ILLAARA GOLD-VMS-IRON ORE PROJECT UPDATE

HIGHLIGHTS

• All assays have been received from RC and diamond drilling within the Metzke’s Corridor, significant intercepts include:

• MZRC041: 2m @ 4.9 g/t Au from 82m

  • MZRC042: 1m @ 4.8 g/t Au from 93m

• MZDD041: 9.2m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 76.8m, including 1.2m @ 6.5 g/t Au

• A review of this recent drilling indicates a shallow southerly plunge to the mineralisation rather than more steeply plunging shoots as previously modelled. This interpretation will be followed up with RC drilling in February 2021.

• RC drilling will also commence at a number of targets around Illaara in February 2021 including Bald Hill, Black Oak and within the Lawrence’s Corridor.

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“ Dreadnought ”) is pleased to announce the results from RC and diamond drilling at multiple targets within the Metzke’s Corridor.

Drilling at Metzke’s Find was partially completed in December 2020 and defined the margins of the lode with results indicating a shallow southerly plunge to the Metzke’s Find lode rather than more steeply plunging shoots as previously modelled. An RC program (8 holes, 2,130m) will be undertaken in February 2021 to test this interpretation in addition to testing targets at Bald Hill, Black Oak and within the Lawrence’s Corridor. Target testing to the south and southwest of Metzke’s Find returned no significant mineralisation.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “ The results of this recently completed drilling program have not lived up to expectations. However, the drilling has given rise to new interpretations at Metzke’s Find and Longmore’s Find which will be tested in February 2021. In addition, we will be drilling at a number of other targets at Illaara including Black Oak, Bald Hill and Lawrence’s Find . We have an exciting year ahead with Illaara drilling to commence in February 2021 before we transition to work programs at the Kimberley in April 2021.”

Extensional Drilling at Metzke’s Find (E29/1050: 100%)

Extensional RC fence line drilling was completed (8 holes for 948m) to the north and south of previous high-grade mineralisation at Metzke’s Find (see Figure 1 and 2). This drilling was designed to test the extents of mineralisation at Metzke’s Find and find the upper and lower boundaries to the mineralised structure. Significant intercepts include:

• MZRC041: 2m @ 4.9 g/t Au from 82m

• MZRC042: 1m @ 4.8 g/t Au from 93m

In addition to the RC drilling, 6 diamond holes (954.8m) were drilled to test the lode at depth and to acquire structural information. The diamond program was only half completed with drilling shutting down in late December 2020. This has resulted in the incomplete testing of the potential plunge of the Metzke’s Find lode. Significant results include:

• MZDD041: 9.2m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 76.8m, including 1.2m @ 6.5 g/t Au

Based on the information at hand, the mineralisation appears to plunge shallowly to the south and remains open to the south and at depth. RC drilling has been planned to test this new interpretation and will commence in February 2021.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.	Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling Original 1m Splits (All drilling) Every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub- sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter. Target Zone Duplicate 1m Splits (Target Zone) When approaching the target zone, a duplicate 1m split was collected into a calico bag via the Metzke cone splitter for each metre of drilling. This results in two 1m split samples. Within the target zone, all remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in green plastic bags and stored on site. When the main lode was intersected, duplicate 1m samples were submitted along with a blank. 3m and 6m Composites (Outside Target Zone) Outside the target zone, all remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in buckets and neatly 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 or 6m composite sample in a calico bag. Diamond Drilling Core is orientated for structural and geotechnical logging where possible. In orientated core, half 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, 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 were then submitted to the laboratory and pulverised to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay at ALS Laboratories in Perth (Au-ICP22).

	what method, etc.).	Diamond Drilling Diamond drilling is also being undertaken by Ausdrill with a truck mounted KWL1600. Drilling is initially HQ3 and dropping to NQ3 if ground conditions require.
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 recover 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. Diamond Drilling HQ and NQ triple tube (HQ3 and NQ3) drilling has been undertaken to maximise drilling recovery. 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 within the mineralised zones. At this stage, no 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. Diamond core is photographed and stored in core 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. _	RC Drilling Every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub- sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter.

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’. Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored by the laboratory and by the company upon assay result receival. All QAQC is deemed to have passed internal DRE standards.
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. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data.	Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite database. LMDD001 was drilled as a twin of LMRC005 approximately 1m north. Sampling of the drill hole has yet to be finalised. 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 handheld Garmin GPS (+/- 3m). 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 EZ Gyro. A reading was undertaken every ~18thmetre with an accuracy of +/- 1°.
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	Drilling was undertaken at a sub-perpendicular angle to the interpreted strike and dip of any interpreted mineralised structures or lithologies. Lithologies generally are steeply dipping (~70-80°) and thus true widths of mineralisation will have to be extrapolated from any assay results.
