New England Fold Belt – Highly Prospective but Very Under Explored
-
New England Fold Belt (FB) most significant mining period was from 1850s up to WWI
-
Estimated output at today’s prices was US$7billion or up to 20% of the entire state’s GDP for that period
-
There is just one currently operating metalliferous mine in the New England FB (Hillgrove)
-
Mining company expenditure in 2018 was US$0.2b (mainly in coal) or 2.2% of US$10.7b for entire NSW
-
Current in situ resource value is estimated to be just 2% of the entire state due a lack of exploration
-
New England FB has just 1 exploration hole for every 13 holes drilled in the Lachlan FB

Uralla Gold Project – Dominant position in a significant historic Goldfield
-
Located 8km W of the Uralla goldfield was one of the earlier goldfields discovered in NSW and a significant gold producer in the 1850’s. Lodes holdings cover over 300sq km’s
-
Uralla Granodiorite and other intrusives, which intrude Yarrowyck Granodiorite and Sandon Beds, are believed to be responsible for gold mineralisation in the Uralla Goldfield
-
Characteristics of an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) only been recently recognised. Tintina Gold Province of Alaska and Yukon is the best known example of a IRGS with >50Moz of Au defined over the last 15 years − See https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2007/5289/SIR2007-5289-A.pdf
-
“Bonanza” Dyke, N-S Structure and Felsic dykes appear to be strong controlling features within the Uralla goldfield
-
Zonation of indicator metals Bi, As, Sb, Cu, Zn and Pb is a potential tool for vectoring towards larger targets
-
Significant intercepts to date:
-
Hudson’s Prospect – Phase I scout drilling
-
➢ 15.0m @ 2.09 g/t Au (incl. 7m @ 3.65 g/t Au, incl. 4m @ 4.18 g/t Au) – KTN010
-
➢ 14.0m @ 1.24 g/t Au (incl. 2m @ 2.04 g/t Au and 3m @ 2.21 g/t Au) – KTN007
-
➢ 10.0m @ 1.32g /t Au (incl. 5m @ 2.49 g/t Au) - KTN005

Hudson’s Prospect
-
Disseminated gold mineralisation discovered through methodical field work
-
A large mineral system 1,000m x 500m
-
Anomalous arsenic in soils linked to gold mineralisation & visual arsenopyrite in outcrop equals gold grade – very useful exploration tool
-
Surface chip sample reveals wide spread multiple gold zones despite 80-90% cover
-
Broad shallow disseminated gold intercepts in Phase I drilling:
➢ KTN010: 15m @ 2.09g/t Au from 12m
Incl. 7m @ 3.65g/t Au from 15m Incl. 4m @ 4.18g/t Au from 15m
➢ KTN007: 14m @ 1.24g/t Au from 68m
Incl. 2m @ 2.04g/t Au from 9m And 3m @ 2.21g/t Au from 77m
➢ KTN005: 10m @ 1.32g/t Au from 68m
Incl. 5m @ 2.49g/t Au from 9m
-
Enhanced structural interpretation indicate dilation zones are conduit for gold bearing solutions.
-
Main structure tension zones yet to be test with drilling
-
Next steps: Phase II: test down-dip extensions of early drill results & enhanced structural/geochemical targets

Fender Copper/Zinc
-
Located 30km SE of Tamworth
-
Surface exploration carried out by several companies since the 1960s comprising stream/soil, surface mapping, IP and magnetics however no drilling has occurred
-
Significant copper values in stream sampling over two large areas (Kasey 7km x 3km, Fold 4km x 2km). Coincides with distinct large magnetic ridges and adjacent to Spring Creek fault
-
Magnetic anomalies June represent large fold structures which provides tension regime for fissure infilling of remobilised copper mineralisation
-
Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous Myra and Sandon Bed, inter-fingered Permian basalt, jasper and chert
-
21 copper occurrences of VMS origin have been recorded over 30km strike length and are hosted within steeply dipping shear zones that have a close spatial relationship with jasper, chloritised metabasalt and less resistant argillaceous chert
-
Mineralisation typically Fe rich, then Cu and Zn as major metals. Cu typically ranges 2% to 4.5%, although exceptionally rich ore from Fisher’s mine averaged 13.4% Cu. Zn was sought after during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and as such was not highlighted in historical records

• Identified drill targets:
– 1. Four copper mines walk up drill targets, never drilled
- Two large drainage anomaly targets based on regional stream/soil geochemical and magnetic surveys. Large anomaly suggest potential for sizeable occurrence

Trough Gully Copper/Zinc
-
Phase I drilling program returns significant Cu & Zn assays plus consistent Au & Ag credits at Trough Gully Copper Mine, including TGY007 intercept 30m below old workings
-
➢ TGY007: 7.30m @ 9.47% ZnEq from 92.1m
- (4.93% Zn, 1.37% Cu, 0.36 g/t Au & 10.1 g/t Ag)
-
➢ TGY003: 6.90m @ 9.21% ZnEq from 50.9m
- (4.49% Zn, 1.30% Cu, 0.50g/t Au & 17.4g/t Ag)
-
This is the first modern drill program at the historic Trough Gully Copper Mine, part of Lode’s 100%-owned Fender Copper Project
-
Intersecting significant copper and zinc mineralisation at shallow depths in a first pass drill programme has implications for other prospects such as the very large Kasey Cu anomaly
-
Significant, previously under-recognized zinc mineralisation indicates the mineral potential of Trough Gully may have been highly underestimated
-
Rougher flotation recoveries up to 97.5% for Zn, 98.8% for Cu, 97.2% for Au and 98.8% for Ag in preliminary a single product bulk concentrate
-
Follow up down hole and surface electromagnetic surveys (DHEM) to test for extensions at depth and along strike is planned prior to planned Phase II drilling

Greenfield Opportunities: Thor Gold & Tea Tree Gold
Thor Gold
-
Radiometric imagery shows thorium signatures potentially indicating shallowly buried or just unroofed granites and/or areas of related alteration. Intrusive related gold deposits are spatially associated with moderately reduced granites of felsic to intermediate composition.
-
Alternatively major structures such as the Plagyan fault may tap deep crustal fault systems providing a suitable environment for epizonal orogenic gold deposition
-
Source of 2km gold in drainage anomaly unexplained at Maules Creek
-
Newmont has pegged ground with similar geology
Tea Tree Gold
-
Historical goldfield with 21 historical workings. 93 rock chip samples averaged 2.42 g/t Au. Highest value 152g/t Au[1]
-
One drill hole returned 6.3 g/t Au over 2m from 35m but no follow up
-
No systematic soil sampling or ground geophysics
