Cautionary Statement
The May 2026 Mt Carrington Scoping Study has been prepared to ascertain whether a business case can be
made before proceeding with more definitive studies of Mt Carrington’s development viability. The Scoping
Study is a preliminary technical and economic assessment of the potential viability of mineral extraction at Mt
Carrington.
The Scoping Study is based on low-level technical and economic assessments that are not yet sufficient to
support the estimation of Ore Reserves. Further exploration and evaluation work, and appropriate studies, are
required before any estimate of Ore Reserves can be made, or before any assurance of an economic
development case. The Scoping Study is based on the material assumptions outlined in this announcement.
These include assumptions about the availability of funding. While the Company considers all of the material
assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that
the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved.
The Company has reasonable grounds to disclose a Production Target, given that project viability is determined
based on 100% of Indicated Resources, which deliver payback within 42 months from first production at the
Base Case. Within the first 11 years of production, approximately 71% of the Production Target is in the
Indicated Mineral Resource category, and 29% is in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. For the Life of
Mine, approximately 46% of the Life of Mine Production Target is in the Indicated Mineral Resource category,
and 54% is in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. Legacy Minerals considers that Mt Carrington’s financial
viability does not depend on the inclusion of Inferred Resources, and therefore, a reasonable basis exists for
disclosing a production target including Inferred Resources. There is a lower level of geological confidence
associated with Inferred Mineral Resources, and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result
in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources, or that the Production Target itself will be realised.
Investors are cautioned that the Scoping Study is at a scoping-level of confidence (-30% to +45% accuracy).
Further study work is required to develop all project-modifying factors, including but not limited to mining
dilution, ore loss, metallurgical recoveries, geotechnical parameters, hydrology and dewatering, closure, cost
estimates, and environmental and social impacts. The Scoping Study is based on the material assumptions
outlined in this announcement, including assumptions about the availability of funding. While Legacy Minerals
considers all material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove
to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Scoping Study will be achieved.
To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, funding in the order of approximately
A$220.5M (maximum expected cash drawdown, including working capital and contingency) will likely be
required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that Legacy Minerals will be able to raise that amount
of funding when needed. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be
dilutive to, or otherwise affect, the value of Legacy Minerals’ existing shares.
It is also possible that Legacy Minerals could pursue other ‘value-realisation’ strategies such as a sale, partial
sale or joint venture of Mt Carrington or its other projects. If it does so, this could materially reduce Legacy
Minerals’ proportionate ownership of, or share of net operating cash inflow from, the relevant project(s).
Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make any investment decisions based solely on the results
of the Scoping Study. This announcement has been prepared in compliance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition
and the ASX Listing Rules. All material assumptions on which the forecast financial information is based have
been included in this announcement.

infrastructure and tailings storage facility - greatly de-risking potential development timelines.
• Proven low-risk mining method: conventional, shallow open-pit mining at existing pits.
• Simple processing flowsheet: conventional, cyanide-free flotation flowsheet producing a single
saleable Au-Ag concentrate, with offtake optionality.
NEXT STEPS AND SIGNIFICANT PROJECT GROWTH POTENTIAL
• Increase Project scale with near mine Mineral Resource growth: the size of the Mt Carrington
ore bodies provides the opportunity to increase the scale of the operation significantly above 1
Mtpa to accelerate cash flow and benefit from scale economies.
• Silver and base metal opportunity: With 17Mt of the 34Mt Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)iii
processed in this study, significant silver resources, including White Rock North (5.4 Moz AgEq0F0F

Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM, “LGM”, “the Company” or “Legacy Minerals”) is
pleased to announce the results of the Scoping Study for its Mt Carrington Project in NSW (EL6273,
EL9616, EL9727, ALA75).
Management Comment Legacy Minerals CEO & Managing Director, Christopher Byrne said:
“The Ausenco-led Mt Carrington Scoping Study marks a pivotal milestone for Legacy Minerals. This is
the first long-life, development-ready mine plan for Mt Carrington. Pre-tax NPV₇ of A$716 million and
32-month payback from first production under the Spot Case are very strong outcomes. The Project is
underpinned by a shallow open-pit operation, a conventional, low-cost flotation flowsheet, and a
brownfield site, critical infrastructure already in place and a first-quartile AISC of A$1,061.
Importantly, the Scoping Study demonstrates that Mt Carrington is financially robust across a range
of metal price assumptions. Even at the more conservative Base Case pricing, the Project generates a
pre-tax NPV₇ of A$542 million and an IRR of 32%, supporting the view that Mt Carrington can deliver
value through market cycles.
At Mt Carrington, we see multiple opportunities to significantly improve the value proposition
demonstrated through this initial Scoping Study. These opportunities include near-mine resource
extensions, updated metallurgical recoveries, increased plant throughput, and the potential addition
of zinc and copper as saleable products within the Project’s broader mineralised system. Together with
near-mine exploration at the Emu, Battery and Mascotte Prospects, these factors support our view
that Mt Carrington can be a key driver of future value for Legacy Minerals shareholders.
Ausenco is a globally recognised engineering and consulting firm with a strong track record of
delivering precious metals projects, particularly in Australia. Its experience from concept through to
execution provides confidence in the robustness of the Scoping Study outcomes and the pathway to
development. The Company will now advance Mt Carrington towards the Pre-Feasibility Study stage,
with a targeted drilling program to convert Inferred Resources to Indicated in key early-mine areas and
supporting metallurgical and geotechnical work.”

