The past year has been a watershed year for Dreadnought. On 4 April 2019 we completed the acquisition of the IronRinger Resources Group bringing with it the Tarraji-Yampi Project, Chianti VMS Target, Texas Ni-Cu-PGE Magmatic Sulphide Target, Grants Cu-Au (IOCG) Target and Rocky Dam Au Project. Following the IronRinger acquisition, we began a major transformation process. On the administrative side, the Company changed its name from Tychean Resources Limited to Dreadnought Resources Limited. Dreadnought was chosen in recognition of some of our projects being located on Commonwealth Defence ground. HMS Dreadnought was so revolutionary in design that it became its own class of battleship. Dreadnought captures both the scale of deposit we are looking for and the innovation being applied in doing so. We also relocated the Registered Office from Adelaide to Perth necessitating a restructure of the board and management. In this regard, I would take the opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of our former Chairman, Duncan Gordon, and former Company Secretary Kaitlin Smith. David Chapman and I joined the board as non-executives in April 2019. Due to other business commitments, David subsequently resigned and should be acknowledged for his contribution in establishing and growing the IronRinger Resources Group. Importantly, Ian Gordon and Paul Payne remained on the board and have provided continuity in addition to capability and experience. We were then fortunate in being able to have Dean Tuck join us as Managing Director. Finally, we completed a Small Shareholding Sale Facility in August 2019 via which the total number of shareholders in the Company was reduced by ~1,580 to ~750. This significantly reduces administration costs going forward. We have remained highly active on the acquisition front, including the following transactions:  Acquired the Illaara Greenstone Belt (“Illaara”) from a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Goldcorp Corporation, during June 2019.  Finalised the acquisition of the Wombarella Project during August 2019.  Consolidated a significant land position prospective for Proterozoic Cu-Au, Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag VMS and Magmatic Ni-Cu- PGE massive sulphides in the South Kimberley during August 2019.  Acquired 100% of the IronRinger (Tarraji) Pty Ltd subsidiary during June 2019. We restructured Dreadnought’s balance sheet with the following funding:  Completed a Non-Renounceable Entitlement Issue and issued raising $235,975 at $0.003 per share before costs during April 2019.  Completed three placements and issued 225,464,959 shares at an issue price of $0.003 raising a total of $676,395 before costs.  Issued 600,000 Convertible Notes each with a face value of $1.00 raising $600,000 before costs.  Completed a Share Purchase Plan and issued 140,166,663 shares at an issue price of $0.003 raising $420,500 before costs during August 2019. On the operational front, we have taken some major steps forward including:  Illaara Gold Project: Field activities commenced, and historic data was compiled with significant mineralisation potential identified. Three prospects were prioritised for drilling being: Illaara Central, CRA Homestead and Lawrence’s Find. Drilling approvals over Illaara Central and CRA Homestead have been received and drilling is planned for the December 2019 quarter.  Chianti VMS Target: confirmed massive sulphides in both the lower and upper EM plates through diamond drilling. This successfully confirmed the style of mineralisation and that the geophysical methods deployed are effective at identifying VMS mineralisation.  Grants Cu-Au Target: at the time of writing a 4-6 hole diamond drill program for up to ~700m is underway at Grants. The program is EIS co-funded and assays are expected back by end of December 2019 quarter 1      DREADNOUGHT RESOURCES LIMITED Chairman’s Letter Over the coming year we have set ourselves a number of goals including:  Illaara Gold Project o Deliver maiden drill programs at the Lawrence's, CRA Homestead and Central Illaara camp scale targets  o Continue evaluating our camp scale targets to generate additional drill targets  o Evaluate the VMS potential of Illaara and undertake effective and efficient exploration programs to generate drill targets   Chianti VMS Target: o Follow up on down hole EM anomalies at Chianti  o Use the technical learnings from our successful drilling to generate additional drill targets with the aim of confirming a mineralised VMS camp  o Evaluate the remainder of the project area for other prospective VMS horizons   Grants Cu-Au Target: o Follow up drilling at Grants to test extents with an aim to assess its size and grade potential  o Feed the technical learnings from the Grants drilling back into the project area to generate additional drill targets with the aim of confirming a mineralised Cu-Au camp   Texas Ni-Cu-PGE Target o Drill the high priority coincident magnetic and VTEM anomaly within the Ruins Dolerite   Rocky Dam o Confirm and evaluate the CRA anomaly which has not been followed up since the 1990s  In closing, we would like to thank our stakeholders including the Department of Defence, the Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation local communities, employees, joint venture alliance partners, suppliers and other business partners. We also would take this opportunity to thank our fellow shareholders for your ongoing support. Yours sincerely Paul Chapman Chairman  2      DREADNOUGHT RESOURCES LIMITED Directors’ Report Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the Group) consisting of Dreadnought Resources Limited (referred to hereafter as the Parent Entity or the Company) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2019.

