HIGHLIGHTS
•
Assays from a diamond drilling program (6 holes, 1,524.8m) at Tarraji-Yampi have been received.
These holes were designed to test 6 Cu-Au volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) targets around
the Orion deposit and to identify potential off-hole conductors.
•
Significant results were returned from the Orion, Orion Repeat, Orion Offset and OR1 targets:
Orion and Orion Repeat: KMDD001: 3m @ 4.5% Cu, 2.2g/t Au, 46.0 g/t Ag, 0.15% Co from 58.3m

Additionally, a strong 14,500S off hole conductor spanning ~335m x 350m was defined at OR2.
•
Results from the regional IP survey are expected in October 2024.
Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results from a
diamond drilling program and down hole EM (“DHEM”) surveys at Tarraji-Yampi, located
in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia.
Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “This drilling program was designed to identify new zones of
mineralisation within and around the same feeder structures as Orion to better understand the Cu-Au VMS system. This program
has delivered 6 new zones of mineralisation and four off-hole conductors that warrant follow up drilling. This is a successful
outcome for the program and validation of the VMS model of mineralisation. As part of this program, an EIS co-funded IP
survey was undertaken to
test the effectiveness of IP at
identifying Grant’s Find style
Epithermal / Mesothermal
Cu-Au mineralisation. The
significant intersection of this
style of mineralisation at
OR1
underscores
the
importance of this work and
we expect the results of that
survey in October 2024.”

Technical Discussion of Diamond Drilling
In the Phase 1 drill program (6 holes, 1,640m), 5 of the 6 targets were located along the same interpreted feeder structure as the
Orion deposit and were defined by highly conductive, magnetic anomalies associated with elevated pathfinder geochemistry. These
targets include the depth extension of Orion. The 6-hole Phase 1 drill program targets are discussed and summarised below.
Orion Repeat was defined by a 3,500S FLEM conductor and coincident VMS pathfinder geochemistry that sits beneath previous
drilling at Orion. KMDD001 was drilled through the main Orion lode and into the centre of the FLEM plate intersecting 3m of
massive to semi-massive sulphides at the Orion lode with significant intercept of:
KMDD001: 3m @ 4.5% Cu, 2.2g/t Au, 46.0 g/t Ag, 0.15% Co from 58.3m
and 16m of mineralisation at the target Orion Repeat horizon including:
KMDD001:16m @ 0.7% Zn, 0.7% Pb, 12.7g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au from 162m
Including: 2m @ 2.6% Zn, 1.1% Pb, 26.8g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au from 173m
DHEM produced an on-hole response, indicating the FLEM target was tested. The DHEM plate measured ~13,000S with dimensions
of ~150m x 140m. The centre of the plate is located below and to the south of the KMDD001. Pb-Zn mineralisation is indicative
of the lower temperature edges of a massive sulphide system. This target warrants additional drilling.

Orion Offset was defined by a 3,800S FLEM conductor with coincident VMS pathfinder geochemistry. KMDD004 was drilled into
the centre of the modelled FLEM plate and intersected a ~3.2m wide copper-stained mineralised gossan, shallower than the target
conductor with significant results including:
KMDD004: 5m @ 0.4% Cu, 0.5 g/t Ag from 11m
A second mineralised horizon was intersected just below the gossanous horizon with significant results including:
KMDD004: 1m @ 1.3% Zn, 0.7% Pb, 32.2g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au from 23m
DHEM produced an off-hole response down dip of the mineralised intervals. The DHEM plate measured ~50,000S with dimensions
of ~150m x 150m located ~100m down dip of the mineralised intercepts and is interpreted to be the offset of the main Orion
lode. This target warrants additional drilling.
A third mineralised horizon was intersected at target depth returning a significant result of:
KMDD004: 2m @ 0.7% Zn, 0.2% Pb, 3.8g/t Ag from 106m
DHEM produced an off-hole response associated with this target interval measuring ~15,000S with dimensions of ~90m x 150m
located ~80m down dip and to the north of the drill hole. This off-hole conductor warrants additional drilling.

OR1 was the only target drilled off the interpreted Orion feeder structure, targeting a strong “edge hit” 16,700S DHEM conductor
defined from KMRC060 (2m @ 0.4% Pb and 16.6g/t Ag from 106m) along a prospective peperite contact coincident with the
DHEM conductor. KMDD006 was drilled to test the modelled plate produced no significant assay results, however, the DHEM
confirms that the target was not tested. An off-hole conductor of 24,300S, consistent with a massive sulphide source, was identified
which sits further down dip of the mineralised horizons intersected in KMRC060 and KMDD006. This OR1 target is ~82m x 200m
in size and remains a priority target for follow up drilling.
KMDD006 also intersected a ~6m wide stockwork or Grant’s Find style Cu-Co mineralisation returning:
KMDD006: 6m @ 1.2% Cu, 0.08% Co from 27m
Including: 2m @ 2.0% Cu, 0.19% Co from 28m
Both the off-hole conductor and Grant’s Find style mineralisation warrant follow up drilling.

