DRILLING UPDATE - ILLAARA GOLD-VMS PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

• Assay results from RC drilling at Rodney, Warspite, Reindler’s and Bismarck VMS targets confirm dominantly pyrite-pyrrhotite massive sulphide with trace base metal sulphides

• The lithological setting and geochemical signature confirm an active VMS system at Illaara

• Downhole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) results confirm that the fixed loop electromagnetic (“FLEM”) conductors have been tested with no off-hole conductors identified

• The results will be reviewed by VMS experts to develop an exploration strategy going forward

• Next work programs at Illaara will focus on following up and expanding on the gold prospects at and around the Metzke’s corridor

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to provide an exploration update from the RC drilling at the Rodney, Warspite, Reindler’s and Bismarck VMS targets at the Illaara Gold-VMS Project.

Rodney, Warspite, Reindler’s and Bismarck all returned encouraging results from the drilling which confirm the presence of an active VMS system within the Illaara Greenstone Belt. As observed in the logging, the massive sulphides intersected were dominantly pyrite and pyrrhotite with locally trace levels of chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The geological setting and pathfinder geochemistry support the interpretation of a highly prospective VMS system.

DHEM results confirm that the FLEM anomalies have been adequately tested, with most of modelled conductances being stronger than originally modelled. Base metal rich massive sulphides can have a much lower conductance which is being overshadowed by the highly conductive pyrite-pyrrhotite or, in the case of Bismarck, graphitic black shales.

Within VMS systems, base metal mineralisation can be zoned within a sulphide mound, tectonically modified, or have a combination of both lower tenor and higher tenor massive sulphide deposits. Given the extensive ~40kms of confirmed strike of VMS horizons, Dreadnought will next seek further advice from VMS experts to determine an exploration strategy to effectively and efficiently vector into higher tenor mineralisation. In the meantime, Dreadnought will prioritise gold exploration at Illaara to follow up on the recent results within the Metzke’s corridor and further target generation work at Lawrence’s and extensions from the recently identified Black Oak targets.

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “These results are encouraging and indicate an active VMS system at Illaara. Our targeting methods of geochemical sampling of outcropping gossans plus identifying EM anomalies within the VMS horizons, are successfully identifying massive sulphides dominated by pyrite and pyrrhotite. Our methods need to be refined, using the information obtained from this program, to effectively and efficiently vector into higher tenor base metal massive sulphides. A team of VMS experts will be consulted in this regard. While that review is going on, Dreadnought will continue to actively explore for gold along the Metzke’s corridor”

Rodney VMS Prospect (E29/965: Option to acquire 100%)

Rodney is located on the Eastern VMS Horizon and was defined by a coincident geochemical (Cu, Zn, Pb, Pt, Pd and Ba) anomaly, magnetic anomaly and discreet, strong late-time conductor. The modelled EM plate had dimensions of ~150m x 200m with a westerly dip of ~70° commencing at a depth of ~6070m with a strong conductance of 8,500Sm.

Drilling at Rodney intersected a thick cumulate ultramafic before passing into mafic volcanics and a thick heavily sulphidised BIF with mixed sediments. Three massive to semi-massive sulphide intervals were intersected with two zones returning minor base metal mineralisation:

• 1m @ 0.9% Cu, 0.1% Ni, 2.4 g/t Ag and 0.1 g/t Au with elevated Cd and W

• 3m @ 0.1% Cu with elevated Bi and Sn

DHEM modelling indicated two conductive bodies representing in-hole responses corresponding to the sulphide intersections at 125m and 155m. The upper plate models as a highly conductive 13,000Sm 50m x 50m plate which was intersected just below its centre. The lower plate models as a 130m x 130m plate of similar conductance and was intersected close to its centre.

Warspite VMS Prospect (E30/485: Option to acquire 100%)

Warspite is also located on the Eastern VMS Horizon and was defined by a coincident outcropping ~500m long gossan with elevated in Pb-Cu-Ag with highly anomalous As-Bi-In-Mo-Sb-Se-Te and two discreet, strong late-time conductors. The modelled EM plates had dimensions of ~350m x 350m with a westerly dip of ~75° commencing at a depth of ~50m with a strong conductance of 3,000-4,000Sm.

Drilling at Warspite intersected a sequence of alternating mafic volcanics and sediments before intersecting a massive sulphide horizon then into a sequence of alternating ultramafic volcanics and sediments. Both drill holes returned zones of minor base metal mineralisation associated with As, Bi, Cd, In, Sb, Sn and W.

• ILRC012: 3m @ 0.1% Cu, 0.7 g/t Ag from 92m

• ILRC012: 2m @ 0.1% Cu, 0.7 g/t Ag from 137m

• ILRC012: 1m @ 0.1% Cu, 0.5 g/t Ag from 142m

• ILRC013: 4m @ 0.1% Zn, 0.4 g/t Ag from 117m

DHEM modelling indicated two conductive bodies representing in-hole responses corresponding to sulphide intersections in both ILRC012 and ILRC013. The northern plate models as a highly conductive 10,000Sm 180m x 280m plate. The southern plate models as a highly conductive 13,000Sm 290m x 270m plate. Both plates were effectively tested by the two drill holes.

Reindler’s VMS Prospect (E30/471: 100%; E30/485: Option to acquire 100%)

Reindler’s is located on the Eastern VMS Horizon. Reindler’s was defined by outcropping gossans and two conductors, a strong east dipping “Reindler’s West FLEM Plate” and the west dipping “Reindler’s East FLEM Plate” (Figure 6). Reindler’s West is a late time modelled EM plate with dimensions of ~550m x 280m and a conductance of 4,400Sm. Reindler’s East is a mid-time conductor with dimensions of ~1,200m x 560m and a conductance of 150Sm which strengthens to the north.

