Lode Resources Limited ( ASX:LDR ) (“Lode” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an overview of the Company’s activities for the period ended 31 December 2022 (“Quarter”, “Reporting Period”) to accompany the Appendix 5B.
Managing Director, Ted Leschke, commented:
“I am thrilled to announce yet another successful Quarter for the Company, with the team working diligently to further develop the Webbs Consol Silver Project. The expansion of the Webbs Consol Project earlier in the Quarter was pivotal for the Company, as it increased our area under tenure fourfold, providing us with extensive additional exploration opportunities. Throughout the Quarter, we achieved significant intercepts at Castlereagh and Copycat Lode prospects, with drillhole WCS034 being a particular highlight, returning promising grades.
Further to this, drilling at the Tangoa West Lode returned the best intercept to date at the Webbs Consol Silver Project and demonstrated strong vertical continuity of Tangoa West Lode mineralisation from surface to a vertical depth of 90m. The team eagerly await pending assay results from Webbs Consol and we look forward to updating the market accordingly.
I would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support, as we continue to deliver on our objectives throughout 2023.”

Significant Intercepts at Castlereagh
Early in the Quarter, Lode announced that the ongoing Phase II drill program at Webbs Consol resulted in a significant intercept of sulphide mineralisation in drill hole WCS031 at the Castlereagh prospect. Later in the Quarter, assays were received and drill hole WCS031 intersected 47.4 m @ 153 g/t AgEq[1] extending mineralisation to 110m vertical depth.
-
47.4 m @ 153 g/t AgEq[1] from 66.5m including;
-
5.5 m @ 479 g/t AgEq[1] from 78.5m and;
-
11.0m @ 330 g/t AgEq[1] from 102.0m
The WCS031 intercept is below hole WCS023 which reported 50.0m @ 314 g/t AgEq[1] from 17.0m including 15.0m @ 632 g/t AgEq[1] from 38.1m which in turn included 4.1m @ 958 g/t AgEq[1] from 49.1m. WCS031 extends mineralisation to 110m vertical depth.

Significant drill intercepts at the Copycat Lode
During the Reporting Period, the first drillhole at the Webbs Silver Project’s Copycat prospect resulted in a significant 20.5m down hole intercept (16.0-36.5m) of sulphide mineralisation in drill hole WCS034. Sulphide distribution within this intercept ranged from disseminated to semi-massive aggregates of sphalerite and galena blebs.
This was the first drill hole into the Copycat prospect which was discovered through surface mapping and sampling. The resultant significant intercept makes Copycat the sixth sulphide lode discovered to date at the Webbs Consol Silver Project.

High Grade Silver Intercepted at Tangoa West Lode
Subsequent to the Reporting Period, Lode announced that follow up drilling at the Webbs Consol Silver Project’s Tangoa West Lode retuned 54.0m @ 304 g/t AgEq[1] from 48.3m in drill hole WCS044.
-
54.0m @ 304 g/t AgEq[1] from 48.3m including;
-
11.3m @ 497 g/t AgEq[1] from 54.0m and;
-
7.0m @ 506 g/t AgEq[1] from 81.0m including;
-
2.0m @ 1,005 g/t AgEq[1] from 86.0m
This intercept represents the highest endowment of all drill intercepts received to date at the Webbs Consol Silver Project. Details of this substantial intercept are summarised in Table 3 below.
Drill hole WCS044 extends Tangoa West Lode mineralisation to 90m vertical depth and was drilled below the previously reported WCS019 which returned 26.7m @ 421 g/t AgEq[1] from 30.1m. WCS044 drill intercept, together with the WCS045 intercepts, demonstrates strong vertical continuity of Tangoa West Lode mineralisation from surface to a vertical depth of 90m. Follow up drill hole WCS045 has been drilled below WCS044 and to a down hole depth of 242.6m with assays results due imminently. See Figure 2.

