ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 6 October 2026
Shallow High-Grade Gold from Metzke’s North — Illaara
HIGHLIGHTS
• Metzke’s North is a new discovery north of a Proterozoic dyke (a younger, unmineralised rock intrusion) that was
previously thought to cut off the high-grade mineralisation at Metzke’s Find.
• Assays have been received for a 22-hole (1,958m) Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program, mainly at Metzke’s
North, with the balance at Metzke’s Find (together “Metzke’s”), part of the Illaara Gold Project (“Illaara”). A 12-
hole (1,328.9m) diamond drilling program has also been completed at Metzke’s Find, with assays pending.
• The programs (Figure 2) were designed mainly to:
• Extend the Resource at Metzke’s North in order to increase the overall Resource at Metzke’s (currently
24,900 oz @ 5.2 g/t Au - 84% Indicated); and
• Provide additional metallurgical test work; assist in mine planning and to extend and upgrade the Resource
(already at 84% Indicated) (4 twin and 8 extension holes).
• The RC program has successfully intersected shallow, high-grade gold at Metzke’s North with significant results
including:
MZRC174: 7m @ 8.6 g/t Au from 8m, including 1m @ 57.1 g/t Au from 8m
MZRC180: 2m @ 4.2 g/t Au from 112m MZRC186: 2m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 21m
MZRC169: 3m @ 1.9 g/t Au from 30m
• Of the diamond program at Metzke’s Find, 4 were twin holes (drilled alongside earlier holes to verify previous
results) for quality control and metallurgical test work and 8 were extensional holes testing Metzke’s Find extensions
below the current Resource. A total of 4 of the extensional holes intersected visible gold over intervals ranging
from 0.55m – 2.94m in thickness (Table 1). Visual observations are not a substitute for laboratory assays which are
expected in November 2026.
• The RC and diamond program results will be used to extend and upgrade the current Resource and to support
mining studies.
Dreadnought Resources Ltd (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results from RC and
observations from diamond drilling at Metzke’s North/Find, part of the 100% owned Illaara
Gold Project, in the Yilgarn region of WA.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “Drilling at Metzke’s North has produced one of the highest-
grade intercepts to date and from just 8m depth. Additionally, half of our extensional diamond holes have intersected visible
gold. Together, we believe these results have the potential to grow the Resource and, importantly, we have gathered important
structural information to target down plunge extensions in future programs.
The diamond program also provides core
for important study-related work. With
geotechnical work now completed we can
send the core for assay and metallurgical
test work.
We expect further results in November
2026 as we advance Metzke’s Find
towards studies, approvals and
production.”

Overview of Drilling Programs
RC (22 holes, 1,958m) and diamond (12 holes,
1,328.9m) drilling programs have been completed at
Metzke’s North and Metzke’s Find, with a focus on
adding near-term production ounces as part of
Dreadnought’s Finding More Gold Faster strategy.
RC drilling was undertaken mainly to extend the
current Resource at Metzke’s Find into Metzke’s
North. Significant results include:
MZRC174: 7m @ 8.6 g/t Au from 8m,
including 1m @ 57.1 g/t Au from 8m
MZRC180: 2m @ 4.2 g/t Au from 112m
MZRC186: 2m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 21m
MZRC169: 3m @ 1.9 g/t Au from 30m
Diamond drilling was undertaken to provide core for
additional metallurgical test work and mine planning,
and to extend and upgrade the Resource (already
84% Indicated) (4 twin and 8 extension holes).
Importantly, 4 of the 8 extension holes intersected
visible gold over intervals ranging from 0.55m –
2.94m in thickness.

Cautionary Statement
Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where
concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding
impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.
Diamond core is being cut and dispatched to ALS, Perth, for Photon Assay, with results to be reported upon receipt in accordance with the
Company’s continuous disclosure obligations. The Company anticipates that it will receive assays within 6-8 weeks.
The visible gold grains are typically <1mm in diameter but vary from pinhead to match-head size.

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:
MZ19: 2m @ 15.7 g/t Au from 19m MZ23: 3m @ 11.7 g/t Au from 18m
Dreadnought acquired Metzke’s Find in 2020 and has completed RC and diamond drilling which also delivered significant
results including:
MZRC019: 4m @ 19.9 g/t Au from 45m MZRC016: 3m @ 21.0 g/t Au from 85m
The mineralisation at Metzke’s Find comprises quartz lodes hosted within a foliated mafic sequence and typically dips steeply
to the west. Discrete zones of mineralisation are high-grade, 1–4m in thickness and strike north-south with an interpreted
moderate north plunge of around 30°. A total of 5 separate mineralised zones are interpreted, likely representing shoots
developed within a single planar shear.
In 2026, the Metzke’s Find and Metzke’s North Resource (84% Indicated) was updated with the majority of mineralisation
being contained within 140m of surface. The current Resource is shown below.

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 near 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 an initial high-
grade Resource — since grown
to 24,900 oz @ 5.2 g/t Au (84%
Indicated) — 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 ~800 km2 of the Illaara Greenstone Belt within the richly endowed
Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia.
• The Illaara Greenstone Belt is one of the most underexplored and under-drilled greenstone belts in the
Yilgarn providing plenty of space for a major discovery.
• Covering ~800 km2, it 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 is seeing 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
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 cashflow can be directed towards exploration for new discoveries.

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 27,000 oz Resource at 11.1 g/t Au (98%
Measured and 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, 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 into 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 24,900 oz @ 5.2 g/t Au Resource at Metzke’s Find
(84% 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
and 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.

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
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
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.

problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
A pXRF is used on site to help 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 gold by Photon assay from crushed sample
(ALS Method Au-PA01).
Select samples are also submitted for 48 multi-elements via 4
acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61) to
assist with lithological interpretation.
QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s
(OREAS Standards) are inserted through the program at a
rate of 1:50 samples.
Drilling techniques • 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.).
RC Drilling
Drilling was completed by Precision Exploration Drilling
(PXD) utilising a KWL 350 truck mounted drill rig with
additional air from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit
size was 5¾“.
Drill sample recovery • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
