Sixth Sulphide Lode Discovered at Webbs Consol Silver Project

Highlights

  • First drill hole into Webbs Silver Project’s Copycat prospect delivers significant sulphide intercept.

  • Hole WCS034 has intersected 20.5m of sulphide mineralisation at Copycat.

  • Represents sixth sulphide lode discovered to date at the Webbs Consol Silver Project.

  • Sulphide textures range from disseminated to semi-massive aggregates of sphalerite and galena blebs with significant silver grades anticipated.

  • Phase II drilling at the Webbs Consol Silver is ongoing with a total of 19 holes for 2,350m planned.

Copycat Prospect Drill Hole Delivers Solid Sulphide Intercept

Lode Resources Ltd (ASX:LDR or ‘Lode’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide a drilling update from the 100% owned Webbs Consol Silver Project located in the New England Fold Belt in north-eastern New South Wales.

The ongoing Phase II drill programme at the Webbs Consol Silver Project has resulted in a significant 20.5m down hole intercept (16.0-36.5m) of sulphide mineralisation in drill hole WCS034. Mineralisation content is estimated 6% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) and 3% galena (PbS). Significant silver mineralisation is also anticipated in assays. Sulphide distribution within this intercept ranges from disseminated to semi-massive aggregates of sphalerite and galena blebs.

This is the first drill hole into the Copycat prospect which was discovered through surface mapping and sampling. The resultant significant intercept makes Copycat the sixth sulphide lode discovered to date at the Webbs Consol Silver Project.

The Webbs Consol Silver Project has quickly become the Company's flagship project due to the high calibre of drilling results achieved to date. Together with the newly drilled Copycat lode six mineralised lodes have been discovered to date. As previously reported Phase I drilling has returned meaningful silver, zinc and lead intercepts in 22 of the 29 holes drilled, or a 75% hit rate, and 14 of the 29 holes drilled resulted in intercepts with strong metal endowment (>700 AgEq g/t.m), or a 48% hit rate. The top 6 drill holes ranked by mineral endowment are as follows:

  • ➢ WCS023 reported 50.0m @ 314 g/t AgEq[1] from 17.0m ( 15,708 AgEq g/t.m)

  • ➢ WCS006 reported 27.5m @ 552 g/t AgEq[1] from 104.6m ( 15,168 AgEq g/t.m)

  • ➢ WCS019 reported 27.3m @ 412 g/t AgEq[1] from 30.1m ( 11,244 AgEq g/t.m)

  • ➢ WCS007 reported 24.2m @ 450 g/t AgEq[1] from 122.9m ( 10,871 AgEq g/t.m)

  • ➢ WCS020 reported 31.0m @ 241 g/t AgEq[1] from 30.6m ( 7,471 AgEq g/t.m)

  • ➢ WCS028 reported 43.6m @ 141 g/t AgEq[1] from 138.4m ( 6,337 AgEq g/t.m)

1Silver is deemed to be the appropriate metal for equivalent calculations as silver is the most common metal to all mineralisation zones. Webbs Consol silver equivalent grades are based on assumptions: AgEq(g/t)=Ag(g/t)+61Zn(%)+33Pb(%)+107Cu(%)+88Au(g/t) calculated from 29 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, 96.3% copper and 90.8% gold which is the 4th 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”. Please note all previously reported silver equivalent grades have been updated for 29 August 2022 spot metal prices. It is Lode’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

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 northeast-southwest 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.

No new drilling assays have been reported.

Diamond drilling techniques were used to obtain
samples.

NQ2 core was logged and sample intervals
assigned based on the geology.

The core sampled was sawn in half and bagged
according to sample intervals. Intervals range from
0.3m to 1.2m.

Blanks and standards were inserted at >5% where
appropriate.

Samples were sampled by a qualified geologist.

No assays have been received at time of report for
WCS034
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 100%.

No assays have been received at time of report for
WCS034
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 holes are logged in full.

All drill core was photographed wet and dry.

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.

No assays have been received at time of report
for WCS034.

Samples were stored in a secure location and
transported to the ALS laboratory in Brisbane
QLD via a certified courier. Sample preparation
comprised drying (DRY-21), weighed, crushing
(CRU-31) and pulverised (PUL-32).

The assay methods used will be 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
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.

No assays have been received at time of report.
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.

Drill hole collar locations were recorded using a
GPS (+- 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 ofgeological

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

Drill hole spacing is considered appropriate for
explorationpurposes.

and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

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

No sample compositing 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.

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 strike orientation of the mineralisation
intersected in hole WCS034 is unknown at this
stage.
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.

of low-grade results, the
procedure used for such
aggregation
should
be
stated and some typical

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 assays have been received at time of report for WCS034.

The strike orientation of the mineralisation intersected in hole
WCS034 is unknown at this stage.
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 aplans 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.
Further work
The nature and scale of
planned further work (eg
tests for lateral extensions
or depth extensions or
large-scale
step-out
drilling).

Diamond drilling is ongoing at Webbs Consol
