QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

September Quarter Highlights

  • During the September quarter Lode announced four batches of high-grade antimony and silver drill assay results from an ongoing extensive drill programme at the Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project located in Tasmania’s premier West Coast Mining Province.

  • These assays are for the first 18 drill holes, of 30 drill holes drilled to date, returning numerous high-grade antimony and silver intercepts with individual interval assays up to 11.35% SbEq or 4,035 g/t AgEq . Gold and tin intercept grades, which are not included in metal equivalent figures, were up to 3.62 g/t Au and 4.98% Sn.

  • The 18 drill holes with assays reported include 62 intercepts . The highest endowed mineralised intercepts encountered include:

  • 9.9m @ 2.18% SbEq or 776 g/t AgEq plus 0.63 g/t Au & 0.90% Sn (MZS19)

  • 9.2m @ 2.27% SbEq or 806 g/t AgEq plus 1.13 g/t Au & 0.77% Sn (MZS13)

  • 11.20m @ 0.44% SbEq or 157 g/t AgEq plus 0.56 g/t Au & 0.23% Sn (MZS6)

  • Drill core assay results of up to 31.1% Antimony have been received from inaugural drilling at the historic Magwood antimony mine located in the New England region of NSW and just 40km northnorthwest of the Hillgrove antimony mine. The Magwood structure can be traced for some 2.5km to the south-southeast.

  • Drill intercept assays of Stibnite mineralisation include: ➢ 9.92% Sb over 4.8m in drill hole MAG010

     - **incl. 19.61% Sb** over 2.4m in drill hole MAG010 **incl. 28.57% Sb** over 1.3m in drill hole MAG010
    
    • 1.96% Sb over 3.0m in drill hole MAG010

    • 2.20% Sb over 1.9m in drill hole MAG010

    • 19.20% Sb over 0.2m in drill hole MAG008

    • 1.28% Sb over 0.9m in drill hole MAG007

  • Lode is pleased to be advancing its two flagship antimony projects in Montezuma and Magwood at a time of continued strong antimony price realisations and heightened interest in securing new western world supply sources for this critical metal. Across Lode’s portfolio of high-quality New South Wales and Tasmanian assets, progression of Montezuma and Magwood will remain the Company’s core area of focus.

  • $3,000,000 is to be paid to LDR in November (3 weeks) and $750,000 to be paid 12 months hence from the sale of the Webbs Consol project. Pro Forma cash position after the 24[th] November of $4.58m. In addition LDR owns two separate 2% NSR royalties over both the Webbs Consol and Webbs Silver projects and LDR has received unsolicited purchasing enquiries relating to these royalties. LDR is also to be issued 115m RCM shares in November with a one-year escrow period.

Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project - September Quarter Activities[3-14]

During the September quarter Lode announced four batches of high-grade antimony and silver drill assay results from an ongoing extensive drill programme at the Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project located in Tasmania’s premier West Coast Mining Province. These high-grade antimony and silver drill intercepts also included quite significant gold, tin, copper and lead grade values.

A 50-to-60-hole drill programme (8,000m to 10,000m) is ongoing at the Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project. The drilling programme is quantifying and extending the Montezuma deposit, both down dip and along strike. All drilling to date has intercepted significantly mineralised intercepts and the mineralised structures remain open in all directions.

Assays have been received for the first 18 drill holes, of 30 drilled holes drill to date, returning numerous high-grade antimony and silver intercepts with individual interval assays up to 11.35% SbEq or 4,035 g/t AgEq. Gold and tin intercept grades, which are not included in metal equivalent figures, were up to 3.62 g/t Au and 4.98% Sn.

The 18 drill holes with assays reported include 62 intercepts of which 17 intercepts >1000 g/t.m AgEq (27%), 28 intercepts >500 g/t.m AgEq (45%) and 51 intercepts >100 g/t.m AgEq (82%).

Mineralisation is hosted in steeply dipping fissure veins with the two main structures being the semi parallel hanging wall and footwall lodes as well as numerous secondary veins. All drilling to date has intercepted significantly mineralised intercepts and the mineralised structures remain open in all directions.

The highest endowed mineralised intercepts encountered in the first 18 drill holes reported to date on four drill sections are shown in Table 1 below. Note that antimony and silver equivalent figures do not incorporate tin and gold assay figures as tin and gold recoveries have not yet been fully established.

Figure 1 on the following page summaries drill hole positions of completed drill holes with assays reported, complete drill holes with assays to be reported and planned drill holes. An initial resource is likely to be based on 300m strike x 200m depth. An additional 8,000m in drilling is planned to potentially extend resource down to 400m.

