QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 June 2025
June Quarter Highlights
-
During and subsequent to the June quarter Lode Resources Ltd (LDR) announced the first batch of high-grade antimony and silver drill assay results from extensive drill programme currently underway at the Montezuma Antimony & Silver 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. The highest endowed mineralised intercepts encountered in the first 9 drill holes include:
-
➢ 2.27% SbEq or 806 g/t AgEq plus 1.13 g/t Au & 0.77% Sn over 9.2m (MZS13) incl: 3.19% SbEq or 1133 g/t AgEq plus 1.72 g/t Au & 1.03% Sn over 6.2m (MZS13)
-
➢ 3.07% SbEq or 1092 g/t AgEq plus 0.91 g/t Au & 0.98% Sn over 1.0m (MZS12)
-
➢ 4.27% SbEq or 1519 g/t AgEq plus 0.85 g/t Au & 1.15% Sn over 3.5m (MZS11) incl: 9.16% SbEq or 3254 g/t AgEq plus 1.54 g/t Au & 3.08% Sn over 1.5m (MZS11)
-
➢ 4.39% SbEq or 1561 g/t AgEq plus 0.57 g/t Au & 0.18% Sn over 1.6m (MZS10)
-
➢ 3.66% SbEq or 1301 g/t AgEq plus 0.40 g/t Au & 1.96% Sn over 1.0m (MZS8) ➢ 2.35% SbEq or 836 g/t AgEq plus 0.31 g/t Au & 0.14% Sn over 1.6m (MZS6) ➢ 3.88% SbEq or 1378 g/t AgEq plus 0.90 g/t Au & 0.08% Sn over 2.8m (MZS5) incl: 5.14% SbEq or 1825 g/t AgEq plus 1.13 g/t Au & 0.10% Sn over 1.6m (MZS5)
-
The aim of the 50-to-60-hole drilling programme (8,000m to 10,000m) is to test for extensions of the Montezuma deposit. The drilling programme is quantifying and extending the Montezuma deposit, that remains open both down dip and along strike.
-
During the June quarter LDR announced plans to commence an inaugural drilling programme at Lode’s 100% owned Magwood Antimony Project are well advanced with all approvals in place. Drilling has commenced subsequent to the quarter with up to 15 holes planned.
-
During the June quarter LDR announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the 100% owned Webbs Consol precious and base metals project located in the New England Fold Belt in northeastern New South Wales. The MRE, classified according to the 2012 edition of the JORC Code as Inferred and Indicated Resources at a 140g/t AgEq lower cutoff, contains: 1.6 Mt @ 636 g/t AgEq for 32 M Ounces AgEq.
-
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.
-
Cash at the end of the period was $3,185,000 and Lode is fully funded for the upcoming exploration program and metallurgical testwork for the Montezuma Antimony Project.

Montezuma Antimony Project - June Quarter Activities[3-11]
During and subsequent to the June quarter Lode announced the first batch of high-grade antimony and silver drill assay results had been received from an extensive drill programme currently underway at the Montezuma Antimony & Silver 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 in progress at the Montezuma Antimony & Silver 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 9 drill holes returning numerous high-grade antimony and silver intercepts with assays up to 9.16% SbEq or 3,254 g/t AgEq. Gold and tin intercept grades, which are not included in metal equivalent figures, were up to 3.26 g/t Au and 3.08% Sn.
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 9 drill holes reported to date on two 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 investigated.

Antimony and silver are by far the most dominant metals however significant gold, lead, copper and now tin values highlight the polymetallic mineralisation in the Montezuma Lodes.
A further 10 drill holes have been completed with assaying being performed by ALS in Burnie Tasmania as well as ALS in Brisbane and Townsville due to overwhelming large number of samples requiring assaying.
The Montezuma antimony-silver 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 Antimony and Silver 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 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 figures as gold was not assayed in an early flotation test. ALS Metallurgy has been commissioned to complete further comprehensive flotation tests on Montezuma Antimony & Silver mineralisation including the recovery of tin and gold. This includes Quantitative X-ray Diffraction (QXRD) analysis to determine overall mineralogy.

The Montezuma Antimony & Silver Project
The Montezuma Antimony & Silver 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 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 almost every advanced western nation. Montezuma is Tasmania’s only antimony project.

The Montezuma antimony-silver 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 is 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 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 Antimony and Silver 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.

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**.

