Drilling Recommences at Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project Testing Multiple Targets

Highlights

  • Phase I diamond drilling has recommenced on multiples targets at the Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project.

  • Approximately 11 holes for 1,100m is planned to test along strike of the Webbs Consol main shaft, particularly to the south.

  • Some 67 historical workings and mineral occurrences have been a

  • identified by Lode of which 11 are considered high priority as well as new drill target with high grade surface mineralisation (Surface grab samples have graded up to 745 g/t Ag, 16.05% Pb, 14.00% Zn and 0.50 g/t Au) 2km south of the Webbs Consol main shaft.

  • Those high priority targets include several shafts with a history of high-grade silver production which have never been drilled and may replicate the Webbs Consol main shaft mineralised structure.

  • Recently completed initial Phase I drilling returned highly significant :

  • intercepts[1,2,3,4]

  • WCS006: 27.50m @ 468 g/t silver eq or 9.60 % zinc eq - incl. 4.40m @ 801 g/t silver eq or 16.43 % zinc eq

  • WCS007: 24.15m @ 374 g/t silver eq or 7.67 % zinc eq - incl. 10.30m @ 675 g/t silver eq or 13.85 % zinc eq

  • Extensive DHEM and FLEM programs have been booked May 2022 to test the depth extent and widths of Webbs Consol and Lucky Lucy North mineralisation ahead of Phase II drilling.

Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metal Project –

Drilling Recommences on Multiple Targets

Lode Resources Ltd (ASX:LDR or ‘Lode’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce the recommencement of drilling on multiples targets at the Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project (EL 89233). Approximately 1,000m is planned.

Subsequent to the success of initial Phase I drilling, where broad high-grade Ag, Zn, Pb mineralisation was intersected at the 100% owed Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project, multiple additional Phase I drill targets have been identified through a combination of Phase I drilling results, mapping, sampling, and an extensive historical literature review. Some 67 historical workings and mineral occurrences have been identified by Lode of which 11 are considered high priority.

In addition to Webbs Consol main shaft, high priority targets include several shafts with a history of high-grade production. Many of these targets are historical mines and government records indicate that these mines were producers of high-grade mineralisation. These mines have been located through a combination of sampling/mapping and a substantial literature review despite more recent surface remediation efforts infilling and covering past mining activities. See Table 1 and Figure 1.

In addition a new drill target with high grade surface mineralisation has been just located 2km south of the Webbs Consol main shaft. Surface grab samples have graded up to 745 g/t Ag, 16.05% Pb, 14.00% Zn and 0.50 g/t Au (see Table 2). Chip/grab sampling is a spot sample technique and assay grade is not regarded as being representative of the grade of the mineralised occurrence in general nor an indication of the width of the mineralised occurrence.

Historical reports indicate a vertical gradational zoning of mineralisation. The upper zones are believed to be richer in argentiferous galena with minor sphalerite grade and grades to a more dominant argentiferous sphalerite with minor galena at depth. It is not known if this gradation occurs at the same level in all mineral occurrences.

Furthermore, recent work indicates that there are two styles types of mineralisation present at the Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project: i) mineral emplacement through vein fillings typically found north of the Webbs Consol main shaft prospect, and ii) mineral segregation typically found in mineral occurrences in and south of the Webbs Consol main shaft prospect.

Recently completed Phase I drilling returned the following highly significant intercepts[1,2,3,4] :

Webbs Consol silver and zinc equivalent grades are based on assumptions: AgEq(g/t)=Ag(g/t)+49Zn(%)+32Pb(%)+106Cu(%)+76Au(g/t) and ZnEq(%)=Zn(%)+0.021Ag(g/t)+0.646Pb(%)+2.171Cu(%)+1.566Au(g/t) calculated from 10 December 2021 spot prices of US$22/oz silver, US$3400/t zinc, US$2290/t lead, US$9550/t copper, US$1800/oz gold and metallurgical recoveries of 97.3% silver, 98.7%, zinc, 94.7% lead, 96.3% copper and 90.8% gold which is 4[nd] stage rougher cumulative recoveries in test work commissioned by Lode and reported in LDR announcement 14 December 2021 titled “High Metal Recoveries in Preliminary Flotation Test work on Webbs Consol Mineralisation”. It is Lode’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

The estimated true width of the widest intersections in Webbs Consol main shaft prospect drill holes WCS006 and WCS007 is 14.2 metres and 10.4 metres respectively whereas the estimated true width of Lucky Lucy North prospect drill holes WCS008 and WCS009 are yet to be determined by follow-up on-section drilling.

Preliminary metallurgical test work performed on a composite sample of mineralisation intersected from drill hole WCS007 was recently reported. This has demonstrated very high recoveries of silver, zinc and lead as well as high metal grades in concentrate from a rougher preliminary flotation test and has allowed metal equivalent values to be calculated.

