EXPLORATION
Exploration activities for the quarter include:
MANGAROON (100%)
This project covers over 5,300kms[2] of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The two focus areas are currently:
-
Mangaroon Au
-
Mangaroon Nb-REE
MANGAROON AU
Mangaroon hosts many historical alluvial and shallow hard rock mines, five of which are located on granted Mining Leases with minimal barriers to production. Advanced prospects include the Star of Mangaroon which was the largest regional producer and is high-grade and Popeye, with a shaft originally intended as a water supply going straight down a mineralized vein.

Strategic Opportunity (Au)
Significant points include:
-
Star of Mangaroon is a high grade, at surface, opportunity.
-
The Paulsens Gold Operation anticipates spare mill capacity within viable trucking distances.
-
Mining tenements are already granted, heritage agreements are in place and there is a short approval timeframe.
-
Funding, development, haulage and processing can be outsourced to third parties.
-
There are numerous other projects in the area.

MANGAROON Nb-REE
Mangaroon REE is a globally significant critical minerals complex with a combined Resource at Yin and the Gifford Creek Carbonatite of 40.82Mt @ 1.03% TREO. The Yin Resource of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX 30 Nov 2023) is 87% Measured and Indicated.
Mangaroon (Figure 3) covers >5,300kms[2] of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia and is comprised of:
-
45km long Money Intrusion (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE): containing high tenor magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE.
-
~10km x 15km Mangaroon Gold Camp (Au, Cu-Au-Zn-Ag): where fractured, small-scale ownership has limited previous gold exploration with only ~200m of the >12km long Mangaroon Shear Zone having been drilled.
-
~43km long Yin Ironstone (REE): which already contains: an independent Resource of 20.06Mt @ 1.03% TREO (ASX 5 Jul 2023) over only ~4km of the ~43km of ironstones including an initial Indicated Resource of 5.52Mt @ 1.23% TREO over only ~250m of strike (ASX 5 Jul 2023).
-
~17km long Gifford Creek Carbonatites (Nb-REE-Ti-P-Sc): which contains a suite of critical minerals and an initial independent Inferred Resource of 10.84Mt @ 1.00% TREO at C3 (ASX 28 Aug 2023).
-
~1.2km fresh niobium mineralisation at the Stinger Zone of the Gifford Creek Carbonatite which remains open in all directions.

Gifford Creek Carbonatite (Nb)
-
As announced on 22 July 2024, the Gifford Creek Carbonatite has produced some of WA’s best niobium intercepts outside the Arunta Province.
-
As announced on 12 August 2024, the Company completed a 19-hole RC drilling program over the Gifford Creek Carbonatite, identifying strong niobium across multiple zones.
-
As announced on 19 August 2024, thick high-grade niobium intercepts were confirmed across three holes at the Stinger niobium prospect.
-
As announced on 20 September 2024, thick high-grade niobium intercepts were confirmed across a further two holes in the Stinger zone and a further 9 RC holes were drilled with assay results reported on 9 October 2024.
==> picture [499 x 386] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: Location of significant niobium mineralisation within the limited extent of drilling at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite.
With strong niobium identified across multiple zones, the Company sees the potential for Mangaroon to evolve as a multi-commodity critical metals hub with proximity to existing infrastructure.
Next steps at Stinger include assessment of oxide mineralisation and identifying the fresh rock source of the niobium.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Mangaroon Au, Nb-REE, Ni-Cu-PGE Project (100%)
Mangaroon covers ~5,300kms[2] and is located 250kms southeast of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. At Mangaroon, Dreadnought has consolidated areas of outcropping high-grade gold and historical high grade gold mines including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamond gold mines. Exploration at the Money Intrusion has identified high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides. In addition, Mangaroon has emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing, potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include:
-
An independent Resource for Yin Ironstones Complex of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO over only ~4.6kms – including a Measured and Indicated Resource of 26.3Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX 30 Nov 2023).
-
Discovery of the globally significant, Nb-REE-P-Ti-Sc enriched Gifford Creek Carbonatite (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).
Kimberley Ni-Cu-Au Project (80/100%)
==> picture [248 x 329] intentionally omitted <==
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 historical 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.
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, komatiite-hosted 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.
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.
