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.

Ongoing and Upcoming Work Programs at Mangaroon:

Ongoing: Mapping and rock chipping along the Money Intrusion for Ni-Cu-PGE target generation Commenced: Project wide multi-element stream sediment sampling

Commenced: Petrological and mineralogical analysis of rocks from Yin Commenced: Detailed airborne magnetic-radiometric survey over REE ironstones

October: Fixed Loop EM Surveys along the Money Intrusion for Ni-Cu-PGE target definition November: Ground truthing and rock chip sampling additional REE and gold occurrences

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.

assessed and reported if material.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

All geochemical samples were collected,
bagged, and sealed by Dreadnought staff and
delivered to Norex General Transport in
Exmouth.

Samples were delivered directly to ALS
Laboratories Perth by Norex General Transport
out of Exmouth.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
The program is continuously reviewed by senior
company personnel.

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:

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:
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 used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

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.