Expansion of Webbs Consol
During the Reporting Period, Lode announced that the Company was granted Exploration License 9454 by the NSW Government at its Webbs Consol Silver Project (“Webbs Consol”). The newly granted exploration Licence covers an area of 53 units, or approximately 155 square kilometres, and quadruples the area under tenure at the Webbs Consol to 70 units or approximately 203 square kilometres.
The additional exploration ground will allow Lode Resources to expand its exploration efforts over a wider area whilst continuing to focus ongoing drilling at the central Webbs Consol project area, where multiple high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn lodes have been discovered. Significant knowledge gained from extensive exploration work done to date will be used to explore for similar occurrences.
Webbs Consol has quickly become the Company's flagship project due to the high calibre of drilling results achieved to date. Drilling has returned meaningful silver, zinc and lead intercepts in 22 of the 29 holes drilled at the time of writing, or a 75% hit rate, and 14 of the 29 holes drilled resulted in intercepts with strong metal endowment (>700 AgEq g/t.m), or a 48% hit rate.

About Lode Resources
Lode Resources is an ASX-listed explorer focused on the highly prospective but underexploited New England Fold Belt in north eastern NSW. The Company has assembled a portfolio of brownfield precious and base metal assets characterised by:
-
100% ownership;
-
Significant historical geochemistry and/or geophysics;
-
Under drilled and/or open-ended mineralisation; and
-
Demonstrated high grade mineralisation and/or potential for large mineral occurrences.
This has resulted in a portfolio of assets with diverse mineralisation styles with 3 drilled since listing on the ASX in mid-2021.
-
Uralla Gold – Located 8km west of the Uralla township, this goldfield was one of the earlier goldfields discovered in NSW and a significant gold producer in the 1850’s. Despite this long history the mineralisation style has only recently been recognised as being an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) and this has strong implications for this project’s discovery potential. Lode’s holdings cover over 300 square kilometres.
-
Webbs Consol Silver – Located 16km west-southwest of Emmaville, this historical mining centre is known for high grade silver-base metal bearing lodes providing attractive targets that were essentially drill ready. Historical records of underground sampling indicated high-grade mineralisation remains open at relative shallow depths and subsequent geophysical anomalies were never followed-up by drilling.
-
Fender Copper (Trough Gully ) – Located 30km southeast of Tamworth this project has incurred surface exploration carried out by several companies since the 1960s comprising stream/soil, surface mapping, IP and magnetics however no drilling has occurred. Significant copper in drainage anomalies and several know historical workings on VMS style mineralisation provide some very attractive exploration targets.
-
Elsinore Copper – Located 30km west of Guyra this project hosts a large regional magnetic and IP anomaly with anomalous base/precious metals in geochemical sampling.
-
Thor Gold – Located 35km northwest of Manila this project hosts a large gold anomaly potentially associated with high level intrusions or major regional fault structures.
-
Tea Tree Gold – Located 24km north of Manila this project comprises an underexplored goldfield.
-
Sandon Base Metals - Located 50km northwest of Armidale, this project includes the Bundarra Copper Project and Abington Base Metal Project and being the two most prominent explorations targets. Extensive historic surface work means minimal preliminary work needed for drill target definition.
Lode’s strategy is to:
-
Systematically explore and develop the Company’s Tenements in the New England Fold Belt;
-
Target large-scale gold, silver and copper mineral systems;
-
Use modern exploration methods and best practices in cost effective programs; and
-
Advance discoveries to the development stage.

No Material Changes
The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this quarterly activities report and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the exploration activities in this market announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.
Competent Person’s Statement
The information in this Report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Mitchell Tarrant, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Tarrant, who is the Project Manager for Lode Resources, has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Tarrant has a beneficial interest as option holder of Lode Resources Ltd and consents to the inclusion in this Report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
1Use of Silver Equivalent Figures
Silver 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.
AgEq[1] (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 (%)