Webbs Consol Project Overview

Located 16km west-south-west of Emmaville, Webbs Consol was discovered in 1890 with intermittent mining up to the mid-1950s. The Webbs Consol Project (EL8933) contains several small, but high grade, silver-lead-zinc-gold deposits hosted by the Webbs Consol Leucogranite which has intruded the Late Permian Emmaville Volcanics and undifferentiated Early Permian sediments.

Several mine shafts were worked for the high-grade galena and silver content only with high-grade zinc mineralisation discarded. Mineral concentration was via basic Chilean milling techniques and sluicing. Some subsequent rough flotation of galena was carried out with no attempt to recover sphalerite.

Ore mineralogy includes galena, sphalerite, marmatite, arsenopyrite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, minor bismuth, and gold. Chief minerals are generally disseminated but also high grade “bungs” where emplacement is a combination of fracture infilling and country rock replacement. Gangue mineralogy includes quartz, chlorite and sericite with quartz occurring as veins and granular relicts.

Historical sampling shows potential for high grade silver and zinc mineralisation at Webbs Consol. It was reported that 12 samples taken from the lowest level of the main Webbs Consol shaft (“205’ Level” or 60m depth) averaged 210g/t silver, 22.6% zinc and 2.74% lead. Epithermal style mineralisation occurs in ‘en échelon’ vertical pipe like bodies at the intersection of main north-south shear and secondary northeastsouthwest fractures. No leaching or secondary enrichment has been identified.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate
to
the
minerals
under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting
the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases, more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse gold
that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Samples were collected by a qualified geologist.

7 rock samples were collected from outcrop and
historic waste dumps.

The sample weight range is between 1.11kg to
2.4kg. This is considered appropriate for this style
of sampling.

Sample locations were surveyed with a handheld
GPS (+- 5m) and marked into sample books and on
sample bags.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit
or other type, whether core is oriented and if
so,bywhat method,etc).

No new drilling was carried out
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

No new drilling was carried out.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral
Resource
estimation,
mining
studies
and
metallurgical studies.

The geology, mineralogy, nature and
characteristics of mineralisation and host rock
geology, and orientation of the associated
mineralised structures, was logged by a qualified
geologist and subsequently entered into a
geochemical database. Photographs taken for
reference.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling
stages
to
maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative
of
the
in-situ
material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material beingsampled.

No drilling was carried out.

Samples were dry and not split in the field.

Sample sizes are considered appropriate.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For
geophysical
tools,
spectrometers,
handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc,
the
parameters used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

Samples are stored in a secure location and
transported to the ALS laboratory in Brisbane
QLD via a certified courier. Sample preparation
initially comprises drying (DRY-21), weighing,
crushing (CRU-31) and pulverizing to 85% < 75μm
(PUL-32).

The assay methods used were ME-ICP61 and Au-
AA25 (refer to ALS assay codes). ME-ICP61 is a
four-acid digest with ICP-AES finish with various
detection limits. Au-AA25 is a fire assayed for Au
using a 30g sample, detection is 0.01-100 ppm
Au.

Only internal laboratory checks were used for
QACQ.

The assay methods employed are considered
appropriate for near total digestion.
Verification
of sampling
and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Laboratory results have been reviewed by Project
Manager.

Laboratory CSV files are merged with GPS Location
data files using unique sample numbers as the key.

No adjustments made to assay data.

Commercial laboratory certificates are supplied by
ALS.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Sample points were recorded using a handheld
GPS (+- 5m).

Sampling points are recorded as x, y & z
coordinates.

Accuracy is assumed to be +/-5m

Grid system used is GDA94 UTM zone 56.

Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Results will not be used for resource estimation.

Sampling consisted of 7 rock samples.

The
sample
weight
range
(1.11-2.4kg)
is
considered appropriate for this style of sampling.

No composting has been applied.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if
material.

No new drilling or channel sampling was carried
out
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Samples have been overseen by the Project
Manager during transport from site to the assay
laboratories.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

No audits or reviews have been carried out at this
point.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

EL8933 falls within the southern portion of the New
England Orogen (NEO). EL8933 hosts numerous
base metal occurrences. The Webbs Consol
mineralisation is likely intrusion related and hosted
within the Webbs Consol Leucogranite and, to a
lesser extent, the Emmaville Volcanics.
Drill holeInformation
A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration
results
including
a
tabulation
of
the
following
information for all Material drill
holes,
including,
easting
and
northing, elevation or RL, dip and
azimuth,
down
hole
length,
interception depth and hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the
case.

No new drilling was carried out
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.

Where
aggregate
intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be
stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearlystated.

No new drilling was carried out

Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known,
its
nature
should
be
reported.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).

No new drilling or channel sampling was carried out.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should
be
included
for
any
significant discovery being reported.
These should include, but not be
limited to a plans and sections.

Refer to plans and sections within report
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced
to
avoid
misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.

The accompanying document is considered to
represent a balanced report.
Other substantive
exploration data

Other
exploration
data,
if
meaningful and material, should be
reported.

All meaningful and material data is reported.
