Chairman’s Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
I am pleased to present Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited’s (ASX: LGM, Legacy Minerals or the Company)
fifth Annual Report to our shareholders following our successful initial public offering and listing on the
Australian Securities Exchange in 2021.
We are pleased to report significant activity in the 2025 financial year across our ten projects in the
prospective Lachlan Fold Belt, the New England Fold Belt and the Thomson Orogen of New South Wales
which can be broadly classified as follows:
(i)
Intense activity at the Mt Carrington Project (previously known as the Drake Project) and the
Thomson Project.
(ii)
Continued activity under our expanded joint venture arrangements that minimise dilution and
financing risk with partner funding.
(iii)
Steady progress and maintenance of tenements in good order at our remaining, wholly-owned
Projects.
With respect to the first category, Legacy Minerals announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate
(MRE) for the Mt Carrington Project. The total Resource now stands at 34Mt containing 1.2 million ounces
of gold-equivalent resources.
Based on the updated MRE, we completed a Stage 1 Scoping Study based only on the Mt Carrington goldrich deposits. The results of the Study demonstrated robust economics and led to the post year-end
engagement of Ausenco Pty Ltd, a global leader in engineering, consulting and project delivery, to complete
a Metallurgical Bridging Study to inform the potential processing pathways to be considered for the Stage 2
Scoping Study of the Mt Carrington Project.
The results also provided valuable information to help drive potential MRE growth through in-fill, expansion
and exploration drilling. Subsequently, drilling approvals have been received from the NSW Government for
Legacy Mineral’s inaugural drilling program at the Mt Carrington Project.
At the Thomson Project, Legacy Minerals completed drilling of two large gold-copper targets during the
reporting period to test for interpreted intrusion related, gold and copper systems. In addition, more than
1,000m of previously unsampled historical drill core was sent for assaying, including zones of observed
mineralisation and alteration. Further, Red Hill Minerals acquired the 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty originally
granted as part of the purchase terms for the Project. The royalty acquisition supports our view that the
Thomson Project presents a large-scale, gold and copper discovery opportunity.
With respect to the second category, the following results were recorded during the reporting for our
projects operated under joint venture arrangements:
•
The Company converted the exploration alliance with Earth AI established in 2023 to a formal Farmin Joint Venture over the Fontenoy Project under which Earth AI undertook a drilling program that
returned significant Platinum Group Element assays.
•
At the Glenlogan Project, subject to a joint venture with S2 Resources (S2R), initial drilling confirmed
the nature of the main magnetic anomaly. Following a ground geophysical survey which highlighted
an untested anomaly, S2R commenced a second diamond drill hole during the June 2025 Quarter to
test this newly-identified anomaly.
•
The drilling program continued at the Bauloora project funded by the $15M Joint Venture with
Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd.
During the year, Legacy Minerals also negotiated two further joint venture arrangements as follows:
Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2025
Page 4
•
Hilltops Gold (Hilltops) signed an Earn-In Joint Venture Agreement to earn an 80% interest in Legacy
Minerals’ 100%-owned Harden Gold Project by spending $0.8M over four years; and
•
Helix Resources (ASX: HLX) entered into an Earn-In and Farm-In Agreement for the Central Cobar
Project
With respect to the third category, the following activities were undertaken at our other wholly-owned
Projects:
•
At the Black Range Project, rock chip sampling was undertaken across the regional project area
during the September 2024 Quarter which identified potentially prospective targets.
•
At the Rockley Project, rock and soil sampling identified extensive areas of mineralisation.
During the year, Legacy Minerals also added to its portfolio by pegging the Nico Young deposit, one of
Australia’s largest nickel-cobalt deposits. Given its significance, we are actively seeking a partner for the
project from both national and international parties.
The markets for gold, silver and copper, our primary commodities of interest, have remained robust.
Despite significant ownership consolidation in these sectors, the persistent demand for precious metals,
including gold and silver and the widening shortfall in copper supply have continued.
I would like to express our sincere gratitude to our small yet highly skilled exploration and management
team for their outstanding dedication and hard work, which has been instrumental in driving significant
progress for Legacy Minerals over the year.
Finally, we thank our shareholders for their continued loyalty and confidence in us. We are particularly
grateful to those who participated in our entitlement offer and placement completed this year. As always,
we maintain a focus on being good stewards of capital and maximising the value of your investment.
Yours sincerely,
David J Carland
Non-Executive Chairman

