Commenting on this preliminary metallurgical flotation test work Lodes ’s Managing Director, Ted Leschke said:
“Having recently reported solid assay results from drill hole WCS006 at the Webb Consol Main Shaft Prospect we are now further encouraged by this preliminary metallurgical test work on drill hole WCS007. Early evidence that metals of value can be recovered through an economically-viable industry standard processing route is as important a step as encountering high grade mineralisation in drill core samples. Whilst there is still a significant amount of work to be done, the excellent recovery rates and grades using standard flotation practices provides confidence that in time an in-demand high-grade concentrate with excellent payabilities can be produced.”
Webbs Consol Initial Flotation Testwork Results
Lode Resources Ltd (ASX: LDR or ‘Lode’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report highly encouraging results from preliminary flotation testwork for Webbs Consol mineralisation intersected in drill hole WCS007[1,2] . The purpose of the preliminary metallurgical test program was to determine initial flotation performance of the main metals of economic interest.
Flotation is a standard mineral beneficiation process, where after crushing and grinding, the minerals of value are concentrated and separated from minerals of no value by taking advantage of mineral hydrophobicity differences. Rougher flotation is usually the

first stage of the flotation process where the maximum amount of the valuable mineral, at as coarse a particle size as practical, is concentrated.
A representative composite bulk sample consisting of 22.95 metres (125.05m to 148.00m) of quartered drill core from mineralisation encountered in drill hole WCS007[1,2] was submitted to ALS Metallurgical Services in Perth for initial bench top flotation testwork.
The parameters of initial test work included grind size of 80% passing 75 µm and 4 stage rougher stage flotation using standard reagents producing a bulk concentrate. The rougher flotation results are outlined in detail in Table 1 however in summary:
-
Silver, zinc and lead cumulative recoveries at the 2[nd] rougher flotation stage were 94.3%, 97.0% and 92.0% respectively with total float time of 4 minutes.
-
Silver, zinc and lead cumulate recoveries at the 4[nd] rougher flotation stage were 97.3%, 98.7% and 94.7% respectively with total float time of 12 minutes.
-
Silver, zinc and lead cumulative grades at the 2[nd] rougher flotation stage were 395 g/t, 42.4% and 2.95% respectively with total float time of 4 minutes.
-
Silver, zinc and lead cumulative grades at the 4[nd] rougher flotation stage were 362 g/t, 38.4% and 2.70% respectively with total float time of 12 minutes.
It should be noted that this preliminary flotation testwork produced a bulk concentrate containing both silver minerals, sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) and galena (PbS) mineralisation in one product. See Photos 1 to 4. It is highly likely that separate concentrate products for the two minerals can be produced using the same process where typically a dedicated and initial lead flotation stage is followed by a dedicated zinc flotation stage. This will be the subject of further metallurgical tests as the Webbs Consol project develops, particularly if mineralisation of high galena content, as was historically mined, is encountered.

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 (eg 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• Diamond drilling techniques were used to obtain samples. • NQ2 core was logged and sample intervals assigned based on the geology. • Core sampled for assaying were sawn in half and bagged according to sample intervals. Intervals range from 0.2m to 1.2m. • Blanks and standards were inserted at >5% where appropriate. • Remaining core sample for metallurgical tests were sawn in half (ie quarter of the original core) and bagged as one composite sample. • Samples were sampled by a qualified geologist. • Assay samples were sent to ALS in Brisbane. • Metallurgical samples were sent to ALS in Perth. • Sample preparation comprised drying (DRY-21), weighed, crushing (CRU-31) and pulverised (PUL- 32), refer to ALS codes. • The assay methods used were ME-ICP61 and Au- AA25 (refer to ALS assay codes). ME-ICP61 (25g) is a four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Au-AA25 (30g) is a fire assay method. |
| 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). |
• All drilling is Diamond drilling (core), NQ2 in size. • Core was collected using a standard tube. • Core is orientated every run (3m) using the truecoreMT UPIX system. |
| 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. |
• Core recoveries are measured using standard industry best practice. • Core loss is recorded in the logging. • Core recovery in the surface lithologies is poor. • Core recovery in fresh rock is excellent with >99% recovered from 12m downhole depth. |
| 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. |
• Holes are logged to a level of detail that would support mineral resource estimation. • Qualitative logging includes lithology, alteration, texture, colour and structures. • Quantitative logging includes sulphide and gangue mineral percentages. • All drill core was photographed wet and dry. • All drill holes have been logged in full. |

• Samples were stored in a secure location and transported to the ALS laboratory in Brisbane QLD and ALS laboratory in Perth via a certified courier. Sample preparation comprised drying (DRY-21), weighed, crushing (CRU-31) and pulverised (PUL-32). • The assay methods used were ME-ICP61 and Au- AA25 (refer to ALS assay codes). ME-ICP61 (25g) is a four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Au- AA25 (30g) is a fire assay method. • Certified standards and blanks were inserted at a rate of >5% at the appropriate locations.
