ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 13 March 2024
Star of Mangaroon Camp Scale Gold Prospect Expands to ~15km x 10km
HIGHLIGHTS
•
The Star of Mangaroon camp scale gold prospect (“Star of Mangaroon”) continues to expand with
each work program. What was originally thought to be a ~10km long shear zone with historical
workings has now expanded to a ~15km x 10km zone with strong gold-in-stream sediments and
pathfinder (Ag-As-Bi-Mo-Sb-Te-W) anomalism.
•
The recent stream sediment surveys have defined camp scale anomalism over the historical
workings, recently generated targets (ASX: 12 February 2024) and new areas of interest to the south
and west. Anomalism over these new areas covers a major structural corridor coinciding with
broader and stronger gold and pathfinder results.
•
A total of 12 targets have been generated and defined to date in addition to the 8 historic alluvial
and shallow hard rock mines.
•
Surface sampling programs at the Star of Mangaroon have commenced which are expected to both
generate new targets and to define drill targets. Results are expected in April and May 2024.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results of
target generation soil sampling around the Star of Mangaroon camp scale gold prospect
(100%), located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Systematic modern exploration over our consolidated gold
position at Mangaroon continues to bear fruit, supporting our conviction that Mangaroon has the potential to deliver significant
gold discoveries. The expanding gold-in-soil and pathfinder footprint of the Star of Mangaroon continues to grow and remains
open in several directions. An intensive re-interpretation of the geology of the area on the back of our detailed surveys including
airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, combined with the learnings from our target generation and target testing work,
has identified over 12 targets. With our new structural interpretation, we are seeing strong evidence of an intrusion-related gold
system with an orogenic overprint, similar to the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska and Canada. This is groundbreaking work in this
underexplored region and will assist greatly in target definition and testing throughout 2024.”

SNAPSHOT – MANGAROON GOLD (100%)
Mangaroon Gold is 100% Owned by Dreadnought
•
Over 5,000km2 of highly prospective ground.
•
Initial focus area is a ~40km x ~20km area around the expanding ~15km x 10km Star of Mangaroon camp
scale prospect which is situated over linkage structures between the crustal scale Minga Bar and Edmund
Faults with several phases of intrusions.
•
Numerous historical workings along the Shear Zone have only seen limited shallow drilling along ~200m of
strike at the Star of Mangaroon.
Consolidation Provides for First Ever Modern Exploration
•
All historical workings and gold occurrences were discovered by pastoralists and prospectors over
outcropping mineralisation. There has been minimal historical and modern exploration due to fractured,
small scale ownership. Large scale modern exploration is now being undertaken for the first time under
Dreadnought’s consolidated ownership.
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 are contained within an ~800km2 area of Dreadnought’s consolidated land
holding.
Significant, Step-change, Growth Potential
•
Dreadnought is deploying modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation
under shallow cover.
•
Initial geochemical and geophysical surveys have generated new prospects with stronger and larger signatures
than the historical mines, including the region’s largest high-grade producer at the Star of Mangaroon.
Shallow, High-grade, Au-Ag Potential
•
•
The Star of Mangaroon contains significant shallow high-grade gold intersections including: (ASX: 6 Jun 2023, 4 Sep
2023, 11 Dec 2023):
MA10: 4m @ 26.0 g/t Au from 9m
MA17: 7m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 21m
SOMRC004: 9m @ 13.4 g/t Au from 9m
SOMRC005: 7m @ 23.0 g/t Au from 53m
SOMRC006: 8m @ 15.5 g/t Au from 89m
SOMDD001: 1.4m @ 87.9 g/t Au from 16m
Rock chip results from regional prospects and historical workings 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)
RNLYD048: 30.1 g/t Au, 552 g/t Ag (Popeye)
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.

Star of Mangaroon Camp Scale Gold Prospect
The Star of Mangaroon was originally thought to be centered around the historical Star of Mangaroon gold mine and the string of
historical workings running for ~12kms from Popeye up through Pritchard Well (Figure 2). In 2023, Dreadnought undertook wide
spaced (200m, 400m or 800m x 50m) ultrafine fraction soil surveys focused on target generation within and around the Star of
Mangaroon Shear Zone. Extensional survey lines subsequently identified strong gold and pathfinder anomalies (eg. Tiger and Rory)
well away from the trend along the line of historic workings.
Late in 2023, an infill (100m x 50m) target definition soil survey and further extensional, wide spaced (800m x 50m) soil surveys
highlighted additional strong and broad gold and pathfinder anomalies. This work has significantly expanded the footprint of the
Star of Mangaroon and further enhances the region’s prospectivity and validates the modern exploration approach achieved through
consolidation.
In addition, a recently completed stream sediment program over the Star of Mangaroon has expanded the camp scale prospect to
~15km x 10km. First pass wide spaced (800m x 50m) soil surveys have commenced over these new areas. In addition, detailed
mapping, surface sampling and infill target definition work has commenced over these target areas. This exciting work program will
generate new targets and define drill targets. Results of this program are expected in April / May 2024.

