MANGAROON GOLD REVIEW AND FURTHER CONSOLIDATION – MANGAROON 100%
HIGHLIGHTS
• A six-month review into the high-grade gold at Mangaroon has identified significant potential in a ~40km x
~20km focus area around the Mangaroon Shear Zone - a linkage structure between the crustal scale Minga
Bar and Edmund Faults. There are numerous historical workings along the >10km Shear Zone which has
remarkably only seen significant drilling (34 holes) over ~200m strike at the Star of Mangaroon mine (Figure 2).
• The historical drilling at the Star of Mangaroon includes significant (post mining) intercepts:
• MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 4m
•
MA17: 7m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 7m
• MA23: 2m @ 29.8 g/t Au from 19m
•
MA43: 1m @ 53.0 g/t Au from 18m
• SMC07: 4m @ 18.7 g/t Au from 18m
•
SMC09: 4m @ 16.4 g/t Au from 14m
• Rock chips from historical workings within the focus area include:
• MNRK0515: 74.8 g/t Au (Diamond)
•
TPRK05: 41.7 g/t Au (Two Peaks)
• SM7: 121.2 g/t Au, 179 g/t Ag (Popeye)
•
RNCYD048: 53.0 g/t Au, 552 g/t Ag (Popeye)
• The Lead Gold Mine (M09/91), the last remaining mining lease within the area, has now been conditionally
acquired from an unrelated third party*. Dreadnought now has 100% ownership of all significant historical
workings around the Mangaroon Shear Zone. The Lead Gold Mine has never been drilled.
• Significant ultrafine soils geochemical and stream sediment surveys are being undertaken over the focus area.
• RC drilling will commence in August 2023 at the Star of Mangaroon, the Lead Gold Mine, Cullen’s Find, Two
Peaks and Diamond following the completion of the current Resource focussed drilling at the Yin ironstones.
• Drilling at the Yin ironstones, the C1-C7 carbonatites and metallurgical studies ongoing.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a six-month review
into the high-grade gold potential, and acquired* the Lead Gold Mine, at Mangaroon in the Gascoyne Region of
Western Australia.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The Gascoyne remains one of the most underexplored
terrains, with minimal cover, in all of Western Australia. The results of this review
underscores our belief that this region will continue to deliver at and near surface
opportunities across a range of commodities. Having now consolidated the historical
workings around the Star of Mangaroon, we are well positioned to progress a
significant high grade gold opportunity to our portfolio.”

*Cautionary Statement: Dreadnought has entered into a binding agreement with an unrelated, third party
to acquire 100% of the Lead Gold Mine. The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions
prior to completion. The Lead Gold Mine is not yet owned by Dreadnought. Conditions precedent are to
be satisfied prior to completion.

SNAPSHOT – MANGAROON GOLD
Mangaroon Gold is 100% Owned by Dreadnought
• Over 5,000sq kms of highly prospective ground, with minimal historical and no modern exploration.
• Initial focus areas is a ~40km x ~20km focus area around the Mangaroon Shear Zone - a linkage structure
between the crustal scale Minga Bar and Edmund Faults.
• There are numerous historical workings along the >10km Shear Zone which has remarkably only seen
drilling over ~200m at the Star of Mangaroon mine.
No Modern Exploration
• All historical workings and gold occurrences were discovered by pastoralists and prospectors over
outcropping mineralisation.
• No detailed geophysical, or geochemical surveys undertaken.
• Limited drilling, with only shallow drilling over ~200m strike at the Star of Mangaroon in the 1990s and
a handful of shallow drill holes at Two Peaks (800m), Cullen’s (352m) and Pritchard (2 holes, unverified).
Genuine Camp Scale Potential
• Five historical mines developed on outcropping mineralisation and dozens of gold occurrences along
highly prospective structural corridors.
• Majority of historical workings cover an ~800km2 area within Dreadnought’s consolidated land holding.
Significant, Step-change, Growth Potential
• Dreadnought will deploy modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation
under shallow cover.
• Target generation and definition work is underway with results in August 2023
• RC drilling will commence in August 2023 with further drilling in November 2023.
Shallow, High-grade, Au-Ag Potential
• Historical drill results include:
•
MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 4m

Gold is a Long-term, Strategic, Global Asset During Uncertain Times
• Gold is a long-term, strategic, global asset that provides a store of value in uncertain times. With banking
sector uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and a challenging economic environment, gold’s role as a safe
haven has come to the fore.
• Demand for gold ETFs is strong as is Central Bank buying of physical gold.

