Develop the Star of Mangaroon
History
• Gold identified: 1956
• Small-scale underground mining: 1960-1983
• Production: ~7,500 ounces at ~35g/t
Outlook
• Maiden Resource of 23,300oz @ 12.8g/t Au (84% Indicated)
defined within ~100m of surface
• High grade, open-pit opportunity with potential to grow
along strike and at depth
• Robust open pit Scoping Study shows:
• ~A$50M in free cashflow @ A$4,600oz
• 10-12 months production
• max cash drawdown of ~A$10M (development partner)
• AISC ~A$1,800/oz
• Strategy to outsource funding, development, haulage and
processing
• Black Cat Syndicate has invested $2M and entered an
agreement to secure the first right to negotiate gold
development for processing at Paulsens

Upside potential at Star of Mangaroon & Popeye
• Limited exploration in the 1980s/1990s:
• 4m at 26g/t Au from 9m (MA10)
• 4m at 18.7g/t Au from 8m (SMC07)
• Recent drilling highlights by DRE includes:
• 2m at 59.0g/t Au from 16m (SOMRC004)
• 4m at 27.4g/t Au from 80m (SOMRC030)
• 7m at 23.0/t Au from 53m (SOMRC005)
• 8m at 15.5g/t Au from 89m (SOMRC006)
• Exceptional metallurgical performance:
• Average 96.7% total recovery with 74.4% in gravity recovery
• Potential to grow resource, mine plan and financials:
• Add shallow ounces by extending Star of Mangaroon
• Test underground mining potential

$15M Farm-In and Joint Venture with Teck – Money Intrusion Ni-Cu-PGEs
Major Partnership to explore the Money Intrusion
• Significant Copper + Nickel Opportunity (~50/50 Cu-Ni Ratio):
• 23m @ 0.50% Ni, 0.51% Cu from 36m including:
2m @ 3.32% Ni, 2.88% Cu from 45m (REYRC013)
• 10m @ 0.36% Ni, 0.45% Cu from 76m including:
2m @ 1.15% Ni, 1.30% Cu from 78m (REYRC019)
• $15M Farm-In and Joint Venture:
• Teck may earn 75% interest in the Tenements by managing and
sole funding A$15M of expenditure within 6.5 years (“Farm-In
Period”) including a firm commitment of A$1M within the first
18 months.
• Joint Venture: Upon completion of the Farm-In, Teck and
Dreadnought would form a 75/25 joint venture.
• Teck to manage all exploration
• Agreement aligned with Dreadnoughts gold focused strategy:
• Continued low risk exposure to base metal potential
• No impact on key gold prospects

Gifford Creek Carbonatite Complex
Significant Critical Metal Potential
• The Gifford Creek Carbonatite Complex is one of the largest carbonatite complexes in the world,
stretching 17km.
• Wide spaced drilling has identified multiple zones of critical metal (rare earth, niobium, titanium,
phosphate and scandium) mineralisation.
• Close to existing and shared infrastructure.
Proven Rare Earth Mineralisation
• 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO at the Yin Ironstone Complex (87% M+I)
• Commercial monazite concentrate and mixed rare earth carbonates (MREC) created
• 10.84Mt @ 1.00% TREO and 0.22% Nb2O5 at C3 (100% Inferred)
Proven Niobium Mineralisation
• Multiple zones of mineralisation already identified with exploration target estimated:
• 15 – 60Mt @ 0.5% – 1.0% Nb2O5
• Mineralogical test work confirms pyrochlore mineralisation across Stinger
Critical Metal Mineralisation
• CBRC200: 95m @ 0.9% Nb2O5 from 48m, incl. 8m @ 1.7% Nb2O5 from 72m
• CBRC148: 43m @ 11.9% P2O5 from 87m, incl. 24m @ 14.5% P2O5 from 105m
• CBRC138: 12m @ 319ppm Sc from 48m and CBRC125: 10m @ 270ppm Sc from 18m
• CBRC086: 72m @ 8.6% TiO2 from 12m, incl. 6m @ 12.8% TiO2 from 66m
• CBRC200: 66m @ 1.0% ZrO2 from 72m

The information in this announcement that relates to geology and exploration results
and planning was compiled by Mr. Dean Tuck, who is a Member of the AIG, Managing
Director, and shareholder of the Company. Mr. Tuck has sufficient experience which
is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and
