ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 18 June 2024

Tiger Cu-Au-Zn-Ag Gossan Confirmed Over ~500m – Mangaroon (100%)

HIGHLIGHTS

• Further mapping and sampling at Tiger have confirmed high-grade Cu-Au, Zn-Ag in multiple, stacked, sub-cropping, gossanous horizons over ~500m of strike, including the highest-grade CuAu, Zn-Ag to date including:

TIG026: 8.7% Cu, 9.0% Zn, 40.7g/t Ag and 1.0g/t Au TIG027: 10.5% Cu, 4.6% Zn, 16.3g/t Ag and 1.0g/t Au TIG028: 1.8% Cu, 4.6% Zn, 6.7g/t Ag and 0.4g/t Au TIG025: 2.4% Zn, 6.3% Pb, 409.0g/t Ag and 0.1g/t Au • These are in addition to previously announced rock chip results, including: TIG006: 4.3% Cu, 1.4% Zn, 22.5g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au MNAU016: 1.6% Cu, 5.2% Zn, 15.5g/t Ag and 0.4g/t Au TIG010: 2.2% Cu, 7.9% Zn, 30.5g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au TIG013: 1.9% Cu, 17.5% Zn, 289.0g/t Ag and 0.3g/t Au TIG013B: 1.4% Cu, 27.1% Zn, 60.1g/t Ag and 0.3g/t Au TIG014: 1.1% Cu, 0.2% Zn, 205.0g/t Ag and 0.8g/t Au

• Rock chip and surface geochemical pathfinders include a strong Bi-Cd-In-Mo-Sb-Se-Sn-Te-W correlation with the Cu-Au, Zn-Ag. These results support a volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) system at Tiger, the first time such a system has been identified in this region.

• Moving loop EM (“MLEM”) surveys are due to commence in July 2024 to assist with further target definition ahead of EIS co-funded drilling at Tiger. An airborne EM survey using the high resolution VTEM Max system is due to commence in July which, combined with ongoing surface geochemical and mapping programs, are expected to generate and define additional targets.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results of target generation activities around the Mangaroon gold camp (100%), located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Identifying a potential high-grade VMS system at Tiger comes on the back of a competitive EIS grant and further underscores the potential of our Mangaroon area. Mapping, geochemical sampling and EM surveys are ongoing ahead of our planned 2024 drill programs.”

SNAPSHOT – MANGAROON GOLD (100%)

Mangaroon Gold is 100% Owned by Dreadnought

• Over 5,000km[2] of highly prospective ground.

• Initial focus area is on the ~15km x 10km gold and VMS system which is situated over the Mangaroon Shear Zone between the crustal scale Minga Bar and Edmund Faults with multiple phases of intrusions.

• Numerous historical workings along the Mangaroon Shear Zone have only seen limited, shallow drilling along ~200m of strike near the Star of Mangaroon mine.

Consolidation Provides for First Ever Modern Exploration

• All historical workings and gold occurrences were discovered by pastoralists and prospectors over outcropping mineralisation. There has been minimal historical and modern exploration due to fractured, small-scale ownership. Large scale modern exploration is now being undertaken for the first time under Dreadnought’s consolidated ownership.

Genuine Camp Scale Potential

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

- Significant, Step change, Growth Potential

• Dreadnought is deploying modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation under shallow cover.

• Initial geochemical and geophysical surveys have generated new prospects with stronger and larger signatures than the historical mines, including the region’s largest high-grade producer at the Star of Mangaroon mine.

- - Shallow, High grade, Au Ag Potential

• The Star of Mangaroon mine contains significant shallow high-grade gold intersections including: (ASX: 6 Jun 2023, 4 Sep 2023, 11 Dec 2023, 22 Jan 2024):

MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 9m MA17: 7m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 21m SOMRC004: 9m @ 13.4 g/t Au from 9m SOMRC005: 7m @ 23.0 g/t Au from 53m SOMRC006: 8m @ 15.5 g/t Au from 89m SOMDD001: 1.4m @ 87.9 g/t Au from 16m Rock chip results from regional prospects and historical workings include: MNRK0515: 74.8 g/t Au (Diamond) TPRK05: 41.7 g/t Au (Two Peaks) SM7: 121.2 g/t Au, 179 g/t Ag (Popeye) RNLYD048: 30.1 g/t Au, 552 g/t Ag (Popeye)

