Most of the lug is still there and there is no visible crack - it's basically just 'chipped'.
I'm inclined to agree Bob, most of the strength is still there, it's just a question of arranging some suitable in-fill to seat the nut properly.
Not knocking epoxy adhesives for one second but in such a case I feel the reinstatement of metal is required.
I'm afraid my knowledge of metal joining techniques (brazing, welding, soldering etc) is not enough. Time to consult a pro perhaps. Seems a shame to toss a block for what seems quite minor damage.
