ADDITIONAL IRONSTONES AND CARBONATITES EXPANDED - MANGAROON (100%)
HIGHLIGHTS
-
The Yin Ironstone Complex is comprised of 43kms of REE mineralised ironstones which includes: • 3kms containing a JORC Mineral Resource (“Resource”) of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (ASX 28 Dec 2022); and • 40kms containing a JORC Exploration Target (“Exploration Target”) of 50-100Mt at 0.9-1.3% TREO and a
-
grade range of 1.13% TREO +/- 20% (ASX 13 Feb 2023).
-
RC drilling is focussing on first pass drilling over ~16km of the Exploration Target and over the C1-C6 carbonatites, and has confirmed:
-
A thick and shallowly dipping mineralised ironstone at Y2 and over ~3kms of mineralisation along strike of the Yin Resource.
-
Mineralised carbonatites continue >800m beyond the original C1-C5 interpretation at the C5 extension.
-
Thick mineralisation continues from follow-up drilling at the C3 carbonatite.
-
A complex mafic-ultramafic intrusive suite at C6 with potential similarities to the Palabora Ultramafic– Carbonatite Complex (South Africa), or alternatively, could be related to the Money Intrusion and has potential for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE style mineralisation. First pass drilling is to continue.
-
First pass drilling will finish as planned in June 2023, following which infill drilling will commence on Y2 and other mineralised ironstones and mineralised carbonatites targeting Resource growth.
-
Results from the 2023 drilling are expected to start flowing from late May 2023.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling at the Yin Ironstone Complex and the C1-C6 carbonatites, part of the 100% owned Mangaroon project, located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.
Wide spaced, first pass, RC drilling is testing the Yin Exploration Target. Drilling to date (122 holes for 14,766m) has confirmed shallow dipping ironstone mineralisation at Y2 in addition to the ~3kms of mineralisation along strike of the Yin Resource. Mineralisation has been confirmed by portable XRF (“ pXRF ”) with assays expected in the June 2023 quarter. Resource upgrades will be made in June 2023 and in the December 2023 quarter.
==> picture [150 x 202] intentionally omitted <==
With three rigs turning, two rigs are doing first pass drilling over the Yin Exploration Target and on the carbonatites and the diamond rig producing samples for metallurgical test work and QAQC analysis. This drilling will be completed in June 2023 and will be followed by Resource drilling.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Drilling continues across multiple fronts targeting Resource growth south of Yin, discovery drilling at Y2 and confirming the >800m extension to the C5 carbonatite. In addition, encouraging observations from the C6 carbonatite support either a Palabora style opportunity, or perhaps Ni-Cu-PGEs with drilling ongoing. With first pass drilling expected to be completed in June 2023, we remain on track for multiple Resource updates this year.”

SNAPSHOT - MANGAROON RARE EARTHS
Mangaroon is 100% Owned by Dreadnought
Genuine Scale Potential Already at Yin Ironstone Complex
-
Initial independent Yin Inferred Resource of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (ASX 28 Dec 2022 ) covers only 3km of 43km of strike and is based on only 2.5 months of RC drilling (12,255m).
-
40km long Exploration Target of 50-100Mt at 0.9-1.3% TREO estimated for the top 150m of the Yin Ironstone Complex (ASX 13 Feb 2023) .
-
First tranche of long-term incentives now triggered with balance on track to be triggered at JORC Resource of at least 30Mt @ >1% TREO by 31 December 2024.
-
Resource extension and first pass wide spaced drilling currently underway.
- Significant, Step Change, Growth Potential Beyond Yin Ironstone Complex
-
C1-C7 carbonatites are shaping up as the regional source of REE – initial drill program expands C1-C5 to ~6.5kms in strike length x 1km wide.
-
C6 located ~25kms south of C1-5 and C7 is situated over a crustal scale structural splay off the Lyons River Fault, is associated with an outcropping pyroxenite intrusion, and has a geophysical similarity to other globally significant carbonatites such as Mt Weld, Araxa, Palabora and Ngualla.
-
First pass, wide spaced discovery focused drilling has recommenced at C1-7.
- - High grade, Multi Metal Potential Including REE (Neodymium, Praseodymium), Phosphorus, Niobium, Titanium & Scandium (REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc)
-
The mineralisation at the Yin Ironstone Complex contains significantly higher NdPr as a fraction of the rare earth oxides (“ NdPr:TREO “ ratio) than most other REE deposits globally, over 50% higher than the global average.
-
Partially completed, first pass, wide spaced drilling over the C1-C7 carbonatites has identified significant critical metal potential with REE, P2O5, Nb2O5, TiO2, and Sc within the C1-C5 carbonatites.
-
A ~600m x 550m zone of REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc mineralisation now confirmed at the C3 discovery.
Potentially Attractive Mining Proposition
- Broad zones of flat to moderate dipping mineralisation with parallel lodes and Resource intensity of ~4.8Mt/km make for a potentially attractive mining proposition.
Positive Metallurgy Results
-
Initial metallurgical test work from Yin performed well, achieving a recovery of 92.8% at a concentrate grade of 12.3% Nd2O3 and an average 40% TREO.
-
REE at Yin is predominantly hosted in monazite which is amenable to commercial processing.
-
Significant metallurgical study from 16 diamond holes drilled at Yin underway – results expected May 2023.
Global Strategic Imperative Driving Rare Earth Growth & Prices
-
Supply chain security and low carbon transition are imperatives against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tension.
-
Dreadnought is receiving increasing levels of interest from mid/downstream industry participants. While the current focus is on upstream options (mining, milling, and concentrating), opportunities for mid/downstream industry participants to add value to Dreadnought shareholders will be assessed.

