Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metal Project – Multiple Drill Targets Delineated

Subsequent to the success of Phase I drilling, where broad high-grade Ag, Zn, Pb mineralisation was intersected at the 100% owed Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project, multiple Phase II drill targets have been identified through a combination of Phase I drilling results, mapping, sampling, and an extensive historical literature review.

Some 67 historical workings and mineral occurrences have been identified by LDR of which 10 are considered to be high priority Phase II drill targets including the recently drilled Webbs Consol main shaft prospect. Many of these targets were historical mines and government records indicate that these mines were producers of high-grade mineralisation. These mines have been located through a combination of sampling/mapping and a substantial literature review despite more recent surface remediation efforts infilling and covering past mining activities. These high priority Phase II drill targets are tabulated in Table 1 and Figure 1.

Historical reports indicate a vertical gradational zoning of mineralisation. The upper zones are believed to be richer in argentiferous galena with minor sphalerite grade and grades to a more dominant argentiferous sphalerite with minor galena at depth. It is not known if this gradation occurs at the same level in all mineral occurrences. Furthermore recent work indicates that there are two styles types of mineralisation present at the Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project. That being: 1/mineral emplacement through vein fillings typically found north of the Webbs Consol main shaft prospect, and 2/mineral segregation typically found in mineral occurrences in and south of the Webbs Consol main shaft prospect.

Phase II drill will commence at Webbs Consol immediately following the completion of Uralla Gold Project Phase I drilling. Assays are due in the coming weeks from 18 drill holes previously completed at the 100% owned Uralla Gold and Trough Gully Copper Projects.

2Webbs Consol reported silver and zinc equivalents is based on assumptions: AgEq(g/t)=Ag(g/t)+49Zn(%)+32Pb(%)+106Cu(%)+76Au(g/t) and ZnEq(%)=Zn(%)+0.021Ag(g/t)+0.646Pb(%)+2.171Cu(%)+1.566Au(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 4[nd] 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.

The estimated true width of the widest intersections in Webbs Consol main shaft prospect drill holes WCS006 and WCS007 is 14.2 metres and 10.4 metres respectively whereas the estimated true width of Lucky Lucy North prospect drill holes WCS008 and WCS009 are yet to be determined by follow-up on-section drilling.

Preliminary metallurgical test work performed on a composite sample of mineralisation intersected from drill hole WCS007 was recently reported. This has demonstrated very high recoveries of silver, zinc and lead as well as high metal grades in concentrate from a rougher preliminary flotation test and has allowed metal equivalent values to be calculated.

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 (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g.
‘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 (e.g.
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.

Core sampled for assaying were 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.

Assay samples were sent to ALS in Brisbane.

Metallurgical samples were sent to ALS in Perth.

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. Remaining core
sample for metallurgical tests were sawn in half (ie
quarter of the original core) and bagged as one
composite sample.

Rock samples comprise both rock chip samples
from outcrop and grab samples from historic
waste dumps.

Rock samples range in weight from 0.81 to 2.92kg
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%
recovered from 12m downhole depth.
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 wasphotographed wet~~and dry.

Rock samples are also photographed and given a
geological description in the field.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling
stages
to
maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative
of
the
in-situ
material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.

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.

The remaining core was sawn in half (ie quarter of
the original core) using a diamond core saw and
quarter core was sent to ALS Perth for
metallurgical tests.

No duplicate sampling has been conducted.

Sample intervals ranged from 0.2m to 1.2m. The
average sample size was 1m in length. The
sample size is considered appropriate for the
material being sampled.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For
geophysical
tools,
spectrometers,
handheld
XRF
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.

Samples were stored in a secure location and
transported to the ALS laboratory in Brisbane
QLD and ALS laboratory in Perth via a certified
courier. Sample preparation comprised drying
(DRY-21), weighed, crushing (CRU-31) and
pulverised (PUL-32).

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.

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
appropriate for near total digestion.
Verification
of sampling
and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss anyadjustment to assaydata.

Laboratory results have been reviewed by the
Exploration Manager.

Significant intersections are reviewed by the
Exploration Manager and Managing Director.

No twin holes were drilled.

Commercial laboratory certificates are supplied by
ALS.

The certified standards and blanks are checked.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Qualityand adequacyof topographic control.

Drill hole collar locations were picked up using a
RTK GPS (+- 0.025m).

Grid system used is GDA94 UTM zone 56

Down hole surveys are conducted with a digital
magnetic multi-shot camera at 30m intervals.

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 estimate.

No sample compositing has been applied for
general assaying.

Sample composition has been applied for
metallurgical tests and associated assaying.
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 WCS006 and WCS007 drill hole intersects the
Webbs Consol mineralised structure at
approximately 70° laterally.
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.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

EL8933 falls within the southern portion of the New
England Orogen (NEO). EL8933 hosts numerous
base metal occurrences. The Webbs Consol
mineralisation is likely intrusion related and hosted
within the Webbs Consol Leucogranite.
Drill holeInformation
A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration
results
including
a
tabulation
of
the
following
information for all Material drill
holes,
including,
easting
and
northing, elevation or RL, dip and
azimuth,
down
hole
length,
interception depth and hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the
case.

See tables below.

Only drill assays from meaningful mineralised
intercepts are tabulated below. A meaningful
intercept is generally determined as being a series of
consecutive assays grading >1g/t Ag, >0.1% Zn
and/or >0.1% Pb, >0.1% Cu >0.01 g/t Au

True width will be determined with additional
drilling on-section

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.

Intersection calculation are weighted to sample
length.

No grade capping has been applied.

Theassumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values are clearly state in the body of this
report.
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 historical strike and dip of the Webbs
Consol mineralised lode is; Strike 190°, dip 70-75°
east.

The WCS006 and WCS007 drill hole intersects the
Webbs Consol mineralised structure at
approximately 70° laterally (20° off perpendicular).

The exact orientation of the mineralisation
intersected in WCS008-9 is known at this stage.

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).

Further drilling is planned for 100% owned
Webbs Consol Project following the current
first phase drilling at Lode’s 100 % owned Uralla
Gold Project and 100% owned Fender (Trough
Gully) Copper Project
