Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results from recent drilling at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite, part of the 100% owned Mangaroon Nb-REE project, located in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The Gifford Creek Carbonatite has delivered the thickest and highest-grade intercepts to date. All this in a Tier 1 jurisdiction with ready access to infrastructure including sealed roads, ports, regional workforces and airports. We continue to see the potential for Mangaroon to evolve as a multicommodity critical metals hub with ready access to existing infrastructure.” Figure 1: Photo of Dreadnought Geologist Claudia Tomkins logging at the Stinger Zone. *Previously announced results, see ASX.DRE 19 August 2024 and 20 September 2024 dreadnoughtresources.com.au 1 ASX:DRE +61 (08) 9473 8345 info@dreres.com.au Unit 1, 4 Burgay Court Osborne Park WA 6017 ABN 40 119 031 864 Overview of Drilling Program: Nb-REE Gifford Creek Carbonatite The Gifford Creek Carbonatite and the Yin Ironstones together form one of the largest alkali-carbonatite complexes in the world (Figure 2). Carbonatite intrusions are known globally to host several different commodities including rare earths, niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium, often as separate deposits within the same intrusion. Examples of this include Mt Weld in Australia, Ngualla in Tanzania, Araxa in Brazil and Bayan Obo in China. Since the initial discovery of the Yin Ironstones and the Gifford Creek Carbonatite in 2021, Dreadnought’s focus has been on rare earths. To date only ~25% of the Gifford Creek Carbonatite has been tested and then only with wide spaced first pass drilling. Importantly, 3 zones of mineralisation have been confirmed (C3, Stinger and Rocky Road) with significant niobium intercepts in the Stinger Zone, including: CBRC176: 50m @ 0.9% Nb2O5 from 49m, including 20m @ 1.3% Nb2O5 from 56m CBRC085: 48m @ 0.8% Nb2O5 from 30m, including 36m @ 1.0% Nb2O5 from 39m CBRC111: 48m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 63m, including 9m @ 1.4% Nb2O5 from 72m CBRC125: 59m @ 0.6% Nb2O5 from 63m, including 19m @ 1.0% Nb2O5 from 99m CBRC138: 57m @ 0.6% Nb2O5 from 45m, including 3m @ 1.4% Nb2O5 from 90m Recent mineralogical work has confirmed the presence of coarse grained (>0.30mm) pyrochlore niobium from both weathered and fresh carbonatite. Pyrochlore niobium is commercially viable and accounts for ~95% of global niobium production. Additional mineralogical work is ongoing with results expected in December 2024.

Inset image shows globally significant carbonatite complexes at Niobec, Araxa, Catalao II and Luni at similar scale highlighting the footprints of niobium mineralisation. dreadnoughtresources.com.au 2 ASX:DRE +61 (08) 9473 8345 info@dreres.com.au Unit 1, 4 Burgay Court Osborne Park WA 6017 ABN 40 119 031 864 Recent drilling comprised 9 RC holes (1,508m) which were niobium focused and designed to: - Test for extensions of the Stinger oxide zone which contains thick intervals of niobium; and - Confirm the fresh rock source of the oxide mineralisation; and - Provide further material for mineralogical and metallurgical characterisation. The program sought to confirm fresh mineralisation and extend oxide enriched mineralisation at Stinger. Stinger is defined by niobium enrichment over an area of ~2,000m x 350m. Fresh niobium mineralisation is interpreted to be hosted in a dyke like geometry with a southwest dip within the Gifford Creek Carbonatite, which has now been confirmed over ~1.2km in strike. Assays have been received for the 9 RC holes and all holes returned significant mineralisation, including the 4 thickest and highest-grade intercepts to date. Intercepts include: CBRC195: 130m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 71m, including: 39m @ 1.3% Nb2O5 from 84m including 4m @ 2.0% Nb2O5 from 86m CBRC200: 95m @ 0.9% Nb2O5 from 48m, including 20m @ 1.4% Nb2O5 from 102m and 8m @ 1.7% Nb2O5 from 72m CBRC194: 122m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 71m, including 26m @ 1.1% Nb2O5 from 99m CBRC201: 98m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 54m, including 41m @ 1.1% Nb2O5 from 85m CBRC193: 57m @ 0.9% Nb2O5 from 51m, including 10m @ 1.2% Nb2O5 from 72m CBRC196: 24m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 81m, including 8m @ 1.3% Nb2O5 from 81m CBRC197: 28m @ 0.8% Nb2O5 from 66m, including 14m @ 1.0% Nb2O5 from 71m This program has confirmed fresh mineralisation over ~1.2km of strike which remains open in all directions. Next steps include wide spaced fenceline drilling across the Stinger Zone to better constrain the oxide and fresh boundaries. This work will also collect material for mineralogical and metallurgical assessment. The program was supported by a co-funded drilling grant of up to $180,000 under the Geological Survey of Western Australia’s merit-based Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) and a drill-for-equity agreement with Topdrill Pty Ltd.

At Mangaroon, Dreadnought has consolidated areas of outcropping high-grade gold and historical high grade gold mines including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamond gold mines. Exploration at the Money Intrusion has identified high tenor Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides. In addition, Mangaroon has emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing, potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include: • 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). • Discovery of the globally significant, Nb-REE-P-TiSc enriched Gifford Creek Carbonatite (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). 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 historical workings which have seen no modern exploration. Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au VMS system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to DeGrussa and Monty in the Bryah Basin. 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. 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 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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Sampling techniques • Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce samples for assaying. • • • 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. Laboratory Analysis Two sampling techniques were utilised for this program, 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 subsampled 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 rows adjacent to the rig. An aluminium scoop was used to then sub-sample each spoil pile to create a 2-3kg 3m composite sample in a calico bag. A pXRF is used on site to determine mineralised samples. Mineralised intervals have the 1m split collected, while unmineralised samples have 3m composites collected. All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of Niobium and Rare Earth Oxides by Lithium Borate Fusion and ICP-MS and ICP-AES (ALS Method MEMS81h and ME-ICP06h). QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) were inserted through the program at a rate of 1:50 samples. Duplicate samples are submitted as a Bbag from the Metzke’s cone splitter. Drilling techniques Drill sample recovery • • • • Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole 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.). Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. RC Drilling Topdrill undertook the program utilising a truck mounted Schramm T685WS drill rig with additional air from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit size was 5 ½ ”. RC Drilling Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practice’ approach to achieve maximum sample recovery and quality through the mineralised zones. Best practice sampling procedure included: suitable usage of dust suppression, suitable shroud, lifting off bottom between each metre, cleaning of sampling equipment, ensuring a dry sample and suitable supervision by the supervising geologist to ensure good sample quality. At this stage, no known bias occurs between sample recovery and grade. Logging • • • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and percentage of the re
