HIGH-GRADE SILVER DISCOVERY EXPANDS MINERALISATION FOOTPRINT AT WEBBS CONSOL

Highlights

  • First Pass RC drilling at the Webbs Consol Silver Project testing the Webbs Consol North prospect has discovered significant silver and zinc mineralisation in several drill holes.

  • These first intercepts at Webbs Consol North are not only similar to the rich mineral endowment found in the initial drill intercepts encountered at the Tangoa West Lode, they also span a considerably larger area potentially representing multiple lodes or a larger mineralised body.

  • RC drill hole WCS070 returned:

    • 21.0m @ 122 g/t AgEq[1] , 3.76% ZnEq[1] from 2.0m including; ➢ 7.0m @ 317 g/t AgEq[1] , 9.82% ZnEq[1] from 6.0m including; ➢ 3.0m @ 592 g/t AgEq[1] , 18.33% ZnEq[1] from 9.0m.

Sulphide mineralisation present in the Webbs Consol North intercepts is coarse blebs of sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S) and minor galena (PbS) as well as semi massive veins of sphalerite. Silver mineralisation is present as tetrahedrite ((Cu,Fe,Zn,Ag)12Sb4S13) and stephanite (Ag5SbS4).

While detailed structural and orientation observations are challenging with RC drill sample returns and wide drill spacing, preliminary intercepts at Webbs Consol North echo the rich mineral endowment initially encountered at the Tangoa West Lode. However, they span a larger area, potentially representing multiple lodes or a larger mineralised body.

As previously reported, the Webbs Consol prospect was discovered through geochemistry work carried out over a conductive anomaly (Loupe #1 TEM Anomaly) where elevated metal values both in soils and outcrop existed over a 300m x 100m area. Soil sampling had returned assay values of up to 5.02g/t Ag, 1,780ppm Pb, 400ppm Zn while rock chip sampling has returned values of up to 252g/t Ag, 2.30% Pb, 0.31% Zn.

It is worth noting that numerous low-grade zones exist in addition to the outlined intercepts. In fact drill hole WCS072 is entirely mineralised from surface to end-of-hole at 61m. A follow-up programme is currently being designed to infill drill spacing as well as test mineralisation at depth at Webbs Consol North and other lodes discovered to date, including Tangoa West, alongside evaluating new targets to

Zinc Equivalent Grades

Since the commencement of drilling at the Webbs Consol Silver Project it was deemed that silver was the appropriate metal for equivalent metal 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 calculate both silver and zinc equivalent grades to demonstrate overall grades. Metal equivalent figures are a simple way to demonstrate overall grade with a single figure thus making comparisons easier for investors. All assumptions and formulae are outlined in the JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1 located in the Appendix of this release.

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, 2012 Edition - Table 1.

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria 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.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling techniques
were used to obtain samples.

The RC holes were 5inch in size.

The RC chips were logged and sample per
metre.

Samples were split using a 3-way cone
splitter.

Sample intervals were all 1m in length.

Blanks and standards were inserted at >5%
where appropriate.

Duplicate samples were taken approximately
every 20thsample.

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 RC drilling, 5inch in size.
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.

Sample recovery in fresh rock is excellent with
100% recovered from 1m downhole depth.

Sample recovery was recorded in the
geological log.

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 and colour.

Quantitative logging includes sulphide and
gangue mineral percentages.

All drill holes have been logged in full.

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.

The samples were split using a 3-way cone
splitter on the RC rig.

RC samples were sent to ALS Brisbane for
assay.

Duplicate samples were collected
approximately every 20thsample.

Samples intervals were all 1m in length.

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 were checked when assay results are
received to make sure they fall within the
accepted limits.

Duplicate samples were taken approximately
every 20thsample. These were 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.

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and
electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.


No twin holes were drilled.

Commercial laboratory certificates are
supplied by ALS.

The certified standards and blanks are
checked.

The duplicate samples are checked.
Location of data
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
RTK GPS (+/- 20mm).

Grid system used is GDA94 UTM zone 56

Down hole surveys are conducted with a
digital magnetic multi-shot camera at 30m
intervals once the drill rods were removed from
the hole (open hole).
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
this point.

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.

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.

See table below.

The orientation of the mineralisation intersected in WCS070
and WCS074 is thought to be N-S.

Only drill assays from meaningful mineralised intercepts are
tabulated below. A meaningful intercept is generally
determined as being a series of consecutive assays grading
>1g/t Ag, >0.1% Zn, >0.1% Pb, >0.1% Cu and/or >0.1 ppm
Au.

1Since 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.