Magwood Antimony Project[12]
During the June quarter LDR announced plans to commence an inaugural drilling programme at Lode’s 100% owned Magwood Antimony Project are well advanced with all approvals in place. This drill programme is due to commence shortly.
The Magwood Antimony Project is the company’s second strategic antimony project and is located in the New England Fold Belt, NSW. A significant drill program at Lode’s Montezuma Antimony Project located in Tasmania is on-going with samples from multiple completed drill holes currently being assayed.
The planned Magwood Antimony Project drill program is for 15 diamond holes testing semi-parallel antimony bearing lode structures at the Magwood antimony mine in addition to the one historical mined lode. Drilling is designed to test targets ranging from shallow positions in depth to a likely down hole depth of 450m.
The Magwood antimony mine has never been drilled despite being a significant historical antimony producer and Australia’s largest primary antimony producer up to the 1970’s. The Magwood mine was mainly worked between 1941 and 1970 with recorded yearly production grades ranging from 4% to 62% Sb and the first seven years of production average 55% Sb indicating very selective mining though hand sorting of massive stibnite (71% Sb). Magwood was Australia’s largest primary antimony producer before the focus switched to the Hillgrove mine in 1969. Multiple antimony bearing lodes have been identified through exploration mapping and literature reviews. Historical mine plans and reports show that only a single lode was previously mined.
Mine dump grab samples at the Magwood antimony mine have returned high grade antimony as showing in Table 7 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.

Lode sees potential at the Magwood Antimony Project to drill test:
-
Sub-parallel antimony bearing lode structures to Magwood mine workings. Multiple antimony bearing lodes have been identified through exploration mapping and literature reviews. At least two such subparallel lodes are recorded in historical maps and surface mapping shows there are additional structures that have the potential be mineralised. It is not unusual for subparallel or oblique (en echelon) lode structures to form a “stacked” pattern where each lode is emplaced in a step like fashion in either the footwall, hanging wall or both.
-
Unmined antimony mineralisation within Magwood mine workings . Unmined mineralisation may now be considered economic grade in today’s terms considering the significant rise in antimony prices and the advent of modern mining techniques. This unmined mineralisation may be present as a dissemination halo, strike extensions of high-grade mineralisation and/or within mine pillars. Historical antimony production suggests that the highest Sb grades were targeted and ore was hand-picked to further increase head grade.
-
Down dip/plunge extensions of the Magwood mine antimony lode at depth . The suggestion of a steepening of the structure controlling mineralisation is encouraging. A dip reversal may develop if the dip of the structure over-steepens. Historical records suggest that where the dip steepens antimony grades increase.
-
Potential dilation zone 700m northeast of the Magwood deposit. It is reported that structure controlling mineralisation at Magwood can be traced >1,000m northeast. Whilst the shear zone ranges from 1 to 7 metres in width, associated semi-parallel diorites and lamprophyre dykes with associated minor pyritic mineralisation occur within a zone up to 9 metres wide. A zone of strong limonite and diorite outcrop has been reported 700 metres northeast of Magwood – this is considered encouraging. A favoured lithology for higher grade antimony mineralisation is where a shear zone cuts finer grain sediments such as mudstone and siltstone.
Magwood Antimony Mine Detail
The historic Magwood Antimony Mine is located approximately 57km NE of Armidale and 46km NNE of the Hillgrove antimony mine. Whilst the Magwood antimony mine was discovered in the 1880’s, the mine was mainly worked between 1920 and 1970 and was Australia’s primary antimony producer before the focus switched to the Hillgrove mine in 1969. Note that the Magwood mine has also been referred to in historical literature as Magward, Magword and Fishington mine.
Magwood antimony mine mineralisation is mainly present as stibnite (Sb2S3) - quartz vein style lodes emplaced in NE-SW structures bisecting interbedded mudstones and sandstones. The structurally controlled high-grade antimony lodes typically are hosted in shear zones striking 035-050º and dip steeply to the southeast. The Magwood antimony deposit is interpreted to be a localised bulge within a regional shear. Historical mine plans show that only a single lode was previously mined.
Mining reached a depth of 300m below surface and it is believed that only the highest-grade mineralisation was mined through highly selective “hand-picking”. Production records are erratic however it is believed that the Magwood Antimony Mine produced ore at an average yearly grade ranging from 4% to 61% Sb, a grade that is very-high by today’s standards. This may suggest that significant unmined mineralisation remains within the mine at grades that would be considered to be high-grade in today’s terms, especially given current high Sb prices.
From geological mapping at Magwood and observation of the rock samples seen in historical mine dumps it is inferred that mineralisation is likely to be orogenic in origin and has typical characteristics of most structurally controlled mesothermal deposits in the area, including the Hillgrove antimony mine.
16
==> picture [185 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
Stibnite mineralisation observed in Magwood’s historical waste dumps occurs as massive lumps up to 20cm in size and as very coarse-grained stibnite/siltstone/quartz breccias. Stibnite mineralisation is always associated with quartz veining and intense phyllic alteration of wall rock and breccia clasts. The extent of the phyllic alteration zone is unknown but is thought to extend several metres beyond mineralised shear zones.
The historically mine mineralised shear zone often contains a highly altered and deformed microgranite dyke that pre-dates mineralisation. The area surrounding the Magwood mine contains numerous altered and unaltered dykes that all appear to strike at 35-55 degrees and range from 10cm to more than 10m in width.
Based on observations of an exposed face at the collapsed Adit1A portal the historically mined shear zone is 4m in width. The mineralised stibnite-quartz shear/breccia structure is approximately 1m wide and positioned on the footwall contact. Based on rock sampling of historical waste dumps the highly mineralised antimony samples contain very low arsenic levels.
Historical development plans and geological mapping show stibnite mineralisation was mined over a strike length of 100-150m and down to a depth of 300m. Parallel or sub-parallel lodes occur within 50m of the main Magwood mineralised zone. Two lodes called the Boundary Lode and the Old Shaft Lode are shown on historical maps and mapped in the field. These lodes have not been significantly mined.