Background on Mangaroon Gold (100%)
Dreadnought began the consolidation of the Mangaroon region in late 2020, to pursue the nickel and high-grade gold potential
which had been identified by the Mangaroon Station pastoralist, Allan McDonald. Dreadnought’s consolidated ownership has for
the first time allowed for a comprehensive review of the high-grade gold potential in the region.
This is the first time information on the historical workings and gold occurrences from such a wide range of sources has been
compiled. Comprehensive reviews by Dreadnought have included: collating unpublished records; rock chipping and mapping of
historical workings; a first ever detailed airborne magnetics survey; ultrafine fraction soil surveys; and RC and diamond drilling at
historical workings.
This work is ongoing and to date has highlighted the potential for the area to host an intrusion-related gold system with an
orogenic overprint, similar to the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska and Canada.
Features from the work to date include (Figure 3):
•
Definition of gold-in-soil anomalies with As-Bi-Mo-Sb-Te-W+/-Ag-Cu-Pb pathfinder associations over the main historical
mines (Star of Mangaroon, Two Peaks, Pritchard Well, Lead Gold Mine).
•
Generation of 12 new targets with gold-in-soil and variable As-Bi-Mo-Sb-Te-W+/-Ag-Cd-In-Pb-Zn pathfinder anomalies.
Tiger stands out for having a stronger gold (317ppb Au) and pathfinder anomaly than the Star of Mangaroon itself which is
the main historical mine in the region.
•
Extension of anomalism at Popeye to >500m under shallow cover. Popeye contains a small shaft and rock chips to 121.2 g/t
Au, 179 g/t Ag (SM7) and 30.1 g/t Au, 552 g/t Ag (RNLYD048).
•
Definition of drill targets at the undrilled Diamond Gold Mine, rock chips to 74.8 g/t Au (MNRK0515), Mitchell’s Find, rock
chips to 16.4 g/t Au, 126 g/t Ag (RNLYD029) and ineffectively drilled Two Peaks, rock chips to 41.7g/t Au (TPRK05).

Mangaroon covers >5,000km2 of the Mangaroon Zone in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia, the world’s
top investment jurisdiction as per the Investment Attractiveness Index published in the Fraser Institute’s Annual
Survey of Mining Companies. Part of the project is targeting Ni-Cu-Co-PGE and is subject to First Quantum Minerals
Ltd (“FQM”) earning up to 70%. The region is also host to high-grade gold mineralisation at the Bangemall/Cobra
and Star of Mangaroon gold mining centres. Finally, there are the high NdPr:TREO ratio ironstone REE deposits at
Yin and Yangibana which have the Gifford Creek Carbonatite as their source.
Dreadnought has already successfully delivered:
• An independent Resource of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO (83% Measured & Indicated) within the 43km long Yin
REE Ironstone Complex (ASX 30 Nov 2023).
• An initial independent Inferred Resource of 10.84Mt @ 1.00% TREO (ASX 28 Aug 2023) within the >17km long REE-
Nb-Ti-P-Sc Gifford Creek Carbonatite.
• Definition of >12 gold targets within the ~15km x 10km Star of Mangaroon where fractured, small scale
ownership has limited previous gold exploration, with only ~200m of the prospect having been drilled,
notwithstanding the high-grade, camp scale potential.
• Discovery of massive Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphides along the ~45km long Money Intrusion (First Quantum Minerals
earn-in) which contains high tenor magmatic mineralisation.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Kimberley Ni-Cu-Au Project (80/100%)
The project is located only 85kms 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 historic
workings 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 and Tennant
Creek.
Mangaroon Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE JV & Au/REE 100%
Project
Mangaroon covers ~5,000kms2 and is located 250kms
south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA.
At the Money Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE has been identified and is
subject to an earn-in by First Quantum Minerals (up to
70%). Dreadnought also has areas of outcropping highgrade gold including the historic Star of Mangaroon and
Diamonds gold mines. In addition, Mangaroon has
emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing,
potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include:
-
An Exploration Target estimated for the top 150m
of ~40km of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex (ASX
13 Feb 2023).
-
An independent Resource for Yin Ironstones Complex of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO over only ~4.6kms –
including a Measured and Indicated Resource of 26.3Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX 30 Nov 2023).
-
Regional source of rare earths at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite totaling ~17kms x ~1km (ASX 7 Aug 2023).
-
A large, independent initial Resource of 10.84Mt @ 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).
Bresnahan HREE-Au-U Project (100%)
Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises >3,700kms2
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, unconformity
and channel-hosted uranium (“U”) deposits and mesothermal lode gold similar to Paulsens Au-Ag-Sb deposits along
strike.
Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Bresnahan Basin had been successfully 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 (100%)
Central Yilgarn is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~1,400kms2
covering ~150km of strike along the majority of the Illaara, Yerilgee, South Elvire and Evanston greenstone belts.
Central Yilgarn is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits, VMS base metals, komatiitehosted nickel sulphides and critical metals including Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum.
Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Central Yilgarn was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and
remains highly prospective for iron ore.

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.
Soil Sampling
•

•
Soil samples were collected by Dreadnought and contractor
(OZEX Exploration Services) personnel on a 800x50m,
400x50m, 200x50m or 100x50m grid across the Project.
Samples were collected by digging a 30x30x10cm pit,
homogenising and then sieving and collection of a dry 200g 177µm sample.
Soils samples were submitted to Labwest (Perth) for Ultra
Fine Fraction (UFF) separation (<2µm) and analysis by Aqua
Regia ICP-MS & ICP-OES for determination of Au and 45
other elements.
Stream Sediment Sampling
Soil samples were collected by Dreadnought and contractor
(OZEX Exploration Services) personnel on a ~1 sample per
5 sq km drainage catchment across the Project, and infilled
to ~1 sample per 1 sq km drainage catchment in areas of
interest.
Samples were collected by digging multiple pits across active
drainage lines in areas with the most fine material and then
sieving and collection of a dry 200g -177µm sample.
