EXPLORATION UPDATE AND FURTHER CONSOLIDATION - MANGAROON PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Ground based electromagnetic (“EM”) survey designed to highlight Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphides commenced over ~12km strike of the Money Intrusion – fully funded by First Quantum Minerals (“FQM”) with results expected by December 2021.
-
Acquisition of the historical Diamond’s Gold Mine. The mine was discovered in 1979 and has never been drilled – presents a high-grade gold opportunity in addition to Cullen’s Find to be drilled in March 2022 quarter.
-
Airborne magnetic–radiometric survey targeting Rare Earth Element (“REE”) ironstones and the Cullen’s Find trend is ~50% complete with results due in November 2021.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration work at the Mangaroon Project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.
Work is progressing on multiple fronts as Dreadnought advances target definition and generation work on the 100% owned REEs and gold. In addition, Ni-Cu-PGE target definition EM surveys have commenced over the Money Intrusion.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Whilst our focus has been on drilling programs at Tarraji-Yampi, we have continued to advance and consolidate Mangaroon in the background. The acquisition of the Diamond’s Gold Mine consolidates our ground position along the Cullen’s find trend. Importantly, all work remains on schedule to deliver a maiden drill program targeting Ni-Cu-PGEs, rare earths and gold in the March 2022 quarter. We look forward to receiving the results of the ground EM and airborne magnetic-radiometric surveys in the meantime.”

Ground EM Surveys (E08/3274, E09/2384: Option with FQM)
Airborne magnetics, geological mapping and surface sampling have been completed over the entire 45km strike of the Money Intrusion. This work has identified a core ~12kms stretch of the intrusion which contains large, high tenor, blebby, three phase sulphides comprised of pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite. Within this priority zone, outcropping gossanous horizons after remobilised Ni-CuPGE sulphides have been identified at Bookathanna and Lumpy’s Find (see Figure 2) with peak rock chips values of 1.0% Cu, 0.8% Ni and 0.8 g/t Pd+Pt.
A 12km long ground EM survey, comprised of fixed loop and moving loop EM, has commenced over the priority zone and is expected to be completed by mid-December 2021. This survey is designed to identify conductive massive sulphide targets associated with the outcropping mineralisation within the Money Intrusion.
Results are expected throughout December 2021 with drilling expected to commence in March 2022.

Diamond’s Gold Mine Acquisition (E09/2359: 100% DRE)
Dreadnought has entered into an agreement to acquire the Diamond’s Gold Mine from an unrelated party (Prager Pty Ltd). The Diamond’s Gold Mine was discovered by pastoralist Alan McDonald in 1979[1] . Alan McDonald was the station owner at Mangaroon and is responsible for identifying and often mining, several gold and base metal occurrences at Mangaroon. The Diamond’s Gold Mine comprises two shafts sunk on mineralised veins running 1-10m wide and 20-200m long[2] . Historical records indicate that the mine produced at ~1oz per tonne of gold when put through the Meekatharra State Battery[1] .
Importantly, asides from historical production, there has been no exploration of the Diamond’s Gold Mine and it has never been drilled.
The Diamond’s Gold Mine presents another outcropping, high grade opportunity at the Mangaroon Project and compliments the Cullen’s Find gold occurrence located ~25kms along strike within the same mineralised corridor. Approvals and additional target definition work will be undertaken at Diamond’s and Cullen’s Find, with drilling to commence in March 2022.
Terms of the transaction:
-
Dreadnought to be 100% owner of the E09/2359
-
$30k Cash (being reimbursement of tenement application costs)
-
750,000 DRE shares (~$30k @ $0.038)
-
1% Gross Revenue Royalty

Airborne Magnetic–Radiometric Survey (E09/2370, E09/2448, E09/2449, E09/2450, E09/2535: 100% DRE)
The detailed survey will be flown with 50m line spacing at a low altitude and will be a significant improvement on the existing public data flown at 500m line spacing in the 1990s. The survey data is expected to highlight additional REE anomalies and to allow for mapping under shallow cover to trace the ironstones. In addition, structural gold targets are also expected to be identified. The survey is ~50% complete with results due in November 2021 and will assist in designing drill programs to commence in the March 2022 quarter.

Background on Mangaroon (E08/3274, E8/3178, E09/2384, E09/2433, E09/2473: Option with FQM) (E08/3275, E09/2370, E09/2448, E09/2449, E09/2450, E09/2467, E09/2478: 100%)
Mangaroon covers >4,500 sq. kms of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The region is host to high-grade gold mineralisation at the Bangemall/Cobra and Star of Mangaroon gold mining centres and the high-grade Yangibana REE deposits. During most of the region’s early history, there was no government support for prospecting and or exploration resulting in a vastly underexplored region in Western Australia.
Dreadnought has located outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults, outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides in the recently defined Money Intrusion and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under development at Yangibana.

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-AuAg-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, REE & Au Project
==> picture [256 x 351] intentionally omitted <==
Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,500sq kms of tenure located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. During the region’s early history, there was limited government support for exploration resulting in the region being vastly underexplored.
Since acquiring the project in late 2020, Dreadnought has located: outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults; outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides in the recently defined Money Intrusion; and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under development at the Yangibana REE Project.
Illaara Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & 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, VMS base metals and critical metals including Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum.
Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore.

| 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 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 gold, magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation and Ferrocarbonatite hosted 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: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole 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 used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No drilling undertaken |
| Relationship between |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |

| mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• 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’). |
|
| 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; 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. |
• Additional mapping, surface sampling followed by EM surveys • Environmental and Heritage Surveys • Drilling |
