The past year has been another active one and we have made substantial progress on multiple fronts including: • • • • • • • • • Extending the Gifford Creek Carbonatite to >17km long with high-grade zones of Nb and REE. Drilling thick high-grade niobium at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite. Intersecting massive & disseminated sulphides long the 40km long Money Intrusion at the Mangaroon Ni-Cu project. Finalising an extensive and first-ever review over Mangaroon gold identifying multiple targets that are now starting to bear fruit. Acquiring & consolidating the Bresnahan U-Au-Sb- Pb project (100%). Identifying 16 camp scale lithium targets at Central Yilgarn and Mangaroon. Delivering a large, independent JORC Code 2012 Mineral Resource (“Resource”) at the Yin REE Ironstone Complex of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO (87% Measured & Indicated). Confirming that Yin can produce a high quality mixed rare earth carbonate, a major commercialisation milestone. Embarking on a strategy to be a self-funded explorer by potentially outsourcing the funding, development, haulage and processing of an open pit mine at Star of Mangaroon. Notwithstanding these achievements, it was not all smooth sailing as our share price reflects. In particular, rare-earth markets cooled considerably in the face of global economic uncertainty. The question is how we regain the ground lost on our share price and we have adopted four key strategies as outlined below: 1. Transform into a self-funded explorer: This involves a potential high-grade open pit at the Star of Mangaroon where we outsource funding, development, haulage & processing to third parties. This is a common model in WA given the robust gold price. Once successful, extend this model concept to Popeye, Two Peaks, Lead, Pritchard Well, etc. In this way, we reduce reliance on market funding and generate our own cashflow aimed at making life changing discoveries. 2. Progress Gifford Creek Carbonatite to a commercial assessment by undertaking low cost/high value add work: We need to determine whether the Gifford Creek Carbonatite niobium has the potential to deliver an economic Resource/Ore Reserve. Given infrastructure and mineralogy, preliminary work to date says this is possible. Once confirmed, we will have a decision to make regarding sole risking or joint venturing. 3. Discovery (100%): We have demonstrated ability in making discoveries. Our top 4 prospects across our 100% owned portfolio each have the potential to be life changing and are summarised below: • Mangaroon Camp Scale Au Prospect: 10km x 15km lithostructural setting with numerous historical gold workings and where first pass modern exploration has defined dozens of new gold and base metal targets. • Stinger Nb Prospect: a ~2.5km long zone of niobium mineralisation within the Gifford Creek Carbonatite with limited drilling having already identified significant saprolite and fresh carbonatite mineralisation. • Bordah Camp Scale Au Prospect: Similar lithostructural setting to the Star of Mangaroon Camp defined by stronger gold and pathfinder in streams anomalism with no previous record of exploration or prospecting. • High Range Camp Scale Au Prospect: >50km long highly prospective and unexplored lithostructural setting with some of the strongest gold in stream sediment anomalies at Mangaroon. 4. Commercialise our portfolio & make discoveries funded by third parties: The status on this front is currently outlined below: • Mangaroon REE/Critical Minerals (100%): contains a Resource of 40.82mt @ 1.03% TREO and is already global scale with plenty of upside; we are minimising holding costs while maximizing preparedness for an upturn in REE markets. • Mangaroon Ni-Cu (100%): has confirmed sulphide Ni-Cu in the 40km long Money Intrusion; joint venture discussions are well advanced. • Bresnahan U-HREE-Au-Sb-Pb (100%): uranium targets have been identified by global uranium companies; partial joint venture discussions are well advanced. • Tarraji-Yampi (75%/100%): confirmed sulphide Ni-Cu, strategic review underway. • Central Yilgarn (100%): multiple, confirmed high-grade gold, iron-ore and base metals targets, partial joint venture discussions are well advanced. In relation to the critical minerals at Mangaroon, this remains a long-life, strategically important, potential Tier 1 project in one of the world’s top investment jurisdictions being Western Australia (Investment Attractiveness Index published in the 2023 Fraser Institute’s Annual Survey of Mining Companies). In closing, we would like to thank our stakeholders including traditional owners, local communities, employees, joint venture partners, suppliers and other business partners. We also would take this opportunity to thank our fellow shareholders for your ongoing support. Paul Chapman Chairman Annual Report 2024 2 Directors’ Report Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the Group) consisting of Dreadnought Resources Limited (referred to hereafter as the Parent Entity, Dreadnought or the Company) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2024. DIRECTORS The following persons were