Mangaroon Gold Review
Dreadnought began the consolidation of the Mangaroon region in late 2020, initially to pursue the nickel and highgrade gold potential which had been identified by Allan McDonald, a pastoralist who owned Mangaroon Station.
The completion of the current Resource focussed drilling at the Yin ironstones provides a window of opportunity
to focus on the high-grade gold opportunity at Mangaroon.
Over the past six months, Dreadnought has undertaken a review of the high-grade gold potential within the
consolidated land holding. This has consisted of:
-
Review of historic, publicly available information;
Discussions with pastoralists and prospectors who have worked the area over the years;
Discussions with industry geologists who have explored the ground in the past; and
Acquisition of detailed magnetic data (ongoing).
This is the first-time information on the historical workings and gold occurrences from such a wide range of sources
has been compiled and has resulted in highlighting the significant scale of gold mineralisation along the >10km long
Mangaroon Shear Zone - a significant splay structure linking the Minga Bar and Edmund Faults. Importantly, no
modern exploration has been undertaken (Figure 2). Remarkably only ~200m of drilling has been undertaken along
the >10km Shear Zone.
Occurrences such as Popeye with rock chips including (SM7: 121.2 g/t Au, 179 g/t Ag and RNCYD048: 53.0 g/t Au,
552 g/t Ag), the
recently acquired Lead
Gold Mine* (rock chips
pending, but significant
visible gold identified),
Diamond Gold Mine
(MNRK0515: 74.8 g/t
Au) and Mitchell’s Find
(RNLYD029: 16.4 g/t
Au, 126 g/t Ag) have
never been drilled.

Star of Mangaroon
The Star of Mangaroon mine has been the largest historic gold producer in the Gascoyne region.
Between 1960 and 1983 the mine produced 7,464 oz at an average grade of 34.8g/t Au1. The mine
was discovered in 1956 by the local pastoralist, Allan McDonald. Most of the gold production was
mined from underground with the lowest extraction level ~90m below surface.
The Two Peaks mine is located ~9kms northwest of the Star of Mangaroon. The small open pit
produced ~5,000 oz at a grade of ~7.9 g/t Au1.
The Star of Mangaroon has received little exploration work since its discovery. Drilling undertaken in
the 1990s produced significant results including:
• MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 4m
•
MA17: 7m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 7m
• MA23: 2m @ 29.8 g/t Au from 19m
•
MA43: 1m @ 53.0 g/t Au from 18m
• SMC07: 4m @ 18.7 g/t Au from 18m
•
SMC09: 4m @ 16.4 g/t Au from 14m
The majority of historical drilling is within 50m of the surface with only one hole drilled below 100m
which returned 4m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 176m (STMRC005) and highlights the potential of the lode to continue
at depth (Figure 3).

Next Steps
With historical exploration in the region dominated by pastoralists and prospectors, there has been
no significant modern exploration undertaken over the now consolidated land holding. All the known
gold occurrences were mineralised outcrops, in an area dominated by shallow colluvial cover. There
is significant opportunity for further discovery by:
-
expanding upon the known mineralisation, most of which will be drilled for the first time; and
deploying modern techniques to explore undercover to unlock the controlling mechanisms on
mineralisation in the region.
A detailed airborne magnetic survey (100m line spacing) has been flown, with even higher resolution
(50m line spacing) flown over the ~40km x ~20km focus area. Results are being received and
interpretation has commenced.
Target definition focused ultrafine soil survey is currently underway over the Mangaroon Shear Zone.
Additionally, target definition focused stream sediment sampling is nearly complete over the region
which may result in the identification of further gold camps.
RC drilling will commence over historical workings at the Star of Mangaroon, Diamond Gold Mine,
Lead Gold Mine, Two Peaks and Cullen’s Find in August 2023. A second round of drilling, to follow up
on the initial program and to test any targets defined following the geophysical and geochemical
surveys, is planned for November 2023.
Lead Gold Mine Key Commercial Terms with the Unrelated Vendor (subject to Completion)
Key commercial terms to acquire 100% of M09/091 are summarised below:
•
•

Mangaroon covers >5,300sq kms of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.
Part of the project is targeting Ni-Cu-PGE and is subject to an earn-in with First Quantum Minerals Ltd
(“FQM”) (earning up to 70%) – Figure 5. The region is host to high-grade gold mineralisation at the
Bangemall/Cobra and Star of Mangaroon gold mining centres and the high NdPr:TREO ratio Yin and
Yangibana REE deposits.
Dreadnought has located outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins along the Star of
Mangaroon Shear, Edmund and Minga Bar Faults, high-grade REE ironstones, similar to those under
development at Yangibana, REE-P2O5-Nb2O5-TiO2-Sc mineralised carbonatites and outcropping high
tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides at the Money Intrusion.
Dreadnought has already successfully delivered:
-
an initial independent JORC Inferred Resource of 14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (ASX 28 Dec 2022) covering
only 3kms of the 43kms of strike within the Yin Ironstone Complex; and
an Exploration Target of 50-100Mt at 0.9-1.3% TREO (ASX 13 Feb 2023) estimated over the remaining
40 kms of strike within the Yin Ironstone Complex.