ILRC014 tested the Reindler’s East plate and drilled through a mafic volcanic package and then a sheared and sericite-feldspar altered mafic horizon against a felsic porphyry intrusion. Two zones of minor mineralisation with elevated Bi, Cd, In and Sn were intersected within the mafic volcanics:

• 2m @ 0.3% Zn and 1.1 g/t Ag from 131m

• 1m @ 1.1% Zn, 1.1 g/t Ag and 0.7 g/t Au from 143

ILRC015 tested the Reindler’s West plate and drilled through a 26m sequence of massive to semimassive sulphide from 116m consisting predominantly of pyrite and pyrrhotite within a package of clastic sediments and minor mafic volcanics. No significant base metal mineralisation was intersected, but the massive sulphide interval was strongly elevated in As, Cd, Sb and W.

At Reindler’s West, DHEM modelling indicated a 130m x 110m 6,000Sm conductive plate corresponding with thick massive sulphides intersected downhole. At Reindler’s East, the resulting DHEM response was a significantly lower amplitude than all other holes in the program.

Bismarck VMS Prospect (E30/476: 100%)

Bismarck is located on the Western VMS Horizon and was defined by a coincident gossan with high grade copper and silver with elevated pathfinder elements (As-Ba-Bi-Cd-Mo-Se) and an extensive and strong late-time conductor The modelled EM plate has dimensions of ~1,200m x 820m with a steep subvertical to westerly dip commencing at a depth of ~80m and a strong conductance of 1,000Sm.

Drilling at Bismarck intersected a thick sulphidic black shale horizon dominated by pyrite with occasional chalcopyrite and sphalerite which returned a 3m @ 0.1% Cu, 0.3% Zn and 0.7 g/t Ag from 126m depth with elevated Bi, Cd, Mo and Sn.

Modelling of the DHEM response suggests a large 700m x 450m 1,750Sm conductor centred below and to the south of the IRC011. The modelled plate correlated with broad intersection of interbedded black graphitic and dark grey shales containing trace sulphides which is interpreted to be the cause of the conductor.

Background on Illaara

Illaara is located 190 kms from Kalgoorlie and comprises seven tenements (~900 sq kms) covering over ~75km of strike along the entire Illaara Greenstone Belt. The Illaara Greenstone Belt has now been consolidated through an acquisition from Newmont and subsequently the purchase of Metzke’s Find and an option to acquire 100% of E30/485 and E29/965.

Recent gold exploration within the Illaara Greenstone Belt was spurred on by a ~55km long Au-As-Sb anomaly generated from regional regolith sampling by the Geological Survey of Western Australia.

Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was held by iron ore explorers with no focused gold or base metals exploration since the 1990s.

Historically gold was discovered and worked at Metzke’s Find and Lawrence’s Find in the early 1900s. In addition to gold, outcropping VMS base metals mineralisation was identified and briefly tested in the 1980s with no subsequent exploration utilising modern techniques.

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. The area was only recently opened under the Commonwealth Government’s co-existence regime that balances Defence’s needs with the requirements of others including Aboriginal groups, the resources industry, pastoralists and State Governments.

Tarraji-Yampi presents a rare first mover opportunity with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900s which have seen no modern exploration.

Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji-

==> picture [236 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Yampi 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 Gold & VMS 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 and base metals VMS mineralisation.

Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont. Newmont defined several camp-scale targets which were undrilled due to a change in corporate focus. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and has seen minimal gold and base metal exploration since the 1990s. Illaara contains several drill ready gold targets. In addition, the Eastern and Western VMS Horizons are expected to produce exciting drill targets with the application of modern exploration technology.

Rocky Dam Gold & VMS Project

Rocky Dam is located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. Rocky Dam is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation. Rocky Dam has known gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets including the recently defined CRA-North Gold Prospect.

• Criteria JORC Code explanation

• Sampling • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut techniques 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.

Commentary

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce samples for assaying.

Two sampling techniques were utilised for this program, 1m metre splits directly from the rig sampling system each metre and 3m composite sampling from spoil piles through unmineralized zones. Samples submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site geologist.

1m Splits

Every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was subsampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from each metre of drilling.

3m Composites

All remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in buckets from the sampling system and

Geology	• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	• The Illaara Project is located within the Illaara Greenstone Belt within the Southern Cross Domain of the Youanmi Terrane approximately 60kms west of the Ida Fault. • The Illaara Project is prospective for orogenic gold, VMS and potentially komatiite hosted nickel mineralisation. • Mineralisation at Metzke’s is quartz vein hosted within sheared undifferentiated mafic rocks.
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.	• An overview of the drilling program is given within the text and tables within this document
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	• No top cutting has been applied. • All reported results have been length weighted (arithmetic length weighting). • No metal equivalent values are reported.

	examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
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 sub-perpendicular to the dip of the mineralisation. The exact thickness of the mineralisation is currently unknown, however, thicknesses will likely be smaller than the reported intercepts within this report.
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.	• All copper, zinc and nickel values >0.1% and all gold values >0.1g/t are reported in the tables in this announcement.
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.	• Program review with suitable VMS experts • Mapping and surface sampling will assist in vectoring into other massive sulphide accumulations within the project area
