ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 29 September 2025
Fresh Rare Earth Surprise - 140m @ 0.9% TREO from Stinger
HIGHLIGHTS
• As part of inbound commercial interest, a 4-hole diamond drill program was recently completed at the Stinger niobium deposit
to gather oxide mineralisation for metallurgical testing. The program twinned previous holes and co-funding by the Exploration
Incentive Scheme by the Geological Survey of Western Australia allowed for 2 holes to each be extended to ~450m to gain
an understanding of the fresh zones underneath. Given the metallurgical nature of the program, assaying was not expected.
• However, one of the deeper holes (CBDD011) intercepted a thick rare earth carbonatite that has not
previously been seen at Gifford Creek. CBDD011 was assayed and returned: 140m @ 0.9% TREO (24% NdPr:TREO)
from 307m.
• Weathering of carbonatites tends to upgrade critical metals by a factor of 3-6 times which has already been seen
in the niobium results at Stinger. Therefore, the up-dip extension of CBDD011 (Figure 1) represents a compelling
high-grade drill target.
• Additionally, CBDD011 is largely comprised of a not previously seen fractionated zone (barium and strontium
enriched calcite carbonatite) with similarities to the globally significant Mountain Pass deposit in the US (MP –
NYSE).
• Mineralogical work of both the oxide and underlying fresh carbonatite is currently underway at the Australia National
University.
Dreadnought Resources Ltd (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results from drilling at the
Stringer niobium deposit located in the Gifford Creek Carbonatite (“Gifford Creek”) part of the 100%
owned Mangaroon Critical Metals project in the Gascoyne region of WA.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Gifford Creek is one of the largest carbonatite complexes globally and
already contains multiple critical minerals including niobium, rare earths, titanium, scandium and phosphorus. The discovery of thick mineralised
rare earths underneath Stringer is yet another
example of the shallow, high-grade at Gifford
Creek.
There is a rebounding market sentiment for
critical metals and we have been receiving an
increasing amount of inbound commercial
interest. The metallurgical work will be of great
assistance in this regard.
While Finding More Gold, Faster is our strategy we
are not going to ignore the potential value of one
of the largest carbonatite complexes in the world.”
Carbonatite
expert,
Ross
Chandler,
commented: “The discovery of this new style of
carbonatite-hosted REE mineralisation within the
Gifford Creek Carbonatite represents a significant
step change for REE exploration within the
Gascoyne Province. With geochemical and
geological similarities to major carbonatite-hosted
REE deposits globally such as Mountain Pass
(USA), the identification of Ba-Sr-enriched calcite
carbonatite at Mangaroon opens up a new search
space for both primary and weathered REE
mineralisation in the central carbonatite complex”

Metallurgical and Extensional Drilling: Gifford Creek (100%)
As part of inbound commercial interest, a 4 hole diamond drill program was recently completed at the Stinger
niobium deposit to gather oxide mineralisation for metallurgical testing. The program twinned previous holes and
co-funding by the Exploration Incentive Scheme by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) allowed for
2 holes to each be extended to ~450m so as to gain an understanding of the fresh zones underneath.
The program consisted of:
• 2 holes twinned CBRC195 & CBRC200 (300.9m) to solely produce shallow oxide material for metallurgical
testing; and
• 2 holes twinned holes CBRC194 and CBRC201 also to produce shallow oxide material for metallurgical testing
and, with $180,000 of EIS co-funding from the GSWA, extended to ~450m each to gain an understanding of
the fresh zones underneath.
The twinned holes comprised a strong mix of niobium, rare earths and other critical metals including:
CBRC194: 122m @ 0.6% Nb2O5 from 64m, including 26m @ 1.1% Nb2O5 from 99m; and
116m @ 10.5% P2O5 from 70m, including 20m @ 21.9% P2O5 from 138m
CBRC195: 130m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 71m, including 39m @ 1.3% Nb2O5 from 84m
97m @ 0.9% TREO from 57m, including 23m @ 1.6% TREO from 71m
CBRC200: 95m @ 0.9% Nb2O5 from 48m, including 20m @ 1.4% Nb2O5 from 102m
90m @ 1.1% TREO from 48m, including 8m @ 3.1% TREO from 72m
89m @ 8.9% TiO2 from 48m, including 8m @ 22.2% TiO2 from 72m
66m @ 1.0% ZrO2 from 72m, including 19m @ 1.4% ZrO2 from 104m
CBRC201: 98m @ 0.7% Nb2O5 from 54m, including 41m @ 1.1% Nb2O5 from 85m
However, one of the deeper holes (CBDD011) intercepted a thick rare earth carbonatite that has not previously
been seen at Gifford Creek. CBDD011 was assayed and returned:
•
140m @ 0.9% TREO (24% NdPr:TREO Ratio) from 307m.
The oxide section of CBDD011 has not been assayed as it is being used for metallurgical testing. However, the
twinned hole (CBRC194) returned:
o
122m @ 0.6% Nb2O5 from 64m, including 26m @ 1.1% Nb2O5 from 99m; and
116m @ 10.5% P2O5 from 70m, including 20m @ 21.9% P2O5 from 138m
CBDD011 intersected a thick zone of barium and strontium enriched calcite carbonatite mineralised with coarsegrained rare-earth minerals. The mineralogy is believed to be a mix of rare earth carbonates (bastnaesite) and rare
earth phosphates (monazite and apatite). Mineralogical work is currently underway with Australia National University.
Results from elsewhere in Stringer indicate that the oxide increases grade by 3-6 times which is in line with weathering
upgrade factors within global carbonatite deposits. The oxide above CBDD011 may also upgrade accordingly from:
CBDD011: 140m @ 0.9% TREO (24% NdPr:TREO) from 307m
Additionally, CBDD011 is largely comprised of a not previously seen fractionated zone (barium and strontium
enriched calcite carbonatite) with similarities to the globally significant Mountain Pass deposit in the US (MP – NYSE).
The discovery of this highly fractionated zone within Gifford Creek highlights both its significant potential for further
discovery with 25% of the carbonatite only tested by first pass, wide spaced drilling.
Mineralogical work of both the fresh and weathered carbonatite is ongoing.

