Executive Summary

  • Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. has commenced a 4,572‑metre (15,000 ft) reverse‑circulation drill program on the Baner gold mine property in Idaho to test expanded zones of mineralization in the Main zone.
  • The program follows historic high‑grade intercepts (e.g., 8.7 g/t Au over 6.3 m; 66.0 g/t Au over 4.8 m) and aims to extend strike length and improve continuity of both high‑grade and wider low‑grade zones.
  • The drill campaign reflects the company’s confidence in its revised geological model and recent surface sampling results, indicating significant upside potential for the Baner project.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: Approximately 4,572 m (15,000 ft) of RC drilling focused on the Main zone; targeting a one‑kilometre section of the Orogrande structure.
  • Historical Intercepts Referenced:
  • 8.7 g/t Au over 6.3 m (incl. 146.7 g/t Au over 0.3 m) – ICG2018‑08
  • 66.0 g/t Au over 4.8 m – ICG2018‑15
  • 5.39 g/t Au over 5.1 m (incl. 24.27 g/t Au over 0.5 m) – ICG2018‑16
  • 20.84 g/t Au over 12.0 m (incl. 48.98 g/t Au over 4.5 m) – ICG2018‑13
  • Exploration Objectives:
  • Test continuity of high‑grade and wide low‑grade zones under a flatter dip scenario.
  • Evaluate new drill angles to capture greater potential width of mineralized zones.
  • Extend strike length and expand the Main zone’s mineralization footprint.
  • Geological Highlights: Two major north‑south structures within the Orogrande shear zone host gold mineralization; the program will test a revised interpretation that could open up the entire zone.
  • Surface Sampling: Continuous highly anomalous values identified; to be used for future target validation.
  • Qualified Person: Mike Sutton, P.Geo., Director & VP of Exploration (NI 43‑101 qualified).

Notable Quotes

“Legacy Gold’s geologists have optimized the targets to best drill and test their views of the shape and potential of previously drilled mineralized gold zones on the Baner gold mine property,” – Brian Hinchcliffe, CEO.

“We are very excited to commence our first drilling campaign… The program will look to follow‑up on previous drilling success, to extend the strike length and expand zones of mineralization within the Main zone,” – Mike Sutton, VP Exploration.
