ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 3 June 2026
Metzke’s North Discovery — Illaara Gold Project
HIGHLIGHTS
• Assays have been received for the remaining 34 holes of a 57-hole (~4,800m) RC program at Metzke’s Find, part of the 100%
owned Illaara Gold Project (“Illarra”). The extensional program focused on extending the current Resource (14,900 oz @ 6.8
g/t Au, 72% Indicated) and on confirming an offset extension to the north of a Proterozoic dyke that was previously considered
to terminate the Metzke’s Find deposit (“Metzke’s North”).
• Initial drilling has discovered the Metzke’s North offset extension currently covering ~150m strike which remains open to the
north and at depth. Intercepts include (* indicates holes previously reported):
MZRC143: 4m @ 6.6 g/t Au from 87m including 1m @ 23.1 g/t Au from 88m
MZRC151: 1m @ 17.4 g/t Au from 53m *MZRC103: 10m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 20m
MZRC135: 13m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 20m, including 1m @ 4.9 g/t Au from 32m
MZRC140: 7m @ 0.7 g/t Au from 13m including 1m @ 2.4 g/t Au from 13m
• In addition, extensional drilling at Metzke’s Find continued to deliver intercepts outside the current Resource, including:
MZRC162: 3m @ 3.1 g/t Au from 11m MZRC159: 2m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 24m
*MZRC123: 7m @ 49.9 g/t Au from 67m *MZRC123: 3m @ 1.8 g/t Au from 78m
*MZRC119: 5m @ 23.5 g/t Au from 67m *MZRC121: 2m @ 3.3 g/t Au from 40m
• All results are outside the already high-grade Resource. This will further update and upgrade the Metzke’s Find Resource and
study for open pit and underground. The Resource update and upgrade will be in July 2026 and an updated study thereafter.
• An RC and diamond rig will mobilise in July 2026 to: extend Metzke’s North; extend Metzke’s Find at depth; and produce
material for metallurgical and geotechnical studies.
Dreadnought Resources Ltd (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results from Resource extension
drilling at Metzke’s Find and the Discovery of Metzke’s North, part of the 100% owned Illaara Gold
Project, in the Yilgarn region of WA.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Our Resource extension drilling program continues to deliver significant
gold intercepts outside the current Resource. Importantly, this program has confirmed the Metzke’s North discovery, extending over 150m
strike and remaining open to the north and at depth, both of which will be further tested in July 2026. While it is still early days, we now have
a handle on Metzke’s North to guide our future activities and to define a Resource.
We are now updating and
upgrading the Resource, with
plans to undertake an initial
study and finalise approval
related work.
Advancing Metzke’s Find towards
development is a key component
of our expanded Finding More
Gold, Faster strategy and feeds
directly into becoming a self-
funded explorer by adding near
term production ounces. Our
high-grade Metzke’s Find
Resource is a great commercial
opportunity that is already
receiving inbound interest.”

Overview of Metzke’s Find Drilling Program
Metzke’s Find is comprised of historic workings containing ~20 shafts over ~700m of strike. In 2023, Dreadnought declared a
shallow, high-grade Resource of 14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au (72% Indicated).
Historically, mineralisation was thought to terminate at a cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke located just north of the historic
workings. Recent drilling has confirmed mineralisation over ~150m strike north of those workings with significant intercepts
including MZRC103: 10m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 20m including 2m @ 5.8 g/t Au from 22m and MZRC143: 4m @ 6.6 g/t
Au from 87m including 1m @ 23.1 g/t Au from 88m. Importantly Metzke’s North remains open along strike and at depth.
A total of 57 holes (~4,800m) were drilled to extend the Resource along strike and at depth and to upgrade even more of the
Resource to Indicated. Results have been received for all holes with results including:
MZRC123: 7m @ 49.9 g/t Au from 67m MZRC123: 3m @ 1.8 g/t Au from 78m
MZRC119: 5m @ 23.5 g/t Au from 67m MZRC121: 2m @ 3.3 g/t Au from 40m
MZRC162: 3m @ 3.1 g/t Au from 11m MZRC159: 2m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 24m
MZRC124: 5m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 103m MZRC121: 2m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 6m
All results are outside the already high-grade Resource (14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au, 72% Indicated) and will provide further positive
input into the updated and upgraded Resource and study for Metzke’s Find (open pit and underground) in July 2026.
The coarse-grained nature of gold
mineralisation was recently
confirmed through metallurgical
test work which produced strong
gravity recovery (averaging 78.5%
with combined gravity and CIL
recoveries averaging 98.9%). All
recent drilling at Metzke’s Find has
been assayed by Photon Assay.
This is a more reliable
methodology for this style of
mineralisation which was
unavailable to previous drilling.
Encouragingly, the shallow drilling
confirmed that the historic
workings are less extensive than
previously thought, with only
three shallow holes intersecting
workings. A LIDAR survey of the
workings is scheduled for June
2026 which will further assist with
mapping the workings. This work
will also assist with Resource and
study work.