The project area has been locked up as a Defence reserve since 1978 and was only recently opened under the Commonwealth Government’s coexistence regime that balances Defence needs with the requirements of others including Aboriginal groups, the resources industry, pastoralists and State Governments. The Tarraji-Yampi Ni-Cu-Au Project presents a rare first mover opportunity in Western Australia with known outcropping mineralisation and historic workings from the early 1900s which have seen no modern exploration. Three styles of mineralisation occur at Tarraji 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-Cu-Pb-Zn Project: The Illaara Au-Cu-Pb-Zn Project is located 160km northwest of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the world class Yilgarn Craton and covers 75 strike kilometres of the Illaara Greenstone Belt. The Project is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Pb-Zn VMS mineralisation. The project was acquired from Newmont Goldcorp who defined several camp-scale targets which were undrilled due to a change in corporate focus. Prior to Newmont Goldcorp, the Illaara greenstone belt was held predominantly by iron ore explorers and has seen minimal gold and base metal exploration since the 1990s. The project contains several drill ready gold targets and known VMS horizons which could produce exciting drill targets with the efficient and effective application of modern exploration technology. Rocky Dam Au-Cu-Zn Project: The Rocky Dam Au Project is located 45kms east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the world class Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of Western Australia. The Project is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits and Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag VMS mineralisation. The project has known gold and VMS occurrences with drill ready gold targets based from 1990s mineralised gold intercepts which have not been followed up. Competent Person’s Statement The information in this report that relates to geology and exploration results and planning was compiled by Mr. Dean Tuck, who is a Member of the AIG and a 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 to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Mr. Tuck consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the original reports, and that the forma and context in which the Competent Persons findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original reports.  5          DREADNOUGHT RESOURCES LIMITED Directors’ Report MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR Other than detailed below, there has not arisen in the interval between 1 July 2019 and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, to affect significantly the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity, in future years. During July 2019, the Group completed a share placement at an issue price of $0.003 and issued 165,131,627 ordinary shares to sophisticated investors for exploration and working capital purposes. The placement raised $495,395 before costs. During August 2019, an issue of 600,000 Convertible Notes at a face value of $1.00 raising was approved by shareholders. The convertible note issue raised $600,000 (before costs). Dreadnought also completed a Share Purchase Plan and issued 140,166,663 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.003 raising $420,500 before costs during August 2019. Completed a Small Shareholding Sale Facility in August 2019 via which the total number of shareholders in the Company was reduced by ~1,580 to ~750. This will significantly reduce administration costs going forward. The Group received a notification of a claim by Arrow Minerals Ltd ("Arrow") relating to the Group's acquisition of the Illaara Greenstone Belt. Subsequently, Arrow decided not to pursue the claim (see ASX announcement on 13 September 2019). The Group finalised the acquisition of the Wombarella Project for 16 million fully paid ordinary shares and $20,000 cash on 14 August 2019. The Company consolidated a significant land position prospective for Proterozoic Cu-Au, Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag VMS and Magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphides in the South Kimberley. The South Kimberley Project contains historic Cu-Au occurrences similar to those seen within the Tarraji-Yampi Project. The Board resolved to terminate the Ramelius Tanami Joint Venture Agreement and surrender the remaining tenement. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY Dreadnought Resources (ASX:DRE) is focused on greenfield exploration and the discovery for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Nickel, Copper and Gold deposits within Western Australia. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION The operations of the Group in Australia are subject to environmental regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation. In the mining industry, many activities are regulated by environmental laws as they may have the potential to cause harm and/or otherwise impact upon the environment. Therefore, the Group conducts its operations under the necessary Commonwealth and State Licences and Works Approvals to carry out ground disturbing activities including the discharge of hazardous waste and materials arising from any exploration or mining activities and development conducted by the Group on any of its tenements.