Review of Operations and Outlook1
Nature of Operations and Principal Activities
Legacy Minerals is exploring for world-class gold, copper and base metals deposits in the prospective
Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB), the New England Fold Belt (NEFB) and the Thomson Orogen of New South Wales
(NSW). The LFB, also known as the Lachlan Orogen, hosts several world-class copper-gold orebodies
including the Cadia-Ridgeway, Northparkes and Cowal Mines.
The Group has a 9,000km2 land position in NSW, including both 100%-owned projects and Joint Venture
(JV) projects. 100% ownership of projects give shareholders direct upside to discoveries, while the JV
partnerships help to minimise dilution and financing risk.
Legacy Minerals has a straightforward exploration strategy: to define and drill systematically a pipeline of
prospective targets for gold, copper, silver and base metals mineralisation. The work conducted on Legacy
Minerals’ tenements has defined a number of compelling discovery opportunities.
There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company during the financial year.

financial year.
Review of Operations and Outlook
Throughout the 2025 Financial Year, Legacy Minerals continued to undertake exploration programs
targeting porphyry-related, low-sulfidation epithermal, Cobar-type, volcanic-hosted massive sulphide, and
orogenic gold mineralisation styles.
MT CARRINGTON PROJECT
The Mt Carrington Project (previously known as the Drake Project) sits within the highly prospective NEFB.
It is one of several epithermal gold, silver and base metal districts that formed along the Australian east
coast during the Permian age as back-arc extensional volcanic basins. Several significant mines and deposits
occur within the NEFB, including the Cracow gold mine (2.5Moz Au @ 4.97g/t), the Mt Carlton gold mine
(8.5Moz Au), the Mt Rawdon gold mine (2Moz Au) and the Mt Carrington Mine which the Mt Carrington
Project surrounds.
Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
During the reporting period, Legacy Minerals announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for
Mt Carrington. The total Resource now stands at 34Mt containing 1.2Moz AuEqi. Gold and silver are the
dominant contained metals in the Resource (653koz Au, 24.3Moz Ag), with significant zinc content (147kt
Zn) and lesser amounts of copper (20kt Cu) and lead (33kt Pb).
The 1.2Moz AuEq MRE sits across four deposit groups, with all deposits mineralised from surfaceii:
(i)
Mt Carrington (gold-rich deposits) – 14.5Mt at 1.2g/t AuEq for 560koz AuEq (ALA75);
(ii)
Mt Carrington (silver-rich deposits) – 5.1Mt at 106g/t AgEq for 17Moz AgEq (ALA75);
(iii)
Red Rock Group – 8.61Mt at 0.84g/t AuEq for 232koz AuEq (EL9727); and
(iv)
White Rock Group – 6.62Mt at 92g/t AgEq for 18Moz AgEq (EL6723, EL6727).
All estimates were prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) and estimated by external
independent consultants Mining Plus Pty Ltd, a global mining services provider.
The increase in the Resource has primarily been driven by considering base metals within an eventual
economic extraction pit scenario, revised precious metal and commodity prices, more significant geological
input into the modelling of historical drill results and robust domain modelling of mineralisation domains.
Full details of the updated MRE were provided in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 13 March 2025.

Stage 1 Scoping Study
Mining Plus was contracted to review and update the 2020 Pre-Feasibility Study (2020 PFS) for the Mt
Carrington Project following the delivery of the updated 2025 MRE outlined above.
Due to the outstanding results of this review and with the objective of completing a more extensive study,
Legacy Minerals elected to complete a Stage 1 Scoping Study as an alternative to updating the 2020 PFS.
This Study was based only on the Mt Carrington gold-rich deposits using the 2025 MRE.
The results of the Study demonstrated robust economics and provided valuable information to help drive
potential Resource growth through in-fill, expansion and exploration drilling.

