ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 31 July 2024

30 June 2024 Quarterly Activities Report

The Board of Dreadnought Resources Ltd (ASX:DRE) (“Dreadnought” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide a summary of activities for the quarter ended 30 June 2024.

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

During the quarter , the Company has:

  • Confirmed a Proterozoic pelitic-mafic Cu-Au volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) system at Tarraji Yampi . (ASX: 4 June 2024)

  • Confirmed shallow, high-grade gold and silver at Chicken Little at Central Yilgarn . (ASX: 23 May 2024)

  • Identified high-grade Cu- Au- Zn-Ag Gossans at Tiger at Mangaroon Au . (ASX: 18 June 2024)

  • Reached a major commercialisation milestone with a high quality MREC from the Yin monazite concentrate at Mangaroon Nb-REE . (ASX: 6 May 2024)

  • Identified strong niobium across multiple zones at Mangaroon Nb-REE . (ASX: 19 June 2024)

Subsequent to the quarter end , the Company has:

  • Identified four strong off-hole conductors from recent drilling at Tarraji Yampi. (ASX: 4 July 2024)

  • Commenced drilling at the Gifford Creek Nb-REE Carbonatite with a focus on extending known pyrochlore Nb mineralisation and to discover additional deposits. (ASX: 22 July 2024)

  • Developed a commercialisation strategy for gold which includes a strategic acquisition of ~300km[2] of highly prospective ground along the Mangaroon Shear Zone. Starting with the Star of Mangaroon, an open-pit conceptual model has been prepared which concludes that high-grade material can be hauled and processed through already installed facilities. Star of Mangaroon provides a template for advancing other prospects including Two Peaks, Pritchard Well and the Lead Gold Mines. This strategy allows the Company to focus on exploration and growth while “outsourcing” the cash-flow generating activities. (ASX: 26 July 2024)

The Company has a large portfolio of exploration assets and is actively seeking ways to generate value for shareholders.

Tarraji-Yampi is located entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area (“ YSTA ”), a Commonwealth Defence Reserve in the West Kimberley, ~80kms from the port of Derby. The YSTA is the second largest Defence Reserve in Australia after Woomera in South Australia and was off limits to mineral exploration from 1978 to 2013.

==> picture [348 x 413] intentionally omitted <==

A detailed review of Tarraji-Yampi was completed by a team including Paul Hilliard (ex-principal geologist at Sandfire Resources); consulting geologist Gerard Tripp; Rowena Duckworth (Mintex Petrological Solutions); Richard Lilly (Adelaide University); and Roger Taylor (RG Taylor Geological Services), Sam Hill and John Mavrogenes (Australia National University). Based on the EIS co-funded diamond core drilled in 2023, a Proterozoic pelitic-mafic Cu-Au volcanogenic massive sulphide (“ VMS ”) system has been confirmed at Tarraji-Yampi. Analogues are the DeGrussa and Monty VMS deposits in the Bryah Basin.

On 17 June 2024, the Company announced the commencement of Cu-Au Drilling supported by a drill for equity commitment with Topdrill Pty Ltd (“Topdrill”) for 50% of drilling costs up to $1m.

On 18 July 2024, the Company announced that four strong off-hole conductors were identified during the first phase of drilling with highlights including:

Figure 1: Plan view image showing the location of Cu-Au and VMS prospects over geological interpretation at Tarraji-Yampi.

  • A total of 6 diamond holes (1,524.8m) being completed at Tarraji-Yampi to test 6 Cu-Au VMS targets around the Orion deposit.

  • All holes were followed up by down hole EM (“DHEM”) to identify potential off-hole conductors.

  • All holes intersected variably mineralised pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite +/- sphalerite and galena horizons along prospective peperite contacts of Ruins Dolerite and Marboo Formation sediments.

  • Preliminary interpretation of DHEM surveys have identified 4 off-hole conductors associated with prospective horizons, including a 50,000S conductor spanning ~150m x 150m, located ~100m down dip of a 3.2m thick gossan intersected in KMDD004 and interpreted to be the structural offset of Orion.

The new Orion Offset target and off hole conductors at OR1 and OR2 are priority targets for follow up drilling, following assays and further review.

CENTRAL YILGARN (100%)

Central Yilgarn covers four greenstone belts within the highly prolific Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The project is located ~190kms northwest of Kalgoorlie and is adjacent to numerous large gold operations including Davyhurst (Ora Banda Mining), Marda (Ramelius Resources) and Mt Ida (Delta Lithium & Aurenne Group Mining).

As announced on 29 April 2024, a 13-hole (~1,800m) RC program was completed at Central Yilgarn, testing 4 targets: Viper, Leghorn, Chicken Little and Honey.

As announced on 23 May 2024, the Company has intersected anomalous gold mineralisation in all targets. Results have confirmed shallow, high-grade gold and silver particularly at Chicken Little, including:

  • CYRC012: 17m @ 4.1 g/t Au and 28.0 g/t Ag from 53m, incl:

  • 4m @ 14.9 g/t Au and 72.2 g/t Ag from 54m

The Yerilgee greenstone belt which contains Chicken Little, Megatron and Snowflake at the T6 camp scale prospect and the T8 and T11 camp scale prospects will be the focus of further work at Central Yilgarn in addition to any follow up work at Evanston and Illaara.

