THICK, SHALLOW GOLD MINERALISATION INTERSECTED AT ROCKY DAM

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Thick shallow zones of gold mineralisation at CRA-North with significant drill intercepts including:

  • RDRC002: 45m @ 0.6 g/t Au from 18m including 9m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 42m

  • RDRC006: 40m @ 0.2 g/t Au from 19m

  • Mineralised lode remains open along strike and at depth with potential for multiple lodes and higher grade bedrock mineralisation at depth and to the west

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce the results of its maiden RC drilling program at CRA-North, part of the Rocky Dam Gold-VMS Project located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie.

Drilling was designed to target a high tenor gold-in-soil anomaly located along a sheared contract between felsic volcanics and sediments. Thick, near surface, oxide gold mineralisation was intersected associated with gossanous quartz veining. Mineralisation is interpreted to be striking NNW-SSE, dipping to the WSW and plunging north in line with the local foliation. Follow up drilling will be undertaken to the west to drill beneath the oxide mineralisation targeting fresh bedrock mineralisation.

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Our maiden drill results at CRA-North are highly encouraging with good widths and reasonable grades. The bedrock mineralisation and potentially higher grades are interpreted to sit to the west and at depth beneath the recent intercepts. The thick shallow oxide mineralisation combined with ~300m of strike and proximity to Kalgoorlie makes CRA-North an attractive target for further drilling as soon as logistically possible.”

Drill Results at CRA-North

CRA-North was defined by CRA in the 1990s as a 700m long gold anomaly along a sheared contact of felsic volcanics and black shales. This work included shallow RAB drilling (average depth 24m) and two diamond holes (average depth 200m). The diamond drilling appears to have been ineffective with down hole surveys indicating a significant change off planned azimuth by 30°.

The recent program tested a high tenor gold-in-soil anomaly located along a sheared contact between felsic volcanics and sediments to confirm the orientation of the mineralised structure. Three sections of scissor holes were drilled either side of the gold-in-soil and historical RAB drilling intercepts. An additional hole was drilled to the south to test thin east-west trending quartz veins exposed during earthworks. In total, 7 holes for 1,212m were drilled along 300m of strike.

Drill results include the following (see figures 1, 2 and 3):

- RDRC002: 45m of 0.6g/t Au including 9m @ 1.7g/t Au from 18m depth

  • RDRC006: 40m @ 0.2 g/t Au from 19m depth

The gold intercepts were associated with gossanous quartz veins in felsic schists and black shales within the oxidised lower saprolite and saprock weathering zones. These oxide intercepts are likely associated with a main lode which is interpreted to be dipping off to the west and plunging north which is in line with the prospect scale foliation.

Numerous thin mineralised zones in the fresh rock were associated with quartz sulphide veins and carbonate, sericite and occasionally roscoelite/fuchsite alteration.

Next steps are to collect one metre splits from the mineralised intercepts and plan additional follow up drilling to test for potential bedrock mineralisation dipping to the west.

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.

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.
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. 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
neatly deposited in rows adjacent to the rig. An
aluminium scoop was used to then sub-sample each
spoil pile to create a 2-3kg 3m composite sample in a
calico.
Both types of samples were then submitted to the
laboratory and pulverised to produce a 50g charge for
Fire Assay.
7 RC holes were drilled during the program for 1,212
metres, with 525 samples produced for assay.
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.).
Drilling method was Reverse Circulation (RC). Bit size
was approximately 144mm. Raglan Drilling undertook
the program utilising a Schramm truck mounted T685
rig with additional air from an auxiliary compressor and
booster.
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.
No quantitate data was collected regarding the
recovery of sample. However standard RC sampling
‘best practice’ procedures were utilised whilst drilling
including 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 of exploration, it is unknown if a 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
RC chips were logged by a qualified geologist with
sufficient experience in this geological terrain and
relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry
standard logging system which could eventually be

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.
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. These samples are
considered representative of the material drilled.
3m Composites
All remaining spoil from the sampling system was
collected in buckets from the sampling system and
neatly deposited in rows adjacent to the rig. An
aluminium scoop was used to then sub-sample each
spoil pile to create a 2-3kg 3m composite sample in a
calico. These samples are considered to represent an
indication of mineralisation. If an indication of
mineralisation is achieved during assaying, the
corresponding 1m split samples will be submitted for
assay and supersede the composite sample assay
during reporting.
No duplicate samples were taken during the program.
QAQC in the form of OREAS certified material was
inserted into the sample string approximately every
33rd sample.
Samples were submitted to ALS laboratories (Perth
WA) for a 50g Fire Assay with ICP_AES finish
(AU_ICP22). A 2-3kg samples is oven dried to 105
degC and is then pulverised to 85% passing 75um.
Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and
monitored.

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.
Assay technique is Fire Assay which is a ‘Total
Technique’. No duplicate samples were taken during
the program. QAQC in the form of OREAS certified
material
was
inserted
into
the
sample
string
approximately every 33rd sample. Standard laboratory
QAQC is undertaken and monitored by the laboratory
and by the company upon assay result receival. All
QAQC is deemed to have passed internal DRE

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a
digital logging system, verified and eventually stored in
an offsite database. No twinning has been undertaken.

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.

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.
All results assaying over 0.1 g/t Au have been
reported within this report.
A standard weighted averaging technique has been
applied to report intercepts of differing widths.
No metal equivalents are used or reported in this
report.
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.
The exact orientation of the various mineralised lodes
is unknown at this point and therefore the exact widths
of mineralisation is unknown.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

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.
Reporting is considered balanced considering the
nature of the sampling techniques involved. All
significant drilling intercepts have been reported.
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.
All pertinent exploration programs are reported upon
within the text.
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.
1m splits will be collected and assayed for all
composite samples of interest.
Potentially further exploration drilling to define high
grade lodes as CRA North.
Potential project wide exploration to define further
gold and base metals targets.