RC Drill Program Yin Ironstone Complex (YINRC130-YINRC213)
To date, 84 holes for 10,371m have been drilled in testing portions of the 40km long ironstone Exploration Target and extending the Yin Resource to the south. As a result of the success of this program, infill RC drilling is planned in order to grow Resources at Y2 and ~3km along strike of the current Yin Resource.
The current program is over areas that are largely devoid of outcrop and has relied on geophysical interpretations of the ironstone trends undercover. The program has been successful in confirming mineralisation undercover. Mineralisation at Yin has been extended to the south by ~1km and for ~2kms to the north of the current Resource where three new ironstone lodes have been confirmed in areas where NdPr ratios increase. Additionally, the recently confirmed shallowly dipping Y2 ironstone is expected to grow Resources.
Drilling of the ironstones continues to show that the main lode pinches, swells and changes dip and orientation along strike and ranges in thickness from 1-54m. In addition, parallel lodes have been intersected above and below the main lode and often exhibit a similar orientation as the main lode with thicknesses ranging from 1-10m.
The mineralised ironstones consist of goethite and hematite dominated oxide zones near the surface (top ~80m) transitioning into a fresh ferrocarbonatite dyke (fresh REE ironstone), comprised of ankerite and siderite below the base of oxidation. The ironstones are surrounded by a variable zone of fenitised country rock. Both the ironstone and the fenite immediately surrounding the ironstone are mineralised with each ironstone and ferrocarbonatite containing at least one central interval of higher-grade mineralisation. Oxidised mineralisation contains REE bearing phosphate monazite and variable amounts of the hydrated REE phosphate rhabdophane. Fresh ferrocarbonatite mineralisation contains monazite and variable amounts of REE fluoro-carbonates such as bastnaesite.
First pass, 400m x 40m wide spaced drilling along 16kms of the Yin Exploration Target will be completed in June 2023 at which time infill Resource drilling will commence.

RC Drill Program REE-P-Nb-Ti-Sc Carbonatites (CRBRC090-CRBRC127)
Carbonatite intrusions are known globally to host several different commodities including rare earths, niobium, titanium, phosphate and scandium often as different mineralised bodies within the same intrusion. Great examples of this include Mt Weld in Australia, Ngualla in Tanzania, Bayan Obo in China, Palabora in South Africa and Araxa in Brazil. We also know that a world class deposit like Mountain Pass in California can fit into a relatively small footprint (700m x 150m).
Since the C1-C7 carbonatites have minimal outcrop, a first-pass RC drilling program (~280 RC holes for ~20,000m) has been designed, of which 87 holes for 8,332m have been drilled, on a ~160m x 160m grid to drill through cover and into fresh rock. The objective of this program is to confirm the extent and complexity of the interpreted carbonatite intrusions, define zones of mineralisation and to better understand the cover regolith and depth of weathering.
Drilling to date has confirmed the C1-5 carbonatites are larger than initially interpreted from magnetic data with preparations for additional systematic wide spaced drill testing underway. The C5 extensional drilling has intersected thin cover and thick saprolite development with residual supergene enrichment overlying magnesio to ferrocarbonatite intrusives, similar to that previously seen at C1-C5. Drilling has already confirmed the C5 carbonatite extends >800m past the original interpretation and remains open to the southeast where further drilling is planned.
Additionally, follow up drilling at C3 continues to intersect thick mineralisation.
==> picture [378 x 401] intentionally omitted <==
First pass drilling at C6 to date consists of two wide spaced drill lines across the 4km x 3km anomaly (17 holes for 1,443m). This drilling has confirmed a multiphase mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex, eg Palabora UltramaficCarbonatite Complex (South Africa), or alternatively, could be related to the Money Intrusion and has potential for magmatic NiCu-PGE style mineralisation. Drilling at C6 will be ongoing.

