GRANTS CU-AU ASSAYS AND COINCIDENT MAGNETIC/GRAVITY IOCG TARGETS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assays confirm Proterozoic Cu-Au ("IOCG") mineralisation at Grants as follows: GRDD001:
    o 9.0m at 1.1% Cu and 0.2 g/t Au from 36.0m including 1.7m at 3.8% Cu and 0.5 g/t Au from 40.3m; and
    o 1.6m at 1.2% Cu from 108.4m
    GRDD002:
    o 3.4m at 1.1% Cu from 112.0m;
    o 1.5m at 1.3% Cu from 154.0-155.9m; and o 1.0m at 1.1% Cu from 99.0m
  • Drilling plus geophysical surveys indicate that Grants potentially represents distal hydrothermal outcropping mineralisation vectoring towards undercover coincident magnetic/gravity IOCG targets at Fuso and Paul's Find

Dreadnought Resources Limited ("Dreadnought") is pleased to announce assay results from the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme ("EIS") co-funded diamond drilling at the Grants Cu-Au Target in the West Kimberley. Narrow high-grade mineralisation was intersected in line with historic drilling in the 1950s. In addition, wider lower grade zones of mineralisation were confirmed between the high-grade lodes.

Multi-element assays support the potential for Grants to be part of a wider IOCG system. Recently completed airborne magnetics and ground gravity surveys have identified Fuso and Paul's Find as high priority coincident magnetic/gravity targets for drill testing in 2020.

Dreadnought Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented "Dreadnought's drill and geophysical programs at and around Grants, have confirmed the presence of IOCG copper mineralisation and the potential for a wider IOCG system. This drilling, coupled with recent field work including geophysical surveys, has highlighted that Grants may be a vector towards blind magnetic/gravity IOCG targets such as Fuso and Paul's Find. Based on this work our priority drill targets for 2020 will include Fuso and Paul's Find."

Diamond Drill Holes GRDD001 and GRDD002

Both diamond holes were drilled at a -60 degree angle with an azimuth of 315 degrees and were located between holes drilled by Western Mining Corporation ("WMC") in the late 1950s. GRDD001 was drilled to a depth of 151.1m and GRDD002 was drilled to a depth of 194m, and both holes interesected multiple mineralised zones (Figures 2 and 3):

Main Zone (27.6m to 45.0m) - 17.4m interval grading 0.7% Cu consists of quartz-sulphidebreccia, quartz-sulphideveins and intense silica and chlorite alteration within fine grained and graphitic pelites. Includes 9m at 1.1% Cu from 36m and 1.7m at 3.8% Cu from 40.3m;

2nd Zone (59.6m to 63.2m) - 3.6m fault breccia with minor quartz-pyrite veins within interbedded pelites and intermediate to felsic volcanics;

3rd Zone (83.0m to 84.5m) - 1.5m interval grading 0.3% Cu consists of brecciated quartz-chalcopyrite within intermediate to felsic volcanics;

4th Zone (106.3m to 111.0m) - 4.7m interval grading 0.7% Cu consists of quartz-chalcopyrite veined graphitic pelites with dissiminated chalcopyrite. Includes 1.6m at 1.2% Cu from 108.4m; and

Porpyrhy Zone (117.7m to 126.7m) - 9m felsic porpyhry dyke with trace quartz-pyrite-chalcopyriteveins.

Zone 1 (99.0m to 116.5m) - 17.5m interval grading 0.5% Cu

consisting of a swarm of quartz-sulphide veins. The interval

is comprised primarily of chalcopyrite with lesser pyrite and

a deformed and brecciated package of coarse to fine

grained pelites which have undergone silica and chlorite

alteration. Includes 1m at 1.1% Cu from 99m and 3.4m at

1.1% Cu from 112m;

Zone 2 (122.4m to 123.9m) - 1.5m interval consisting of

quartz-sulphide veins with minor pyrite and subordinate

chalcopyrite in deformed and altered sediments;

Zone 3 (143.8m to 156.5m) - 12.7m interval grading 0.5%

Cu, consisting of a swarm of quartz-sulphide veins. The

interval is similar in composition to Zone 1. Includes 1.9m

at 1.3% Cu from 154m; and

Porphyry Zone (179.2m to 191.2m) - 12.0m interval of

felsic porphyry with no visible mineralisation.