• Rock chip results from regional prospects and historical workings include:

Emerging Cu-Zn-Ag-Au VMS System

• Sub-cropping gossans highlight the potential for the region to contain a substantial VMS system with recent rock chips at the Tiger prospect including:

TIG006: 4.3% Cu, 1.4% Zn, 22.5g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au TIG010: 2.2% Cu, 7.9% Zn, 30.5g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au TIG013: 1.9% Cu, 17.5% Zn, 289.0g/t Ag and 0.3g/t Au TIG026: 8.7% Cu, 9.0% Zn, 40.7g/t Ag and 1.0/t Au TIG027: 10.5% Cu, 4.6% Zn, 16.3g/t Ag and 1.0g/t Au TIG025: 2.4% Zn, 6.3% Pb, 409.0g/t Ag and 0.1g/t Au

Tiger Cu-Au, Zn-Ag Prospect

Tiger is defined by a ~900m x 300m Cu-Au, Zn-Ag and pathfinder-in-soil anomaly generated over multiple soil sampling programs. Tiger contains some of the strongest Cu-Au, Zn-Ag and pathfinder anomalism defined to date at Mangaroon and has been a priority target for mapping and target definition. Importantly, Tiger has recently been awarded a co-funded drilling grant of up to $150,000 under the Geological Survey of Western Australia’s merit-based Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”).

Tiger was originally interpreted to be an intrusion-related gold prospect. However, ongoing detailed mapping and sampling has identified significant horizons of sub-cropping gossans extending for ~500m strike. Importantly, soil geochemical anomalism indicates the horizons extend along strike for >500m. The Cu-Au, Zn-Ag gossans appear to have formed after massive sulphides and, given the strong Bi-Cd-In-Mo-Sb-Se-Sn-Te-W pathfinder association, could be related to VMS style mineralisation. VMS deposits form early within a geological province and tend to occur along primary basement structures that can later be reactivated leading to further enrichment through orogenic or intrusion-related mineralisation systems. VMS deposits can be gold-rich in their own right, similar to Sunshine Gold’s (ASX.SHN) Liontown Project, or have later orogenic or intrusion-related gold mineralisation overprint the primary mineralisation such as at Capricorn Metal’s (ASX.CMM) Mt Gibson Project.

Regardless of deposit style, these results add high-grade Cu-Au, Zn-Ag targets to Mangaroon.

Mapping and geochemical sampling at Tiger and surrounding areas is ongoing and planning is underway for EM surveys to define additional targets within the area. These programs are underway with results expected in July 2024.

Mangaroon Gold

Dreadnought’s focus was originally around the historical Star of Mangaroon mine and a string of historical workings running for ~12kms along the Mangaroon Shear Zone from Popeye up through Pritchard Well (Figure 3).

In 2023, Dreadnought commenced a series of ultrafine fraction soil surveys and a stream sediment sampling program to generate targets within and around the Mangaroon Shear Zone. This resulted in the identification of strong gold and pathfinder anomalies and has expanded the camp scale area to ~15km x 10km.

This work strongly supports a VMS system at Tiger and potentially elsewhere, the first time such a system has been identified in this region.

Detailed mapping, surface sampling and infill target definition work is ongoing. This work is expected to generate exciting new targets and to define drill targets.

Background on Mangaroon Gold (100%)

Dreadnought began the consolidation of the Mangaroon region in late 2020. Dreadnought’s consolidated ownership has, for the first time, allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the high-grade gold potential in the region. This assessment is ongoing and includes: collating unpublished records; rock chipping and mapping of historical workings; a first ever detailed airborne magnetics survey; ultrafine fraction soil surveys; a stream sediment program; and RC and diamond drilling at historical workings.

This work is ongoing and has already highlighted the potential for the area to host intrusion-related and VMS gold systems with an orogenic overprint.

Features from the work to date include (Figure 4):

• Definition of gold-in-soil anomalies with As-Bi-Mo-Sb-Te-W+/-Ag-Cu-Pb pathfinder associations over the main historical mines (Star of Mangaroon, Two Peaks, Pritchard Well, Lead Gold Mine).