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 1900’s which have seen no modern exploration.
Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale,
Proterozoic Cu-Au-Ag-Bi-Sb-Co system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar
to Cloncurry / Mt Isa in Queensland and Tennant Creek in the
Northern Territory.
Mangaroon Ni-Cu-PGE JV & REE Au 100% Project
Mangaroon is a first mover opportunity covering ~5,300 kms
located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the vastly
underexplored Gascoyne Region of WA. Part of the project is
targeting Ni-Cu-PGE and is subject to a joint venture with First Quantum Minerals (earning up to 70%). The joint
venture area contains outcropping high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE blebby sulphides at the Money Intrusion. Dreadnought’s
100% owned areas contain outcropping high-grade gold bearing quartz veins including the historic Star of
Mangaroon and Diamond’s gold mines, along the Edmund and Minga Bar Faults and outcropping high-grade REE
ironstones and seven carbonatite intrusions which may be the source of the regions rare earth mineralisation.
Dreadnought has delivered an initial JORC Inferred Resource over just 3kms Yin REE Ironstone Complex delivering
14.36Mt @ 1.13% TREO (30% NdPr:TREO Ratio) (ASX 28 Dec 2022) with an additional 40 strike kilometres still to be
tested.
Bresnahan HREE and Au Project
Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises ~3,700 sq kms
covering over 200kms strike along the Bresnahan Basin / Wyloo Group unconformity. Bresnahan is prospective for
unconformity related heavy rare earth (“HREE”) deposits similar to Browns Range HREE deposits and mesothermal
lode gold similar to Paulsen’s Au-Ag-Sb deposits along strike.
Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Bresnahan Basin had only been explored for unconformity uranium with
limited exploration for mesothermal gold. Bresnahan is a first mover opportunity to explore for unconformity HREE.
Central Yilgarn Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & Iron Ore Project
Central Yilgarn is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~1,600 sq
kms covering ~150km of strike along the majority of the Illaara, Yerilgee and Evanston greenstone belts. Central
Yilgarn is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits, VMS base metals, komatiite hosted nickel
sulphides and critical metals including Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum.
Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Central Yilgarn was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and
remains highly prospective for iron ore.

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
Sampling
techniques
JORC Code explanation
•
•
•
•
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.
Commentary
Historical Rock Chips
Quality of assay data and lab techniques are
unknown and should be treated as indicative.
Further work will be undertaken to confirm
historical prospects and mineralised occurrences.
Special attention is drawn to WAMEX reports:

Historical Drilling
MA1-28 (Balde Exploration 1988: A24641):
Every meter a ~2kg sample (split) was
subsampled into a plastic bag via a two-tier riffle
splitter. A meter was logged geologically and “the
most promising drill intersections” were sent to
Australian Assay Laboratories in Perth for gold
determination by fire assay and a AAS finish.
(it is worth noting in the geological discussion that
“It was virtually impossible to distinguish the
orebody from the barren biotite gneiss in rock
chips” and the impact that would have on their
selective sampling approach)
MA29-43 Welcome Stranger
WAMEX Report A43137
Mining
1995:
Every meter a ~1-2kg sample (split) was
subsampled into a calico bag via a three-tier riffle
splitter.
A four meter composite sample was made from
the bulk reject material and sent to Genalysis
Laboratories in Perth for determination of gold “at
ppm levels” using an aqua regia digest and flame
atomic absorption spectrometry (B/AAS) to
determine gold values.
If the 4 composite produced a godl value >0.09
g/t Au, then the 1m splits were collected and sent
to Genalysis Laboratories in Perth for

(it is worth noting in the geological discussion that
“In holes MA29-33 the gold anomalies reflecting
a fine stockwork or disseminated type of
mineralisation. In all the other drill holes which
encountered anomalous gold values the
mineralised rock could not be distinguished from
host rock in the drill chips”)
STMRC001 and 005 (Fox Annual Reports and
ASX Announcements):
No details provided asides from discussion of
some results and collar details of two holes. No
further details could be verified, including drill
holes undertaken at Prichard which produced 3m
@ 10g/t Au from a quartz vein.
SM1-9 (Anthony Stehn)
No detailed information asides from collar and
survey details and assay results.
Drilling
techniques
•
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
face-sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
Historical Drilling
All historical drilling reported was completed with
Reverse Circulation drilling.
