Emerging VMS Camp around the Chianti VMS Prospect
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Learnings from recent successful diamond drilling program at the Chianti VMS prospect generate numerous VMS targets along interpreted VMS horizon.
-
Outcropping copper gossans found associated with intense VTEM and Magnetic anomalies at new Rufina North and Rufina South targets.
-
Field season being fully utilised with surface geochemistry, ground magnetics, Chianti down hole EM and Rufina FLEM surveys currently underway.
-
Drilling is currently ongoing at the first drill hole at the Grants Cu-Au Target.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has identified and ranked a number of new VMS targets (Figure 1) within an interpreted VMS corridor ~800m north west of the Chianti VMS prospect. The high priority Rufina North and Rufina South targets contain outcropping gossans which have been sampled (Figure 2).

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented “Dreadnought has moved quickly to apply the learnings from our successful drilling at the Chianti VMS prospect. VMS deposits tend to occur in camps or clusters. Confirmation of another outcropping copper rich gossan associated with an intense magnetic and VTEM anomaly within the recently interpreted VMS exhalative horizon is highly encouraging and exciting. We look forward to proving up the potential for an emerging VMS camp.”

Geological and Geophysical Interpretation
The recent successful diamond drilling program at the Chianti VMS prospect confirmed VMS mineralisation in the both the upper and lower EM plates. A down hole EM crew has now been mobilised and drill core has been dispatched for analysis with results expected in the next 4-6 weeks. This successful program confirmed both the VMS style of mineralisation and the approach on how to target massive sulphide bodies within the area. Key learnings include:
-
The massive sulphide mineralisation is comprised of significant amounts of highly magnetic pyrrhotite.
-
The VMS exhalative horizon is expressed as a sulphide rich black shale.
-
The VMS exhalative horizon is located between turbiditic sediments and a dominantly mafic to bi-modal volcanic sequence.
In order to maximise our use of the available field season, we have sought to apply these learnings to the broader area around the Chianti VMS prospect. Accordingly, we have reviewed the detailed 1972 ACM geological mapping in conjunction with the more recent VTEM and associated magnetic data. This has resulted in a basic lithostructural interpretation in order to highlight important geophysical anomalies (Figure 1).
From this interpretation, two priority VMS targets, Rufina North and Rufina South, were immediately identified. Both targets are characterised by strong VTEM and coincident magnetic anomalies within

the interpreted VMS corridor. Ground truthing of these targets confirmed outcropping copper rich gossans located within target horizon black shales (Figure 2). A number of other potential VMS targets have been identified and prioritised according to their magnetic and VTEM signature within the interpreted VMS horizon and the occurrence of coincident mineralised gossan.
Both of these targets are currently subject to a surface geochemical and ground gravity survey. Targeted fixed loop electro magnetic (“ FLEM ”) and ground magnetics surveys are also planned in conjunction with the down hole EM surveys at Chianti.
Upcoming Results
Diamond core from the drill holes at the Chianti VMS Target has been dispatched to the laboratory in Perth with assay results expected late November 2019.
The Chianti down hole EM survey will commence in October 2019 and the Rufina FLEM survey will be conducted in early November 2019.
Surface geochemical sampling is ongoing at and around Chianti with results expected in December 2019.
These activities will produce further high-quality drill targets for the 2020 field season.
Drilling is currently ongoing at the first drill hole at the Grants Cu-Au Target.

Background on the Chianti Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag VMS Prospect
Chianti was originally defined by Australian Consolidated Minerals (“ ACM ”) in 1972. An airborne electro magnetic (“ VTEM ”) survey flown in 2015 highlighted a conductor beneath the 1972 ACM drilling. Earlier in 2019, Dreadnought carried out a ground fixed loop electro magnetic (“ FLEM ”) survey which was completed over ~20% of the VTEM conductor and identified two strong EM plates.
==> picture [295 x 296] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [295 x 287] intentionally omitted <==
The upper EM plate (EM Plate 1) is roughly 100m x 40m with a moderate to high conductivity of 900 siemens. The top of this EM plate is ~25m below the surface and lines up with the historical ACM drill intercepts (see Figure 3).
The lower EM plate (EM Plate 2) is roughly 160m x 80m with a high conductivity of 2,050 siemens and appears to be fault offset in section view extending to a depth of ~150m (See Figures 7 and 8).
Both EM plates are associated with outcropping gossans and drilling of both plates resulted in intersecting massive sulphide mineralisation.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project
Dreadnought controls a significant land holding in the highly prospective West Kimberley located only 85 kms from Derby, Western Australia. The project area has been locked up as a Defence reserve since 1978 and was only recently opened under the Commonwealth Government’s coexistence regime that balances Defence needs with the requirements of others including Aboriginal groups, the resources industry, pastoralists and State Governments.
The Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project presents a rare first mover opportunity in Western Australia with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900s which have seen no modern exploration.
==> picture [204 x 279] intentionally omitted <==
Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji 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 Au-Cu-Zn Project:
The Illaara Au-Cu-Pb-Zn Project is located 160km northwest of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the world class Yilgarn Craton and covers 75 strike kilometres of the Illaara Greenstone Belt. The Project is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation.
The project was acquired from Newmont Goldcorp who defined several camp-scale targets which were undrilled due to a change in corporate focus. Prior to Newmont Goldcorp, the Illaara greenstone belt was held predominantly by iron ore explorers and has seen minimal gold and base metal exploration since the 1990s. The project contains several drill ready gold targets and known VMS horizons which could produce exciting drill targets with the efficient and effective application of modern exploration technology.
Rocky Dam Au-Cu-Zn Project:
The Rocky Dam Au Project is located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the world class Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. The Project is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation.
The project has known gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets based on 1990s mineralised gold intercepts which have not been followed up.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
JORC TABLE 1
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. |
Current Exploration • No sampling reported Historical Exploration • WMC completed diamond drilling at Yampi in the 1950s. The drilling intersected copper mineralisation, but sampling techniques are not known. • ACM completed percussion and diamond drilling at Chianti in the 1970s.