Background on Metzke’s Find
Metzke’s Find was discovered by a prospecting party in 1911. The remote location, being 160km from the nearest railhead, and
lack of readily available fresh water limited follow up work. Metzke’s Find was worked on a few occasions over the following
decades for a recorded production of ~890 oz @ ~40 g/t Au. Metzke’s Find comprises ~20 small, historic shafts over ~700m of
strike.
The only significant exploration at Metzke’s Find was in the late 1980s and early 1990s by junior gold explorers who drilled shallow
percussion holes (average ~24m) which recorded a number of attractive results including:
MZ07: 5m @ 4.0 g/t Au from 11m MZ25: 1m @ 18.0 g/t Au from 22m
MZ19: 2m @ 15.7 g/t Au from 19m MZ23: 3m @ 11.7 g/t Au from 18m
Dreadnought acquired Metke’s Find in 2020 and has completed RC and diamond drilling which also delivered significant results
including:
MZRC022: 4m @ 10.5 g/t Au from 19m MZRC017: 7m @ 7.5 g/t Au from 51m
MZRC019: 4m @ 19.9 g/t Au from 45m MZRC016: 3m @ 21.0 g/t Au from 85m
Mineralisation at Metzke’s Find is hosted within a series of stacked, moderately dipping quartz lodes up to 4m thick that occasionally
overlap hosted within a mafic sequence with sulphidic
interflow sediments.
The main deposit scale structural control is a north-
south trending shear zone that consists of a series of
steep (70–90˚) southwest dipping shear planes and
parallel quartz veins with dominate sinistral reverse
movement and moderate to steep (55–70˚) west
dipping schistosity. The intersection between shear
planes and shear schistosity controls an apparent north
shoot plunge.
In 2023, a Resource (72% Indicated) was declared with
the majority of mineralisation being contained within
140m of surface. The current Resource is shown below.
Metallurgical testwork from Metzke’s Find has
confirmed that mineralisation is free-milling (non-
refractory) coarse gold and amendable to conventional
extraction methods including a strong gravity recovery
(averaging 78.5%) with combined gravity and CIL
recoveries averaging 98.9%.

Background on Illaara
Illaara is a consolidated landholding covering ~800km2 and ~70km strike of a greenstone belt located ~190km from Kalgoorlie.
Illaara is one of the most underexplored greenstone belts in the Yilgarn Craton and is situated nearby to mills at Davyhurst
(OBM.ASX) and Bottle Creek (Aurenne).
Historically gold was worked at Metzke’s Find and the nearby Lawrence’s Find in the early 1900s. However, the remoteness,
lack of water and access hindered early prospecting.
Recent exploration within Illaara was spurred on by a ~55km long Au-As-Sb anomaly generated from regional regolith
sampling by the Geological Survey
of Western Australia which led to
Newmont acquiring Illaara in
2016. Prior to Newmont, iron
ore companies held the project as
part of the 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.
Dreadnought acquired Illaara
from Newmont in 2019 and has
consolidated the rest of the
greenstone belt through a series
of acquisitions. Early drilling by
Dreadnought focused on the
historical workings at Metzke’s
Find resulting in a high-grade
Resource (14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t
Au) that remains open along
strike and at depth. Given the lack
of systematic exploration, Illaara
presents a strong opportunity to
make a major gold discovery
within the world-renowned
Yilgarn Craton.

Illaara relative to other gold
operations and major players in the

Snapshot — Illaara Gold (100%)
Illaara Gold is Large Scale and Underexplored
• Illaara covers over 70 strike km and ~800km2 of the Illaara Greenstone Belt within the richly endowed Yilgarn
Craton of Western Australia.
• The Illaara Greenstone Belt is one of the most under explored and under drilled greenstone belts in the
Yilgarn providing plenty of space for a major discovery.
• Covering ~800km2 is a significant consolidated landholding within a tightly held and highly prospective gold
province.
Consolidation Provides for First Ever Modern Exploration
• All historical workings and known gold occurrences relate to outcropping mineralisation. There has been
minimal historical and modern exploration due to remoteness and iron ore exploration.
• 2026 will see the first ever systematic air core drilling program undertaken across the belt, a drilling program
that previous owners Newmont wanted to undertake prior to Dreadnought acquiring the project in 2019
and consolidating the remainder of the belt.
Significant, Step-change, Growth Potential
• Illaara contains multiple highly prospective structural corridors with known gold anomalism providing near
term drilling targets and discovery potential.
• Dreadnought is deploying modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation
under shallow cover.
Shallow, High-grade Gold at Metzke’s Find
• The Resource at Metzke’s contains shallow, high-grade gold which provides a strong foundation for the
project.
• Mineralisation at Metzke’s Find remains open along strike and at depth.

