Chairman’s Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
I am pleased to present Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited’s (ASX: LGM, Legacy Minerals or the Company)
fourth Annual Report to our shareholders following our successful initial public offering and listing on the
Australian Securities Exchange in 2021.
This letter provides an overview of the significant progress achieved across our diverse portfolio in New
South Wales within the prolific mining and exploration districts of the Lachlan and New England Fold Belts.
Legacy Minerals has diligently executed an extensive exploration program across our nine projects, with a
strong focus on drilling and targeting generation aimed at the large-scale epithermal systems at Drake,
Black Range, and Bauloora, targeting high-grade gold, silver, and copper mineralization.
Through our exploration efforts at Black Range, the finalization of the Drake Project acquisition, and the
exploration of Bauloora in collaboration with our partners, Newmont, we have increasingly recognised the
substantial potential of these projects to host large-scale and high-grade epithermal gold and silver
mineralisation.
Our other high-quality projects in the Lachlan Fold Belt, including the Cobar, Rockley, and Fontenoy
Projects, have seen significant progress. Fontenoy, being explored under an Exploration Alliance Agreement
with partner EarthAI, witnessed sustained drilling and exploration efforts, leading to the maiden discovery
of magmatic platinum-palladium and nickel.
During the financial year, we identified and acquired two significant projects aligned with our strategic
discovery approach. These were the Glenlogan Project, subject to a joint venture with S2 Resources, and
the Thomson Project, which complements our existing focus projects in our portfolio and offers additional
discovery exposure for shareholders.
Post the financial year, Legacy Minerals’ secured another earn-in partner, Helix Resources, on our Central
Cobar Project. This discovery-focused joint venture will see commitments to drill targets at Cobar project,
bringing the total earn-in and joint venture figure to $28.5 million across four projects.
The markets for gold 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

Nature of Operations and Principal Activities
Legacy Minerals is involved in the acquisition and exploration of gold and copper projects in the prospective
Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) and New England Fold Belt (NEFB) of New South Wales (NSW). The Group wholly owns
2,690km2 of granted and pending exploration licence applications spanning eight projects. The LFB, also
known as the Lachlan Orogen, hosts world-class copper-gold orebodies including the Cadia-Ridgeway,
Northparkes and Cowal Mines.
Legacy Minerals has a straightforward exploration strategy: to systematically define and drill a pipeline of
prospective targets for gold and copper mineralisation. The work conducted on Legacy Minerals’ tenements
has defined a number of compelling drill ready prospects.
Legacy Minerals’ projects contain numerous untested geochemical, geophysical and geological targets. These
afford the Company multiple opportunities for gold and copper discoveries; commodities which the Company
considers having long term favourable fundamentals. Highlights of the projects include:
•
•
•
drill-ready targets that provide immediate opportunities for gold and copper discoveries;
projects with a prime position in the LFB targeting porphyry-related Cu-Au, Cobar-type, and low
sulphidation epithermal-style systems; and
high grade and shallow exploration targets in underexplored or overlooked projects that present an
opportunity for aggressive resource definition.
There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company during the financial year.

Dividends
There were no dividends paid or declared by the Company to members during or since the end of the financial
year.
Review of Operations and Outlook 1
Legacy Minerals (ASX: LGM) is targeting porphyry related, low-sulfidation epithermal, Cobar-type, volcanichosted massive sulphide (VHMS), and orogenic gold mineralisation styles. The portfolio of projects provide
the Company with significant exposure in the Lachlan Fold Belt, a mineral province that hosts several worldclass, tier-one ore bodies, and the New England Fold Belt, which hosts several major gold, silver and base
metal deposits. i The Company is exploring four of these projects, Bauloora, Cobar, Glenlogan, and
Fontenoy, under earn-in and alliance agreements with Newmont Corporation, Helix Resources, S2
Resources, and Earth AI.
THOMSON PROJECT
During the Quarter, Legacy Minerals secured a new belt-scale exploration opportunity for large-scale
mineral deposits through the acquisition of the Thomson Project in NSW (EL9190, EL9194, and ELA6777)ii.
Details of the Acquisition
Legacy Minerals wholly-owned subsidiary, Starlight Exploration Pty Ltd (Starlight), entered into a binding
agreement to acquire exploration Licences EL9190 and EL9194 for A$200k in cash from Eastern Metals
Limited (EMS). A$50k was paid within 7 days of an executed HOA and the remaining $150k is to be paid
upon transfer of the tenements. Starlight will grant a 1.5% royalty to EMS and have the option to buy back
0.75% of the royalty for A$2M and the remaining $0.75% for A$4M at any stage ii.

