Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce assay results from the first 6 mineralised follow-up holes drilled at Orion, part of the Tarraji-Yampi Project in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Drilling results have confirmed Orion as a high-grade copper (up to 7.4%), silver (up to 192.0g/t), gold (up to 34.2g/t) and cobalt (up to 1.66%) massive sulphide discovery with mineralisation commencing from just 1m under cover, extending to at least 240m along strike and 150m down dip. Orion remains open along strike and at depth. Geophysical modelling indicates the mineralised body could extend to at least 500m depth.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “With multiple thick, high-grade intercepts now confirmed we are delighted to declare Orion a high-grade Cu-Ag-Au-Co discovery occurring just 1m below surface. With 13 mineralised holes remaining to be assayed, including our deepest, and our oxide and supergene intercepts, we expect more high-grade intercepts to come. This is an amazing outcome from what is our second ever drill program at Tarraji-Yampi, the first programs here since 1958/1972 and an indication of the potential for this highly prospective and underexplored ground to produce more discoveries.”

Program at Orion Cu-Ag-Au-Co (E04/2315: 80%)
Orion consists of multiple magnetic and EM anomalies within a thick 4km long Ruins Dolerite and sediment package. A number of anomalies sit adjacent to significant cross cutting structures which could provide fluid pathways for Proterozoic Cu-Ag-Au-Co mineralisation.
During the 2021 field season 29 RC holes (3,240m) were drilled at Orion over two programs and included KMRC017 which intersected 12m @ 1.6% Cu, 31.7g/t Ag and 0.5g/t Au from 45m from an interval of massive to semi-massive sulphides within the Ruins Dolerite. Subsequent to drilling KMRC017, downhole and fixed loop EM survey programs modelled the anomaly at Orion to extend >400m of strike and to ~500m in depth (being the limit of the EM survey’s effectiveness).
During the second program, 27 RC holes (2,904m) were drilled at Orion to test the anomaly’s strike length and depth extent, as well as to test for nearby supergene mineralisation. A total of 18 holes have hit massive/semi-massive sulphides, oxide and or supergene mineralisation. Assay results from the first 6 massive/semi-massive sulphide intercepts have returned significant mineralisation including:
-
KMRC022: 16m @ 2.2% Cu, 38.7g/t Ag, 6.6g/t Au, 0.40% Co from 77m Including: 2m @ <0.1% Cu, 4.8 g/t Ag, 27.6g/t Au, 1.50% Co from 77m And: 7m @ 4.7% Cu, 83.3g/t Ag, 4.9g/t Au, 0.20% Co from 82m
-
KMRC026: 19m @ 1.0% Cu, 23.2g/t Ag, 1.1g/t Au, 0.06% Co from 92m Including: 2m @ 2.0% Cu, 56.8g/t Ag, 5.6 g/t Au, 0.25% Co from 92m And: 3m @ 3.5% Cu, 92.9g/t Ag, 1.9g/t Au, 0.14% Co, 4.2% Zn from 107m
-
KMRC019: 12m @ 1.3% Cu, 23.2g/t Ag, 1.1g/t Au, 0.06% Co from 83m
-
KMRC021: 14m @ 0.6% Cu, 11.3 g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au, 0.01% Co from 43m Including: 2m @ 3.1% Cu, 68.3g/t Ag, 1.6g/t Au, 0.05% Co from 45m
Mineralisation has now been confirmed over ~240m in strike from within ~1m of surface to ~150m down dip with mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.

The massive sulphide mineralisation at Orion consists of pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite-cobaltite and zones into more pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyritesphalerite and galena rich compositions to the north and occasionally along the margins of the massive sulphide intervals. This zonation is likely due to a temperature gradient and/or multiple overprinted pulses within the mineral system.
The massive sulphide mineralisation occurs in a sequence of graphitic shales and siltstones and fine to medium-grained foliated dolerite and mafic schists. The mineralised lodes are approximately conformable with the stratigraphy and dip from 55- 70 degrees to the east, range in thickness from 1 20m and generally increase in thickness and tenor down dip. The results align with stronger modelled EM and magnetic responses at depth. Several NW trending faults offset the lode and may offset, but not necessarily close off, the mineralisation to the south.
Oxide and supergene mineralisation is developed in the weathered portions of the lode down to ~20m depth and is marked by iron rich gossans and secondary copper carbonates in the oxide portions and chalcocite in the supergene.
A palaeochannel ranging from 1-5m thick covers the shallowest portions of the mineralisation making it blind at surface.
In addition, 3 holes (357m) were drilled into magnetic anomalies with multiple zones of copper and cobalt minerals intersected within sheared, sulphide altered mafic rocks. These results indicate that additional lodes of massive sulphide mineralisation may exist within the broader Orion area.

Background on Tarraji-Yampi
Tarraji-Yampi is located entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area (“ YSTA ”), a Commonwealth Defence Reserve in the West Kimberley, ~80kms from the port of Derby. The YSTA is the second largest defence reserve in Australia after Woomera in South Australia and was off limits to mineral exploration from 1978 to 2013.
The only significant exploration undertaken in the area was by WMC Resources in 1958 and Australian Consolidated Minerals in 1972, with both parties exploring for copper. Since opening for exploration in 2013, Dreadnought has secured the largest ground holding within the YSTA and developed strong working relationships with both the Department of Defence and the Dambimangari People.