Antimony and silver are by far the most dominant metals however significant gold, lead, copper and now tin values highlight the polymetallic nature of mineralisation in the Montezuma lodes.

The Montezuma silver-antimony deposit is a structurally controlled lode, emplaced primarily within the well-known Montezuma fault and hosted by a sequence of turbidites, siltstones, sandstones and black shale units. Antimony is contained within Jamesonite, a lead-iron-antimony sulphide mineral (Pb4FeSb6S14) and is a late-stage hydrothermal mineral forming at moderate to low temperatures. Stibnite (Sb2S3) is also relatively abundant.

1Montezuma Silver and Antimony Metal Equivalent Grades

LDR is reporting both antimony and silver equivalent grade figures due to interchanging dominance of these two metals from intercept to intercept. Metal equivalent grade figures are a method of demonstrating overall metal endowment for all significant metals grades in a single grade figure for each intercept and thus allowing a simpler comparison between intercepts. Montezuma reported antimony and silver equivalent figures are based on conversion factors as follows:

  • ➢ SbEq(%) = Sb(%) + 0.00281Ag(g/t) + 0.056Pb(%) + 0.29*Cu(%)

  • ➢ AgEq(g/t) = Ag(g/t) + 355Sb(%) + 20Pb(%) + 101*Cu(%)

Metal equivalent conversion factors were calculated using 30 December 2024 metal prices of US$34,747/t antimony, US$29.1/oz silver, US$1,912/t lead and US$8,705/t copper. The antimony price was calculated as an average of several antimony products in a number of markets including:

  • ➢ antimony concentrate delivered China

  • ➢ antimony ingot FOB China

  • ➢ antimony trioxide FOB China

  • ➢ antimony trioxide in warehouse Baltimore

  • ➢ antimony ingot in warehouse Baltimore

  • ➢ antimony trioxide in warehouse Baltimore

  • ➢ antimony trioxide in warehouse Rotterdam

Metal equivalent conversion factors were calculated using a preliminary flotation test carried out by ALS Metallurgy (Burnie) in September 2019, where recoveries achieved were 74.5% antimony, 77.9% silver, 75.8% lead and 84.8% copper. It is Lode’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

2Tin and Gold Assays

Tin and Gold assay figures are not included in equivalent metal calculations as gold was not assayed in an early flotation test. ALS Metallurgy has been commissioned to complete further comprehensive flotation tests on Montezuma Silver & Antimony mineralisation including the recovery of tin and gold. This includes Quantitative X-ray Diffraction (QXRD) analysis to determine overall mineralogy.

The Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project

The Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project includes a high-grade antimony-silver deposit with initial development, advanced metallurgical test work and considerable beneficiation infrastructure. Access is via the Zeehan township located 13km to the west.

The Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project (2M-2023, EL7-2019) is located between well-known mining centres such as:

  • Rosebery (Zn,Cu,Pb) owned by MMG Ltd

  • Renison Bell (Sn) owned by Metals X Ltd and Yunnan Tin Group Company Limited

  • Henty (Au) owned by Catalyst Metals Ltd

  • Zeehan (Sn,Pb,Ag) owned by Stellar Resources Limited.

Antimony is classified as a critical metal by both the Australian Federal Government and the Tasmanian State Government, as well as the US and EU. Montezuma is Tasmania’s only antimony project.

The Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project includes a variety of mining and exploration equipment, and considerable beneficiation infrastructure located 15km northwest of the Zeehan township. Infrastructure includes connection to grid power, cone crusher, ball mill, gravity tables, spirals, tankage, raw water and a recently constructed tailings dam. Trial pilot scale beneficiation treatment of Montezuma mineralisation is planned once metallurgical parameters, flowsheet configuration and permitting are finalised.

The Montezuma silver & antimony lode is structurally controlled with strong shearing and open space fracturing along the Montezuma Fault. Modelling of this structure using drilling and surface mapping of the existing known mineralised lode shows that the Montezuma structure strikes approximately 350° and dips 65° E. Extrapolation of the interception between the modelled Montezuma structure and surface along strike was an exploration method used to map and sample lode extensions.

Historically, previous explorers focused primarily on tin (Sn) and lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) exploration and antimony was rarely assayed. Assays of mineralisation encountered in drilling to date has shown there are good geochemical associations between several elements, that being Sb-Ag-Au-Pb-Cu-Zn-Sn.