Executive Summary
The Scoping Study presents outcomes on a pre-tax, ungeared basis (no financing) at the Spot and Base
Cases in Table 1. Headline outcomes highlight a high-margin development case with strong leverage
to gold and silver prices:
• Pre-tax free cash inflow of A$1,597M over the 19-year mine life (Spot case); A$1,247M under
the Base Case.
• Pre-tax NPV₇ of A$716M (Spot Case); A$542M (Base case).
• Pre-tax IRR of 38% (Spot Case); 32% (Base Case).
• Payback of 32 months from first production (Spot Case); 36 months (Base Case).
• Net operating cash inflow margin of approximately 59% (Spot Case) and 54% (Base).
• LOM AISC of A$1,061/oz Au (Spot Case, by-product silver credit), reflecting competitive
operating costs for a hybrid Au-Ag producer.
• Silver price leverage: each additional +US$1/oz in the silver price implies A$13M of additional
life-of-project pre-tax cash inflow and A$6M increase in NPV₇.
• Gold price leverage: each additional +US$100/oz in the gold price implies A$50M of additional
life-of-project pre-tax cash inflow and A$26M increase in NPV₇.
• Low development funding requirement relative to Project value, with a peak funding
requirement of approximately A$220.5M – supporting a financeable profile.

Mining
The mining component of the Scoping Study has been delivered by Mining Plus Pty Ltd. Mt Carrington
comprises eight shallow, adjacent pits within a single mining area – Strauss, Kylo, Lady Hampden, Guy
Bell, Carrington, Silver King, White Rock and Red Rock – allowing pit stages to be sequenced to
preserve feed grade profile and concentrate specification.

Pit optimisation was completed in Whittle software using the Lerchs-Grossman algorithm. Pit designs
were completed to a combined cut-off grade of 0.57g/t AuEq and 50g/t AgEq, resulting in 17.04Mt of
plant feed at 0.87g/t Au and 21.45g/t Ag, with a total waste movement of 52.1 Mt (strip ratio 3.06:1
on plant feed basis, using the Mining Plus 19-year schedule).
Mining is planned as a conventional drill, blast, load and haul open-pit operation, utilising Cat 777D-
class haul trucks with matched excavators. Two-lane haul roads are used for the majority of the pit,
with single-lane access in the base of each pit. Preliminary geotechnical pit slope parameters (based
on typical Western Australian goldfield analogues pending project-specific work) are: oxide 35°
overall; transitional 39° overall; fresh rock 45° overall.
A 12-month pre-strip is planned in to expose sufficient feed for sustained production from early in
mine plan with mining tonnages peak at approximately 6 Mtpa in Year 3 before tapering to
approximately 3–4 Mtpa through the steady-state period. The mine plan is expected to be executed
under a contract mining model, consistent with the typical, small-to-mid-scale Australian precious
metals projects, removing the need for upfront mobile equipment capital and allowing access to
established operators and systems.
Approximately 46% of the LOM Production Target is Indicated, and 54% is Inferred; during the first 11
years of the Production Target (approximately 10.08 Mt), the Indicated proportion rises to 71%.

Processing
The Scoping Study adopts a cyanide-free, flotation flowsheet – a significant step change from the
carbon-in-leach circuits utilised in historical studies and operations at Mt Carrington. The 1 Mtpa
concentrator processing plant comprises conventional, low-risk unit operations: primary crushing,
SAG/ball mill grinding, a rougher-scavenger flotation circuit with concentrate regrind, cleaner-
scavenger flotation, concentrate thickening and filtration, and a conventional tailings handling circuit.
The flotation approach produces a bulk gold-silver sulphide concentrate suitable for offtake by a third-
party refinery. Concentrate is exported by road in a bagged form. Staged campaigning of gold-
dominant and silver-dominant ore streams through the circuit, with blending of the resulting
concentrate parcels, delivers a final product meeting the target concentrate specifications (Au:S ≥
0.45:1; Ag:S ≥ 11.5:1) to optimise concentrate payability.
LOM weighted-average metallurgical performance: Au recovery 78%, Ag recovery 84%, sulphur
recovery approximately 80–90%. Recoveries vary by deposit based on available metallurgical test
work, with the strongest response from Strauss (Au 85%, Ag 82%) and Lady Hampden / Silver King /
Red Rock for silver-dominant recovery (Ag 88%). The selected flotation flowsheet is simple, well-
understood and offers considerable operating flexibility, with conventional regulatory expectations
around tailings management.
The tailings solution utilises the existing on-site ATC Williams-designed tailings storage facility,
extended in capacity to accommodate the LOM tails production of approximately 16.6 Mt. A nominal
wall lift to 526 m RL provides approximately 14.4 Mt of capacity (87% of LOM requirement), with
further staged lifts supported by sustaining capital. The tailings beach and decant pond configuration,
1 m freeboard and 1:2 batters inside and outside the embankment, are consistent with the established
2017 ATC Williams TSF design.