The Board is responsible for assessing relevant employment market conditions and achieving the overall, long term objective of maximising shareholder benefits, through the retention of high quality personnel. The Company does not presently emphasise payment for results through the provision of cash bonus schemes or other incentive payments based on key performance indicators of the Company given the nature of the Company's business as a mineral exploration entity. However, the Board may approve the payment of cash bonuses from time to time in order to reward individual executive performance in achieving key objectives as considered appropriate by the Board. The Company also has an Employee Incentive Option Plan approved by shareholders on 16 August 2019 that enables the Board to offer eligible employees and directors options to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in the Company.

These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The Financial Statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Dreadnought Resources Limited and its subsidiaries. (a) Basis of Preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Dreadnought Resources Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. (i) Compliance with IFRS These consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). (ii) Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and certain classes of property, plant and equipment. (iii) Critical accounting estimates The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. (b) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards Changes in the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2018. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. The Group applies, for the first time, AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018. The nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2018, but do not have an impact on the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not applied AASB 16 Leases due to the Group has no current lease commitment. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of annual financial statements. 22      Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued Financial Instruments AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. When adopting AASB 9, the Group has applied transitional relief and elected not to restate prior periods. Rather differences arising from the adoption of AASB 9 in relation to classification, measurement, and impairment are recognised in opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2018. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the introduction of AASB 9 have not been reflected in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, but are recognised in the opening balance sheet from 1 July 2018. The following table shows the adjustments recognised for each individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the change have not been included. On 1 July 2018 (the date of initial application of AASB 9), the Group’s management assessed which business models apply to the financial assets held by the Group and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate AASB 9 categories for 2019 financial year. Balance Sheet Extract 30 June 2018 as originally presented $ AASB 9 reclassification $ 1 July 2018 $ Current Assets Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets - 25,000 25,000 (25,000) 25,000 - The impact of these changes on the Group’s equity is as follows: Effect on AFS reserve $ Effect on FVOCI reserve $ Closing Balance 30 June 2018 – AASB 139 Reclassify non-trading equity instruments from AFS financial assets to financial assets at FVOCI Opening Balance 1 July 2018 – AASB 9 (25,000) 25,000 - - (25,000) (25,000) Equity investments previously classified as available-for-sale The Group elected to present in OCI changes in the fair value of all its equity investments previously classified as AFS. As a result, assets with a fair value of $25,000 were reclassified from AFS financial asset to financial assets at FVOCI and fair value losses of $25,000 were reclassified from the AFS reserve to FVOCI reserve on 1 July 2018. 23    Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued (c) Basis of Consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2019. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests. (d) Investments in associates and joint ventures Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries. A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities. A joint arrangement in which the Group has direct rights to underlying assets and obligations for underlying liabilities is classified as a joint operation. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Interests in joint operations are accounted for by recognising the Group assets (including its share of any assets held jointly), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly). Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate or joint venture is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment. The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment. (e) Comparative Amounts Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated. Where a change in comparatives has also affected the opening retained earnings previously presented in a comparative period, an opening statement of financial position at the earliest date of the comparative period has been presented. 24      Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued   (f) Income Tax The tax expense recognised in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year). Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax consequences relating to a non-monetary asset carried at fair value are determined using the assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered through sale. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively. Dreadnought Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The tax consolidated group has entered into a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity. 25    Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued   (g) Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. (h) Revenue and other income Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (i) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows in the statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. (j) Property, Plant and Equipment Where the cost model is used, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amounts or recognised as separate assets as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial year in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land is depreciated on a reducing balance method from the date that management determine that the asset is available for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets vary from 25% to 40%. 26        Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued (j) Property, Plant and Equipment The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(k)). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. (k) Financial instruments AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Accounting Policies applied from 1 July 2018 a. Classification and Measurement Except for certain trade receivables, under AASB 9, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Under AASB 9, debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Classification is based on two criteria:  The Group’s business model for managing the assets; and  Whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’). The new classification and measurement of the Group’s debt financial assets are, as follows:  Debt instruments are amortised cost for financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. This category includes the Group’s Trade and other receivables. Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measured, as follows:  Equity instruments at FVOCI, with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition. This category only includes equity instruments which the Group has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial recognition or transition. The Group reclassified its quoted equity instruments from AFS financial asset to financial assets at FVOCI and fair value losses were reclassified from the AFS reserve to FVOCI reserve on 1 July 2018. Equity instruments at FVOCI are not subject to an impairment assessment under AASB 9. Under AASB 139, the Group’s quoted equity instruments were classified as AFS financial assets. The accounting for the Group’s financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was under AASB 139. Similar to the requirements of AASB 139, AASB 9 requires contingent consideration liabilities to be treated as financial instruments measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. 