Outstanding Metal Recoveries in Initial Testwork on Trough Gully Mineralisation
Highlights
-
Very high recoveries of Zinc, Copper, Gold and Silver in concentrate from preliminary flotation test on Trough Gully Base Metals Project mineralisation
-
Recoveries up to 97.5% for Zinc, 98.8% for Copper, 97.2% for Gold and 98.8% for Silver
-
High metal recoveries indicate potential for low-cost industry standard flotation of mineralisation hosted by Trough Gully and the greater Fender Copper Project in a mining scenario
-
Phase I drilling program at Trough Gully returned:
-
➢ TGY007[1] : 7.30m @ 9.47% Zinc Equivalent from 92.1m (4.93% Zn, 1.37% Cu, 0.36 g/t Au & 10.1 g/t Ag)
-
➢ TGY003[1] : 6.90m @ 9.21% Zinc Equivalent from 50.9m
- (4.49% Zn, 1.30% Cu, 0.50g/t Au & 17.4g/t Ag)
-
Significant, previously under-recognized zinc mineralisation indicates the mineral potential of Trough Gully and the Webbs Consol Base Metal Projects may have been highly underestimated
-
DHEM and FLEM surveys to test for mineralisation extensions at Trough Gully Project to commence in May, ahead of Phase II drilling
-
Fender Copper Project, includes the Trough Gully Mine as well as two large copper drainage anomalies ‘Kasey’ (7km x 3km) and ‘Fold’ (4km x 2km)
Commenting on this preliminary metallurgical flotation test work Lode’s Managing Director, Ted Leschke said:
“ We are highly encouraged by the preliminary metallurgical test work on Trough Gully mineralisation as well as the high-grade drill results in initial drilling. Whilst there is much work to be done, high metal recoveries, high-grade mineralisation and strong metal prices is the trifecta aspiration of every exploration company”

Trough Gully 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 carried out on mineralisation intersected in drill hole TGY003[1 ] at Trough Gully. The purpose of the preliminary metallurgical test program was to determine initial flotation recoveries of the main metals of economic interest.
A representative composite bulk sample consisting of 8.80 metres (from 49.0m) of quartered drill core TGY003[1] 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 30-35% solids pulp density and 4-stage rougher stage flotation using standard reagents producing a bulk concentrate (see Photos 1-4). The rougher flotation recoveries are in Table 1. Cumulative recoveries at stage 4 were up to 97.5% for Zinc, 98.8% for Copper, 97.2% for Gold and 98.8% for Silver. These are outstanding numbers in Lode’s view.
Table 1: Cumulative 4 -stage rougher flotation recoveries of metals of interest

37.9 70.5 94.2 |
| Rghr Con 1-4 | 4.67 | 97.5 | 98.8 | 97.2 | 98.8 |
It should be noted that this preliminary flotation testwork produced a single product bulk concentrate containing both sphalerite, chalcopyrite, gold and silver minerals, in addition to pyrite which wasn’t depressed in this initial test. It is highly likely that separate concentrate products would be produced using the same process but with the main minerals of interest separated sequentially using specific reagents for each mineral. This would normally result in a slight reduction in the overall metal recoveries but an increase in metal payability and reduction in charges.

Trough Gully Drill Intercept Grade Equivalents
The completion of preliminary flotation testwork allows for the calculation of metal equivalent grade from multiple metal grades[1] as per the 2012 JORC code. Reporting a metal equivalent figure provides easy-to-understand, over-all grades as a single figure for drill hole intercepts where there are multiple metals of interest.
Whilst the Trough Gully Mine was historically operated for copper production, the contained zinc by value in drill holes TGY003[1] and TGY007[1] is actual 35% higher than the contained copper value. Under the 2012 JORC code the metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis should be the one that contributes most to the metal equivalent calculation, in this case zinc.
Phase I drilling resulted in six drill holes for 574 metres. TGY003[1] , TGY006[1] & TGY007[1 ] returned significant zinc, copper, gold and silver assays as summarised in Table 2. Both TGY006 & TGY007 reported zinc equivalent grades >9% which is considered high-grade by industry standards.
Table 2: Intercept assays for drill hole TGY003[1] , TGY006[1] & TGY007[1]

