Palladium-Platinum Discovery Continues to Grow at Fontenoy
Drilling adds further widespread mineralisation and multi-kilometre scale potential
Drilling delivers significant Platinum Group Element assays
•
Assay results from the second phase of drilling received have confirmed a large mineral system.
•
Best gold, palladium and platinum (3E PGE) results returned in drill hole EFO10D which returned:
o
360m at 0.12g/t 3PGE from 0m (no cut-off grade), including;
200m at 0.15g/t 3E PGE from 0m (no cut-off grade),
14m at 0.35g/t 3E PGE from 72m,
22m at 0.29g/t 3E PGE from 116m,
28m at 0.16g/t 3E PGE from 142m.
Confirming potential for a large, magmatic-related PGE-Ni-Cu deposit
•
New results are approximately 1km away from previously released results of drill hole EFO9D i
(for referencing, refer Endnotes on page 16):
o
120m at 0.30g/t 3E PGE (no cut-off grade) from 298m, including:
10m at 1.2g/t 3E PGE from 388m.
•
The assays have widened the known PGE-bearing mineral system footprint to approximately 2km2,
increasing the potential for additional exploration upside within the large, mineralised footprint.
•
Magmatic-related PGE-Ni-Cu deposits can be very large and valuable, with recent discovery
examples including the Julimar deposit (Chalice Mining) ii.
Drill rig onsite and drilling underway
•
•
A drill rig is on-site with three drill holes planned for completion before the end of the year.
Drilling aims to extend the size of the known mineral system and test for higher-grade PGE zones
within the basal zone of the ultramafic unit.

Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM, “LGM”, “the Company” or “Legacy Minerals”) is pleased
to report diamond drilling assays received by its exploration alliance partner, Earth AI, at the
Company’s 100%-owned Fontenoy Project, NSW.
Management comment Legacy Minerals CEO & Managing Director, Christopher Byrne said:
“Legacy Minerals is pleased to see the results of the great work completed to date by Earth AI in
unpacking the palladium, platinum, gold and copper potential of the Fontenoy Project.
The latest results build Earth AI’s confidence in the continuity, scale and overall potential of this
mineralised system. The known mineralised footprint is now 2km2 in size and has geochemical and
geophysical indicators that suggest strong potential for this to further grow and potentially host higher
grade zones similar to those identified in the last round of drilling.
Importantly, the drill rig is again on site and drilling with three holes planned for completion before the
end of the year. Combined with the drilling now commenced at Bauloora, for the Company it is an
exciting end to the year with multiple discovery opportunities underway.”
Diamond Drilling
Earth AI completed two diamond-cored holes for a total 1,196 metres earlier this year. The holes were
drilled at the Fontenoy Project to test the interpretation of a mafic intrusive complex with the
potential to host magmatic related PGE and nickel-copper sulphide related mineralisation.
Initial observations of the assay data indicate PGE mineralisation is dominantly occurring within and
immediately underlying a high MgO core zone (>33% MgO) and sulphide development within this
lower zone. This lower zone may reflect a favourable zone for PGE development. This is encouraging
as it is consistent with the general model for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE type mineral systems such as the
Norilsk deposit iii.

Drill hole EFO10D was drilled to target beneath the large 3E PGE in soil anomaly. Drilling intercepted
ultramafic and mafic units having out-of-sequence emplacement with texitic appearance as a result
of intermingling of the mineral phases and/or variations in mineral compositions and grain size,
indicative of a complex magmatic process. Ultramafic units are variably altered to serpentinite, and
PGE mineralisation is mostly confined to the fine-grained dunite cumulate units.