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-Au-Ag-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 JV & REE Au 100% Project
Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~5,300 kms located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the vastly underexplored Gascoyne Region of WA. Part of the project is targeting Ni-Cu-PGE and is subject to a joint venture with First Quantum Minerals (earning up to 70%). The joint venture area
==> picture [217 x 288] intentionally omitted <==
contains outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides at the Money Intrusion. Dreadnought’s 100% owned areas contain outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamond’s gold mines, along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones and seven carbonatite intrusions which may be the source of the regions rare earth mineralisation.
Dreadnought has delivered an initial JORC Inferred Resource over just 3kms Yin REE Ironstone Complex delivering 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (30% NdPr:TREO Ratio) (ASX 28 Dec 2022 ) with an additional 40 strike kilometres still to be tested.
Bresnahan HREE and Au Project
Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises ~3,700 sq kms 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 and mesothermal lode gold similar to Paulsen’s Au-Ag-Sb deposits along strike.
Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Bresnahan Basin had only been explored for unconformity uranium with limited exploration for mesothermal gold. Bresnahan is a first mover opportunity to explore for unconformity HREE.
Central Yilgarn Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & Iron Ore Project
Central Yilgarn is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~1,600 sq kms covering ~150km of strike along the majority of the Illaara, Yerilgee 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-Caesium-Tantalum.
Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Central Yilgarn was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT TEMPLATE SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
(CRITERIA IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO ALL SUCCEEDING SECTIONS.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce samples for assaying. Laboratory Analysis A pXRF is used on site to determine mineralised samples. Mineralised intervals have the 1m split collected, while unmineralised samples are not sampled. Samples submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site geologist with the assistance of the pXRF. 1m Splits From every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from each metre of drilling. All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of Rare Earth Oxides and additional elements by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-XRF30). Some samples are also submitted for 48 multi- elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61) to assist with lithological interpretation and waste rock characterisation. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
RC Drilling Ausdrill undertook the program utilising a Drill Rigs Australia truck mounted Schramm T685WS drill rig with additional air from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit size was 5¾”. |
|
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
RC Drilling Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practice’ approach to achieve maximum sample recovery and quality through the mineralised zones. Best practice sampling procedure included: suitable usage of dust suppression, suitable shroud, lifting off bottom between each metre, cleaning of sampling equipment, ensuring a dry sample and suitable supervision by the supervising geologist to ensure good sample quality. At this stage, no known bias occurs between sample recovery and grade. |
|
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging isqualitative orquantitative |
RC chips were logged by a qualified geologist under supervision of a senior geologist with sufficient experience in this geological terrane and relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry standard logging system which could eventually be |

utilised within a Mineral Resource Estimation. Lithology, mineralisation, alteration, veining, weathering and texture were all recorded digitally. Chips were washed each metre and stored in chip trays for preservation and future reference. RC pulp material is also analysed on the rig by pXRF and magnetic susceptibility meter to assist with logging and the identification of mineralisation. Logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi- quantitative in nature. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
RC Drilling From every metre drilled, a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter. QAQC in the form of duplicates and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) were inserted through the ore zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within mineralised zones, a duplicate sample was taken and a blank inserted directly after. 2-3kg samples are submitted to ALS laboratories (Perth), oven dried to 105°C and pulverised to 85% passing 75um to produce a 0.66g charge for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-XRF30) and to produce a 0.25g charge for determination of 48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61). Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Laboratory Analysis Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest and Method ME-XRF30 is appropriate for REE determination. Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored by the laboratory and by the company upon assay result receival. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
Logging and Sampling Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite database. Significant intersections are inspected by senior company personnel. No twinned holes have been reported at this time. No adjustments to anyassaydata have been |

| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Collar position was recorded using a Emlid Reach RS2 RTK GPS system (+/- 0.2m x/y, +/-0.5m z). GDA94 Z50s is the grid format for all xyz data reported. Azimuth and dip of the drill hole was recorded after the completion of the hole using a Reflex Sprint IQ Gyro. A reading was undertaken every 30thmetre with an accuracy of +/- 1° azimuth and +/-0.3° dip. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
See tables for hole positions and sampling information. Data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity for a Mineral Resource estimation procedure at the inferred classification. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular angle to the interpreted strike and dip of the ironstone outcrops and modelled magnetic data. No sample bias is known at this time. |
|
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
All geochemical samples were collected, bagged, and sealed by Dreadnought staff and delivered to Exmouth Haulage in Exmouth or Jarrahbar Contracting in Carnarvon. Samples were delivered directly to ALS Laboratories Perth by Exmouth Haulage out of Exmouth or Jarrahbar Contracting out of Carnarvon. |

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. |
|||
| 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. |
Mineralised intervals as confirmed by an infield preliminary pXRF analysis with >2m @ >0.2% TREO have been reported. Significant intercepts are length weight averaged for all samples with TREO values >0.2% TREO with up to 3m of internal dilution (<0.2% TREO). No metal equivalents are reported. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • 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’). |
Drilling is undertaken close to perpendicular to the dip and strike of the mineralisation. |
|
| 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 |