Project Overview
Located west of Bourke, the Thomson Project covers 5,500km2 of tenure under granted and pending
exploration licenses, securing a belt-scale exploration opportunity for Legacy Minerals shareholders. Legacy
Mineral’s is now exploring across eight projects in NSW, with three under farm-in and joint venture
agreements and an alliance agreement, covering more 8,000km2 of tenure.
The Thomson Project is located near the southern margin of the Thomson Orogen nearby the interpreted
contact with the Lachlan Fold Belt and the Delamerian Orogen. The Thomson Orogen covers a large area of
Queensland and north-western New South Wales, mostly under cover of the Mesozoic Eromanga Basin.
The dominant basement rocks are interpreted to consist of Cambrian to Ordovician volcanics,
metamorphosed turbidite, siltstone, and slate that are intruded by Silurian to Devonian felsic and mafic
igneous rocks.
Current knowledge of the basement geology of the southern Thomson Orogen is minimal however the
following datasets provide critical insights into the geology and prospectivity of the area:
•
•
•
Several deep stratigraphic drillholes completed by the NSW Geological Survey (such as Tongo1,
Laurelvale 1).
Historic drillholes completed by previous exploration companies.
The incorporation and interpretation of regional geophysical data (aeromagnetic, gravity and
seismic) conducted by the NSW Geological Survey (GSNSW) with geology logged in drill holes.
The Thomson Project is covered by younger sediments that ranges up 280m thick. These sediments are part
of the Eromanga and the Surat Basin cover sequences. This cover has historically in part deterred
exploration and has limited the realisation of the Thomson Orogen’s mineral potential. Significantly,
historical work indicated that this cover sequence is geophysically transparent with a number of the critical
geophysical targeting methods such as magnetics and gravity providing highly useful and necessary data
sets.
The GSNSW have suggested that the basement rocks within the Thomson Orogen have the potential to
hold similar mineral potential to the adjoining belts, including the base metal and gold endowment of the
Lachlan Orogen to the south which is over 80Moz gold and 13Mt copper. iii A series of major belt-scale faults
are observable that may act as significant fluid flow conduits during both early extensions and later
deformation of the belt.
Exploration Rationale
Legacy Minerals is searching for high-grade copper-gold intrusion-related deposits in what is considered to
be one of the most under explored orogenic belts in Australia. These deposits can often have a magnetic
signature that reflects either magnetic minerals associated with the alteration or ore bearing fluids. The
opportunity offers Legacy Minerals a huge discovery upside, that if successful, positions the Company as
the significant tenement holder in a new mineral province with-in a top tier, stable jurisdiction.
The Company has been drawn to the Thomson due to its lack of exploration and early encouragement from
previous explorers who have confirmed mineralisation in association with these magnetic high anomalies.
These undercover targets are defined by discrete, “bullseye” magnetic and gravity anomalies, are similar to
other Tier-1 deposits characteristics. Limited historical drilling on some of these targets has confirmed the
presence of widespread alteration and mineralisation in association with the magnetic targets. Of the 14
historical holes, 7 failed to intersect the causative magnetic bodies, 4 were sighted on the wrong target
area, and 3 holes that partially tested the causative magnetic bodies all delivered encouraging assay results
worthy of follow-up drilling. Historical drilling has generally been too shallow or mis-targeted to test
Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2024