Significant drilling intercepts included:
•
360m at 0.12g/t 3E PGE from the surface (no cut-off grade), including;
o
44m at 0.15g/t 3E PGE from surface,
o
14m at 0.35g/t 3E PGE from 72m,
o
22m at 0.29g/t 3E PGE from 116m,
o
28m at 0.16g/t 3E PGE from 142m.
Drill hole EFO9D was drilled to target beneath elevated 3E PGE soil anomalism on the interpreted
contact of the Moonbilleen Gabbro and undifferentiated serpentinites. Drilling again intercepted an
ultramafic–mafic magmatic complex showing distinct zonation with PGE mineralisation generally
occurring within and at the base of the ultramafic units.
Significant drilling intercepts included:
•
100m at 0.13g/t 3E PGE from 64m (no cut-off grade), including;
o
20m at 0.27 3E PGE from 128m.
While NSW is known to host major laterite deposits, hosting nickel-cobalt and scandium, magmaticrelated nickel-copper-PGE sulphide systems are a newly recognised system. This style of deposit is
rare and greatly prized for potentially higher grades, a potential suite of valuable metals and lower
extraction costs.
The Fontenoy Project has been drilled historically with companies targeting the potential for shallow
nickel-laterite deposits. Historical explorers had not tested the potential for PGE’s or magmaticrelated nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.
Earth AI implemented its artificial intelligence deposit targeting system at Fontenoy, successfully
generating a range of drill targets across the tenement. Through ground-truthing, the potential for
magmatic-related nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation was identified.
Earth AI’s subsequent drilling was focused on testing this hypothesis at the Project. The identification
and confirmation of this style of mineralisation in drilling, including wide zones of disseminated PGEnickel-copper mineralisation, is the first in the district and it is believed that this represents the
discovery of a new style of mineralisation in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW.

About Fontenoy
The Fontenoy Project contains a number of prospective units within the Project area which include
the Yandilla Volcanics, Warrenoy Diorite and ultramafic rocks of the Wambidgee Serpentinite for
copper-nickel and cobalt. Stratabound manganese mineralisation occurs in the Cambro-Ordovician
Jindalee Group, while the Wambidgee Serpentinite contains a number of chromite deposits, and this
differentiated ultramafic sequence is prospective for both chromite and PGE mineralisation.
Disseminated and veined copper-gold mineralisation hosted within the Yandilla Volcanics has a strike
length of approximately 8km.
Recent diamond drilling has returned magmatic-related PGEs:
EFO7D:
120m at 0.3g/t 3E PGE from 298m including:
10m at 1.2g/t 3E PGE, 0.2% Ni and 891ppm Cu from 388m.
Historical drilling has confirmed that Au-Cu soil anomalism is associated with broad gold-copper
mineralisation intersected along the entire 8km strike and provides encouragement for several drillready target zones.

Nickel and PGE’s in New South Wales
There are numerous nickel occurrences located in three main NSW ultramafic belts vii. These
occurrences are predominantly in the form of residual nickel-cobalt laterites, less commonly
hydrothermally-enriched nickel sulphide deposits, and rare magmatic nickel sulphide deposits in
layered mafic and ultramafic bodies.

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Diamond drilling was used to obtain HQ
(diameter: 63.5) and NQ sized (diameter:
47.5mm) drill core for geochemical
sampling. Interval spacing was 2 m with rare
variance to adhere to geological contacts
and alteration.
Diamond drill core provided a high-quality
sample that was logged for lithological
attributes.
0.6m - 2m sample intervals were collected
from the core trays.
DD core samples have been half cut with an
automatic core saw.

‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce
a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Logging
Sub‐sampling
techniques and
sample
Diamond drill techniques were used to
obtain HQ sized core (diameter: 63.5mm) on
average for the initial 100 m and NQ sized
core (diameter: 47.5mm) for the remainder
of the hole.
Drill recovery was conducted by measuring
core lengths and comparing rod string
lengths during drilling. Core blocks were
used to mark measured rod intervals. Meter
marks were measured against core blocks
and sampling intervals were taken according
to the meter marks.
Various diamond drilling additives (including
muds and foams) have been used to
condition the drill holes to maximise
recoveries and sample quality. Drill core
samples were cleaned at the drill site to
remove drilling fluids and cuttings to
present clean core for logging and sampling.
There was no significant loss of material
reported in the mineralised parts of the
diamond core that was considered to bias
samples.
All drill holes undertaken have been logged
in full, from a visual basis, recording
lithology, texture, alteration and
mineralisation.
Systematic geological logging was
undertaken. Data collection where
appropriate included:
• Nature and extent of lithologies.
• Relationship between lithologies.
• Texture, alteration and mineralisation
• Amount and mode of occurrence of
minerals.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging was both qualitative and
quantitative capturing downhole depth,
lithology and features of the sample.
The total length and percentage of the relevant