2025.
A potential Stage 2 Study is now being considered to assess the total 650koz Au and 24.3Moz Ag defined in
the updated 2025 MRE, which was not evaluated in the Stage 1 Scoping Study. The Stage 1 Scoping Study
has only evaluated the 209.5koz gold Resource from the Mt Carrington Group.
Post year-end, Ausenco Pty Ltd (Ausenco), a global leader in engineering, consulting and project delivery,
was engaged to complete a Metallurgical Bridging Study to inform the potential processing pathways to be
considered for the Stage 2 Scoping Study of the Mt Carrington Projectiv.
Historical Data Review & Assaying of Historical Drill Core
A review of historical exploration data from the Mt Carrington Project has significantly enhanced the
Company’s understanding of the mineral system, showcasing the project’s potential to host a world-class
deposit.
The review confirmed extensive zones of high-grade gold and silver in past drill results, with 14 intercepts
grading 100 AuEq g/t x metre (gxm) validated across the Project areav.
Highlights included:
Red Rockv
•
(228 AuEq gxm) 143m at 1.1g/t Au, 3g/t Ag, and 0.9% Pb+Zn from 0m (RRDD009);
•
(135 AuEq gxm) 88m at 0.9g/t Au, 5g/t Ag, and 1.1% Pb+Zn from 0m (RRDD011); and
•
(150 AuEq gxm) 121.6m at 0.7g/t Au, 3g/t Ag, and 1.1% Pb+Zn from 1m (RRDD004).
White Rockv
•
(230 Au Eq gxm) 37.1m at 0.2g/t Au, 422g/t Ag, 1.5% Pb+Zn from 0m (PWR128);
•
(193 AuEq gxm) 58.5m at 0.2g/t Au, 204g/t Ag, 1.1% Pb+Zn from 25.5m (PWR172); and
•
(196 AuEq gxm) 116.9m at 0.1g/t Au, 59g/t Ag, 1.7% Pb+Zn from 0m (WRDD031).
Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2025
Page 10
Directors’ Report (continued)
There are multiple high-grade zones within these broader drilling intercepts, including drill hole PWR121,
which returned 1.5m at 3,050g/t Ag from 23m, and drill hole RED003, which returned 1m at 79g/t Au from
56mv.
In addition, six previously unsampled historical diamond drill-core holes were assayed, with results
returning broad and high-grade gold intercepts. These drill holes were completed by previous explorer,
Thomson Resources, for a planned Definitive Feasibility Study but were never assayed.
Highlights from these assays includedvi:
•
95m at 0.9g/t Au and 0.35% Zn from 2m (95m at 1.03g/t AuEq from 2m – GT005) including:
o
10m at 6.0g/t Au from 69m;
•
18m at 1.4g/t Au, 10g/t Ag and 3.8% Pb+Zn from surface (18m at 2.7g/t AuEq from 0m – GT001);
•
52m at 0.7g/t Au and 0.9% Pb+Zn from 3m (52m at 1.12g/t AuEq from 3m – GT004) including:
o
•
9m at 3.0g/t Au and 1.1% Pb+Zn from 35m; and
17m at 0.5g/t Au and 0.7% Pb+Zn from surface (17m at 0.74g/t AuEq from 0m – GT002).
The drilling was completed within the Strauss and Kylo deposits, as well as testing adjacent areas. Results
confirm that mineralisation extends beyond the current pit shells that were optimised for gold-silver
resources as part of the Stage 1 Scoping Study outlined above.
Several intervals were unable to be located. The Company is hoping to locate and validate these missing
sample intervals, which offer the potential to extend the mineralisation further.
In addition to the gold-silver potential, the historical data review revealed significant high-grade antimony
mineralisation.
Antimony is classified as a Critical Mineral by the USA and Australia and was recently subject to Chinese
export restrictions, resulting in an increase in the antimony price to a current level of approximately
US$41,000/tvii.
The historical data review revealed extensive high-grade antimony-gold (Sb-Au) from rock chips over the
Lunatic Field within the Mt Carrington Project.
The Lunatic Field is located approximately 190km north of Larvotto Resources’ Hillgrove Mine (LRV: ASX),
one of the top ten largest global antimony resources and Australia’s largest antimony depositviii. The Lunatic
Field hosts several occurrences of ‘Hillgrove style’ antimony-gold mineralisation.
Rock Chip Sampling Program
Legacy Minerals undertook rock chip sampling at the Lunatic Field, with results confirming the location of
mine workings identified in a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) surveyix. All sites showed evidence of
historical mining activity, and sampling of available outcrop, sub-crop and mullock was undertaken where
possible.
The results appear to highlight a dominant western, north-south striking trend to increased stibnite
(antimony sulphide) bearing quartz veins, with high-grade gold also defined in the eastern, north-south
striking vein trends. The extent of the known workings and the high-grade mineralisation highlighted
indicate strong exploration potential for Hillgrove-style antimony-gold mineralisation.
The rock chips highlighted multiple new mineralised workings and vein trends, with significant assay results
includingx:
•
30% Sb and 0.38g/t Au (Sample 9779);
•
25.9% Sb and 0.66g/t Au (Sample 9780);
•
85g/t Au and 9g/t Ag (Sample 11201); and
Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2025