Directors of the Company during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated: Paul Chapman (Non-executive Chairman) Appointed 9 April 2019 Dean Tuck (Managing Director) Appointed 9 April 2019 Philip Crutchfield (Non-executive Director) Appointed 13 September 2022 Robert Gee (Non-executive Director) Appointed 2 March 2023 PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were minerals exploration and development. There were no significant changes in the nature of activities of the Group during the year. DIVIDENDS No dividends have been declared or paid during the year (2023: Nil). OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION The net result of operations for the financial year was a loss of $6,319,382 (2023: $5,521,985). The net assets of the Group have increased by $1,196,113 during the financial year from $50,841,416 at 30 June 2023 to $52,037,529 at 30 June 2024. 3 Dreadnought Resources Ltd Directors’ Report continued REVIEW OF OPERATIONS The Group is an ASX-listed exploration and development company focussing on acquiring and exploring high-quality projects within the state of Western Australia. The Company’s strategy is to discover major deposits on these projects either by itself or in joint venture with major mining companies. The review addresses highlights and significant changes in state of affairs during the year and to date. Operational Highlights to 30 June 2024: MANGAROON Nb-REE (100%) • Mangaroon REE is a globally significant critical minerals complex with a combined Resource at Yin and the Gifford Creek Carbonatite of 40.82Mt @ 1.03% TREO. • ANSTO, a word-leading expert in processing critical and strategic metals, has successfully produced a high quality mixed rare earth carbonate from Yin concentrate. This is a milestone achievement in commercialisation for Yin and in progressing discussions with rare earth refiners. • The Nb-REE Gifford Creek Carbonatite has produced some of WA’s best niobium intercepts outside the Arunta Province and with strong niobium identified across multiple zones, we see the potential for Mangaroon to evolve as multi-commodity critical metals hub, within proximity to existing infrastructure. • The Company is focussed on extending known pyrochlore Nb mineralisation and to discover additional deposits. • Assay results from 4 holes of our 19 RC hole drilling program have already confirmed thick high-grade niobium intercepts. Au (100%) • Mangaroon is host to high-grade gold mineralisation at the Bangemall/Cobra and Star of Mangaroon gold mining centres which have seen minimal modern exploration. • We have identified a ~15km x 10km zone with strong gold-in-stream sediments and pathfinder (Ag-As-Bi-Mo-Sb-Te-W) anomalism and subsequent to 30 June 2024 acquired a strategic land holding to further consolidate this region. • An internal study on a conceptual open pit at Star of Mangaroon has underpinned commercialisation of these high-grade gold targets. The Company plans to become a self-funded explorer and by adopting a model whereby funding, development, haulage and processing are outsourced to third parties to generate cashflow to support life changing discoveries. • The Company has confirmed visual sulphides at Tiger and down hole geophysics has identified potential massive sulphides in off-hole conductors. Ni-Cu-PGE (100%) • Mangaroon hosts the fertile Ni-Cu-Co-PGE along the >45km long Money Intrusion. • An IP survey has confirmed the geophysical signatures of a significant new mineralised system. • Joint venture discussions are well advanced. TARRAJI-YAMPI Cu-Ag-Au-Co (80%/100%) • Tarraji-Yampi is located entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area, a Commonwealth Defence Reserve in the West Kimberley, ~80kms from the port of Derby. • Dreadnought was awarded a co-funded grant under the WA Governments’ merit-based Exploration Incentive Scheme for an induced polarization geophysical survey at Tarraji aiming to highlight additional Grant’s Find like CI-Au epithermal targets. • Four strong off-hole conductors were identified during the first phase of recent drilling. Two Orion offset targets and off-hole conductors (OR1 and OR2) are priority targets for follow up drilling. CENTRAL YILGARN Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals, and Iron Ore Project (100%) • Central Yilgarn covers four greenstone belts within the highly prolific Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia with significant gold, copper, nickel, lithium and iron ore potential. • A 13-hole RC program was completed to test 4 compelling gold targets at Viper, Leghorn, Chicken Little and Honey and anomalous gold mineralisation was intersected in all targets. Drilling at Chicken Little was particularly encouraging intersecting shallow, high-grade gold and silver. BRESNAHAN REE-HREE-Au-Sb-Pb (100%) Project (100%) Bresnahan is a conceptual unconformity heavy rare earth element (“HREE”) project containing >3,700kms2 of prospective ground. and assays from reconnaissance surface sampling have confirmed unconformity HREE mineralisation, similar to the Browns Range project. Partial joint venture discussions are well advanced.