27    Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued (k) Financial instruments b. Impairment The adoption of AASB 9 has fundamentally changed the Group’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing AASB 139’s incurred loss approach with a forward-looking Expected Credit Loss (ECL) approach. AASB 9 requires the Group to record an allowance for ECLs for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at FVPL. c. Compound financial instruments Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value. The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured. Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss. On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised. Accounting policies applied in prior year Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade date accounting, i.e. on the date the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred). (l) Impairment of non-financial assets   Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.  (m) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Any bank overdrafts the Group have are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. 28      Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued (n) Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.  Other long-term employee benefits The Group’s liabilities for annual leave and long service leave are included in other long term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds (2015: government bonds) that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.  The Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.  (o) Earnings per share Dreadnought Resources Ltd presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. (p) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. (q) Share Based Payments The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Binomial pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options or shares granted. This expense takes in account any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but ignores the effect of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. 29        Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued (q) Share Based Payments Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account when considering the number of options expected to vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options which are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. Revisions to the prior period estimate are recognised in profit or loss and equity. (r) Exploration and development expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. As the asset is not available for use it is not depreciated or amortised. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the period in which the decision to abandon that area is made. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. (s) Reserves FVOCI reserves represent financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income reserve. The reserve records fair value change of equity instruments. Share-based payment reserves represent fair value of the option issued to the IronRinger vendor. The equity reserve represents the equity component (conversion rights) on the issue of unsecured convertible notes. (t) Key estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: (i) Estimated impairment The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. (ii) Exploration and evaluation The Group policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in note 1 (q). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploration, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through the statement of profit or loss. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 3. 30    Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued (t) Key estimates The Group’s policy for compound financial instrument is discussed in Note 1(k). The fair value of the liability component is determined based on the contractual stream of future cash flows which is discounted at the rate of interest (14%) that would apply to an identical financial instrument without the conversion option. The Group uses its judgement to determine the discount rate based on the market interest rates existing at the end of each reporting period.

This note discloses the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing and measuring these risks. The Group’s overall risk management plan seeks to minimise potential adverse effects due to the unpredictability of financial markets. The Group does not speculate in financial assets. Specific risks    Market risk - currency risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk Credit risk Liquidity risk Financial instruments used The principal categories of financial instrument used by the Group are:     Investments in equity instruments Cash at bank Trade and other payables Convertible notes – liability component Objectives, policies and processes Specific information regarding the mitigation of each financial risk to which the Group is exposed is provided below. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. The Group maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 30-day periods. The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day period are identified monthly. At the reporting date, these reports indicate that the Group expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonably expected circumstances. 39      Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 17 Financial Risk Management (continued) The Group liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below: Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Within 1 year More than 1 year 30 June 2019 $ 30 June 2018 $ 30 June 2019 $ 30 June 2018 $ 194,580 122,907 - Convertible notes – liability component - - 560,480 Total Market risk (i) Foreign currency sensitivity 194,580 122,907 560,480 - - - All of the Group transactions are carried out in Australian Dollars, therefore the Group is not exposed to foreign exchange risk. (ii) Cash flow interest rate sensitivity The Company received shareholders’ approval for the issuance of 600,000 Convertible Notes on 16 August 2019. The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates cash flow are not affected as the Convertible Notes carry fixed interest. Interest rate risk on cash and cash equivalents is not considered to be a material risk due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Management considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality, including those that are past due. The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Net fair values Fair value estimation The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgement, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgement and the assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. 40    Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019 17 Financial Risk Management (continued) Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 30 June 2019 30 June 2018 Net Carrying Value $ Net Fair value $ Net Carrying Value $ Net Fair value $ 647,966 647,966 350,451 350,451 Investments in equity investments - - 25,000 25,000 Total financial assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Convertible notes – liability component Total financial liabilities 647,966 647,966 375,451 375,451 194,580 194,580 122,907 122,907 560,480 560,480 - - 755,060 755,060 122,907 122,907 18 Dividends There were no dividends paid during the year (2018: nil). 19 Key Management Personnel Disclosures The totals of remuneration paid to the key management personnel of Dreadnought Resources Ltd during the year are as follows: Short-term employee benefits Post-employment benefits Total Remuneration Consolidated year ended 30 June 2019 $ 30 June 2018 $ 89,238 1,562 57,186 - 90,800 57,186 The Remuneration Report contained in the Directors' Report contains details of the remuneration paid or payable to each member of the Group’s Key Management Personnel for the year ended 30 June 2019.

