Executive Summary

  • Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. completed its planned 16‑hole, ~9,000 ft (2,743 m) surface drilling program on the Baner gold mine property in central Idaho.
  • All holes were drilled in the Main zone to test continuity of high‑grade and wider low‑grade mineralization along a flatter dip interpretation of the Orogrande shear structure.
  • Assay results are still pending; the company will shift focus to evaluating additional projects in Canada and the United States once results are received.

Key Details

  • Drilling Scope: 16 holes, ~9,000 ft (2,743 m) total depth completed across the Main zone of the Baner property.
  • Program Objective: Verify flatter dip interpretation, extend strike length, and expand mineralized zones within the Main zone; follow‑up to historic drilling that returned up to 20.8 g/t Au over 12.0 m and 8.7 g/t Au over 6.3 m.
  • Historical Context: The Baner property lies in Idaho’s historic Orogrande gold district, previously explored by Champion Electric Metals with 27 intersections >10 m averaging 1.16 g/t Au over 18.6 m.
  • Assay Status: All assays from the 2025 drill program are pending; no quantitative results disclosed at this time.
  • Qualified Person: Mike Sutton, P.Geo., Director & VP of Exploration, reviewed and approved the technical disclosure per NI 43‑101.
  • Future Plans: Upon receipt of assay data, Legacy will evaluate other Canadian and U.S. projects in its pipeline.

Notable Quotes

“Completing the roughly 9,000 feet of drilling across the targets in the Main zone of the property provides valuable information and allows us to further study the regional potential our team sees in the Orogrande gold mining district,” – Brian Hinchcliffe, President & CEO, Legacy Gold Mines Ltd.
