SIGNIFICANT DRILL TARGET DEFINED AT WEBBS CONSOL SILVER PROJECT

Highlights

  • A substantial drill ready geochemical anomaly has been defined at Lode Resources Webbs Consol Silver Project. The anomaly footprint is the largest surface occurrence at Webbs Consol and is one order of magnitude greater than the surface expression of Tangoa West, the largest mineralised lode drilled to date at Webbs Consol resulting in multiple thick highgrade silver-base metal intercepts down to a depth of 300m.

  • The latest assay results have significantly enhanced the Webbs Consol North Prospect anomaly definition resulting in a decision to commence a first pass RC drill programme. The Webbs Consol North Prospect anomaly is defined by very high Silver (Ag) and Lead (Pb) assay values returned from both systematic soil and subcrop chip sampling over a 300m strike length.

  • Assay of soil samples have returned:

    • ➢ 16 samples >1 g/t Ag with a maximum of 6.5 g/t Ag

    • ➢ 19 samples >500 ppm Pb with a maximum of 3,410 ppm Pb

  • Assay of subcrop chip samples have returned:

    • ➢ 10 samples >10 g/t Ag with a maximum of 252 g/t Ag

    • ➢ 11 samples >5,000 ppm Pb with a maximum of 12.95 % Pb

    • ➢ 6 samples >2,000 ppm Zn with a maximum of 0.84 % Zn

  • Plans for a minimum 1,500m reverse circulation drill programme at Webbs Consol North are now well advanced. The main aim is to test the Webbs Consol North Prospect down to approximately 100m depth as well as other targets still in advanced development.

  • A follow-up diamond drill programme is expected of this and other targets, testing mineralisation below 100m depth.

  • Having raised capital in February, LDR remains fully funded for the upcoming drilling program and further exploration work.

Managing Director, Ted Leschke, commented: “The Webbs Consol North prospect is defined by an intense geochemical anomaly and as such is an extremely attractive drill target owing to its large footprint and strong metal values. This prospect has the potential for serious tonnage that could see the Webbs Consol Silver Project advance towards a stand-alone development. We are genuinely excited about the upcoming drilling programme”.

Webbs Consol Silver Project’s Exciting New Drill Target

Lode Resources Ltd ( ASX:LDR ) (“Lode”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Company’s 100% owned Webbs Consol Silver-Base Metals Project (“Webbs Consol”) located in the New England Fold Belt in north-eastern New South Wales.

A significant amount of surface work by Lode’s exploration team has defined a substantial geochemical anomaly located at the northern reaches of the Webbs Consol Silver Project where no historical workings exist. As previously reported a Loupe TEM (Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey has revealed multiple new targets of which the Loupe #1 target was the strongest and follow-up geochemical work has shown this anomaly to be highly mineralised.

This newly discovered anomaly, named Webbs Consol North is defined by very high Ag and Pb assay values returned from both systematic soil and subcrop chip sampling over a 300m strike length. Whilst some of the assay values have been previously reported the latest results have further enhanced anomaly definition resulting in a decision to commence a first pass RC drill programme.

The geochemical anomaly has NE-SW orientation coincidental with the Webbs Consol Leucogranite and Emmaville Volcanics contact. It is quite possible that superimposition of sinistral strike slip structures semi-parallel to the primary contact structure between the Webbs Consol Leucogranite and Emmaville Volcanics is an import mineral emplacement factor, especially where contact structure undulations create tension regimes within secondary structures due to differing competency of the two rock units.

Assay of soil samples have returned:

  • ➢ 16 samples grading >1 g/t Ag with a maximum of 6.5 g/t Ag

  • ➢ 19 samples grading >500 ppm Pb with a maximum of 3,410 ppm Pb

Assay of subcrop chip samples have returned:

  • ➢ 10 samples grading >10 g/t Ag with a maximum of 252 g/t Ag

  • ➢ 11 samples grading >5,000 ppm Pb with a maximum of 12.95 % Pb

  • ➢ 6 samples grading >2,000 ppm Zn with a maximum of 0.84 % Zn

It should be noted that chip sampling is a selective technique and thus not necessarily representative of the underlying mineralisation.

The Webbs Consol North Prospect anomaly footprint is the largest surface occurrence discovered to date at Webs Consol and is one order of magnitude greater than the surface expression of Tangoa West, the largest mineralised lode drilled to date at Webbs Consol resulting in multiple thick high-grade silverbase metal intercepts down to a depth of 300m including:

  • ➢ 116.1m @ 1,003 g/t AgEq from 90.5m (WCS0450

  • ➢ 149.2m @ 627 g/t AgEq from 98.0m (WCS052A)

  • ➢ 65.8m @ 904 g/t AgEq from 104.4m (WCS050)

  • ➢ 24.5m @ 1,450 g/t AgEq from 144.7m (WCS047)

  • ➢ 40.2m @ 804 g/t AgEq from 279.0m (WCS052B)

  • ➢ 33.2m @ 569 g/t AgEq from 270.0m (WCS065)

Plans for a 1,500m reverse circulation drill programme at Webbs Consol North are well advanced. The main aim of the RC drill programme is to test mineralisation below Webbs Consol North Prospect anomaly down to approximately 100m depth. It is anticipated that RC drilling will commence midNovember. Surface work will continue prior and post this drill campaign. A followed-up diamond drill programme is also expected, testing mineralisation below 100m.

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, 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, with some subsequent rough flotation of galena carried out, however 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, and it was reported that 12 spot 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 northeast-southwest fractures. No leaching or secondary enrichment has been identified.

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

Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure ofdetailedinformation.

Samples were collected by a
qualified geologist.

233 soil samples were collected

25
rock

samples
were
collected from outcrop.

The soil sample weight range is
between 0.07kg to 0.15kg. This is
considered appropriate for this style
of sampling.

The rock chip sample weight range is
between 0.91kg to 3.04kg. This is
considered appropriate for this style
of sampling.

Sample locations were surveyed with
a handheld GPS (+- 5m) and marked
into sample books and on sample
bags.
Drilling

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.





Results will not be used for resource
estimation.
Sampling consisted of 233 soil
samples.
Sampling consisted of 25 rock chip
samples.
The soil sample weight range is
between 0.07kg to 0.15kg.
The rock chip sample weight range
is between 0.91kg to 3.04kg.
No composting has been applied.
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.
No drilling or channel sampling was
carried out
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.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
No audits or reviews have been
carried out at this point.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with
third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical
sites, wilderness or national park
and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining
a
licence to operateinthe area.

The sampling was conducted on EL8933

EL8933 is 100% held by Lode Resources Ltd.

Native title does not exist over EL8933

All leases/tenements are in good standing
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal
of exploration by other parties.

Limited historic rock and soil sampling.
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 and, to a lesser extent, the
Emmaville Volcanics..
Drill hole
Information

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.

No drilling was carried out
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.

No drilling was carried out

17

==> picture [156 x 50] intentionally omitted <==


The assumptions used for any
reporting
of
metal
equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
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’).

No drilling or channel sampling was carried out.
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).

Sampling and mapping activities are
ongoing. Drilling is currently ongoing and
results will be reported in due course.
