m @ 1.54% TREO (27% NdPr:TREO) from 153m

  • Y3RC034: 7m @ 1.15% TREO from 9m, including 1m @ 6.2% TREO (16% NdPr:TREO) from 9m

  • Sabre (3km) and Y8 (12km) extend for a combined total of ~15km of strike and are part of the ~30km of strike along the Yin REE Ironstone Complex. An initial Resource of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO was announced in December 2022 covering just 10% of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex.

  • RC and diamond drilling will recommence in February/March 2023 along the ~30km of strike at Yin as well as the C1-C7 carbonatites. Additional Resource updates will be announced during 2023.

  • Assays from first pass C1-C5 drilling and regional sampling are expected in late January 2023.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce two additional discoveries have been confirmed by assays at Sabre and Y8, part of the ~30km long Yin REE Ironstone Complex at the 100% owned Mangaroon project, located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ Confirming the Sabre and Y8 discoveries, located over 8kms east of the initial Yin resource underscores the significant potential of the wider ~30 strike kilometre Yin REE Ironstone Complex to deliver additional mineralisation, discoveries, and resources. The success of this first pass wide spaced program not only highlights the potential of the wider complex and the Sabre and Y8 trends, but it lays the foundation for follow up framework drilling and ultimately the delivery of additional discoveries along other ironstone trends in addition to Yin. With additional approvals in place along the Yin Ironstone Complex, and the C2-5 and C6 carbonatites, we are looking forward to re-commencing exploration in February/March 2023.”

SNAPSHOT - MANGAROON RARE EARTHS

100% Owned by Dreadnought

  • Mangaroon REE-Nb-Ti-P is 100% owned by Dreadnought.

Genuine Scale Potential Already at Yin Ironstone Complex

  • Initial independent Yin Resource of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO covers only 3km of 30km of strike and is based on only 2.5 months of RC drilling (11,907m). Yin remains open over an additional 27km of strike and at depth.

  • At a cut-off grade of 0.20% TREO the Resource amounts to 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO. Over the 3km of the 30km long strike of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex, this equates to a Resource intensity of ~4.8Mt/km and strong potential for Mangaroon to become a large-scale, globally significant REE project .

  • 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 may be the regional source of REE – initial drill program expands C1-C5 to ~6.5kms in strike length x 1km wide.

  • Confirmed mineralisation at 22 outcropping targets with another 10 prospective targets requiring further work – drilling planned.

  • 100 additional targets prospective for REE identified – under assessment.

- - High grade, Multi Metal Potential Including Neodymium, Praseodymium, Niobium, Titanium & Phosphorus

  • Yin, like the Yangibana REE project controlled by the ~$460M Hastings Technology Metals Ltd (ASX.HAS), (“ Hastings ”) is globally unique due to the high proportion of NdPr in the total rare earth oxides (“ NdPr:TREO ” ratio).

  • Six coherent zones of REE-Nb-Ti-P successfully identified within C1-C5 carbonatites.

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 25km 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

RC Drill Program (Y3RC001-Y3RC038)

The 2022 RC program at Sabre and Y8 consisted of 38 RC holes (4,246m).

Given the general lack of outcrop at Sabre and Y8, this initial program was designed to determine the location and orientation of the mineralised ironstones identified in sporadic outcrops that had been sampled in reconnaissance work. This is done through wide “first pass” drilling including spaced fence lines and scissor holes to intersect and determine the orientation of the ironstones.

The program successfully intersected mineralised ironstones ranging from 1-23m thickness over ~1km in strike and the mineralisation remains open in all directions. Additionally, the program has intersected significant ironstones in parallel lodes to the main targeted trend seen in section 7347000mN (Figure 3). This opens up potential for a new trend which is yet to be tested.

The current focus for RC drilling at Mangaroon is to show scale across the known prospects and to deliver a number of discoveries. Discoveries will then be converted and added to the already strong initial Resource.

Figure 3: Cross section 7346800mN shows drilling has intersected a subvertical 8-20m wide REE bearing ferrocarbonatite that is weathered to an oxide ironstone in the top ~80 vertical metres.

Technical Discussion on the RC Drill Program (Y3RC001-Y3RC038)

Sabre is interpreted to be a ~3km long roughly north-south trending REE bearing ironstone swarm that both outcrops and extends under shallow cover while Y8 is a ~12km long WNW-ESE trending ironstone that runs from Yin past Sabre to the SE.

Sabre and Y8 show evidence for parallel or stacked ironstone horizons with more expected to be discovered. Rock chips collected in 2021 showed high-grade mineralisation from scattered outcropping and sub-cropping ironstone with values up to 39.0% TREO. While the grades at surface were higher than at Yin, the lack of clear outcrop made determining the exact location and trend of the main ironstone lode horizon difficult. This resulted in requiring first pass assessment of Sabre and Y8 using wide spaced, fence line, RC drilling.

Drilling to date has confirmed the presence of a main REE bearing lode horizon along a total of ~3km of strike with multiple parallel lodes intersected on the longer fence line sections. The main lode horizon pinches, swells and has a predominantly sub-vertical dip that ranges in thickness from 1-23m. Encouragingly and as seen at Yin, parallel lodes have been intersected west of the main lode and appear to exhibit a similar orientation as the main lode with thicknesses ranging from 1-7m.

The ironstones consist of goethite and hematite dominated oxide zones near the surface (top ~80m) transitioning into a fresh ferrocarbonatite dyke (fresh REE ironstone), comprised of ankerite and siderite below the base of oxidation. The ironstones are surrounded by a much thinner fenitised

country rock compared to Yin. Both the ironstone and the fenite immediately surrounding the ironstone are mineralised, similar to Yin, the ironstone and ferrocarbonatite contain an interval of higher-grade mineralisation.

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.
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken
to produce samples for assaying.
Laboratory Analysis
Two sampling techniques were utilised for this
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.
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”.
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 bythe

supervising geologist to ensure good sample
quality.
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 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.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
See table 1 and 2 for hole positions and sampling
information.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure

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.
Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular
angle to the interpreted strike and dip of the
ironstone outcrops and modelled magnetic data.
No sample bias is known at this time.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

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 1 and 2 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.
All results greater than 0.2% TREO have been
reported.
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.
The true thickness of the mineralisation
intersected in drill holes cannot currently be
calculated.
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;