During July 2019, the Group completed a share placement to sophisticated shareholders for project exploration and working capital purposes. The placement raised $495,395 before costs. During August 2019, 600,000 Convertible Notes was approved by shareholders. Each convertible note has a face value of $1.00 raising $600,000 (before costs). Dreadnought also completed a Share Purchase Plan and issued 140,166,663 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.003 raising $420,500 before costs during August 2019. Completed a Small Shareholding Sale Facility in August 2019 via which the total number of shareholders in the Company was reduced by ~1,580 to ~750.

Subsequently, Arrow has decided not to pursue the claim (see ASX announcement on 13 September 2019). The Group finalised the acquisition of the Wombarella Project for 16 million fully paid ordinary shares and $20,000 cash on 14 August 2019. Consolidated a significant land position prospective for Proterozoic Cu-Au, Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag VMS and Magmatic Ni-Cu- PGE massive sulphides in the South Kimberley. The South Kimberley Project contains historic Cu-Au occurrences similar to those seen within the Tarraji-Yampi Project. The Board has resolved to terminate the Ramelius Joint Venture Agreement and surrender the remaining tenement. 26 Share based acquisition The Group purchased IronRinger Resources Pty Ltd and its controlled entities for consideration that included shares in the Group for the year ended 30 June 2019. The acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition as it did not meet the definition of a business combination as per AASB 3 Business Combinations given the nature of the acquiree as a junior exploration companies. The only material assets acquired in the acquisition was the acquiree’s mining tenements and therefore, under the Group’s accounting policies, the consideration paid by the Group has been accounted for under its accounting policies for Exploration and evaluation expenditure (Note 1 (r)), resulting in capitalisation of the amounts at the fair value of the consideration paid.

As at 30 June 2019, the Consolidated Group had net assets of $2,055,644 (2018: $513,582). During the financial year, the Consolidated Group had cash outflows from operating activities of $425,802 (2018: $260,199) and cash outflows from investing activities (including payments for exploration) of $254,422 (2018: nil). The Consolidated Group has minimum expenditure commitments of $184,000 (as set out in Note 16(a)). The Consolidated Group has prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the Consolidated Group will need to raise additional funds to meet expenditure commitments, its business plan and to meet its current level of corporate overheads to continue as a going concern. To address the future funding requirements of the Consolidated Group, since 30 June 2019, the Directors have undertaken the following initiatives:  developed a business plan that provides encouragement for investors to invest;  obtained approval for a JMEI tax credit amounting to $600,000 that can be passed on to potential investors as a further incentive to invest;  entered into discussions to determine the availability of equity funding from current or new shareholders; and  continued their focus on maintaining an appropriate level of corporate overheads in line with the Consolidated Group’s available cash resources. The Directors are confident that they will be able to complete a capital raising to provide the Consolidated Group with its funding requirements for the above period. The Directors also believe that discussions with equity providers are sufficiently progressed to reasonably believe that such equity will be available. The Directors therefore believe that it is appropriate to prepare the 30 June 2019 financial statements on a going concern basis. However, in the event that the Consolidated Group is not able to successfully complete the equity fundraising referred to above, material uncertainty would exist as to whether the Company and Consolidated Group will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and the Consolidated Group not continue as going concerns. 46    Dreadnought Resources Ltd and Controlled Entities ABN: 40 119 031 864 Directors’ Declaration The directors of the Group declare that: 1. the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended 30 June 2019 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and: a. comply with Accounting Standards, which, as stated in accounting policy note 1 to the financial statements, constitutes explicit and unreserved compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); and b. give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group; 2. the Managing Director and Company Secretary have given the declarations required by Section 295A that: a. the financial records of the Group for the financial year have been properly maintained in accordance with section 286 of the Corporations Act 2001; b. the financial statements and notes for the financial year comply with the Accounting Standards; and c. the financial statements and notes for the financial year give a true and fair view. 3. in the directors' opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and b complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.

