Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metal Project

Phase II Drilling to Commence Shortly

Lode Resources Ltd (ASX:LDR or ‘Lode’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce Phase II diamond drilling is to commence shortly at the Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project with approximately 19 holes for 2,350m planned.

Subsequent to the success of Phase I drilling, where multiple high-grade Ag, Zn, Pb intercepts were reported from the 100% owed Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project, Phase II drilling will target a combination of extensional drilling of previously discovered lodes as well as testing newly identified surface mineralisation.

Previously reported drill hole WCS019 returned 26.7m grading 399 g/t AgEq at the Tangoa West prospect whist drill hole WCS023 returned 50.0m grading 284 g/t AgEq at the Castlereagh prospect. Drilling will test down dip extensions to >100m vertically below surface as well as strike extensions for both prospects.

In addition, new drill targets with high grade surface mineralisation have been just discovered 300m to 850m southeast of the Castlereagh prospect. Surface chip samples have graded up to 1,135 g/t Ag, 7.51% Pb, 0.58% Cu and 0.47 g/t Au. Chip/grab sampling is a spot sample technique and assay grade is not regarded as being representative of the grade of the mineralised occurrence in general nor an indication of the width of the mineralised occurrence.

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)+49Zn(%)+32Pb(%)+106Cu(%)+76Au(g/t) calculated from 10 December 2021 spot prices of US$22/oz silver, US$3400/t zinc, US$2290/t lead, US$9550/t copper, US$1800/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”. 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 (e.g. 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 (e.g.
‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Samples were collected by a qualified geologist.

20 rock samples were collected from outcrop and
historic waste dumps.

The sample weight range is between 1.10kg to
2.16kg. This is considered appropriate for this style
of sampling.

Sample locations were surveyed with a handheld
GPS (+- 5m) and marked into sample books and on
sample bags.
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).

No new drilling was carried out
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.

No new drilling was carried out.
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.

The geology, mineralogy, nature and
characteristics of mineralisation and host rock
geology, and orientation of the associated
mineralised structures, was logged by a qualified
geologist and subsequently entered into a
geochemical database. Photographs taken for
reference.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling
stages
to
maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative
of
the
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.

No drilling was carried out.

Samples were dry and not split in the field.

Sample sizes are considered appropriate.
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 are stored in a secure location and
transported to the ALS laboratory in Brisbane
QLD via a certified courier. Sample preparation
initially comprises drying (DRY-21), weighing,
crushing (CRU-31) and pulverizing to 85% < 75μm
(PUL-32).

The assay methods used were ME-ICP61 and Au-
AA25 (refer to ALS assay codes). ME-ICP61 is a
four-acid digest with ICP-AES finish with various
detection limits. Au-AA25 is a fire assayed for Au
using a 30g sample, detection is 0.01-100 ppm
Au.

Only internal laboratory checks were used for
QACQ.

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.

Laboratory results have been reviewed by Project
Manager.

Laboratory CSV files are merged with GPS Location
data files using unique sample numbers as the key.

No adjustments made to assay data.

Commercial laboratory certificates are supplied by
ALS.
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.

Sample points were recorded using a handheld
GPS (+- 5m).

Sampling points are recorded as x, y & z
coordinates.

Accuracy is assumed to be +/-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 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.

Results will not be used for resource estimation.

Sampling consisted of 7 rock samples.

The sample weight range (1.10-2.16kg) is
considered appropriate for this style of sampling.

No composting 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.

No new drilling or channel sampling was carried
out
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.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

Type,
reference
name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with
third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in the area.

The sampling was conducted on EL8933

EL8933 is 100% held by Lode Resources Ltd.

Native title does not exist over EL8933

All leases/tenements are in good standing
Exploration done by
other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Historical rock and soil sampling by Silver Mines
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

EL8933 falls within the southern portion of the
New England Orogen (NEO). EL8933 hosts
numerous base metal occurrences. The Webbs
Consol mineralisation is likely intrusion related and
hosted within the Webbs Consol Leucogranite and,
to a lesser extent, the Emmaville Volcanics.
Drill holeInformation
A summary of all information material
to
the
understanding
of
the
exploration
results
including
a
tabulation
of
the
following
information for all Material drill holes,
including, easting
and
northing,
elevation or RL, dip and azimuth,
down hole length, interception depth
and hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified
the
Competent
Person
should clearly explain why this is the
case.

No new drilling was carried out
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off
grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Where
aggregate
intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be
stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearlystated.

No new drilling was carried out

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 new drilling or channel sampling was carried
out.
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
a plans 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).

Further drilling is planned for 100% owned
Webbs Consol Project as outlined in this
report