Self-Funded Explorer Strategy — Pathway to Production
• Dreadnought’s strategy is to transform into a self-funded explorer. This includes a high-grade open pit at the
Metzke’s Find where funding, development, haulage & processing are outsourced to third parties. This is a
common model in WA given the robust gold price. In this way, there is reduced reliance on market funding
and internal cashflows are aimed at making life-changing discoveries.

Mangaroon Project
Mangaroon covers ~5,000km2
and is located 250km south-east of
Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. Since 2020, Dreadnought has
identified three major focus areas within the Mangaroon Project:
Mangaroon Gold (100%)
Outcropping gold mineralisation was first identified and mined at
Mangaroon by local pastoralists and prospectors in the 1960s and has
seen no modern gold exploration. Dreadnought has consolidated this
gold field and is undertaking the first modern exploration across the
region which has identified five camp scale gold opportunities at
Bordah, High Range, Alma, Minga Bar and Star of Mangaroon.
In addition, the project contains granted mining leases that provide an
opportunity for cashflow including the Star of Mangaroon Mine where
Dreadnought has delivered a 23,400 oz Resource at 12.8 g/t Au (84%
Indicated)
Gifford Creek Critical Metals (100%)
Dreadnought discovered the Yin Ironstones and the Gifford Creek
Carbonatite in 2021. Since then, the Gifford Creek Carbonatite
Complex has emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing,
potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include:
• Discovery of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex and delivery of a 30.0
Mt @ 1.04% TREO Resource over only ~4.6km – including a
Measured and Indicated Resource of 26.3 Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX
30 Nov 2023).
• Discovery of the globally significant, Nb-REE-P-Ti-Sc enriched
Gifford Creek Carbonatite (ASX 7 Aug 2023).
• Delivery of a large, independent initial Resource of 10.8 Mt @ 1.00% TREO at the Gifford Creek Carbonatites, containing a
range of critical minerals including rare earths, niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium (ASX 28 Aug 2023).
• Discovery of Stinger Nb-REE-P-Ti-Sc-Zr bearing carbonatite and delivery of the Stinger Niobium Exploration Target (ASX 3 Mar
2025, 29 Sept 2025).
Money Intrusion Ni-Cu-PGEs (Teck Earn-In)
The Money Intrusion is a ~45km long mafic intrusion prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphides. In 2023, Dreadnought discovered
high tenor nickel-copper massive sulphides confirming the potential of this new system. Dreadnought entered in to a $15M Farm-In
and Joint Venture agreement with Teck Resources, a leading Canadian resource company, to earn up to 75% of the Money Intrusion
tenements.
Illaara Gold Project (100%)
Illaara is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~800km2
covering ~70km of strike
along the Illaara greenstone belts. Illaara was acquired off Newmont in 2019 as an early stage exploration project prospective for
typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits. Dreadnought has delivered a 14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au Resource at Metzke’s Find
(72% Indicated). Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, Illaara was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly
prospective for iron ore amongst other commodities.
Kimberley Cu-Au-Sb Project (Tarraji 80% / Yampi 100%)
Tarraji-Yampi covers ~420km2
is located only 85km from Derby in the West Kimberley region of WA and was locked up as a
Defence Reserve since 1978. The project has outcropping mineralisation and historical workings which have seen no modern
exploration.
In 2021, Dreadnought discovered high grade Cu-Au massive sulphides at Orion with results to date indicating a large scale,
Proterozoic Cu-Au VMS system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to DeGrussa and Monty in the Bryah Basin.
In addition, the project contains outcropping high-grade Cu-Ag-Sb-Bi Veins at Rough Triangle and Grant’s Find.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition — Table 1 Report Template
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 was undertaken to produce
samples for assay.
RC Drilling
Two sampling techniques were utilised for the RC drilling, 1m
metre splits directly from the rig sampling system for each
metre and 3m composite sampling from spoil piles. Samples
submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site
geologist.
1m Splits
From every metre drilled a 2–3kg sample (split) was sub-
sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from each
metre of drilling.
3m Composites
All remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in
buckets from the sampling system and neatly deposited in