As stated in Note 29, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 29, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Exploration and evaluation assets - Note 11 At 30 June 2019 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $2,130,136. In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group is required to assess at each reporting date if there are any triggers for impairment which may suggest the carrying value is in excess of the recoverable value. The process undertaken by management to assess whether there are any impairment triggers in each area of interest involves an element of management judgement. This area is a key audit matter due to the significant judgement involved in determining the existence of impairment triggers. Our procedures included, amongst others:  reviewing management’s area of interest considerations against AASB 6;  conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including;  tracing projects to statutory registers, exploration licenses and third party confirmations to determine whether a right of tenure existed;  enquiry of management regarding their intentions to carry out exploration and evaluation activity in the relevant exploration area, including review of management’s budgeted expenditure;  understanding whether any data exists to suggest that the carrying value of these exploration and evaluation assets are unlikely to be recovered through development or sale;  assessing the accuracy of impairment recorded for the year as it pertained to exploration interests;  evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of management’s experts in the evaluation of potential impairment triggers; and  assessing the appropriateness of the related financial statement disclosures. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Convertible Notes - Note 1(k) and Note 13 As at 30 June 2019, the Group recognised the funds received for a convertible notes totalling $600,000 as a compound financial instrument as defined by AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The notes were formally approved by the shareholders for issue at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 16 August 2019. This area is a key audit matter as management is required to exercise judgments and estimates in determining the appropriate accounting treatment of the convertible notes, including the determination of fair value of the liability component. Share based acquisition – Note 26 During the financial year the Group acquired 100% IronRinger Resources Pty Ltd and its controlled entities, which holds mining tenements in Western Australia, for a total consideration of $1,814,572 satisfied by the issue shares and options. There are a number of risks associated with the accounting for such acquisitions which include:   Incorrect application of AASB 3 Business Combinations; Incorrect determination of the purchase consideration;  Accounting estimates and judgements that do not appear reasonable;  Determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired; and  Presentation and disclosure of the acquisition. This is a key audit matter due to the size of the acquisition with pervasive impact on the Group’s financial statements and the risk considerations identified above. Our procedures included, amongst others:  inspecting the relevant convertible note agreements to assess appropriateness of management's accounting treatment for each element of the convertible note, such as the conversion feature and attaching instruments;  assessing the appropriateness of the valuation approach and the reasonableness of key inputs and assumptions to the estimates of fair value of the notes without the conversion feature for the purpose of identifying the equity component of the notes;  re-calculating management's liability and equity components for the convertible notes;  assessing the appropriateness of the subsequent measurement of liability component under the effective interest rate method;  inspecting evidence of subsequent approval and issuance of convertible notes via ASX announcements; and  assessing the appropriateness of financial statement disclosures. Our procedures included, amongst others:    reading the relevant acquisition agreements to assess appropriateness of management’s determination of the acquisition within or outside the scope of AASB 3; testing the accuracy of acquisition consideration against information inputs, including share price, and the terms of acquisition agreement; testing the identification and valuation of the identifiable assets and liabilities against available supporting documentation;  assessing the competence, capability and objectivity of management experts used in the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired;  testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations prepared by management; and  assessing the appropriateness of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the financial report The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