MANGAROON

Mangaroon covers over 5,300kms[2] of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Three separate projects are being pursued at Mangaroon:

  • Mangaroon Au (100%)

  • Mangaroon Nb-REE (100%)

  • Mangaroon Ni-Cu-Co-PGE (100%)

MANGAROON AU (100%)

Mangaroon hosts many historical alluvial and shallow hard rock mines, five of which are located on granted Mining Leases with minimal barriers to production. Dreadnought has developed a strategy to potentially commercialise these advanced prospects starting with the Star of Mangaroon which was the largest regional producer and is highgrade.

==> picture [366 x 344] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Plan view map of the location of recently acquired, subject to completion, tenements in relation to the wider prospective gold ground at Mangaroon showing historical mines and currently defined prospects.

As announced on 27 May 2024, sampling during detailed mapping of Tiger has confirmed high-grade Cu-Zn-Ag-Au in multiple stacked sub-cropping gossanous horizons over ~150m of strike.

Rock chip and surface geochemical pathfinders include a strong Bi-Cd-In-Mo-Sb-Se-Sn-Te correlation with the CuZn-Ag-Au. These results strongly support a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) system at Tiger, the first time such a system has been identified in this region.

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.

MANGAROON Nb-REE (100%)

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.

As announced on 6 May 2024, the Company reached a major commercialisation milestone with the monazite concentrate producing high quality MREC with ongoing optimisation expected to further improve on these results.

As announced on 6 June 2024, recent mineralogical work at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite confirmed that the dominant niobium mineral is pyrochlore, which is a high niobium mineral (>50%) from which ~95% of global niobium is produced. This is significant in relation to commercialisation of the Gifford Creek Carbonatite.

Figure 4: SEM images from the Yin Ironstones showing pyrochlore (light grey) in fresh ironstones (L) from YINRC436 and coarse baotite (labeled “bao”) in weathered ironstone (R) from YINRC292.

As announced on 19 June 2024, the upcoming RC drilling program was extended for Nb-REE and as announced on 22 July 2024, RC drilling commenced at the Gifford Creek Nb-REE Carbonatite with a focus on extending known pyrochlore Nb mineralisation and to discover additional deposits.

  • 13 RC holes (~1,300m) will test geophysical zones of deeper weathering or different phases of the carbonatite. With <25% of the 17km long Gifford Creek Carbonatite tested by wide spaced drilling to date, these 13 holes are targeting new discoveries.

  • 5 RC holes (~700m) are targeting extensions where previous 320 x 160m spaced holes intersected thick intervals of pyrochlore Nb mineralisation. This drilling will also provide material for mineralogical and metallurgical characterisation.

  • Wide spaced drilling over <25% of the ~17km long Gifford Creek Carbonatite has already identified 4 zones of mineralisation containing rare earths, niobium, scandium, phosphorus and titanium. This makes for a potential multi-critical mineral mix of co-products located within a Tier 1 jurisdiction, close to existing infrastructure.

This program is supported by a GSWA Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) grant to co-fund RC drilling of Gifford

Creek and a drill-for-equity agreement with Topdrill.

With strong niobium identified across multiple zones, we see the potential for Mangaroon to evolve as a multicommodity critical metals hub within close proximity to existing infrastructure with mutual benefit to pastoralists, existing ports and neighboring projects.

MANGAROON Ni-Cu-Co-PGE (100%)

  • Mangaroon hosts the fertile Ni-Cu-Co-PGE along the >45km long Money Intrusion.

  • An IP survey has confirmed the geophysical signatures of a significant new mineralised system.

  • We are continuing partnership discussions whilst undertaking a project review to highlight the highest priority work programs.

BRESNAHAN U, HREE, Au-Ag-Sb (100%)

  • Bresnahan is a conceptual unconformity heavy rare earth element (“HREE”) project containing >3,700kms[2] of prospective ground.

  • Assays from reconnaissance surface sampling have confirmed unconformity HREE mineralisation, similar to the Browns Range project.

  • We are currently exploring partnership or divestment opportunities to unlock the HREE potential.

APPENDIX 5B DISCLOSURES

The accompanying Appendix 5B (Quarterly Cashflow Report) shows Directors’ remuneration (including superannuation) of $118k (Item 6.1) and $46k (Item 6.2), the amounts apportioned between corporate and exploration.

During the period, the Company spent $1.6m on exploration and study activities. The expenditure represents direct costs associated with the various studies, surveys, drilling programs and associated assays outlined in this report.

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.

==> picture [217 x 289] intentionally omitted <==

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

Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au VMS and epithermal system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to Degrussa and Thaduna/Green Dragon.

Mangaroon Au, Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE & REEs 100% Project

Mangaroon covers ~5,300kms[2] and is located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. At the Money Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE has been identified. Dreadnought also has areas of outcropping high-grade gold including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamonds 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 ~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).

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 and channel-hosted 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.
