Executive Summary

  • Legacy Gold Mines is actively drilling the Baner Gold Mine Property in Idaho, with assay results from the first holes expected mid‑to‑late October.
  • The 2025 soil sampling program analyzed 841 samples, identifying three high‑grade target areas (up to 1.25 g/t Au) and 174 samples >10 ppb Au, supporting expanded drilling plans.
  • Historical drill intercepts on the Main Zone include 20.8 g/t Au over 12 m and 8.7 g/t Au over 6.3 m; the current program aims to test a flatter dip interpretation to increase zone width and strike length.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program
  • Commenced on the Main Zone (center of Baner property) under a 3‑year option with Champion Electric Metals Inc.
  • First assay results anticipated mid‑to‑late October 2025.

  • Targets a flatter dip interpretation to capture wider mineralized zones and extend strike length.

  • Historical Drill Intercepts (Champion Electric)

  • 20.8 g/t Au over 12.0 m
  • 8.7 g/t Au over 6.3 m

  • 27 intersections >10 m, averaging 18.6 m at 1.16 g/t Au across 21 holes (Main & NW zones).

  • 2025 Soil Sampling Program

  • Total samples taken: 841
  • Samples >10 ppb Au: 174
  • Samples >1,000 ppb Au: 2

  • Three significant target areas identified:

    • Baner SW anomaly: up to 1.25 g/t Au, ~2.2 km long × 550 m wide.
    • North‑central anomaly: up to 1.03 g/t Au, ~1.7 km long.
    • Northwest anomalies: two zones ~700 m long each.

  • Geological Context

  • Property sits on a textbook shear system with two major faults (Orogrande Fault & Orogrande West Fault) acting as fluid conduits.

  • Soil anomalies align with magnetic highs and IP conductors, indicating extensive prospective mineralization open along strike, up‑dip, and at depth.

  • QA/QC Procedures

  • Samples packed in rice bags, shipped to ALS Global (Elko, NV).
  • Assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish; ICP for other elements.

  • QA/QC inserts blanks/standards every 20 samples; ~5 % of pulps/rejects sent for duplicate analysis.

  • Qualified Person

  • Mike Sutton, P.Geo., Director & VP Exploration, reviewed and approved technical disclosure (NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“The support Legacy Gold has received from its drilling and exploration partners in its first year operating in Idaho has been excellent,” said Brian Hinchcliffe, Executive Chairman and CEO.
“The results of the surface sampling … have caused Legacy to re‑direct drilling targets as we received all necessary permitting adjustments very promptly.”
