ILLAARA UPDATE AND REGIONAL TARGET GENERATION
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Regional soil sampling has generated a number of gold, base metal and lithium-caesiumtantalum (“LCT”) anomalies across Illaara.
-
Follow up sampling and infill soils are underway with an aim to have targets drill ready for testing in 2021.
-
Drilling at Illaara is ongoing and expected to finish in April 2021 with assay results expected throughout May 2021.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce the results of the regional soil sampling program undertaken at Illaara. To date, over 11,000 soil samples have been analysed generating a range of new gold and base metal targets. Additionally, a pegmatite swarm within the Lawrence’s Corridor returned highly anomalous LCT values.
Follow up mapping and surface sampling is underway with an aim to have targets defined for drill testing in the December quarter of 2021.
Drilling has been completed at all targets within the Metzke’s Corridor. Drilling is ongoing in the Lawrence’s Corridor and is expected to finish by the end of April 2021. Assays are expected throughout May 2021.
Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ Before this regional soil program, only portions of the Metzke’s, Lawrence’ s and Central Illaara areas had been covered with first pass soil sampling. This program has successfully identified a number of new gold corridors in different lithostructural settings to the Metzke’s and Lawrence’s Corridors. Encouragingly, a new base metal VMS target, Nelson, has been defined with the strongest base metal-in-soil anomaly to date. The program also highlighted a strong and coherent lithium-caesium-tantalum anomaly within the Lawrence’s Corridor. We look forward to continuing results from our drilling and target generation activities.”

Results of Regional Soils (E29/957, E29/959, E30/471, E30/476: 100%, E29/965, E30/485: Option to acquire 100%)
The regional soils program has successfully generated a number of wide spaced anomalies across Illaara. These anomalies will continue to be assessed and infill soil sampling undertaken. Five of the more advanced anomalies are discussed in detail below being:
-
CRA Homestead, Spitfire and Defiance gold anomalies;
-
Nelson base metal anomaly; and
-
Lawrence’s Corridor swarm of pegmatites with anomalous LCT values.
In addition to a follow up infill soil sampling, an airborne magnetics survey will be extended over the remainder of Illaara to assist with lithostructural interpretation, target definition and target ranking.

CRA Homestead (E30/471: 100%)
In the late 1980’s, CRA Exploration (“ CRA ”) identified the Homestead prospect by defining a ~2,000m x 400m auger anomaly containing a >100ppb Au core over ~350m x 250m. The core is located along a significant bend in a major north-south orientated shear zone. In 1990, a RAB drilling program over the anomaly was unable to penetrate a ferricrete/silcrete layer rendering the RAB drilling ineffective.
In 2019, Dreadnought drilled 3 RC holes into the core intersecting a deep weathering profile, including low-grade supergene gold near the fresh rock interface with strongly sheared fuchsite, carbonate and pyrite-pyrrhotite altered ultramafic lithologies. However, the holes did not penetrate far enough into the fresh rock. Encouragingly, one hole did end in mineralisation. The combination of deep weathering, a highly altered shear zone and mineralisation at depth indicates potential for a large gold system at depth.
Wide spaced soil sampling over CRA Homestead has identified an extension of the high-grade gold-insoil anomaly beyond the originally tested core with the anomaly apparently closed out due to paleodrainage lines. Given the highly prospective lithostructural setting of CRA Homestead and confirmed

oxide gold mineralisation, combination extensional soil surveys and aircore drilling will be designed to evaluate the prospect later in 2021.

Spitfire (E30/471: 100%, E30/485: Option to acquire 100%)
Spitfire is a ~2,000m x 600m gold-in-soil anomaly situated over a demagnetised folded banded iron formation (“ BIF ”) at the intersection of a NW trending fault. Spitfire was initially identified as an isolated anomaly and is located 16km south of and adjacent to the same shear as CRA Homestead. The gold-in-soil anomaly represents a classic and attractive BIF hosted gold target.
Infill soil sampling is complete, with Spitfire now a late 2021 drill ready target.

Defiance (E30/471: 100%)
Defiance is an isolated 800m long gold-in-soil anomaly that remains open along strike to the north. It lies along the sheared eastern margin of the Illaara Greenstone Belt, located at a significant bend in the shear coinciding with the intersection of a significant NW trending fault. The gold-in-soil anomaly is hosted within quartzite and sheared metasedimentary rocks with abundant shear parallel iron oxide-stained quartz veins.
Additional soil samples will be undertaken to extend the anomaly to the north and to infill an area of anomalism along a parallel shear located 800m to the west with the aim of having the target drill ready by the end of 2021.

Nelson Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag Target (E30/476: 100%)
Base metal volcanogenic massive sulphides (“ VMS ”) mineralisation has been identified and previously targeted within the Illaara Greenstone Belt by Electrolytic Zinc and BHP in the 1970s and 1980s.
During both the regional and infill sampling within the Lawrence’s Corridor a 1,500m x 350m strong and coherent Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag anomaly with peak values of 364ppm Cu, 706ppm Pb, 1140ppm Zn and 665ppb Ag was defined within the western VMS horizon at the southern end of the Lawrence’s Corridor. This anomaly has a distinct and strong VMS pathfinder signature (Au, Cd, In, Sn, Tl) and will receive further target definition work.
LCT Pegmatite Anomalies (E30/476: 100%)
During a review of the multi-element results, a strong and coherent 5,000m x 1,000m LCT pegmatite anomaly (Li-Cs-Ta-Nb-Rb-Be-Sn) was noted in the southern area of the Lawrence’s Corridor associated with a felsic intrusion. Reconnaissance mapping of the area during the course of drilling has confirmed the presence of a large pegmatite dyke swarm associated with the anomalism.
Pegmatites over 10m thick have been observed outcropping over several hundred meters in length. A systematic rock chipping program has been undertaken over the dyke swarm to assess the potential of the LCT pegmatites.

Background on Illaara
Illaara is located 190 km from Kalgoorlie and comprises seven tenements (~900 sq km) covering over ~75km of strike along the entire Illaara Greenstone Belt. The Illaara Greenstone Belt has now been consolidated through an acquisition from 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 Portman Iron and Cleveland Cliffs who were looking to extend their mining operations north as part of their Koolyanobbing Iron Ore Operation. Given the long history of iron ore mining in the region, Illaara is well situated in relation to existing road and rail infrastructure connecting it to a number of export ports.
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.

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 & Au Project
Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~4,000sq kms of tenure located 250kms southeast of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Mangaroon is prospective for magmatic NiCu-PGE mineralisation and high grade gold with evidence of both outcropping within the project area and virtually unexplored for the past 40 years.
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 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. |
Dreadnought Geochemical Sampling • Soil samples were collected by Dreadnought and contractor (XM / OMNI GeoX) personnel on an 800x50m or 400x50m grid across the Prospect. • Samples were collected by digging a 30x30x15cm, pit, homogenizing and then sieving and collection of a dry 200g -250µm sample. • Soils samples were submitted to LabWest (Perth) for Ultra Fine Fraction (UFF) separation (<2µm) and analysis by Aqua Regia ICP-MS & ICP-OES for determination of Au, and 45 other elements. |
