QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 September 2024
September Quarter Highlights
-
2,200m, 17 hole follow up drill campaign at the Webbs Consol Silver Project commenced during the Quarter and largely completed.
-
Targeting the northern region of the Project, this drilling focused on testing high-grade discoveries demanding appraisal such as Webbs Consol North & Castlereagh.
-
Assay results from this program are expected to be released in the current Quarter.
-
Exploration planning commenced to exploit the antimony potential of the Magwood Mine, located on recently granted EL9662 and which forms the cornerstone of Lode’s New England Antimony Project.
-
Jason Beckton, a Lode Non-Executive Director since before the Company’s IPO, joined as Executive Director – Resource Development to drive value creation at Webbs Consol.
-
Post Quarter-end Heads of Agreement signed to acquire 100% of the Montezuma Antimony Project located in Tasmanian, for mainly scrip consideration, materially adding to Lode’s existing NSW antimony assets.
-
Montezuma includes a high-grade antimony-silver-lead deposit with initial development, advanced metallurgy, significant mining equipment and beneficiation infrastructure.
-
Cash at the end of the period was $1,438,000.
Lode’s co-Founder and Managing Director, Ted Leschke commented:
Lode has advanced its asset portfolio considerably this Quarter. Drilling at Webbs Consol was largely completed, focusing on the underexplored northern portions of the Project, and we expect assay results to be finalised this quarter. Meanwhile, we have further increased the optionality of our portfolio, building an antimony business inside Lode, firstly picking up the Magwood Mine in our own backyard in the New England Fold Belt and then augmenting that with an agreement to acquire the well-advanced Montezuma Antimony Project in Tasmania’s west coast.
Between Webbs Consol, ably led by Jason Beckton, our advanced and diverse antimony portfolio, as well as Uralla, we expect the overall tempo of our exploration activity to accelerate in the coming year.

Webbs Consol Silver Project
During the period follow up drilling at the Webbs Consol Silver Project commenced. The 2,200m, 17hole program was undertaken by Centurion Drilling with 13 holes and 1,850m completed, covering the priority targets. The remainder of the program consists of vertical holes planned to test major structures below basalt cover and are likely to be completed in coming months.
To date the majority of extension drilling at Webbs Consol has been carried out at Tangoa West, in the southern end of the Project, where 12 drill holes intercepted exceptionally high-grade silver mineralisation down to a vertical depth of 300m.
The recent program, however, was focused on the northern portion of Webbs Consol and had two objectives: i) testing for extensions at discovered lodes with multiple high-grade silver intercepts[11,14,15,22,24,27,35,36,37,39,40,44,47,54] & ii) drilling untested surface silver occurrences[2,3] (See Figure 2).
The first drill holes were targeted at the Webbs Consol North discovery where previously reported intercepts included 13.0m @ 193 g/t AgEq[1] from 10.0m & 21.0m @ 122 g/t AgEq[1] from 2.0m, including high-grade zones such as 779 g/t AgEq[1] over 3m and 592 g/t AgEq[1] over 3m.
Another key discovery tested was Castlereagh with previously reported intercepts of 50.0m @ 224 g/t AgEq[1] from 17.0m and 47.4m @ 112 g/t AgEq[1] from 66.5m, including high-grade zones such as 801 g/t AgEq[1] over 4.1m and 720 g/t AgEq[1] over 2.0m.
Untested surface silver occurrences drilled include the Canoon prospect where a pseudo-gossan with ~ 100m of strike has been delineated and selective grab samples have returned up to 126.0 g/t Ag[2,3] (It should be noted that grab samples are qualitative in nature and are not necessarily representative of underlying mineralisation which may be lower or higher in grade and the dimensions are unknown).
We expect to be in a position to announce assay results during the current Quarter.

