The company currently has three projects, each located in Western Australia. They appear to house numerous minerals, including silver, gold, cobalt, nickel, copper, platinum group elements (PGE), and rare earth elements.
It was only yesterday that the Dreadnought share price surged 17% on news First Quantum Minerals Limited (TSE: FM) exercised its $12 million earn-in option over the Mangaroon project.
It also revealed nine drill holes at the siteâs Money Intrusion intersected nickel copper sulphide mineralisation. The find highlights the potential that the approximately 45 kilometre long intrusion could host multiple nickel, copper, and PGE deposits.
The last time the company was put into a trading halt was in late July. Then, it thawed on news of a $12 million capital raise. The proceeds were earmarked to go towards infill, extensional, and discovery drilling at the Mangaroon Rare Earth Project.
The Dreadnought share price has soared 250% so far this year. Itâs also 233% higher than it was this time last year.