OR2 was a 7,200S off hole conductor located beneath the strongest Cu auger geochemical anomaly (stronger than Orion) with
VMS pathfinder geochemistry. KMRC062, which is the hole from where the DHEM conductor originated, contained elevated AgBi-Mo-Sb-Se at the prospective peperite contact. KMDD005 was drilled into the centre of the modelled plate which was explained
by a sulphidic shale. DHEM confirmed that the target plate was tested at the target depth. DHEM also identified a strong 14,500S
off-hole conductor, consistent with a massive sulphide source, located further down dip and between KMDD005 and KMRC062
on the same prospective mineralised horizon. This OR2 DHEM target is ~335m x 350m in size and remains a priority drill target.
Orion Extension was defined by a
large and strong magnetic anomaly at
depth of the main Orion lode.
KMDD002 was drilled to test the centre
of this magnetic anomaly and a hanging
wall lode that was intersected in
KMRD056 (1.35m @ 1.0% Cu). Drilling
intersected six variably mineralised
peperite horizons with no significant
mineralisation. The magnetic anomaly is
explained
by
thick
pyrrhotite
accumulations between 420m and 440m.
DHEM confirms that the target horizon
was tested with a ~47,000S plate centred
around 420m depth associated with ~510% sulphides dominated by pyrrhotite
and pyrite with only trace chalcopyrite,
sphalerite, galena and arsenopyrite.
This target is considered effectively
tested and explained.
Orion Splay was defined by multiple
DHEM conductors up to 28,000S that
have an orientation sub-parallel to the
interpreted feeder structure that might
also be offsetting the main Orion
deposit. Adjacent drill holes are elevated
in VMS pathfinder geochemistry.
KMDD003 was drilled to test multiple
DHEM plates. The most significant
mineralisation was 1m @ 0.4% Zn, 0.2%
Pb and 0.4g/t Au from 81m.
DHEM confirms that all plates were
effectively tested and explained.

SNAPSHOT – Tarraji-Yampi Cu-Au-Ag-Co
Unexplored since the 1970s
•
Outcropping mineralisation was discovered in 1905 and mined for copper at Grant’s Find, Wilson’s Reward,
Monarch, Ironclad and Tarraji from 1907-1920.
•
Only historical exploration within the area was by WMC Resources (“WMC”) in the 1950s and Australian
Consolidated Minerals (“ACM”) in the 1970s with both parties exploring for copper.
•
Contained entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area (“YSTA”), Commonwealth land was off limits to mineral
exploration from 1978 to 2013.
Genuine Camp Scale Potential
•
Five clusters of historical mining on outcropping mineralisation.
•
Orion discovery (~350m wide x ~150m long x 250m deep and open at depth), under just 1m of cover, made in
2021. Results include KMRC022: 16m @ 2.2% Cu, 38.7g/t Ag, 6.6g/t Au, 0.40% Co from 77m. (ASX 15 Nov 2021)
•
Lithostructural and geochemical similarities to pelitic-mafic or “Besshi-style” VMS systems such as Monty
/DeGrussa in Western Australia, Windy Craggy in Canada or the Matchless deposits in Namibia.
Significant, Step-Change, Growth Potential
•
Dreadnought is the first to deploy modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation
under shallow cover in the region.

Global Energy Decarbonisation Driving Copper Fundamentals
•
Copper is essential for electricity-related technologies with renewable energy systems requiring up to 12x more
copper compared to traditional energy systems.
•
S&P Global forecasts that global demand for copper could double from 25mt to 50mt by 2035. Under this
scenario, by 2030, supply from both existing and projected copper mines will meet just 80% of demand (S&P Global:
The Future of Copper, July 2022).

Background on Tarraji-Yampi (E04/2508, E04/2557, E04/2608, E04/2860, E04/2861, E04/2862, E04/2863: 100%, E04/2315: 80%)
Tarraji-Yampi is located entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area (“YSTA”), a Commonwealth Defence
Reserve in the West Kimberley, ~80kms from the port of Derby. The YSTA is the second largest Defence Reserve
in Australia after Woomera in South Australia and was off limits to mineral exploration from 1978 to 2013.
The only significant exploration undertaken in the area was by WMC Resources in 1958 and Australian Consolidated
Minerals in 1972, with both parties exploring for copper. Since opening for exploration in 2013, Dreadnought has
secured the largest ground holding within the YSTA and developed strong working relationships with both the
Department of Defence and the Dambimangari People.

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 VMS system at Tarraji-Yampi,
similar to DeGrussa and Monty in the Bryah Basin.
Mangaroon Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE, Au & REE Project
(100%)
Mangaroon covers ~5,300kms2 and is located 250kms
south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA.
At the Money Intrusion, Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE has been
identified. Dreadnought also has areas of outcropping
high-grade gold including the historic Star of Mangaroon
and Diamond 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
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.

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.
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.
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 relevant
intersections logged.
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc.
and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected, including for
instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.

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.
QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s
(OREAS Standards) will be inserted through the program at
a rate of 1:50 samples. Duplicate samples are submitted as
quarter core.
All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for
determination of 48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with
MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61) determination of Au by
Fire Assay and ICP-AES finish (ALS Code Au-ICP22).
Diamond Drilling
Diamond drilling was undertaken by Top Drill with a truckmounted low impact Sandvik DE880 diamond drill rig.
Drilling is either HQ to end of hole or initially HQ and
dropping to NQ once the hole is cased off for deeper drill
holes.
Core is orientated using a Axis Champ North-seeking Gyro
and True Core Orientation Tool.
Diamond Drilling
HQ and NQ 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.
Diamond Drilling
Diamond core is logged under supervision of a Senior
Geologist with sufficient experience in this geological terrane
and relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry
standard logging system which could eventually be utilised
within a Mineral Resource Estimation.
Lithology, mineralisation, alteration, veining, weathering and
structure are recorded digitally.
DD Logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi-quantitative in
nature.

20cm – 1m half core samples are sawn an
