Legacy Minerals Commences Geophysical Surveys at Mt Carrington, Follow Historical Intercepts of 8.7% Zinc and 18.7% Lead

Legacy Minerals has commenced ground geophysical surveys at its Battery and Mascotte prospects within the Mt Carrington Project in New South Wales, Australia. Fender Geophysics has begun a dipole-dipole induced polarization (DDIP) survey across six priority lines, aimed at identifying extensions to high-grade gold-silver zones at Mascotte and locating potential higher-grade copper mineralization at Battery. The project boasts significant polymetallic potential; in previous drilling campaigns, drill-hole MSDD003 returned a high-grade intercept of 18.7% lead, 8.7% zinc, and 43g/t silver over a 1-meter interval. Data from this three-week geophysical program will be integrated with ongoing surface sampling and mapping to refine geological models. Concurrently, work is underway towards a new 2026 mineral resource estimate to inform an upcoming scoping study, with follow-up drilling at Mascotte scheduled to commence shortly after the geophysical analysis is complete.