| TGY003 | 50.90 | 57.80 | 6.90 | 9.21 | 1.30 | 4.49 | 0.50 | 17.4 |
| TGY006 | 67.60 | 70.40 | 2.80 | 2.61 | 0.53 | 0.83 | 0.16 | 3.3 |
| TGY007 | 92.10 | 99.40 | 7.30 | 9.47 | 1.37 | 4.93 | 0.36 | 10.1 |
2Trough Gully zinc equivalents are based on assumptions: ZnEq(%)= Zn(%)+2.73Cu(%)+1.60Au(g/t)+0.021*Ag(g/t) calculated from 4 March 2022 sport prices of US$4,000/t zinc, US$10,800/t copper, US$2,000/oz gold, US$26/oz silver and metallurgical recoveries of 97.5%, zinc, 98.8% copper, 97.5% gold and 98.8% silver, which is 4[th] stage rougher concentration stage recoveries in test work commissioned by Lode and reported in this announcement. It is Lode’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
The intercept of 7.30m @ 9.47% ZnEq in TGY007 is located 30m below the deepest historical mine workings and demonstrates potential at depth. Prior to this campaign by Lode the Trough Gully Mine had never been drilled despite a history of copper production that occurred periodically in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. High-grade copper ore was despatched from the mine from 1899 to 1916 and a reverberatory furnace was erected on the site in 1908 (see Photo 5).
It is evident that, at both Trough Gully and Lode’s Webbs Consol Base Metal Projects, zinc was not a metal sought after during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and as such was not highlighted in historical records. This oversight has been exacerbated by an almost total absence of modern exploration, especially drilling. It implies that the overall mineral potential for a number of metal occurrences in the Fender Copper Project and others owned by Lode may be highly underestimated.

Next Steps at Trough Gully
Lode is planning to carry out down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) and fixed loop electromagnetic (FLEM) surveys, utilizing drill hole TGY007, to test for extensions at depth and along strike. At this preliminary stage it is postulated that Trough Gully Mine mineralisation is present as vertical boudinage structures. Evidence of this includes the pinching and swelling of the mineralised body and the presence of foliations (see Photo 6).
This may be the result of VMS style mineralisation being remobilised post burial due to heat and pressure (also known as metamorphic flow) and redeposited into boudins of varying
thickness. DHEM may help locate possible thicker boudins prior to the commencement of Phase II drilling.

In addition to the Trough Gully Mine, the Fender Copper Project encompasses numerous copper occurrences and copper drainage anomalism over large areas including two large copper drainage anomalies called Kasey (7km x 3km) and Fold (4km x 2km) as outlined below. These are prime exploration targets for Lode.
Fender Copper Project – multiple targets
The Fender Copper project is located 30km southeast of Tamworth. The geology is dominated by Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous Myra and Sandon Beds as well as inter-fingered Permian basalt, jasper and chert. Surface exploration carried out by several companies since the 1960s comprising stream/soil, surface mapping, IP and magnetics, however no drilling has occurred except for one very small and poorly design programme at the Fisher’s Mine prospect. Significant copper values were returned from stream sampling over two large areas (Kasey 7km x 3km, Fold 4km x 2km). This coincides with distinct large magnetic ridges and adjacent to Spring Creek fault. It can be postulated that magnetic anomalies may represent large fold structures which provides tension regime for fissure infilling of remobilised copper mineralisation.
Some 21 copper occurrences of Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) origin have been recorded over 30km strike length and are usually associated within steeply dipping shear zones that have a close spatial relationship with jasper, chloritised metabasalt and less resistant argillaceous chert. The mineralisation is typically Fe rich, followed by Cu and lesser Zn as major metals. Copper grades in small historical workings typically ranges from 2% to 4.5%, although exceptionally rich ore from the Fishers mine averaged more than 13.4% Cu.
Identified drill targets include four historical copper mines (Trough Gully, Mulla Creek, Fishers and Mt Pleasant Copper Mines) and, with further surface work, two large drainage anomaly targets based on regional stream/soil geochemical and magnetic surveys. These large anomalies could suggest potential for a sizeable occurrence.

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. • The core to be sampled was 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. • Samples were sampled by a qualified geologist. • Samples were sent to ALS in Brisbane. • 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 was good at >95% recovered from 6m downhole depth. • No core lose was recorded within the mineralised zones. |
| 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. |

| 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. |
• • • |
All stated average grades are length weighted. No grade capping has been applied. No equivalent formula has been used. |
All stated average grades are length weighted. No grade capping has been applied. No equivalent formula has been used. |

| 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’). |
• • • |
The reported historic strike and dip of the Trough mineralised lode is; Strike 360°, dip 90° (vertical). Drill holes intersected the Trough Gull mineralised structure laterallyat; TGY001 29° TGY002 n/a TGY003 35° TGY004 n/a TGY005 n/a TGY006 31° TGY007 33° |

| 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). |
• | Diamond drilling is like to be ongoing post a down hole electrometrical (DHEM) survey, utilizing drill hole TGY003 and TGY007, to test for extensions at depth and along strike. |
