Mineralisation Extended to 150m Depth at Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metal Project & Remains Open

Highlights

  • Phase I drilling at Lode’s Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metal Project continues to deliver thick high-grade sulphide intercepts and is transforming our understanding of Webbs Consol’s prospectivity.

  • Two mineralised lodes have now been extended at depth via latest drilling, demonstrating previously unrecognised, significant vertical potential of the Webbs Consol mineral system.

  • Drill Hole WCS028 at the Main Shaft prospect has intersected 42.0m of sulphide mineralisation from 138.4m containing an estimated 6% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S), 1% galena (PbS) and 0.5% chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). Significant silver is also anticipated in pending assays.

  • The WCS028 intercept demonstrates widening of lode mineralisation at depth and extends the lode to 150m vertically from surface, 90m below the deepest historical mine workings - this has depth potential implications for other mineralised lodes discovered at Webbs Consol.

  • Drill Hole WCS029 at the Lucky Lucy North prospect has intersected 30.5m of sulphide mineralisation from 47.4m, containing an estimated 4% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S), 1% galena (PbS) and 0.5% chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). Significant silver is also anticipated

  • To date Phase I drilling has discovered 5 thick mineralised lodes rich in Ag, Pb and Zn with lesser Cu and Au. This together with > 3km north-south strike and the latest deeper drill intercepts demonstrates the significant but previously unrecognised prospectivity of the Webbs Consol mineral system.

WCS028 Intercepts 42.0m of Sulphides at Depth

Drill hole WCS028 has intersected 42.0m of sulphide mineralisation containing an estimated 6% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) 1% galena (PbS), 0.5% chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) at the Main Shaft prospect. Significant silver is also anticipated.

The WCS028 intercept demonstrates a widening of lode mineralisation at depth, a vertical extension of 30m below drill hole WCS007, 80m below the deepest mining level and 150m vertically below surface.

Since the Main Shaft prospect was discovered in the late 1800’s, well prior to the advent of exploration drilling techniques, it is highly like mineralisation at this prospect did outcrop at surface but has since been obliterated by mining and infrastructure activities. This indicates that mineralised lodes at Webbs Consol do have the potential to exceed 150m vertically.

In addition, it is now apparent that mineralised lodes at Webbs Consol show vertical zonation with lead-silver rich mineralisation contained within higher levels of lodes transitioning to zinc-silver rich mineralization at depth. Historical mining was almost entirely focussed on lead rich mineralisation (galena) as zinc rich mineralisation (sphalerite) was not amenable to primitive gravity separation methods used at the time and also, quite possibly, the lack of offtake markets, despite silver mineralisation being associated with both minerals at Webbs Consol.

Since historical records were almost entirely focussed on the mineralisation of economic importance at the time, that being lead-silver rich mineralisation, the prospectivity of zinc-silver mineralisation at depth appears to have been completely missed by modern explorers, until now.

Obviously, recognition of this transition of lead to zinc mineralisation at depth also has, by extension, potential implications for other mineralised lodes discovered at the Webbs Consol silver-base metal project to date. It also has implications for surface exploration as zinc mineralisation is highly susceptible to surface chemical weathering and outcropping mineralisation is almost always depleted of zinc values when sampled. Thus, mineralised lodes rich in zinc at or near surface may have been completely overlooked.

WCS029 Intercepts 30.5m of Sulphides at Depth

Drill hole WCS029 has intersected 30.5m of sulphide mineralisation containing an estimated 4% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) 1% galena (PbS), 0.5% chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) at the Main Shaft prospect. Significant silver is also anticipated.

The WCS029 intercept demonstrates a transition to base metal mineralisation (sphalerite and galena) with depth as the higher intercept in drill hole WCS008 was predominantly arsenopyrite with elevated levels of gold and silver but hosted negligible base metals.

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 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.

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 to be sampled was sawn in half and
bagged according to sample intervals. Intervals
range from 0.3m to 1.1m

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
WCS028 and WCS029.
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 %.
WCS029 had 1.4m of core loss with the
mineralised zone.

No assays have been received at time of report for
WCS028 and WCS029.
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.

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.

No assays have been received at time of report.

No duplicate sampling has been conducted.

Samples intervals ranged from 0.3m to 1.1m. The
average sample size was 1m in length. The
sample size is considered appropriate for the
material being sampled.

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 WCS028 and WCS029.

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

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 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 holes WCS028 and WCS029 is
believed to be N-S and NNE-SSW respectively.
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.

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.

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 WCS028 and
WCS029.

The strike orientation of the mineralisation intersected in holes
WCS028 and WCS029 is believed to be N-S and NNE-SSW
respectively. This indicates that the true widths are
approximately 26m and 15m respectively.
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
