Dreadnought Resources Ltd has outlined a continuous ~15km-long gold-in-soil anomaly along the Minga Bar shear zone at its 100% owned Mangaroon Gold Project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region.

The target definition program successfully delineated strong gold and associated pathfinder anomalism extending along strike between and beyond Cullen's Find, Midday Moon, and Midnight Star. The new soil results build upon reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling completed at the end of 2025. That previous program returned significant intercepts including hole CFRC001 at Cullen's Find, which intersected 25m at 1.0 g/t gold from 22m, including 12m at 1.4 g/t gold from 25m, and hole MSRC005 at Midnight Star, which yielded 4m at 3.2 g/t gold from 12m, including 1m at 11.4 g/t gold from 13m.

Dreadnought consolidated the historical gold field, which had seen minimal modern exploration due to fragmented small-scale ownership. Infill soil sampling along the Minga Bar trend advances prior target definition work.

“These infill soil results from Minga Bar have successfully defined strong gold-in-soil anomalism over ~15km strike. Pleasingly, these anomalies are largely constrained within the more altered and deeply weathered zone of the Minga Bar shear making it easier to follow up with detailed mapping and target ranking work.”

“We look forward to the results of follow up work and to build upon the significant gold intercepts from our 2025 reconnaissance program.”

— Dean Tuck, Managing Director

The company plans to undertake detailed surface mapping and additional surface sampling to define and prioritise targets for discovery drilling, with drilling scheduled for the end of 2026 or the start of 2027. Results for remaining soil and stream sediment samples across Mangaroon are expected throughout August and September 2026.

Dreadnought's broader schedule includes an upgrade to the JORC Exploration Target at Gifford Creek in August 2026, the commencement of infill air core drilling at Black Oak and CRA Homestead at Illaara Gold in August 2026, and the Metzke's Find study at Illaara scheduled for September or October 2026.