The New England Antimony Project
This Project, newly added to the Lode portfolio, consists of Exploration Licences (EL) EL9662 and EL9319, both controlled 100% by Lode. With an area of 1,021km[2] EL9662 is the largest EL in the New England Fold Belt and sits within a new strategic antimony exploration portfolio of 1,914 km[2] .

----- End of picture text -----
Thus far 19 antimony prospects[56] have already been identified within these ELs as well as the historic Magwood Antimony Mine. The Magwood Mine is located approximately 57km NE of Armidale and 46km NNE of the Hillgrove Antimony and Gold Mine. Whilst the Mine was discovered in the 1880’s, it was mainly worked between 1941 and 1970 and was Australia’s primary producer of antimony.
Magwood’s mine grades were very-high by today’s standards with historical reports indicating yearly production grades ranging from 4% to 62% Sb for all available records. Production records are erratic however it is believed that the Magwood Antimony Mine’s total antimony production was approximately 5,000t. Subsequent to 1970 antimony production switched to the Hillgrove mine with output being intermittent over 30 years before last closing in 2015 due to low antimony prices.
Almost no drilling has occurred within the project area despite the geology being considered highly prospective for orogenic structurally-controlled antimony mineralisation. It is highly relevant that surface work is almost non-existent.
Preliminary field activities on EL9662 commenced during the Quarter, including access discussions with surface landowners as well as antimony prospect mapping and sampling. A detailed exploration plan is currently being configured and the Company intends to provide a further update in the current Quarter.

Montezuma Antimony Project
Subsequent to Quarter’s end Lode commenced discussions with the owners of the Montezuma Antimony Project in Tasmania[56] resulting in the Company signing a Heads of Agreement with the vendors to acquire the Project. This project includes a high-grade antimony-silver-lead deposit with initial development, advanced metallurgy, significant mining equipment and beneficiation infrastructure. The Proposed Acquisition is subject to satisfactory completion of legal, financial, technical and contractual due diligence amongst other conditions precedent.
The Montezuma Project is located between well-known mining centres such as Rosebery (Zn,Cu,Pb), Renison Bell (Sn), Henty (Au) and Zeehan(Pb,Ag). Access is via the Zeehan township located 14km to the west.
Figure 4. Montezuma Antimony Project located in Tasmania’s premier West Coast Mining Province
==> picture [452 x 337] intentionally omitted <==
The Montezuma antimony-silver-lead deposit is a structurally controlled lode, emplaced primarily within the well-known Montezuma fault and hosted by a sequence of turbidites. Antimony and lead are contained within Jamesonite, a lead-iron-antimony sulphide mineral (Pb4FeSb6S14) and is a late-stage hydrothermal mineral forming at moderate to low temperatures. This project is also prospective for copper, zinc and gold.
The Montezuma deposit is defined by surface sampling of the exposed mineralised structure over 50m strike length, development face sampling and 13 diamond drill holes which have intercepted high-grade mineralisation down to a depth of 80m. It remains open to the north, south and at depth.

Uralla Gold Project
In the June 2024 quarter assays were received[51] from the significant auger drill program at Uralla (See Figure 5 & 6). This has yielded some key observations and interpretations to underpin future exploration, including:
-
Numerous gold anomaly highs (>10) have been defined, each representing a prospective drill target.
-
289 auger samples graded >10 ppb Au, 23 auger samples graded 100 ppb Au and 3 auger samples graded 1,000 ppb Au with the highest being 1,300ppb Au.
-
Over half of the gold anomalies defined have no hard rock outcrop, potential indicate blind mineralisation, whilst other gold anomalies have enhanced previous surface work.
-
There is a strong correlation between gold and pathfinder metals including a broad association with antimony. Pathfinder elements can help define mineralised lodes which are not obvious near surface.
During the September Quarter work continued on designing the follow up drill program at Uralla using insights from the auger program. Exploration at Uralla is focused on testing for the presence of an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS) and the antimony potential of Uralla is also being considered.

