Lon more’s Find g

  • Two drilling programs have been completed at Longmore’s Find with significant results including:

  • LMRC005: 1m @ 100 g/t Au from 56m

  • LMRC014: 1m @ 5.8 g/t Au from 49m

  • LMRC025: 1m @ 5.7 g/t Au from 66m

  • A diamond twin of LMRC005 showed multiple quartz-sulphide veins in two main orientations indicating that the veins could be running subparallel to the drill direction.

  • RC drilling to is set to recommenced in February 2021 to test this new interpretation.

Metzke’s South

  • First pass RC fence line drilling was completed, 20 holes for 1,620m.

  • Drilling was designed to test the ~1.2 km long gold in soil anomaly extending south from Metzke’s Find and a ~1.5km long gold-in-soil anomaly identified along a splay lode to the southwest with associated pathfinder anomalism

  • Results are still pending and expected in February 2021.

Iron Ore

  • Illaara contains significant iron ore potential which was briefly explored by Portman Iron and then Cleveland Cliffs from 2008-2013:

  • High iron and low phosphorus grades compared with regional players

  • Same geology as the high iron, low phosphorus Mt Richardson development

  • Contains a ~75km long internal haul road

  • Some of the more advanced prospects include:

  • P-North: 29m @ 58.6% Fe, 8.3% SiO2, 3.4% Al2O3, 0.04% P, and 4.0% LOI from 6m • Incl. 16m @ 64.4% Fe, 2.4% SiO ~~2~~ , 1.3% Al ~~2~~ O3, 0.04% P and 3.7% LOI from 8m

  • Kings: 49m @ 55.7% Fe, 9.1% SiO2, 3.1% Al2O3, 0.04% P, and 4.0% LOI from 13m • Incl. 11m @ 62.7% Fe, 2.5% SiO2, 1.2% Al2O3, 0.05% P and 6.1% LOI from 48m

Proterozoic Mobile Belts: Large ~~Scale Ni-Cu-Au O ortunities pp~~

  • Proterozoic mobile belts are attractive geological provinces with the potential to host world class deposits across a range of commodities

  • Mangaroon compliments the Kimberley within Dreadnought’s project portfolio

  • Both have potential for Dreadnought’s target commodities of Ni, Cu and Au

  • Kimberley and Mangaroon have been historically underexplored despite outcropping mineralisation

  • Dreadnought has acquired a substantial first mover land package in both provinces

  • Mangaroon will contribute high quality Ni-Cu-PGE and Au targets to Dreadnought's target pipeline

  • The Kimberley is at the target testing phase with over 10 drill ready targets

  • Target generation work will commence at Mangaroon in January 2021 with an aim to define drill targets by July 2021
