Management Comment
Legacy Minerals Managing Director, Christopher Byrne said:
“Legacy Minerals is pleased to start this year’s program of drilling in what is shaping up to be a very exciting
year for the Company.
We see excellent potential for growth at the Harden Gold Mine Prospect and our known mineralised drill
target areas at Bauloora Mine Prospect. These will be the initial focus of our diamond drilling and RC drilling
programs this quarter.
However, the potential for transformational new discoveries across our under explored package is possibly
the most exciting part of the program. Preliminary work on the Rockley, Cobar and Bauloora high priority
target areas is underway. Importantly, each of these target areas is significantly underexplored and amenable
to the low-cost exploration techniques aimed at defining high quality drill targets.
The Company is focused on adding value to our assets by building on the encouraging results from the
previous year. We are confident the exploration program for 2022 will provide strong on-going news flow
throughout the year and look forward to keeping you regularly updated on our activities.”
We would like to thank all existing shareholders for your continuing support.”

Quarters 1 and Quarters 2
Quarters 3 and Quarters 4
Along with further geochemical and geophysical programs, the Company has plans to drill a further two
projects in Q3 and Q4. The results of the Q1 and Q2 drill campaigns across these projects will determine the
next steps for the Company.

Bauloora Project
RC Drilling
The Company is currently completing a GAIP survey area that covers a total distance of ~90 line-kms over ~4
km2, which is expected to be completed in February. In the centre and south-east of the survey area are
previously completed shallow diamond holes drilled in 1970 and RC percussion holes completed in 2013.
They total 7 holes for 706.1 metres. The holes returned multiple assay intercepts >0.5g/t Au, and encouraging
trace-element geochemistry and vein textures, indicative of low sulphidation epithermal style gold-silver
mineralisation (Figure 2, Figure 3).

Figure 3: 1-0-5D – Yellow sphalerite and galena in quartz-carbonate vein within dacite
The Company believes it is likely that the Bauloora Project hosts multiple deposits across the exploration
licence with our 2022 exploration strategy at Bauloora aiming to build the size of the known Au-Ag
mineralisation and to make further discoveries with a view to delivering a Mineral Resource. The GAIP survey,
to be completed over an area with coincident gold and anomalous pathfinder elements, is a proven successful
target generation tool for low sulphidation epithermal deposits in other districts and the results of the survey
are highly anticipated. The survey is expected to be complete by the end of this month with follow up soil
‘and rock chip sampling in preparation for drilling for discovery later in the year.

Mee Mar GAIP Program
The GAIP survey is now more than 40% complete and is expected to be concluded by the end of February.
The GAIP survey extends between the northern end of known mineralisation at the Bauloora Mine up to the
northern end of the Mee Mar Prospect and eastwards to the Bauloora East prospect (Figure 4). The Mee
Mar prospect vein system that has been mapped for over 2km with rock samples grading up to 39.1g/t
Au and 267g/t Ag.

Harden Project
Harden Gold Mine Prospect Diamond Drilling
Legacy Minerals is pleased to advise that diamond drilling has resumed at the Harden Gold Mine prospect.
An extended delay occurred during the recommencement of drilling in January due to drill rig engine failure.
A second diamond rig was mobilised and is currently drilling onsite while repairs are completed on the first
rig.
The current drill program was reviewed during the delay with Legacy Minerals now progressing to a 7-hole
diamond drill program. This is to further test the down plunge potential at the Harden Gold Mine Prospect.
Three and a half holes have been completed with three and a half holes remaining. The drill holes are
targeting the down plunge extent of the historical workings and significant gold grades intercepted last year.
Drilling is expected to be completed by late-February with assays to be reported end of March.
McMahons Reef Drill Targets
There are several small Crown Land lots around McMahons Reef that were created to service the historical
mining town. Some of these small lots provided optimal drill pad locations to test certain targets along the
McMahons Reef workings. In order to secure access to these lots, Ministerial Consent has recently been
obtained after completing the ‘Right to Negotiate’ process. Although the majority of the Harden License is
freehold land, the process was conducted across the entire Harden Exploration Licence.

Fontenoy
RC Drill Campaign
The 2022 drilling will initially focus on targets identified through interpretation of historical exploration
results. The exploration program is designed to grow the known extent of Au and Cu mineralisation in three
key areas at Fontenoy, both along strike and at depth. Drill targets include possible extensions at depth and
laterally around Nubba and Wallendbeen and step-out drilling at Fontenoy North. Focusing on these areas
has the potential to deliver Mineral Resources that can be defined through lower cost air-core (AC) and RC
drilling.
While initial AC and RC drilling commences, the second phase of the soil geochemistry will ramp-up, targeting
high priority areas based on work interpreting historic soil sampling, electromatic (EM), induced polarisation
(IP) and magnetics. This work will refine the targeting for future drilling that will build upon the knowledge
gained in the initial drill campaign.

Rockley Project
Rock Chip Sampling and Detailed Aerial Magnetics
Reconnaissance rock chip sampling and geological mapping was completed across the northern portion of
the Rockley tenement. Newly identified and untested copper mineralisation has been observed in rock chip
sampling. This sampling is nearby a regionally anomalous radiometric potassium high. Assays are expected
to be reported by the end of February.
A helicopter magnetic and radiometric survey flown at 100m line spacing has now been planned for
completion in March across both northern and southern areas of the tenement. This work will increase the
geological knowledge and interpretations on the tenement and aid in planning Rockley’s future exploration
campaigns.

Cobar Project
Soil Sampling and Detailed Ground Magnetics
Soil sampling is currently being completed across the Kidman Prospect which covers the eastern higher strain
target area of the Central Cobar EL. This area is east of the large Cobar Basin forming Myrt Fault where
previous geological mapping by the Company has identified areas of strike extensive quartz veining. The
identified quartz veining is interpreted as along strike of the Langtons Prospect held by Aurelia (ASX: AMI)
that has a better historic intercept of 2m at 12g/t Au from 20m.
Soil sampling is then planned to continue over priority AEM targets. Ground magnetics is planned to be
completed over the Woggle Prospect later this month before 3D modelling in preparation for drill testing.