Both holes were similar to historic WMC drilling in that they intersected multipe zones of near vertical mineralisation dominated by coarse to fine grained and occasionally graphitic pelites with interbedded intermediate to felsic volcanics and a porphyry dyke. Mineralisation was confined to zones of intense brecciation and veining with dominant silica, chlorite and sulphide alteration. Elevated Co, Bi, As, Ag supports IOCG style of mineralisation.

IOCG at Tarraji-Yampi

As part of the field campaigns, Dreadnought has been undertaking airborne magnetic, ground gravity and orientation geochemical surveys over the wider Tarraji-Yampi area. This work is motivated by the comparisons of the lithostructural and geochemical signature of Tarraji-Yampi to other IOCG terranes such as Tennant Creek Inlier (ex. Gecko, Peko) and Cloncurry District (ex. Brumby, Ernest Henry). (Figure 8).

In these terranes, IOCG deposits occur as coincident magnetic-gravity anomalies. Fuso and Paul's Find both have strong coincident magnetic-gravity anomalies and represent highly attractive IOCG targets (see Figure 6 and 7). Deposits are also likely to form topographic lows and to not outcrop. With this model, the outcropping quartz copper lodes like Grants and Wilsons could represent distal hydrothermal mineralisation and work as a vector towards mineralisation undercover such as Fuso and Paul's Find.

This work highlighted Fuso and Paul's Find as highly attractive IOCG targets for drilling in 2020 (see Figures 6 and 7).

Background on the Fuso and Paul's Find Targets

Fuso and Paul's Find are the first two priority targets to result from the recent airborne magnetics and ground gravity surveys.

Fuso is one of the largest and strongest magnetic anomalies within Tarraji-Yampi at 1,200m x 700m with a core gravity anomaly of 500m x 400m. Both have an apparent south to south-easterly plunge. The magnetic signature is interpreted to be related to intense iron rich alteration, either as magnetite or pyrrhotite and the gravity signature conceptually represents the mineralised lode.

Paul's Find is represented by an intense magnetic low and gravity high bullseye feature with dimensions of ~300m x 200m. The magnetic low is interpreted to be remnant magnetisation associated with a mineralised lode.

Both targets are high priority and will be drill tested in 2020. On-going review of geophysical and geochemical datasets may generate additional targets for drill testing.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Tarraji-YampiNi-Cu-Au Project

Dreadnought controls the second largest land holding in the highly prospective West Kimberley, Western Australia. The main project area is located only 85kms from Derby and has been locked up as a Defence reserve since 1978, The area was only recently opened under the Commonwealth Government's co-existence regime that balances Defence's needs with the requirements of others including Aboriginal groups, the resources industry, pastoralists and State Governments.

Tarraji-Yampi presents a rare first mover

opportunity with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900s which have seen no modern exploration.

Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji- Yampi including: volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS"); Proterozoic Cu-Au ("IOCG"); and

magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE. Numerous high priority nickel, copper and gold drill targets have been identified from recent VTEM surveys, historical drilling and surface sampling of outcropping mineralisation.

Illaara Au-VMS Project

Illaara is located 160km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton and covers 75kms of strike along the Illaara Greenstone Belt. Illaara is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation.

Dreadnought has consolidated the Illaara Greenstone Belt mainly through an acquisition from Newmont Goldcorp ("Newmont"). Newmont defined several camp-scale targets which were undrilled due to a change in corporate focus. Prior to Newmont, the Illaara greenstone belt was held predominantly by iron ore explorers and has seen minimal gold and base metal exploration since the 1990s. Illaara contains several drill ready gold targets, the NWA nickel sulphide prospect and known VMS horizons which could produce exciting drill targets with the application of modern exploration technology.

Rocky Dam Au-Cu-Zn Project

Rocky Dam is located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. Rocky Dam is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Zn VMS mineralisation. Rocky Dam has known gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets based on 1990s mineralised gold intercepts which have not been followed up.