Cassiterite is a tin bearing mineral which is relatively resistant to chemical weathering due to it being an oxide (SnO2) and resistant to physical weathering due its high density (7.3 g/cm[3] ). Historic soil sampling by Electrolytic Zinc Company of Australia Ltd in the 1980’s has revealed a strong Sn anomaly associated with the Montezuma mineralisation over 500m strike.

Previous Drilling

Previous drilling at the Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project focused on a relatively small but very high-grade section of the hanging wall lode (HW). Twelve drill holes returned bonanza antimony and silver grades over approximately a 25m strike x 20 depth area of the hanging wall lode.

Development Face and Bulk Sampling

Development of the portal box cut and exploration drive has provided an opportunity for development face and bulk sampling. Previously samples were taken from three development faces up to the initial adit face, each representing a 2.4m cut (drilled, charged, blasted, mineralised/waste rock removed and stockpiled).

These development face samples have graded up to 21.4% antimony (Sb), 2,478 g/t silver (Ag) and 44.3% lead (Pb). Antimony (Sb) grades ranged from 1.54% to 21.40%, lead (Pb) grades ranged from 2.13% to 44.3% and silver (Ag) grades ranged from 93 g/t to 2,478 g/t.

Total interval grades for face sampling are 9.3% antimony (Sb), 306 g/t silver (Ag) and 16.7% lead (Pb) over 1.85m for development face LT1, 7.8% antimony (Sb), 804 g/t silver (Ag) and 10.9% lead (Pb) over 2.20m for development face LT2 and 6.2% antimony (Sb), 301 g/t silver (Ag) and 11.7% lead (Pb) over 2.00m for development face LT3.

Previously representative sample assays of mineralisation mined during box cut and portal development averaged 4.75% antimony (Sb), 239 g/t silver (Ag) and 9.36% lead (Pb) for combined mineralisation/waste batches and representative sampling averaged 9.02% antimony (Sb), 769 g/t silver (Ag) and 15.47% lead (Pb) for mineralisation only batches. The latter reconciles well with corresponding face sampling – see LT1 Total Interval in Table 4.

Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project Regional Exploration Results

During the quarter LDR reported that grab samples from historical waste dumps at the Fahlore workings have returned high-grade silver, antimony and copper assays as shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. Grab sampling is selective in nature with resultant assay grades considered to be qualitative rather than quantitative and not necessarily representative of the mined mineralisation which may actually be lower or higher in grade.

The Fahlore silver and antimony deposit mineralisation comprises jamesonite, galena, tetrahedrite and chalcopyrite and is similar in composition to the Montezuma silver & antimony deposit which is currently being drilled and located 4km to the SW.

The Fahlore workings includes series of shaft, adit and waste dumps that extend over a strike of 350 metres in a N-S direction (Figure 1).

Exploration fieldwork is ongoing with multiple targets defined using extensive soil sampling that was completed by contract field staff for Electrolytic Zinc Company in the 1980’s followed up with other exploration techniques.

Early success includes the successful rediscovery of the lost Blocks East workings after investigating Ag-Cu-Pb soil geochemical anomalies (see Figure 2). Initial rock chip sampling and mapping has been carried out and assays will be reported when received.

Lode sees the successful drill definition of the Montezuma silver & antinomy deposit as a model for discovering other such structurally controlled granite related Sb-Ag sulphide deposits in the West Coast Mining Province.

Soil anomalies defined by historical exploration provide numerous untested structural targets in the district yet to be investigated. Lode is acquiring a significant land holding in the district with the recent acquisition of tenement EL2/2020 adding 88 sqkm’s and tenement application EL6/2025 adding 71 sqkm’s.

Antimony - One of the World’s most critical metals

Antimony is classified as a critical metal by both the Australian Federal Government and the Tasmanian State Government, as well as almost every advanced western nation. Antimony markets have tightened further with China announcing the ban on antimony exports specifically to the United States on 3 December*. This curb strengthens the enforcement of existing limits on critical minerals exported from China announced last year and the more specific ban on certain antimony product exports early this year, all due to national security concerns. Antimony prices have now reached record levels due to tight supply conditions.

The Tasmanian Government recently outlined a Critical Minerals Strategy which includes the objective of growing exploration for critical minerals and supporting critical minerals projects. Montezuma, 100% owned by Lode, is Tasmania’s only antimony project**.

