HIGH GRADE CU-AU ROCK CHIP RESULTS FROM THE GRANTS IOCG TARGET AT TARRAJI
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Extensive high-grade rock chip results up to 27% Cu and 2g/t Au at the Grants Target
-
Confirmation of a Cu-Au-Ag-Bi-Co (As-Mo-Sb) geochemical signature similar to the Tennant Creek and Mt Isa (Cloncurry) Mineral Districts
-
Geochemical data supports the potential of the Tarraji-Yampi Project to be an emerging, unexplored Proterozoic Cu-Au (IOCG) District
-
Drilling approvals well advanced with drilling to commence in September 2019 quarter
Dreadnought Resources Ltd (“Dreadnought” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results of surface rock chip sampling at the Grant’s Find (“Grants”) Target at the Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project (“Tarraji” or “the Project”) in the West Kimberley Region of Western Australia. Sampling has confirmed that the Grants Target contains significant gold mineralisation as well as a Ag-Bi-Co (AsMo-Sb) association which is diagnostic of Proterozoic Cu-Au (IOCG) mineralisation (see Figure 2, 3 and Table 1).
Significant rock chip results include:
GR19: 3.2% Cu, 1.2g/t Au. 1.0g/t Ag GR23: 21.7% Cu, 0.3g/t Au, 2.3g/t Ag GR25: 27.3% Cu, 0.6g/t Au, 1.6g/t Ag
GR36 : 14.3% Cu, 0.8g/t Au, 2.2g/t Ag GR40: 0.9% Cu, 1.5g/t Au, 1.3g/t Ag GR45: 0.2% Cu, 2.0g/t Au, 0.4g/t Ag

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented “Confirming the Cu-Au-Ag-Bi-Co (As-MoSb) metal association highlights the potential of this project to be a new province for Proterozoic Cu-Au (IOCG) deposits. Further, by confirming that the outcropping lode contains significant Au, Bi and Co in addition to the Cu, is exciting as historical drilling has already confirmed the lode at a depth of 100m. The historical drilling was only assayed for Cu. Along with Chianti and Texas, Grants rounds out our top three high priority drill targets and we are looking forward to drill testing these targets in the September 2019 quarter.”

Background on the Grants Target
Initially identified and mined on a small scale for high grade copper pre-WW1, the last significant exploration was undertaken in the 1950s by Western Mining Corporation (“WMC”). WMC undertook surface sampling, mapping and diamond drilling at the Grants Target. Importantly, WMC only assayed for copper due to low gold prices at the time. In preparing the detailed section in Figure 2 several intersections not previously reported were also identified. Of note, WMC intersected porphyry in GS2 and GS3 with associated disseminated chalcopyrite but did not assay these intervals.
Dreadnought’s recent rock chip sampling was designed to confirm gold mineralisation and to characterise the different styles of mineralisation, alteration and host lithologies present at the Grants Target. Rock chip sampling locations were spaced out approximately 25-50m along the strike of the outcropping lode (see Figure 3), at each sample location, multiple rock chips were collected which represented different styles of mineralisation, alteration and lithologies present. All results from Grants are included in Table 1.
==> picture [306 x 364] intentionally omitted <==
The entire 800m long strike of outcropping mineralisation at the Grants Target is yet to be sampled. Further sampling will take place later in 2019.
In addition to confirming significant Cu-Au mineralisation, there is a strong Ag-Bi-Co (As-Mo-Sb) geochemical association which is characteristic of Proterozoic Cu-Au (IOCG) deposits.
Proterozoic Cu-Au (IOCG) deposits are highly attractive targets with examples in Australia including the Tennant Creek Inlier (ex. Gecko, Peko) and Mt Isa Inlier/Cloncurry District (ex. Ernest Henry).

Concluding Comments
Dreadnought is extremely pleased to have confirmed significant gold mineralisation and the Cu-AuAg-Bi-Co (As-Mo-Sb) IOGC pathfinder association with the historical copper workings. This is a geochemical signature similar to the Tennant Creek and Mt Isa (Cloncurry) Mineral Districts.
Dreadnought looks forward to announcing further results of reconnaissance rock chip sampling as results are received.
We would like to acknowledge the assistance of our stakeholders including the Department of Defence, the Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation and our shareholders for bringing us to this point.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project
Dreadnought controls over 870 sq kms of the highly prospective West Kimberley located only 85 kms from Derby, Western Australia. The project area was locked up as a Defence reserve for >40 years and has only recently been opened up 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. Defence usage in that period has been light with no unexploded ordnance mapped in the area. The area has seen minimal exploration since the 1950s and has numerous pre-WW1 workings and outcropping mineralisation.
Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji including: volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”); Proterozoic Cu-Au; and magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE (see Figure 4). Within these mineralisation styles, numerous high priority Ni-Cu-Au targets have been identified from recent VTEM surveys, historical geochemical sampling and outcropping mineralisation. Other highlights include:
-
area has seen minimal exploration since the 1950s;
-
large scale Ni-Cu-Au opportunity with numerous, high priority nickel-coppergold targets identified from 2015 airborne VTEM survey and supported by 1960’s geochemical sampling; and
-
• successful EIS grant of $120,000 awarded via independent, competitive process; and
Rocky Dam Au:
-
gold and base metal prospectivity defined by previous exploration; and
-
surrounded by Riversgold; Northern Star; Sumitomo and Aruma with gold targets identified by CRA and Delta Gold.

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 • Fixed Loop EM (FLEM) surveyed at 25m and 50m station spacing with 50m and 100m spaced lines. • FLEM stations were planned perpendicular to geological strike of target horizons. • Rock Chips were collected by Dreadnought staff and submitted for analysis. Rock chips are random, subject to bias and often unrepresentative for the typical widths required for economic consideration. They are by nature difficult to duplicate with any acceptable form of precision or accuracy. • Rock chips have been collected by Dreadnought to assist in characterising different lithologies, alterations and expressions of mineralisation. In many instances, several rock chips were collected from a single location to assist with characterising and understanding the different lithologies, alterations and expressions of mineralisation present at the locality. • Rock chips were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of Au, Pt and Pd by PGM- ICP24 and multiple (48) elements by ME-MS61 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. The drilling intersected base metal mineralisation, but sampling techniques are not known. • Versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) and aeromagnetic data acquired for Rio Tinto Exploration in October 2015 were flown by UTS Geophysics using an A-star 350 B3 helicopter with a VTEM max receiver and transmitter and Geometrics caesium vapour magnetic sensor. |
| 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.). |
Current Exploration • No drilling undertaken. Historical Exploration • Diamond drilling at Grants and Wilsons, percussion and diamond drilling at Chianti. |

| 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. |
Current Exploration • No drilling reported. Historical Exploration • Drilling was completed in the 1950s and 1970s and limited information is available. • Drill collar locations are not visible on the surface and have not been verified. • Locations have been georeferenced from historical mapping and drill plans. . |