retained/stored in core trays.
A sample size of 0.6m to 2m intervals,
weighing between 3 and 5 kg were
collected.
If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
This size was considered appropriate, and
representative of the material being
sampled given the width and continuity of
the intersections.
Not applicable as results were from core
drilling.
Drill core was cut in half along the length
and the total half core submitted as the
sample. This procedure meets industry
standards where 50% of the total sample
taken from the diamond core is submitted.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Samples were dried, crushed and pulverized
to produce a homogenous representative
sub-sample for analysis.
Samples undergo a dry crush of 90% passing
2mm with additional pulverising to a grind
quality of 85% passing 75μm (ALS code PUL21 and PUL-22).
Sample preparation was of industry
standard.
Core sample intervals were based on a
nominal, 0.6m to 2m spacing.
Quality control procedures adopted for all
subsampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second‐half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.
All samples were dried and pulverised
before analysis. Pulverisers were washed
and fineness checks were routine, to ensure
grind size as per the QAQC undertaken by
the external laboratory.
To ensure adequate preparation at the
pulverisation stage samples were split to
weigh less than 3kg.
The remaining half-core was stored and
allowed assay values to be viewed against
the geology; and, where required, further
samples may be submitted for quality
assurance. Quarter core resampling may be
completed in zones where appropriate.
The sample size was considered appropriate
for the mineralisation style and analytical
techniques used.
Samples undergo a spectral scan using the
TerraSpec® 4 HR spectrometer.
Samples were analysed for a Multi-Element
Suite (48 element) Analysis by ICP-MS (MEICP61) following a four-acid digest.
The Pt, Pd, Au analysis was carried out via
standard lead fire assay with ICP-AES finish.

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down‐hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied. Whether sample
compositing has been applied.
Certified Reference Materials/standards,
blanks and duplicates were inserted to
assess the assaying accuracy of the external
laboratory for QAQC protocol.
Techniques used for the early-stage nature
of the Project were considered total.
No geophysical tools were used to
determine any reported element
concentrations.
No pXRF results are reported for drill hole
samples.
Laboratory internal procedures were to
ensure grind size of 85% passing -75μm was
being attained.
Laboratory QAQC for assay analysis involved
the use of internal lab standards using
standards, blanks, and duplicates.
All samples were analysed by an
independent laboratory and verified by
Earth AI staff and reviewed by Legacy
Minerals personnel.
No twinned holes have been completed in
this drill program.
Primary results certified by ALS
Geochemistry were saved within a Company
database. Raw data files were saved
separately. Reviews of the data which
encompasses geological logs, sample details,
QA/QC insights and general geological
interpretation of data was saved locally and
uploaded to a database.
No adjustments to assay data were
undertaken.
Drill hole collars were located using an
iPhone dual frequency GPS with an accuracy
of +/- 5m.
No down hole surveys were undertaken.
Downhole depths were in meters from
surface.
The grid system used was GDA94, zone 55
Elevation was recorded using an iPhone dual
frequency GPS with an accuracy of +/- 10m.
The spacing and distribution of holes was
not relevant to the drilling programs which
are at the exploration stage rather than
definition drilling. Drill holes were
preferentially located at those areas
considered most prospective.
Data spacing and distribution was
appropriate for this stage of exploration. No
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied to exploration data being reported.
Core was cut in ½ sections using a core saw
and sampled in 0.6m-2m intervals.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.

No sample compositing was applied to
diamond drill core.
Drillholes were oriented between 60 - 75o
from horizontal and 98 - 258 true north
azimuth.
No orientation tool was used during drilling
and, as such, structural orientation was not
completely possible.
The orientation of key structures may be
locally variable and any relationship to
mineralisation has yet to be identified.
If orientation of drilling relative to key
mineralised structures or lithology has
introduced sampling bias is unknown.
Orientation of the mineralisation and
structural trends was interpreted by
previous drilling and outcrop.
