High Metal Recoveries in Preliminary Flotation Testwork on Webbs Consol Mineralisation

Highlights

  • Very high recoveries of Silver, Zinc and Lead and high metal grades in concentrate from preliminary flotation test on Webbs Consol mineralisation

  • Silver recoveries up to 97.3%, Zinc recoveries up to 98.7% and Lead up to 94.7%

  • Indicates the potential for low-cost industry standard flotation beneficiation and a high-quality silver-zinc-lead product

  • Further drilling is planned for 100% owned Webbs Consol Project following current drilling at Lode’s 100% owned Uralla Gold and Fender (Trough Gully) Copper Projects

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.

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.

Core was prepared using standard industry best
practice.

The core was sawn in half using a diamond core
saw and half core was sent to ALS Brisbane for
assay.

The remaining core was sawn in half (ie quarter of
the original core) using a diamond core saw and
quarter core was sent to ALS Perth for
metallurgical tests as one composite sample.

No duplicate sampling has been conducted.

Sample intervals ranged from 0.2m to 1.2m. The
average sample size was 1m in length. The
sample size is considered appropriate for the
material being sampled.
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 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. These
are checked when assay results are received to
make sure they fall within the accepted limits.

The assay methods employed are considered
appropriate for near total digestion.
Verification

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 anyadjustment to assaydata.

Laboratory results have been reviewed by the
Exploration Manager.

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.

The holes drilled were for exploration purposes
and were not drilled on a grid pattern.

Drill hole spacing is considered appropriate for
exploration purposes.

The data spacing, distribution and geological
understanding is not currently sufficient for the
estimation of mineral resource estimate.

No sample compositing has been applied for
assaying.

Sample composition has been applied for
metallurgical tests.
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.

Drill holes are orientated perpendicular to the
perceived strike where possible.

The orientation of drilling relative to key
mineralised structures is not considered likely to
introduce sampling bias.

The orientation of sampling is considered
appropriate for the current geological
interpretation of the mineral style.

The WCS006 and WCS007 drill hole intersects the
Webbs Consol mineralised structure at
approximately 70° laterally.
Sample

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.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Further drilling is planned for 100% owned
Webbs Consol Project following the current
first phase drilling at Lode’s 100 % owned Uralla
Gold Project and 100% owned Fender (Trough
Gully) Copper Project