Directors’ Report (continued)
•
17.5g/t Au and 18.7g/t Ag (Sample 9812).
Geophysical Surveys and Data Review
During the reporting period, large-scale airborne LiDAR and Mobile Magneto Telluric (MobileMT) surveys
were completed over the Mt Carrington Project to help identify exploration targetsix.
LiDAR acquired topography provides highly detailed land surface data, clearly revealing underlying geology
and structural details.
Results from the LiDAR survey increased the total number of features associated with interpreted historical
mining activities to 391 mine shafts, 250 adits, 2,224 workings and 502 trenches.
Encouragingly, most sites sit close to, but outside, the historically drilled areas at Red Rock, White Rock and
Mt Carrington, which indicates the potential to extend the known mineralisation. A large number of
regional sites are also recognised and may provide access for additional sampling, structural measurements
and confirmation of historical records.
For the MobileMT survey, electromagnetic and magnetic data were collected along east-west survey lines,
nominally spaced at 200m, and north-south tie lines nominally spaced at 2,000m for a total of 1,642 linekmsxi.
Aimex Geophysics Pty Ltd (Aimex) was engaged to help interpret the new survey data. Aimex has a strong
history of interpreting this type of survey data, including having previously worked intimately with the K92
and Tolu exploration teams to great success in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
In addition, reprocessing of historical geophysics has highlighted a significant opportunity for near-mine
discoveries, with chargeability features extending to depth below known mineralisation and existing
resources. These anomalies remain untested and present compelling target opportunities.
Together, this geophysical data has identified multiple high-priority drill targets that offer compelling
discovery opportunities both near-mine and regionally.

Planned Drilling
Drilling approvals have been received from the NSW Government for Legacy Mineral’s inaugural drilling
program at the Mt Carrington Project, with land access in place for up to nine holes and 4,500m of diamond
drilling at the Battery Prospect – which offers the potential for breccia-hosted and epithermal-porphyry
related gold and copper mineralisationxii.
This forms part of the first phase plans to drill test the Battery, Mascotte, and Emu Prospects over the first
half of FY2026, and staged drilling at the Red Rock, Kylo, Strass and White Rock Prospects pending cultural
heritage clearances.
The planned drilling at the Battery Prospect will represent the first regional target to be tested at Mt
Carrington in 30 years.

FOR LINE 2290 AND NEW AREAS OF INTEREST ( YELLOW MARKER ) WITH INTERPRETATION OF MT FEATURES XII.
Legacy Mineral’s exploration at the Mt Carrington Project has three strategic goals:
(i)
Resource extension assessment: Test the brownfield targets at depth and along strike of high-grade
gold, silver, and copper zones that target substantial Resource growth.
(ii)
Discovery drilling – drilling to explore new greenfield epithermal-porphyry discoveries within the
Drake Caldera.
(iii)
Increase resource confidence by confirming historical drill results within existing Inferred Resources.
Exploration Licence, Licence Application and Assessment Leasexiii
Legacy Minerals has been granted a renewal of the main component of the Mt Carrington Project EL6273
until 2030, covering 176km2. EL9616, covering a further 182km2 of the Drake Volcanics, has also been
granted until 2030 along with EL9727, covering 34.8km2The Company has accepted the formal Notice of
Proposed Decision (NOPD) from the NSW Department of Resources that they propose to grant,
unencumbered, the areas previously held under mining leases at White Rock, Red Rock, Lady Jersey,
Mascotte and Adeline.
As part of this formal notification, the historical Mt Carrington Mining Licences, forming ~4km2 of the
150km2 Drake Caldera, is not part of the proposed grant for an exploration licence.
The Company has lodged an Assessment Lease Application (ALA75) over the Mt Carrington Area. An
Assessment Lease (AL) is a type of prospecting authority over an area containing a well-defined mineral
resource and exists as a ‘bridge’ between exploration and mining, where progression to mining status is
reasonably foreseeable, but further work is required.
A higher security may be required to grant an AL, and the Company has the option to assess this potential
security when the full details of the AL conditions are presented and in light of the potential upside a
development opportunity may present.
This will allow the Company to assess the integration of the Mt Carrington Area into the broader Mt
Carrington Project, while maintaining its primary focus on the exploration potential of the larger system.