Mangaroon Project
Mangaroon covers ~5,000kms2 and is located 250kms 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 12.8g/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
30.0Mt @ 1.04% TREO Resource 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-Ti-Sc enriched
Gifford Creek Carbonatite (ASX 7 Aug 2023).
• Delivery of a large, independent initial Resource of 10.8Mt @ 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).
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 @ 6.8g/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 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.
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.

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.
Diamond drilling (DD) drilling was undertaken to produce
samples for assay.
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g.

Diamond Core
Core is orientated for structural and geotechnical logging
where possible. In orientated core, half core is submitted to
the lab for analysis in intervals ranging from 20cm to 1m
depending on the geological context. If core is orientated,
then the half core is cut so as to preserve the orientation line
with the same side of the core submitted down the hole.
All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for
determination of critical metals by by Lithium Borate Fusion
and ICP-MS and ICP-AES (ALS Method ME-MS81h and MEICP06h).
QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s
(OREAS Standards) are inserted through the program at a
rate of 1:50 samples.
Drilling was completed by PCD with a truck-mounted low
impact diamond drill rig. Drilling is either PQ and or HQ
through the oxide and HQ in fresh rock to end of hole.
Core was orientated using an Axis Champ North-seeking
Gyro and True Core Orientation Tool.
HQ and NQ triple tube drilling has been undertaken. All
core recoveries are measured and recorded by the drill
crew for each run and remeasured and checked by
Dreadnought personnel.
Core recovery to date has been very high.
At this stage, no known bias occurs between sample recovery
and grade.
Lithology, mineralisation, alteration, veining, texture,
weathering and structure are recorded digitally.
DD logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi-quantitative in

ME-MS81h and ME-ICP06h are appropriate for Nb2O5, REE,
P2O5, TiO2 ZrO2 determination.
Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored by
the laboratory and by the company upon assay result
receival.
Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital
logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite
database.
Significant intersections are inspected by senior company
personnel.
No analysis of the diamond twin compared to the RC drilling
in the oxide portion of the hole has been completed at this
time as material is being preserved for mineralogical and
metallurgical purposes.
No adjustments to any assay data have been undertaken.
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Collar position was recorded using a Emlid Reach RS2 RTK
GPS system (+/- 0.3m x/y, +/-0.5m z).
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
See table 7 for hole positions and sampling information.
Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular angle to the
interpreted strike and dip of the mineralised lode.
•
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.
Sample security
•
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
All geochemical samples were collected, bagged, and sealed
by Dreadnought staff and were delivered to Galt Mining
Solutions for processing and then to ALS in Perth.
Audits or reviews
•
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
The program is continuously reviewed by senior company
personnel.

GDA94 Z50s is the grid format for all xyz data reported.
Azimuth and dip of the drill hole was recorded by PXD after
the completion of the hole using an Axis Champ Gyro. A
reading was undertaken every 20th metre with an accuracy of
+/- 0.75° azimuth and +/-0.15° dip.
Data spacing at this stage is not suitable for Mineral Resource
Estimation.
No sample bias is known at this time.