• Generation of 12 new targets with gold-in-soil and variable As-Bi-Mo-Sb-Te-W+/-Ag-Cd-In-Pb-Zn pathfinder anomalies, including gold and Cu-Zn-Ag-Au VMS targets.

• Extension of anomalism at Popeye to >500m under shallow cover. Popeye contains a small shaft and rock chips to 121.2 g/t Au, 179 g/t Ag (SM7) and 30.1 g/t Au, 552 g/t Ag (RNLYD048).

• Definition of drill targets at the undrilled Diamond Gold Mine, rock chips to 74.8 g/t Au (MNRK0515), Mitchell’s Find, rock chips to 16.4 g/t Au, 126 g/t Ag (RNLYD029) and ineffectively drilled Two Peaks, rock chips to 41.7g/t Au (TPRK05).

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Kimberley Ni-Cu-Au Project (80/100%)

The project is located only 85kms from Derby in the West Kimberley region of WA and was locked up as a Defence Reserve since 1978.

The project has outcropping mineralisation and historic workings which have seen no modern exploration.

Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au VMS system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to DeGrussa and Monty in the Bryah Basin.

Mangaroon Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE, Au & REE Project (100%)

Mangaroon covers ~5,000kms[2] and is located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. At the Money Intrusion, Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE has been identified. Dreadnought also has areas of outcropping high-grade gold including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamond gold mines. In addition, Mangaroon has emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing, potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include:

• An Exploration Target estimated for the top 150m of ~40km of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex (ASX 13 Feb 2023).

• An independent Resource for Yin Ironstones Complex of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO over only

==> picture [247 x 329] intentionally omitted <==

• ~4.6kms – including a Measured and Indicated Resource of 26.3Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX 30 Nov 2023).

• Regional source of rare earths at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite totaling ~17kms x ~1km (ASX 7 Aug 2023).

• A large, independent initial Resource of 10.84Mt @ 1.00% TREO at the Gifford Creek Carbonatites, containing a range of critical minerals including rare earths, niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium (ASX 28 Aug 2023).

Bresnahan HREE-Au-U Project (100%)

Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises ~3,700kms[2] 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, unconformity uranium (“ U ”) deposits and mesothermal lode gold similar to Paulsens Au-Ag-Sb deposits along strike.

Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Bresnahan Basin had been successfully 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 (100%)

Central Yilgarn is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~1,400kms[2] covering ~150km of strike along the majority of the Illaara, Yerilgee, South Elvire and Evanston greenstone belts. Central Yilgarn is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits, VMS base metals, komatiitehosted nickel sulphides and critical metals including Lithium-Cesium-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	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 gold by fire assay and ICP-MS finish (ALS Method Au-ICP22) and 48 other elements by four acid digest and ICP-MS finish (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.

Exploration done by other parties	• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	Historical exploration of a sufficiently high standard was carried out by a few parties which have been outlined and detailed in this ASX announcement including: Regional Resources 1986-1988s: WAMEX Reports A23715, 23713 Peter Cullen 1986: WAMEX Report A36494 Carpentaria Exploration Company 1980: WAMEX Report A9332 Newmont 1991: WAMEX Report A32886 Hallmark Gold 1996: WAMEX Report A49576 Rodney Drage 2011: WAMEX Report A94155 Sandfire Resources 2005-2012: WAMEX Report 94826
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 and intrusion-related gold, VMS base metals, magmatic Ni-Cu- Co-PGE mineralisationandcarbonatitehosted 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 undertaken.
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 usedfor any reporting of metal	No drilling undertaken.

	equivalent values should be 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 undertaken.
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. Figures within the announcement show the location and results of all soil samples collected within the reported area. Statistics for UFF soil samples (Au) within the Mangaroon Project to date (n: 9,763) are: Minimum: <0.5 ppb Max: 970.5 ppb Median: 3.0 ppb Mean: 5.3 ppb Std Dev: 14.9 ppb 90%: 9.6 ppb 95%: 14.4 ppb 98%: 24.1 ppb
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.
