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.

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.

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.

Laboratory results have been reviewed by the
Exploration Manager.

Significant intersections are reviewed by the
Exploration Manager and ManagingDirector.

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.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

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.
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

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.

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.
