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.

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]

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.

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.

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

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;

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.
