DRILLING COMMENCED AT LONGMORE’S FIND AND METZKE’S FIND

HIGHLIGHTS

  • RC drilling has recommenced at Longmore’s Find within the >10km long Metzke’s Corridor

  • RC drilling will then move to Metzke’s Find and to south and south-west of Metzke’s Find

  • Diamond drilling to test Metzke’s Find at depth commencing mid-November 2020

  • Soil sampling around Lawrence’s Find, Central Illaara and regionally commencing late November 2020

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at Longmore’s Find, located within the >10km long Metzke’s Corridor, part of the Illaara Gold-VMS-Iron Ore Project. This drilling program is looking to extend mineralisation at Longmore’s Find where previous drilling intersected 1m @ 100g/t Au from 57m. After Longmore’s Find, RC and diamond drilling will commence at Metzke’s Find to extend mineralisation at depth where previous drilling intersected:

  • MZRC017: 7m @ 7.5 g/t Au from 51m

  • MZRC019: 2m @ 39.2 g/t Au from 45m

  • MZRC016: 3m @ 21.0 g/t Au from 85m

  • MZRC022: 2m @ 20.7 g/t Au from 19m

Along the Metzke’s Corridor, first pass RC fence line drilling will be undertaken at priority gold-in-soil anomalies to the south and southwest of Metzke’s Find to identify additional high-grade lodes.

Work will also be advanced to define drill targets at Lawrence’s Find and Central Illaara. Illaara’s previous owner Newmont identified three ~10kms long orogenic gold anomalies at Illaara being Metzke’s Find, Lawrence’s Find and Central Illaara. Metzke’s Find is only the first of these anomalies to be drilled. Drill target generation work has not yet commenced at Lawrence’s Find where historical workings were developed on sugary high-grade quartz sulphide veins in mafic rocks, identical to Metzke’s Find.

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ We are excited to recommence drilling at Illaara including our first diamond drilling at Illaara. This program will look to extend the high grade lodes at Metzke’s Find and Longmore’s Find. We will also be testing two attractive targets along the Metzke’s Corridor. In addition, we expect extensive soil sampling across Lawrence’s Find and Central Illaara to generate new targets for testing in 2021. To date, Dreadnought has only completed target

generation work over 25% of Newmont’s orogenic gold anomalies. We are expecting to fill our pipeline with further high quality drill targets. It will be a busy end to 2020 with plenty of upcoming news flow.”

Program at Longmore’s Find (E29/957: 100%)

Drilling at Longmore’s Find will focus the high-grade lode intersected in LMRC005: 1m @ 100g/t Au from 56m. RC drilling (18 holes, 1,400m) will step out and follow the lode up to the surface, down to 100m vertical depth and 60m along strike. In addition, a hole will be drilled under the peak soil anomaly to the south-east and uphill from LMRC005. A diamond hole (1 hole for 60m) will also be drilled to twin LMRC005, to assist in determining the structural orientation of the lode.

Program at Metzke’s Find (E29/1050, E29/959: 100%)

RC drilling at Metzke’s Find will focus on redrilling the area to the north (6 holes, 760m) testing the lode offset position potentially adding 80m of shallow, high-grade strike extent. Three diamond twin holes (~240m) will also be drilled to assist in determining the structural orientation of Metzke’s Find ahead of following the lode to a depth of 200m (6 diamond holes with RC precollars, ~700m).

RC drilling will also test the ~1.2km long southern extension of Metzke’s Find as recently refined by infill soil sampling (21 holes, 1,680m). A ~1.5km long splay to the south-west of Metzke’s Find will also be drilled (21 holes, 1,680m).

Ongoing Activities at Illaara (E29/957, E29/959, E29/1050: 100%)

Illaara’s previous owner Newmont identified three ~10kms long orogenic gold anomalies at Illaara being Metzke’s Find, Lawrence’s Find and Central Illaara. Dreadnought defined drill targets at these anomalies through ultrafine fraction soil geochemistry. Importantly, Metzke’s Find is only the first anomaly to be drilled. Drill target generation work is planned to commence at Lawrence’s Find where historical workings were developed on sugary high-grade quartz sulphide veins in mafic rocks, identical to Metzke’s Find. Located ~45kms south of Metzke’s Find, Lawrence’s Find is potentially another multiple deposit camp at Illaara.

First pass, ultrafine soil sampling (at 400x50m) will commence in November 2020 to define drill targets at Lawrence’s Find by March 2021. Targets defined at Lawrence’s Find will be drilled along with targets along the Metzke’s Corridor including Black Oak and Bald Hill commencing in January 2021.

In addition to the ultrafine soil sampling around Lawrence’s Find, a first pass regional soils program (at 800x50m or 400x50m) will be undertaken across Illaara covering all the Newmont orogenic gold anomalies and prospective centres along the VMS horizons. Results are expected in January 2021.

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. The area was only recently opened under the Commonwealth Government’s co-existence regime that balances Defence’s needs with the requirements of others including Aboriginal groups, the resources industry, pastoralists and State Governments.

Tarraji-Yampi presents a rare first mover opportunity with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900s which have seen no modern exploration.

Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji-

==> picture [236 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Yampi including: volcanogenic massive sulphide (“ VMS ”); Proterozoic Cu-Au (“ IOCG ”); and magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE. Numerous high priority nickel, copper and gold drill targets have been identified from recent VTEM surveys, historical drilling and surface sampling of outcropping mineralisation.

Illaara Gold, VMS & Iron Ore Project

Illaara is located 190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton and covers 75kms of strike along the Illaara Greenstone Belt. Illaara is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and base metals VMS mineralisation.

Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont. Newmont defined several camp-scale targets which were undrilled due to a change in corporate focus. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and has seen minimal gold and base metal exploration since the 1990s. Illaara contains several drill ready gold targets. In addition, the Eastern and Western VMS Horizons are expected to produce exciting drill targets with the application of modern exploration technology.

Rocky Dam Gold & VMS Project

Rocky Dam is located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. Rocky Dam is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation. Rocky Dam has known gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets including the recently defined CRA-North Gold Prospect.
