WEBBS CONSOL SILVER PROJECT EXPLORATION UPDATE
Highlights
-
Drilling at the Webbs Consol Silver Project testing lateral extent of the Tangoa West Lode intersects 26.2m and 33.1m m of sulphide mineralisation in drill holes WCS064 and WCS065
-
Sulphide textures range from coarse disseminated blebs to semi massive veins of sphalerite with significant silver grades expected.
-
The Tangoa West Lode extends to a vertical depth of 280m and remains open at depth.
-
Geochemical testing of multiple new targets defined by a recent completed Loupe TEM (Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey is well underway.
Webbs Consol Silver Project Exploration Update
Lode Resources Ltd ( ASX:LDR ) (“Lode”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update for 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.
An additional two drill holes targeting the Tangoa West Lode at depth have been completed. The estimated intercept down hole length and minerals grades are as follow:
-
Drill hole WCS064 has intersected 26.2m of sulphide mineralisation containing an estimated 20% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) and 3% galena (PbS) from 203.3m to 229.5m. Significant silver mineralisation is also anticipated.
-
Drill hole WCS065 has intersected 33.1m of sulphide mineralisation containing an estimated 15% sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) and 2% galena (PbS) from 270.0m to 303.1m. Significant silver mineralisation is also anticipated.
Sulphide distribution within these two intercepts range from disseminated blebs of sphalerite and galena to massive veins sphalerite with significant silver grades also expected.

Drill holes WCS064 and WCS065 were designed to bisect the previous reported drill hole WCS02 so as to help define the lode’s footwall and hanging wall boundaries at approximately 190m and 290m vertical depth respectively. The strategy of defining the lode boundary at different levels by multi-directional drilling has been instrumental in defining lode orientation and targeting of extensions.

The Tangoa West Lode plunges vertical (90°) to a vertical depth of 100m and then plunges 65°-70° north below 100m to at least 300m vertical depth. This drilling strategy will be applied to other lodes in future drilling. All mineralised core has been cut, sampled and transported to ALS in Brisbane for assaying. It is estimated that the true intercepts with of WCS064 and WCS065 is 15.8m and 11.9m respectively.

Extensive multi-discipline geophysical work has been carried out by LDR as recently reported. This includes an ongoing Loupe TEM (Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey which has revealed multiple new targets in addition to high grade silver-base metal lodes discovered to date through drilling.
The Loupe Survey being undertaken is on a tight 20m line spacing. Loupe is a ground-based timedomain electromagnetic system designed to give high quality, high spatial resolution data near surface. Multiple conductive anomalies have been identified, potentially representing metal bearing sulphides and many are in areas with no historical mining and often with extensive cover. These new targets have been prioritised and are being methodical followed-up with geochemical work which is well underway.

----- End of picture text -----
As previously reported initial geochemistry work carried out on one such conductive anomaly (Loupe #1 TEM Anomaly) has discovered highly elevated metal values both in soils and outcrop over a 300m x 100m area . Soil sampling has return assay values up to 5.02g/t Ag, 1,780ppm Pb, 400ppm Zn. Rock chip sampling has returned values up to 252g/t Ag, 2.30% Pb, 0.31% Zn. Note that grab sampling is a selective technique and grades are not necessarily reflective of the underlying mineralised occurrence. Mineralisation at surface is often depleted or enriched depending on chemical weathering process. One interesting characteristic of this new discovery target is that the soil and rock chip sample results are highly anomalous in zinc values. This is unusual considering zinc is almost always highly depleted at surface due to the strong mobility of zinc during chemical weathering.
These high-grade geochemical results are highly encouraging and the highest-grade zones will be tested by initial scout drilling as part of a wider drill programme. Given the success of this initial follow-up geochemistry, several other conductive anomalies have been prioritised for similar testing via soil and rock sampling.

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.

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 ofdetailedinformation. |
• 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 0.4m to 1.1m. • Blanks and standards were inserted at >5% where appropriate. • Samples were sampled by a qualified geologist. • 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. High-grade samples triggered further OG62, OG46 and OG62h analysis. |
| 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, by what 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 100% recovered from 3m downhole depth. |
11
==> picture [156 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
| 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 holes have been logged in full. • All drill core was photographed wet and dry. |
|---|---|---|
| • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of therelevantintersectionslogged. |
||
| 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 being sampled. |
• 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. • No duplicate sampling has been conducted. • Samples intervals ranged from 0.4m to 1.1m. The average sample size was 1.0m in length. The sample size is considered appropriate for the material being sampled. • The samples were sent to ALS Brisbane for assay. • Blanks and standards were inserted at >5% where appropriate. |
| 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 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. |

• Drill hole collar locations were recorded using handheld GPS (+- 4m). • 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 beenapplied. |
• 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 estimation. • No sample compositing 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. |
• Drill holes are orientated perpendicular to the perceived strike where possible however given the pipe like nature of the Webbs Consol mineralised lodes this often is a moot point. • 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 orientation of the mineralisation intersected in at Webbs Consol is generally thought to be N-S however given the pipe like nature of the Webbs Consol mineralise lodes this often is a moot point. |

• 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. |

| 1Silver is deemed to be the appropriate metal for equivalent calculations as silver is the most common metal to all mineralisation zones. _Webbs Consol silver equivalent grades are based on assumptions: AgEq(g/t)=Ag(g/t)+61Zn(%)+33Pb(%)+107Cu(%)+88Au(g/t)_ calculated from 29 August 2022 spot metal prices of US$18.5/oz silver, US$3600/t zinc, US$2000/t lead, US$8100/t copper, US$1740/oz gold. gold and metallurgical recoveries of 97.3% silver, 98.7%, zinc, 94.7% lead, 76.3% copper and 90.8% gold which is the 4th 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. AgEq1(g/t) = Ag (g/t) + Pb (%) x Price 1 Pb (%) x Pb Recovery (%) + Zn (%) x Price 1 Zn (%) x Zn Recovery (%) Price 1 Ag (g/t) x Ag Recovery (%) Price 1 Ag (g/t) x Ag Recovery (%) + Cu (%) x Price 1 Cu (%) x Cu Recovery (%) + Au(g/t) x Price 1 Au (g/t) x Au Recovery (%) Price 1 Ag (g/t) x Ag Recovery (%) Price 1 Ag (g/t) x Ag Recovery (%) |

| 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 orientation of the mineralisation intersected in WCS064 & WCS065 is thought to be N-S. |
|
| 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 |