New England Antimony Exploration Licence
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 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 structurallycontrolled antimony mineralisation. It is highly relevant that surface work is almost nonexistent.
The area totals 1,914 km[2] and forms a large proportion of the approximately 2,949km[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[13&14]
During the June quarter LDR announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the 100% owned Webbs Consol Silver Project located in the New England Fold Belt in northeastern New South Wales. The MRE, classified according to the 2012 edition of the JORC Code as Inferred and Indicated Resources at a 140g/t AgEq lower cutoff, contains:
1.6 Mt @ 636g/t AgEq[i] g/t for 32 M Ounces AgEq[i-iv]
Webbs Consol is a historical mining centre which is known for historic high-grade silver-base metalbearing lodes. The maiden MRE is a culmination of Lode‘s collation of exploration data from a number of recent drill campaigns carried out by LDR.
‐ The result marks a significant advancement in the Company’s understanding of the Ag Zn-Pb sulphide mineralisation associated with the Webbs Consol Leucogranite in the New England Fold Belt of New South Wales. The MRE confirms the scale and quality of the Webbs Consol Ag-Zn-Pb lodes.

I. Equivalent grades are based on assumptions: AgEq(g/t)=Ag(g/t)+61Zn(%)+33Pb(%)+107Cu(%)+88*Au(g/t) calculated from 28 August 2022 spot metal prices of US$18.5/oz silver, US$3600/t zinc, US$2000/t lead, US$8100/t copper, US$1740/oz gold and metallurgical recoveries of 97.3% silver, 98.7%, zinc, 94.7% lead, 76.3% copper and 90.8% gold.
II. Recoveries derived from metallurgical test work ( LDR announcement 14 December 2021) .
III. It is Lode’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. IV. Figures are subject to rounding.
Webbs Consol is located on Lode’s wholly owned tenement EL8933, 16km west-south-west of Emmaville and 30km northeast of Glenn Innes, in the New England district of New South Wales. Access to the area is via all-weather unsealed and sealed roads. The New England area is a historic mining district with numerous historic and current projects and mines.
Webbs Consol was discovered in 1884 and worked intermittently until the 1970s. Several mine shafts were worked for high-grade galena and silver. Modern exploration commenced with CRA on historic EL1079 Exploration between 1978 and 1984. Silver Mines Ltd continued exploration on EL6239 between 2004 and 2014.
The Webbs Consol Silver Project hosts several high-grade, silver-zinc-lead mineralised pipes located over a 2km strike length within the margins of the Permian Webbs Consol Leucogranite.
Mineralisation is hosted in silica-sericite-chlorite altered pipes solely within the Webbs Consol Leucogranite. Mineralised and altered pipes are aligned along a north trending lineament subparallel to the western granite-volcanic/sediment contact. Six mineralised pipes have been delineated by LDR. A similar lineament is potentially located on the eastern margin.
Mineralogy consists of disseminated and blebby style silver-rich galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. The mineralised pipes are approximately circular of 20-50m diameter in plan view with a steep elongate plunge. The mineralised pipes have been drill defined up to 350m depth and remain open at depth. There is a likely hood of extensions and additional mineralisation with ongoing exploration.

Net Smelter Royalty owned by LDR
Lode notes that during the March quarter Silver Metals Group (ASX:SMG) was delisted and subsequently Rapid Critical Metals Limited (RCM) announced the completed acquisition of Webbs Resources Pty Ltd which is the holding company of the Webbs Silver Project (EL 5674).
LDR 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 on 9 June 2022 titled “Thomson Delivers 14 Moz Silver Equivalent Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for Webbs Deposit” for full project details including metal equivalent assumptions used by Thomson Resources Ltd.
(announcements.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20220609/pdf/459s88mt3zrkw0.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 under-explored New England Fold Belt in north-eastern NSW and the Montezuma 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
-
Montezuma 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.
-
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.
-
Webbs Consol Silver – Located 16km west-southwest of Emmaville, this historical mining centre is known for high-grade silver-base metal-bearing lodes that provide attractive targets that were essentially drill-ready. Historical records of underground sampling indicated high-grade mineralisation remains open at relative shallow depths and subsequent geophysical anomalies were never followed-up by drilling.
-
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
