Drill hole TGY007, which intercepted of high-grade copper and zinc mineralisation is located 30m below the deepest working demonstrating open-endedness at depth. Prior to this campaign by Lode the Trough Gully Copper Mine had never been drilled despite a history of copper production that occurred periodically in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Mineralisation mined was primarily copper carbonates hosted by sheared mudstone, phyllite, siltstone and jasper, although banded and massive sulphidic ore was also found close to the surface. High-grade copper ore was despatched from the mine from 1899 to 1916 and a reverberatory furnace was erected on the site in 1908.

Next Steps at Trough Gully

A representative section of mineralisation from drill core has been submitted for metallurgical tests. Early evidence that metals of value can be recovered through an economically viable industry standard processing route is as important initial step in assessing a mineral occurrence. It also allows metal equivalent values to be calculated under the JORC code. Metal equivalent values are an easy way to demonstrate overall metal grade of intercepts via a single figure.

Lode is planning to carry out a down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey, 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 in foliation boudinage lenses. This may be the result of VMS style mineralisation being remobilised post burial due to heat and pressure (also known as metamorphic flow) and redeposit into lenses of varying thickness. DHEM may help locate possible thicker lenses 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.

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.

ASX I 15 February 2022

==> picture [83 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

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.

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.

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

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;

TGY003

TGY006

TGY007

TGY001 29°
TGY003 35°
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 TGY007, to test for extensions
at depth and along strike.
