Dreadnought to Join WA Critical Minerals Delegation to North America

Dreadnought Resources will join the Western Australian critical minerals delegation to Canada and the United States, led by the Hon David Michael, Minister for Mines and Petroleum.

The visit includes attendance at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2026 Convention in Toronto from 1-4 March, followed by meetings in New York and Washington DC.

The delegation brings together Western Australian companies playing a key role in supplying the materials needed for clean energy, advanced manufacturing and defence capability. It comes at a time of deepening engagement between Australia and North America under the Australia-US critical minerals framework, with a shared focus on strengthening and diversifying supply chains.

Dreadnought’s inclusion reflects the scale and strategic relevance of its expanding gold and critical metals portfolio. At the Gifford Creek Carbonatite, one of the largest carbonatite complexes globally, the Company holds a significant rare earth and niobium system, reinforcing its position in the growing global drive to secure reliable critical mineral supply.

Commenting on the mission, Minister Michael said:

“Western Australia is recognised globally as a reliable and ethical supplier of the critical materials needed to support clean energy, defence capability, and advanced manufacturing.

This visit will strengthen our long-standing relationships with allied partners Canada and the United States and support Western Australian companies seeking investment and offtake partners for major critical minerals projects.

With both Canada and the US working to diversify supply chains, Western Australia is exceptionally well placed to help meet their needs and to deepen collaboration across our shared economic and strategic priorities.”

Managing Director Dean Tuck said participation in the delegation provides a valuable platform to strengthen international relationships.

“Western Australia has a strong story to tell. We look forward to contributing to that conversation and strengthening relationships that support long-term growth in both gold and critical metals.”

Dreadnought looks forward to participating in discussions across Toronto, New York and Washington DC and to supporting continued international collaboration for Western Australia’s resources sector.