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.
Tarraji-Yampi presents a rare first mover opportunity with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900’s which have seen no modern exploration.
Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale, Proterozoic Cu-AuAg-Bi-Sb-Co system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to Cloncurry / Mt Isa in Queensland and Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.
Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE, REE & Au Project
==> picture [256 x 351] intentionally omitted <==
Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,500sq kms of tenure located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. During the region’s early history, there was limited government support for exploration resulting in the region being vastly underexplored.
Since acquiring the project in late 2020, Dreadnought has located: outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults; outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides in the recently defined Money Intrusion; and outcropping high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under development at the Yangibana REE Project.
Illaara Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & Iron Ore 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, VMS base metals and critical metals including Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum.
Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara Greenstone Belt was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore.

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 Original 1m Splits (All drilling) Every metre drilled, two 2-3kg sample (original and duplicate) were sub-sampled into calico bags via a Metzke cone splitter. This results in two 1m split samples. 3m Composites (unmineralized samples) Outside the target zone, all remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in buckets and 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 bag. QAQC samples, in addition to the target lode duplicates and blanks, consisting of duplicates and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) were inserted through the program at a rate of 1:50 samples. Samples will be submitted to the ALS Laboratories in Perth and pulverised to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay to determine Au and PGEs (PGM-ICP24) and 0.25g aliquot for four acid digest to determine 48 elements (ME- MS61) with overranges as required. Diamond Drilling Core is orientated for structural and geotechnical logging where possible. In orientated core, quarter core will be submitted to the lab for analysis in intervals ranging from 20cm to 1m depending on the geological context. If core is orientated, then the half core will be cut so as to preserve the orientation line with the same side of the core submitted down the hole. QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) will be inserted through the program at a rate of 1:50 samples. Samples will be submitted to the ALS Laboratories in Perth and pulverised to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay to determine Au and PGEs (PGM-ICP24) and 0.25g aliquot for four acid digest to determine 48 elements (ME- MS61) with overranges as required. |

Rigs Australia truck mounted Schramm T685WS drill rig with additional air from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit size was 5¾”. Diamond Drilling Diamond drilling is being undertaken by Hagstrom Drilling with a frame mounted LF70. Drilling is initially HQ and dropping to NQ once the hole is cased off. Core is orientated using a Reflex EZ trac and Boart Longyear True Core Orientation Tool. |
|
| 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. |
RC Drilling Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practice’ approach to achieve maximum sample recovery and quality through the ore zones. Best practice sampling procedure included: 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, no bias occurs between sample recovery and grade. Diamond Drilling HQ and NQ drilling has been undertaken. All core recoveries are measured and recorded by the drill crew for each run and remeasured and checked by Dreadnought personnel. Core recovery to date has been very high. At this stage, no known 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 metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
RC chips and diamond core were logged by a qualified geologist with sufficient experience in this geological terrane and relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry standard logging system which could eventually be utilised within a Mineral Resource Estimation. Lithology, mineralisation, alteration, veining, weathering and structure were all recorded digitally. Chips were washed each metre and stored in chip trays for preservation and future reference. Logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi- quantitative in nature. |
| 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. |
ore zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within each ore zone, a duplicate sample was taken of the lode and a blank inserted directly after. 2-3kg samples will be submitted to ALS laboratories (Perth), oven dried to 105°C and pulverised to 85% passing 75um to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay with ICP-AES finish to determine Au and PGEs (PGM-ICP24) and 0.25g aliquot for four acid digest to determine 48 elements (ME-MS61) with overranges as required. Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored. Diamond Drilling 20cm – 1m quarter core samples will be sawn and submitted to the lab for analysis. If core is orientated, then the core will be cut so as to preserve the orientation line with the same side of the core submitted down the hole. QAQC in the form of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) were inserted through the mineralised zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within each mineralised zone, a duplicate sample was taken and a blank inserted directly after. Samples will be submitted to ALS laboratories (Perth), oven dried to 105°C and pulverised to 85% passing 75um to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay with ICP-AES finish to determine Au and PGEs (PGM-ICP24) and 0.25g aliquot for four acid digest to determine 48 elements (ME- MS61) with overranges as required. Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • 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’ for Au and PGEs. Four acid digest is considered a ‘near total’ technique for the 48 elements received under ME-MS61. Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored by the laboratory and by the company upon assay result receival. No assay results reported, so no comment on the outcomes of the QAQC at this stage. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite database. Significant intersections have been inspected by senior company personnel. No twinned holes have been drilled at this time. |

| • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
No adjustments to any assay data have been undertaken. |
|
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Collar position was recorded using a Emlid Reach RS2 RTK GPS system (+/- 0.2m x/y, +/- 0.5m z). GDA94 Z51s is the grid format for all xyz data reported. Azimuth and dip of the drill hole was recorded after the completion of the hole using a Reflex Sprint IQ Gyro. A reading was undertaken every 30thmetre with an accuracy of +/- 1° azimuth and +/-0.3° dip. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
See drill table for hole positions. Data spacing at this stage is not suitable for Mineral Resource Estimation. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular angle to the interpreted strike and dip of the modelled FLEM plates and known outcrop. No sample bias is known at this time. |
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
All samples from collection at rig through to submission at the laboratory have been under the supervision of Dreadnought personnel or sub-contractors associated with the company. All samples are stored is core trays and strapped to pallets for storage and transport. |

||
| 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 close to perpendicular to the dip of the mineralisation. • The true thickness of the mineralisation intersected in drill holes cannot currently be calculated. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
