SULPHIDES INTERSECTED WITHIN THE RUINS DOLERITE IN FIRST HOLE AT TEXAS NI-CU-PGE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sulphides, dominated by pyrrhotite with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite, hosted within the Ruins Dolerite were intersected from 56.75–57.55m in the first hole (TXDD001) drilled into a 550m x 280m EM plate at Texas.

  • A second diamond hole (TXDD002), located ~150m to the Northeast of TXDD001, will be drilled to a depth of 180m to test the EM plate further down plunge.

  • Preparations for the RC drilling program at Fuso (6 holes), Paul’s Find (3 holes), Orion (3 holes) and Chianti-Rufina (7 holes) for a total of 19 holes for ~4,010m are underway with drilling to commence early July 2021.

  • Drilling updates and assay results are expected throughout July and August 2021.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has intersected sulphides at Texas, part of the Tarraji-Yampi Project in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia.

TXDD001 intersected dominantly pyrrhotite with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite from 56.75–57.55m hosted within the Ruins Dolerite. The drill hole was positioned to test the shallow southern extent of the modelled 550m x 280m EM plate with a conductance of 1,300 siemens. Additionally, multiple fingers of felsic porphyry and quartz-sulphide (pyrite-chalcopyrite) veins were intersected in the upper half of the hole. Diamond core will be dispatched for sampling with assay results expected in August 2021.

Drilling of TXDD002, located ~150m to the Northeast of TXDD001, will test the EM plate further down plunge with a planned hole depth of 180m. It is expected that this hole will be completed in mid-July.

In addition, preparations for the RC drilling program at Fuso and Paul’s Find Cu-Au, Orion Ni-Cu-PGE and Chianti-Rufina Cu-Zn-Ag Targets are well underway with drilling on schedule to commence in early July 2021.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Confirmation of sulphides within the Ruins Dolerite is an exciting outcome for the first drill hole at Texas and significantly enhances the prospectivity of Texas as well as the recently defined EM plates at Orion.

This is a great start to our exploration program in the Kimberley and we look forward to progressing the diamond and RC drilling programs.”

Program at Texas and Orion Ni-Cu-PGE (E04/2315: 80%)

Texas and Orion are magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE targets hosted within the Ruins Dolerite. In 2015, an airborne VTEM survey was flown resulting in the identification of Texas and Orion as multiple EM anomalies +/- coincident magnetic anomalies hosted within a thick Ruins Dolerite sequence.

Subsequently, Dreadnought has conducted a detailed airborne magnetics survey and FLEM surveys at Texas and Orion identifying multiple strong conductors within the Ruins Dolerite. Additionally, mapping at Orion identified outcropping disseminated and blebby sulphides in sub-cropping Ruins Dolerite close to the VTEM anomalies. This indicates sulphur saturation within the Ruins Dolerite and means the VTEM anomalies may be associated with massive sulphide accumulations.

Two diamond holes will be drilled at Texas for ~320m to test the coincident magnetic and EM anomaly (Figure 2). In addition, three RC holes (500m) are planned to test EM plates A, B and C in the southern portion of Orion (Figure 2). Further holes may be drilled pending the results of an additional FLEM survey to be undertaken over the northern portion of Orion. Down hole EM surveys will be undertaken post-drilling as deemed necessary.

Program at Fuso and Paul’s Find Cu-Au (E04/2315: 80%)

Fuso and Paul’s Find are Proterozoic Cu-Au targets defined from airborne magnetics and ground gravity surveys undertaken in 2019. This work was motivated by the comparisons of the lithostructural and geochemical signature of outcropping mineralised veins at Tarraji-Yampi to other Proterozoic CuAu terranes such as the Tennant Creek Inlier (Gecko, Peko) and Mt Isa (Brumby, Ernest Henry). In these terranes, Proterozoic Cu-Au deposits occur as coincident magnetic-gravity anomalies regionally associated with Proterozoic high-K intrusions.

Fuso is defined by an intense magnetic high surrounding the northern extent of a strong density anomaly. The ~500m x 400m ovoid gravity feature is cupped on the northern side of the ~1,700m x 700m magnetic anomaly (Figure 3). The magnetic anomaly is interpreted to be related to intense ironrich alteration, either as magnetite or pyrrhotite and the gravity signature conceptually represents the mineralised breccia. Six RC holes for 1,500m will be drilled to test the magnetic and gravity anomalies and the overlap between the magnetic and gravity anomalies.

Paul’s Find is defined by an intense, isolated, reversely/remanently magnetised anomaly with a coincident density anomaly. Inversion modelling suggests that the isolated feature is located near surface with dimensions of ~300m x 200m (Figure 3). The magnetic low is interpreted to be remnant magnetisation associated with a mineralised body. Three holes for 750m will be drilled across the coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly.

Program at Chianti-Rufina Cu-Zn-Ag (E04/2508: 100%)

Chianti was originally defined and drilled by Australian Consolidated Minerals in 1972. An airborne VTEM survey flown in 2015 highlighted a conductor beneath the 1972 drilling. Since acquiring the project in 2019, Dreadnought has carried out a FLEM survey covering a portion of the VTEM conductor which contained outcropping gossans and historical drilling. The FLEM survey identified two strong EM plates which were then drilled in late 2019 and successfully intersected highly magnetic massive sulphide mineralisation (refer ASX 2 December 2019).

Dreadnought has now defined seven FLEM plates with associated outcropping gossans, magnetic anomalies and/or soil anomalies within the interpreted prospective VMS horizon (Figure 4). Seven RC holes for 1,260m will test each of the FLEM plates.

Background on Tarraji-Yampi

Tarraji-Yampi is located entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area (“YSTA”), a Commonwealth owned 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 has been off limits to mineral exploration from 1978 to 2013.

Copper was discovered and mined in the early 1900s with the only significant exploration since undertaken by Western Mining Corporation in 1958 and Australian Consolidated Minerals in 1972 with both parties exploring for copper. Since opening up 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. Dreadnought has completed successful drilling programs at the Chianti-Rufina VMS and Grants Cu-Au targets. In addition, geophysical and geochemical surveys have resulted in the definition of >12 drill targets.

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 1900s which have seen no modern exploration.

Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji-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.

==> picture [261 x 358] intentionally omitted <==

Illaara Gold, VMS & 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 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.

Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE, REE & Au Project

Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,500sq kms of tenure located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. During most of the regions early history, it did not receive government support for prospecting and or exploration resulting in a vastly underexplored region in Western Australia.

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. Mangaroon is still in the early stages with limited modern exploration.
