Dreadnought Resources uncovers massive sulphide mineralisation at Illaara Project

1234

Dreadnought Resources has announced that it has uncovered massive sulphide mineralisation, including base metal sulphides, at the Nelson and Trafalgar Cu-Pb-ZnAg-Au prospects, part of the Illaara Project in the Yilgarn Region of Western Australia.

As part of the company’s drilling program, nine holes were drilled at Nelson and Trafalgar targeting coincident geochemical – magnetic – fixed loop EM (“FLEM”) anomalies.

At Nelson, massive sulphides (including minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena), exhalative horizons, and strong footwall alteration indicative of a fertile base metal rich VMS system were intersected.

At Trafalgar, multiple massive sulphide horizons associated with intense quartz veining and carbonate alteration more indicative of an Au-Ag system were intersected.

In addition, multiple thick 10-34m thick flat lying and subvertical fertile LCT pegmatites were also intersected at both Nelson and Trafalgar.

“Confirming an extensive fertile base metal VMS system at Nelson, with similarities to the early stage drilling results at Jaguar and Bentley, is a great start to the drilling program. DHEM is underway and we look forward to follow-up drilling in April 2022,” said Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck in an ASX Announcement.

“We were also pleasantly surprised with intersections of multiple thick fertile LCT pegmatites across both prospects which has significantly expanded the footprint of Peggy Sue. Drilling has now commenced at Spitfire after which it will proceed to Metzke’s Find and King’s Iron Ore prospects giving us time to design further drill holes at Nelson before mobilising to Mangaroon.”