Capital Cost
The processing plant and site infrastructure capital cost estimate has been prepared by Ausenco at a
scoping level of accuracy (-30% to +45%) and is based on the Option A grid-connection design with the
powerline as an off-site development component. The financial model adopts an initial capital cost of
A$220.5M, reflecting a first-pass estimate appropriate for scoping-level analysis. The detailed capital
cost estimate will be refined in subsequent study phases.

Infrastructure & Site Layout
The Mt Carrington site benefits from extensive existing infrastructure from the previous operations
(gold-silver mining and carbon-in-leach processing, late 1980s to mid-1990s), including:
• Sealed access road from the Drake – Bruxner Highway route;
• Cleared and stabilised plant footprint and ROM pad area;
• Existing tailings storage facility and water dams (Humphries Dam, plus the existing TSF);
• Historic haul roads, previously used for truck haulage between the pits and the former
processing plant;
• Site office accommodation and existing plant infrastructure pads; and
• Rehabilitated pits (North Kylo, Strauss, Lady Hampden, Guy Bell and Carrington).
The Scoping Study adopts a grid-connection design, with a 32 kV overhead powerline connecting the
site to the state grid. The water supply is sourced from existing on-site dams, supplemented by
captured rainfall and, for dust suppression, a potential supplementary supply from Humphries Dam
located on-site. On-site non-process infrastructure comprises the mine workshop, plant
administration building, fuel storage (on-site lease basis), reagent storage, and associated utilities. No
allowance has been made for camp accommodation as the Project is planned as drive-in/drive-out
from the nearby towns and regional centres.
Mineral Resource Estimate, and mine plan basis
The Mt Carrington global JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) totals 34.4Mt at 104.7g/t AgEq,
containing approximately 115.8 Moz AgEq (comprising 653koz gold, 24.3Moz silver, 20 kt copper, 33
kt lead and 146 kt zinc)i
. The Scoping Study Production Target is based only on the gold and silver
content of the MRE – no credits for copper, lead or zinc have been assumed, due to the flotation
flowsheet design and offtake assumptions adopted in this Study. The full MRE is reproduced in
Appendix A on page 21.
i. Mt Carrington (gold-rich deposits) - 14.5Mt at 1.2g/t AuEq for 560koz AuEq (ALA75)iii,
ii. Mt Carrington (silver-rich deposits) - 5.1Mt at 106g/t AgEq for 17Moz AgEq (ALA75)iii,
iii. Red Rock Group - 8.61Mt at 0.84g/t AuEq for 232koz AuEq (EL9727)iii, and
iv. White Rock Group - 6.62Mt at 92g/t AgEq for 18Moz AgEq (EL6723, EL6727)iii.
A targeted drilling program is planned prior to the Pre-Feasibility Study, aimed at converting Inferred
Resources to Indicated in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 pit footprints for each deposit. This program is
designed to increase data density in the early mining areas, strengthen grade confidence, and support
improved project finance terms.

Key Opportunities, Risks and Next Steps
Opportunities
• Conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated through targeted drilling in Stage 1 and Stage 2
pits, which could materially increase the portion of the Production Target supported by
Indicated Resources.
• Increase the capacity of the processing plant.
• Comminution test work for optimisation of the crushing and milling processes.
• Grade-control drilling during pre-production to clarify ore/waste boundaries, improving mining
selectivity and reducing ore loss/dilution.

• Optimisation of concentrate blend scheduling to maximise payability across the pay-grade
profile.
• Inclusion of White Rock North (2 Mt at 83 g/t AgEq) in a future production target following further
studies.
• Metallurgical recovery test work to refine flowsheet and identify potential recovery uplift.
• Evaluation of copper/zinc/lead circuits to produce saleable base-metal concentrates, monetising
the broader MRE.
• Mill throughput expansion beyond 1 Mtpa.
• Toll-treatment or merger opportunities for nearby third-party gold-silver resources.
Risks
• Orebody variability in multi-pit campaigning may create scheduling complexity in delivering
consistent concentrate specifications to the offtaker.
• Hydrology / dewatering requirements have not been assessed in the Scoping Study and may
add to site operating cost and infrastructure capital.
• Closure planning at the scoping level is limited to final waste-dump batter design; further
detailed closure planning is required.
• The Scoping Study has not allowed for potentially acid forming (PAF) waste storage in the waste
landform design. Geochemical characterisation will be required in subsequent studies.
• Commodity price risk, FX exposure, and general Project execution risk associated with any
development-stage Project.
• Funding risk: the maximum cash drawdown of approximately A$220.5M will need to be
arranged via debt, equity, or alternative financing strategies, on terms yet to be negotiated.
Next Steps
Following delivery of the Scoping Study, Legacy Minerals will now advance Mt Carrington towards a
Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). Key workstreams include:
• Targeted resource conversion drilling over Stage 1 and Stage 2 pit footprints to upgrade Inferred
to Indicated Resources.
• Further metallurgical test work across all principal ore types, including variability sampling and
optimisation of flotation recovery.
