HIGH-GRADE RARE EARTH ELEMENT IRONSTONES OUTCROPPING AT MANGAROON
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Twelve Rare Earth Element (“REE”) prospects have been identified in the south-eastern area of the Mangaroon Project (DRE 100%, “Mangaroon”). Mangaroon located ~15kms southwest of the Yangibana REE Project (“Yangibana”) which is currently under construction and development by Hastings Technology Metals Limited (ASX:HAS, “Hastings”).
-
Rock chips from outcropping ironstones at the 2.5km long Yin prospect have returned assays up to 11.2% Total Rare Earth Oxide (“TREO”), including 3.6% Nd2O3+Pr6O11.
-
The TREO and the Nd2O3+Pr6O11 results from Yin exhibit similar characteristics to Yangibana.
-
Adjacent ground has recently been applied for and a field crew is currently undertaking further sampling and assessment of Yin and other prospects, with additional assays expected in July 2021.
-
Nickel and gold exploration programs are continuing at Mangaroon and mobilisation to the Kimberley remains on schedule with drilling to commence at the Texas Ni-Cu-PGE target in June 2021.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce that it has received high-grade REE assays from previously unsampled ironstone outcrops at the Yin prospect, similar to those seen at Yangibana located ~15 kms to the northeast.
To date, twelve REE prospects have been identified based on thorium radiometric anomalies coincident with apparent ironstone outcrops. The high-grade rock chips were taken from the Yin prospect where ongoing field work has traced the ironstone over 2.5km of strike.
Significantly, eleven other REE prospects remain to be inspected and field work is currently being undertaken to assess these prospects in addition to the strike extents of Yin.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ The number of prospects identified, combined with the high-grades of rare earths at Yin has been an interesting development for us at Mangaroon. Further

work is underway to determine the potential scale and implications of this opportunity.
In the interim, we remain focused on drilling at our Kimberley project with rigs and personnel mobilising on schedule in June 2021.”

Rare Earths at Mangaroon (E09/2448, E09/2450, E09/2535: DRE 100%)
The Yangibana ironstones are readily accessible and located 5-20km from the Cobra - Gifford Creek Road. The ironstones were first targeted by prospectors in 1972 as base metal bearing gossans. The REE potential of the ironstones was first assessed in 1985 and has seen substantial work since Hastings acquired the ironstones north of the Lyons River Fault in 2011 (Figure 3).
However, no significant REE exploration was ever undertaken south of the Lyons River Fault, considered to be the southern extent of REE mineralisation.
Yangibana currently has a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource* of 27.42Mt @ 0.97% TREO with 0.33% Nd2O3+Pr6O11 and is under construction and development. The high proportion of Nd2O3+Pr6O11, which are used for magnets for electric vehicles and renewable power generation, are an important component for project economics.
The TREO results and the Nd2O3+Pr6O11 component from Yin, exhibit similar characteristics to Yangibana (Figure 4).
Significantly, eleven other REE prospects remain to be tested, including extensions to Yin, and field work is currently being undertaken.

REE are Critical Minerals
REE are considered critical minerals. These are metals and non-metals that are vital for the economic well-being of the world's economies, yet whose supply may be at risk due to a number of factors.
The minerals ranked as most critical by the United States, Japan, Republic of Korea, and the European Union including the United Kingdom, are as follows (ranked by Geoscience Australia based on synthesis of individual country rankings):
Rare-earth elements (REE), gallium (Ga), indium (In), tungsten (W), platinum-group elements (PGE) including platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), cobalt (Co), niobium (Nb), magnesium (Mg), molybdenum (Mo), antimony (Sb), lithium (Li), vanadium (V), nickel (Ni), tantalum (Ta), tellurium (Te), chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn).

Mangaroon covers >4,500 sq. kms of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The region is host to high-grade gold mineralisation at the Bangemall/Cobra and Star of Mangaroon Gold mining centres and the high grade Yangibana REE deposits. 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.

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. Mangaroon is prospective for magmatic NiCu-PGE, high grade gold and ferrocarbonatite hosted REE.
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. |
Rock Chips • Rock Chips were collected by Dreadnought staff and submitted for analysis. Rock chips are random, subject to bias and often unrepresentative for the typical widths required for economic consideration. They are by nature difficult to duplicate with any acceptable form of precision or accuracy. • Rock chips have been collected by Dreadnought to assist in characterising different lithologies, alterations and expressions of mineralisation. In many instances, several rock chips were collected from a single location to assist with characterising and understanding the different lithologies, alterations and expressions of mineralisation present at the locality. • Rock chips were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion XRF (ALS Method ME-XRF30). Yangibana Rock Chips • Rock Chips were collected by Hastings and Artemis personnel and submitted for analysis. • Hastings submitted rock chips to Genalysis for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion ICP-MS (Genalysis Method FP6/MS). • Artemis submitted rock chips to Genalysis for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion ICP-MS/OES (Genalysis Method FS105/MS/OES). |
| 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.). |
No drilling undertaken |
| 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 |

| 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. |
Rock Chips • All samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth where 1-3kg rock chips samples were crushed so that >70% of material passes through -6mm, the sample is then pulverised to >85% passing 75 micron. • A 66-gram aliquot of pulverised sample is fused with 12:22 lithium borate flux containing an oxidizing agent, and poured to form a fused disk. The resultant disk is in then analysed by XRF spectrometry specifically for Rare Earths (ALS Method ME-XRF30) • Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest and Method ME-XRF30 is appropriate for REE determination. • No standards, duplicates or blanks submitted with rock chips. Yangibana Rock Chips • Hastings submitted rock chips to Genalysis for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion ICP-MS (Genalysis Method FP6/MS). • Lithium borate fusion is considered a total digest and Method FP6/MS is considered appropriate for REE determination. • Artemis submitted rock chips to Genalysis for determination of Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion ICP-MS/OES(Genalysis Method |

| 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: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole 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. |
No drilling undertaken |
| 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. |
No drilling undertaken |
| 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 |
• 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. |
• 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. |
• Detailed airborne magnetics, surface geochemistry and mapping prior to drilling |