The drill assays in Table 1 indicate the potential for significant unmined in situ antimony mineralisation, located adjacent to existing workings that was either missed by historical miners due to a complete dearth of any drilling or as a result of “high-grading”. Two individual core assays from drill hole MAG010 graded 31.1% Sb in 82-82.6m and 26.4% Sb in 82.6-83.3m demonstrating the potential for massive stibnite style mineralisation.

Backfilled mine voids were also intercepted in seven drill holes with three returning sufficient sample material for a single assay per void as shown In Table 2. Historical mining utilised the shrink stope mining method with ore often hand sorted. This appears to have resulted in the finer stibnite mineralisation being placed underfoot as stope backfill as mining progressed upwards.

*Note the recoveries of loose mineralised stope fill as drill core is very low (approx.1%) and, whilst sampling is not selective, the resultant assays are unlikely to be sufficiently representative to be used in any resource calculation. Nevertheless, it is well known that substantial past extraction of mineralised stope fill was carried out over a significant period at the nearby Hillgrove antimony mine where historical shrink stope mining and hand sorting methods also occurred.

Stope fill with stibnite mineralisation
----- End of picture text -----*

Historical records show that Magwood’s mined grades were very high by today’s standards which is a strong indication of selective mining through hand sorting of massive stibnite mineralisation.

The vein/shear filling stibnite (Sb2S3) mineralisation at Magwood was mined historically via underground shafts and adits. Mining reached a depth of 300m below surface however there is strong evidence of selective mining, especially in the early years and, together with the lack of drilling, suggests that significant remnant mineralisation remains within the mine at grades that would be considered highgrade in today’s terms, especially given current high Sb prices.

By way of comparison the Hillgrove Mine is reported to have a Measured and Indicted (M&I) Resource grade of 1.6% Sb whilst Australia’s only currently operating antimony mine, the Costerfield Mine in Victoria, has a M&I resource grade of 3.0% Sb. Primary antimony mines are uncommon and both Hillgrove and Costerfield are considered gold mines with accessory antimony.

Lode’s initial drilling program is the first for the Magwood antimony mine and is the only significant exploration in the last 50 years despite being Australia’s primary antimony producer prior to the development of the Hillgrove Antimony and Gold Mine. Magwood is a priority target as well as a type model for Lode’s exploration planning.

Mine dump grab samples at the Magwood antimony mine have returned high grade antimony as shown in Table 9 below. Grab sampling is selective in nature with resultant assay grades considered to be qualitative rather than quantitative and not necessarily representative of the mined stibnite mineralisation which may actually be lower or higher in antimony grade. Grab sample assays graded as high as 41.7% Sb and one dump sample graded 6.14 g/t Au (sample no. R508) indicating there is potential for gold bearing lodes at depth.

New England Antimony Exploration Licences – 1,914 km[2 ]

Lode’s New England exploration licences EL9662 and EL9319 cover multiple strategic antimony prospects, including the historical Magwood antimony mine. These antimony prospects, together with Lode’s Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project located in Tasmania, forms a strategic exploration portfolio that is highly prospective for one of the world’s most critical metals.

In total there are 19 recorded antimony prospects within the Exploration Licences EL9662 and EL9319, both controlled 100% by Lode. Almost no drilling has occurred within Lode’s antimony project areas despite the geology being considered highly prospective for orogenic structurally-controlled antimony mineralisation. It is highly relevant that surface work is almost nonexistent.

The exploration licences prospective for antimony covers an area of 1,914 km[2] and forms a large proportion of the approximately 2,741km[2] of exploration licences that Lode owns in NSW. This makes Lode the largest holder of exploration ground in the New England Fold Belt.

Exploration within the New England Fold Belt has been limited since the 1970’s with one exploration hole drilled for every fourteen holes drilled in the Lachlan Fold Belt attesting to the tremendous discovery potential that may be latent within Lode’s strategic exploration portfolio. Field activities have commenced including access discussions with surface landowners.

Webbs Consol Silver Project Sale[17&18]

During the September quarter LDR announced the execution of a binding agreement with Rapid Critical Metals (“Rapid”) to divest Lode’s Webbs Consol silver project in northeast New South Wales to Rapid. The divestment comprises the transfer of two licenses containing the Webbs Consol deposit, being Webbs Consol EL 8933 and Webbs Consol Expanded EL9454. Consideration to Lode for the divestment comprises the following:

  • ➢ A$3.75 million in cash, of which, A$3 million is to be paid upon completion, with A$750,000 to be paid 12 months from completion;

