MULTIPLE CONDUCTORS AT THE ILLAARA GOLD-VMS PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Multiple discreet and highly conductive EM anomalies generated from Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (“FLEM”) Survey

  • Rodney Prospect produced a strong 8,500Sm conductor with a coincident magnetic anomaly over a mineralised gossan

  • Warspite Prospect produced two strong 3,000-4,000Sm conductors aligned with ~500m long mineralised gossan

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce the results of its recently completed FLEM program at Rodney, Reindler’s, Warspite and Bismarck, part of the Illaara Gold-VMS Project.

The program was designed to generate high conductivity targets over mineralised gossans for RC drill testing in 2020. The program successfully defined several discreet, strong, late-time conductors aligned with outcropping gossans in highly prospective geological settings for base metal VMS mineralisation.

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The FLEM program has defined several

==> picture [294 x 367] intentionally omitted <==

promising VMS drill targets at Illaara. This is the first modern exploration work completed at several of these targets and with encouraging results. Coincident mineralised gossans with underlying EM and magnetic anomalies are highly attractive targets. Rodney and Warspite are outstanding targets that we look forward to rapidly advancing while we do further background work on Reindler’s and Bismarck.

In addition, there is plenty of scope to identify additional VMS prospects at Illaara as the majority of the VMS horizons remain unexplored.”

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

Rodney is located on the Eastern VMS Horizon and sits within a complex mixed package of ultramafic, mafic, intermediate and felsic volcanics with locally abundant interflow sediments, exhalative cherts and banded iron formations. Rock chip samples were collected from a gossan with mixed sedimentary and exhalative banded iron formations stratigraphically below a cumulate ultramafic horizon.

Previous auger sampling returned elevated Cu, Pt and Pd from this area. Results of recent sampling showed elevated Cu, Zn, Pb and Ba in a sedimentary exhalative horizon indicative of a Cu-Zn VMS system.

The FLEM survey highlighted a discreet, strong late-time conductor which aligns with the mineralised outcropping gossan and a coincident magnetic anomaly. The modelled EM plate has dimensions of ~150m x 200m with a westerly dip of ~70° commencing at a depth of ~60-70m with a strong conductance of 8,500Sm (Figure 2).

The discreet and strong coincident EM conductor and magnetic anomaly underlying a mineralised gossan is a highly attractive drill target.

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

Warspite is also located on the Eastern VMS Horizon in the southern portion of the Illaara Greenstone Belt. Warspite sits within a sequence of mixed mafic, intermediate and felsic volcanic and volcaniclastics with minor interflow sediments and exhalative cherts. The area contains thick sequences of felsic and intermediate volcanics and volcaniclastics, a highly encouraging setting for VMS mineralisation.

The Warspite mineralised outcropping gossan can be traced over 500m in strike with a ~150-200m thicker zone towards the southern end. The gossan is elevated in Pb-Cu-Ag with highly anomalous AsBi-In-Mo-Sb-Se-Te supporting a VMS model.

The FLEM survey highlighted two discreet, strong late-time conductors which both align with the gossan. The modelled EM plates have 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 (Figure 5).

The geological setting and outcropping gossan combined with the size and strength of the FLEM anomalies produce an attractive drill target.

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

Reindler’s is also located on the Eastern VMS Horizon within a mixed sequence of bimodal volcanics, sediments and exhalative cherts and banded iron formations which have been intruded by felsic intrusive rocks. Reindler’s was the first base metal gossan to be identified in the Illaara Greenstone Belt and the only one to receive any historical exploration. Limited drill testing by BHP in 1985 intersected promising stratigraphy but no significant mineralisation.

The FLEM survey highlighted two conductors, a strong east dipping “Reindler West FLEM Plate” and the west dipping “Reindler East FLEM Plate” (Figure 6). There has been no historic drilling in these areas. Reindler West is a strong late-time conductor which loosely aligns with a mineralised outcropping gossan and may represent two separate fault offset bodies. The modelled EM plate has dimensions of ~550m x 280m with a conductance of 4,400Sm. Reindler East is a mid-time conductor which aligns with a shale unit loosely associated with the mineralised gossans. The modelled EM plate has dimensions of ~1,200m x 560m with a conductance of 150Sm which strengthens to the north and coincides with the mineralised gossans.

The historical work, geological setting and FLEM anomalies are encouraging. Further work is being undertaken in order to generate high confidence drill targets.

Bismarck VMS Prospect (E30/476 100%; E30/485 Option to acquire 100%)

Bismarck is located on the Western VMS Horizon which is situated within a dominantly mafic volcanic horizon with variable interflow sediments and minor localised exhalative units. Rock chips were collected from a narrow subcropping malachite bearing gossanous unit which was observed over a strike distance of ~200m located near the contact of sediments and mafic volcanics.

Assays from rock chip samples reported significant copper and silver grades and encouragingly, elevated pathfinder elements (As-Ba-Bi-Cd-Mo-Se) supporting a VMS model.

The FLEM survey highlighted an extensive and strong late-time conductor which aligns with the mineralised outcropping gossan. 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 (Figure 7).

The highly mineralised outcrop, and strong conductor are encouraging. Further work is being undertaken in order to generate high confidence drill targets.

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 Goldcorp (“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.

Ongoing Work Programs and COVID19

Geochemical and geophysical field programs have been completed at a number of locations including: the Illaara VMS prospects (Rodney, Reindler’s, Warspite and Bismarck), Illaara Central, Metzke’s Find, and Tarraji. As a result of COVID19, some results have been delayed and are expected to be received throughout April/May 2020.

The Kimberley has been shut off from access, so it is likely that field programs will be delayed this field season. This delay will be used to ensure that all required permits are in place to allow for work to commence as soon as possible after access is restored. The Kimberley situation continues to be monitored and managed.

Illaara and Rocky Dam remain accessible as mineral exploration is an essential industry in Western Australia. Accordingly, Dreadnought will focus on Illaara and Rocky Dam until access to the Kimberley is resolved.

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, TarrajiYampi, 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 TarrajiYampi 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 Goldcorp (“ 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.

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.
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’).
No drilling undertaken
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.
Reporting of the FLEM results is considered
balanced considering the nature of the technique.
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 is provided within this report
to the context of each target.
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.
Dreadnought plans to undertake RC drilling at
several of the targets during 2020.