Corporate
Early in the Quarter, Jason Beckon was appointed as Lode’s Executive Director – Resource Development effective as of July 9, 2024. Mr Beckton is a professional geologist with over 30 years’ experience in exploration, project development, production and management in Australia and internationally. He has been a Non-Executive Director of the Company since September 2020.
With a remit to lead the delivery of commercial outcomes at the Webbs Consol Project and move the project into JORC Resource status, Jason brings extensive silver project development experience to this asset.
Mr Beckton commenced his career with Pancontinental and Goldfields Ltd throughout Australia from the early 1990s before moving to a senior role with Gympie Gold in 2001. Subsequently, he was Bolnisi Gold NL’s Project Manager for the Palmarejo silver gold project in northern Mexico during 2004. The Palmarejo Mine, acquired by Coeur d’Alene Mines Corp in 2007 via its acquisition of Bolnisi in a transaction valued at US$1.1bn, had forecast annual production of 12moz Ag and 110koz Au beginning in 2009. As of 2023, the Palmarejo complex represents 64% of Coeur’s silver production and 32% of its gold production.
Mr Beckton also led the team at Exeter Resources Ltd in 2007 responsible for the commercial copper/gold discovery of the Caspiche Porphyry in the Maricunga Gold Copper Belt of Chile where an initial Inferred Mineral Resource was declared in September 2009 of over 1.1bn tons @ 0.94g/t AuEq, containing 33.7moz AuEq.
No significant corporate activities have occurred during the quarter.

About Lode Resources
Lode Resources is an ASX-listed explorer focused on the highly prospective but under-explored 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.
For the September quarter this has resulted in a portfolio of assets with diverse mineralisation styles consisting of three core projects of current focus.
-
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 that provide 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.
-
New England Antimony Project – Located in one of Australia’s most prolific antimony producing provinces, 19 antimony prospects have already been identified within the Exploration Licences (EL) EL9662 and EL9319, both controlled 100% by Lode. The project is anchored by the Magwood Mine, discovered in the 1880s and mainly worked between 1941 and 1970, and was Australia’s primary producer of antimony

Competent Person’s Statement
The information in this Report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Jason Beckton, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Beckton, who is Executive Director – Resource Development at Lode Resources Ltd, 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 Beckton has a beneficial interest as an 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.
1. Use of Silver and Zinc Equivalent Figures
Metal equivalent figures are a simple way to demonstrate overall grade with a single figure thus making comparisons easier for investors. Since the commencement of drilling at Webbs Consol Silver Project it was deemed that silver was the appropriate metal for equivalent calculations as silver is the most common metal to all mineralisation zones. This is still the case however zinc is becoming increasing dominant with depth and therefore LDR has decided to calculated both silver and zinc equivalent grades to demonstrate overall grades. Webbs Consol silver and zinc equivalent grades are based on assumptions:
AgEq(g/t)=Ag(g/t)+32.3Zn(%)+27.5Pb(%)+107Cu(%)+87.1Au(g/t) &
ZnEq(g/t)=0.031Ag(g/t)+Zn(%)+0.850Pb(%)+0.2.694Cu(%)+2.57Au(g/t) calculated from 12 February 2024 (previously 29 August 2022) spot metal prices of US$22.7/oz silver, US$2325/t zinc, US$2060/t lead, US$8100/t copper, US$2020/oz 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 + Cu (%) x ZnEq1(g/t) = Zn (%) + Pb (%) x + Cu (%) x |
Price 1 Pb (%) x Pb Recovery (%) + Zn (%) x Price 1 Ag (g/t) x Ag Recovery (%) Price 1 Cu (%) x Cu Recovery (%) + Au(g/t) x Price 1 Ag (g/t) x Ag Recovery (%) Price 1 Pb (%) x Pb Recovery (%) + Ag g/t) x Price 1 Zn (%) x Zn Recovery (%) Price 1 Cu (%) x Cu Recovery (%) + Au(g/t) x Price 1 Zn (%) x Zn Recovery (%) |