  • ➢ 115 million shares in Rapid (“RCM Consideration Shares” - equivalent to 15.3% of Rapid, based on Rapid’s 638 million ordinary shares currently on issue and allowing for the issue of the 115 million Rapid shares to Lode). The RCM Consideration Shares will be voluntarily escrowed by Lode for a period of 12 months. Thereafter, Lode is to use its best endeavours to affect an in-specie distribution of these RCM Consideration Shares to Lode shareholders; and

  • ➢ a 2% NSR royalty over Webbs Consol

The transaction is subject to a shareholder approval of Rapid which is expected to be sought at a General Meeting of Rapid likely to be held in November (3 weeks). Over recent years, Lode has continued to undertake significant work with a view to progressing the Webbs Consol silver project. In June 2025, Lode announced a maiden mineral resource at Webbs Consol of 1.6Mt at 636g/t AgEq for a total of 32 million AgEq ounces see Table 1 below).

The divestment of Webbs Consol and receipt of the RCM Consideration Shares will allow Lode to benefit from the potential consolidation of combining Webbs Consol (and its resource of 32 million ounces of AgEq with the Webbs and Conrad silver projects, owned by Rapid. Rapid is expected to simultaneously look to grow the total resources between these proximately located silver dominant assets while examining a unified development scenario to bring on a new source of high-grade silver production in New South Wales. Consolidating ownership of three nearby, high-grade deposits supports potential unified mine planning, centralised processing options, and potential operating synergies. The cash component of the consideration for divesting Webbs Consol will materially strengthen the Lode balance sheet and allow Lode to continue its exploration activities at Montezuma and Magwood as the Company seeks to become an owner of multiple sources of quality antimony and silver production.

In addition to the Webbs Consol NSR LDR also owns a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) and Right of First Refusal over Rapid Critical Metal’s Limited(RCM) 100% owned Webbs Silver Project (EL5674), a completely separate project to Lode’s Webbs Consol Silver project (EL8933) located just 10km to the southwest.

The Webbs Silver Project contains a significant undeveloped JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of 2.2Mt @ 205 g/t AgEq for a contained 14.2 Moz AgEq. This Mineral Resource Estimate, using a 30 g/t Ag cut off, contains an Indicated and Inferred resource of 2.2 Mt at 140 g/t Ag, 0.15% Cu, 0.55% Pb and 1.10% Zn for a contained 9.7 Moz Ag, 3.3 Kt Cu, 12 Kt Pb and 24 kt of Zn.

Please refer to announcement dated 15 September 2025 titled “Webbs Consol Acquisition - Updated Announcement” for RCM’s Webbs silver deposit Mineral Resource Estimate.

(chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://api.investi.com.au/api/announcements/rcm/2dbc23ec-e14.pdf)

The 2% Net Smelter Royalty and the Right of First Refusal held over RCM’s Webbs Silver Project (EL 5674) are registered against the tenement in the NSW government Mining Titles Register and therefore the Net Smelter Royalty and Right of First Refusal remains with the asset as defined by the geographic boundaries of EL 5674 regardless of the tenement ownership.

About Lode Resources

Lode Resources Ltd (LDR) is an ASX-listed explorer focused on the highly prospective but underexplored New England Fold Belt in north-eastern NSW and the Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project located in Tasmanian’s premier West Coast Mining Province. The Company has assembled a portfolio of brownfield precious and base metal assets characterised by:

  • 100% ownership;

  • Significant historical geochemistry and/or geophysics;

  • Under-drilled and/or open-ended mineralisation; and

  • Demonstrated high-grade mineralisation and/or potential for large mineral occurrences.

This has resulted in a portfolio of assets with diverse mineralisation styles consisting of four core projects of current focus

  1. Montezuma Silvery & Antimony Project – Located on the west coast of Tasmania, a region well known for mining activity, the Project consists of a high-grade antimony-silver-lead deposit with initial development, advanced metallurgical test work and significant beneficiation infrastructure.

  2. Uralla Gold – Located 8km west of the Uralla township, this goldfield was one of the earlier goldfields discovered in NSW and a significant gold producer in the 1850’s. Despite this long history the mineralisation style has only recently been recognised as being an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) and this has strong implications for this project’s discovery potential. Lode’s holdings cover over 300 square kilometres.

  3. New England Antimony Project – Located in one of Australia’s most prolific antimony producing provinces, 19 antimony prospects have already been identified within the Exploration Licences (EL) EL9662 and EL9319, both controlled 100% by Lode. The project is anchored by the Magwood Mine, discovered in the 1880s and mainly worked between 1941 and 1970, and was Australia’s primary producer of antimony.