Directors’ Report (continued)
targets. The Company notes that many of the targets share similar intrusion related gold signatures to that
of the Greatland Gold (AIM: GGP) Havieron deposit (8.4Moz AuEq, IRG iv) including:
•
•
•
•
Bullseye to sub-circular magnetic high anomalies;
Meta-sedimentary host rocks;
Pyrrhotite related mineralisation; and
Related gravity high anomalies.
Target Overview Examples
F1 Anomaly
A fence of three Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD) core holes was completed at the F1 anomaly.
Drilling intercepted an I-type intrusive granodiorite with hydrothermal alteration was noted as occurring
with pyrrhotite, minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite intergrown with coarse muscovite, interstitial to
igneous quartz, feldspar and biotite, within granodioritic host rocks. The easternmost drillhole (F1DD01),
passed through anomalous molybdenum (up to 0.2% Mo) as well as other IRG pathfinders including Bi, As
(up to 1%) and Au (up to 0.24g/t). The pattern between the three drillholes suggests a pathfinder zonation
in the F1 anomaly, pointing to potential for high gold zones in association with magnetic high responses,
outside the centre of the intrusion. Modelling indicates no drilling tested the discrete magnetic high
anomaly.
H1 Anomaly
A discrete magnetic high where regional aeromagnetics suggests the anomaly is underlain by a large
intrusive. Drilling intersected significant fluorite in veins indicating the influence of igneous fluids and
hydrothermal mineralisation. Disseminated magnetic pyrrhotite becomes more abundant towards the
bottom of the hole corresponding to increasing Zn anomalism. Modelling suggests the magnetic target was
not tested.
CUT-B Anomaly
The coincident gravity high and magnetic high anomaly shows the close spatial relationship between
magnetic material and dense material in a favourable structural position. Historical drilling appears to have
missed the magnetic anomaly however mineralised veins were noted with assays up to 113g/t Ag, 0.5% Cu
and 4.2% Zn. These veins are within a 300 m zone of strong carbonate and silica alteration indicative of an
extensive, metalliferous, hydrothermal system, which the Company interprets to have not been tested.

Proposed Exploration
Initial work will focus on compiling and interpreting the existing exploration datasets and reviewing
historical drill core stored at the Londonderry Core Library. This work will be completed in parallel with
ongoing activities across the Company’s portfolio within our existing budget.

DRAKE PROJECT
The Drake Project sits within the highly prospective New England Fold Belt (NEFB) and covers two granted
exploration licences EL6273 and EL9616, and exploration licence application ELA6642. It is one of several
epithermal gold, silver, and base metal districts that formed along the east coast of Australia 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) v, Mt Carlton gold mine (8.5Moz Au) vi and Mt
Rawdon gold mine (2Moz Au) vii, and the Mt Carrington Mine which the Drake Project surrounds.
Details of the Acquisition
Legacy Minerals wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenpath Minerals Pty Ltd (Greenpath), entered into an
agreement to acquire exploration license EL6273 EL9190 and EL9194 for A$200k in cash from White Rock
Limited (EMS). Starlight will grant a 1.5% royalty to EMS and have the option to buy back 0.75% of the
royalty for A$2M and the remaining $0.75% for A$4M at any stage.
Project Overview and Exploration
The Company continues to work towards compiling a comprehensive database of all historical surface and
drilling assays, as well as historical geological maps, mining activities and geophysical surveys. The size of
the Project area and the extensive work that has been undertaken by companies over the years is
significant and provides Legacy Minerals with a fantastic base of knowledge and information from which to
leverage and work from. This work is expected to be finalised over the next couple months and the
learnings from which will be key in determining the forward exploration program.
In parallel to this work, the Company is assessing a range of potential geophysical survey techniques to be
acquired over the tenement area. The work will begin to set the foundation for the Company’s systematic
approach of target generation across the Project area.
Extensive, shallow gold, copper and silver results from across the Project area demonstrate compelling
discovery potential, with assays including:
•
RED003: 8m at 16.92g/t Au, 17g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 1.45% Pb and 6.89% Zn, from 52m viii
During the reporting period, Legacy Minerals signed a key land access agreement with the Forestry
Corporation of NSW covering 13,728 ha of the Drake Project. The Company has now established a base of
operations at Drake by leasing a property, including a shed and core yard, to facilitate future exploration
and drilling programs.

BAULOORA PROJECT
The Bauloora Project exhibits a larges zone of low sulfidation, epithermal-style gold and silver alteration
and mineralisation in NSW. The project hosts numerous targets with shallow high-grade Au-Ag occurrences
which includes the Mee Mar Prospect with vein strikes over 2 km and rock samples up to 55.5g/t Au and
933g/t Ag xiii.
Legacy Minerals has progressively developed the Bauloora Project through systematic exploration work
including geological mapping, rock chip sampling, gradient array IP surveying, detailed ground magnetic
surveying, ASTER data acquisition and interpretation, and widespread soil sampling. The results from this
work strongly supported the assessment that there is significant potential for a major low sulfidation
epithermal-style gold-silver deposit at the Bauloora Project.
The Bauloora Project is in the Central Lachlan Fold Belt NSW, which is host to world-class copper-gold
orebodies including the Cadia-Ridgeway, Northparkes, and Cowal Mines. It is in a zone which is bounded to
the west by the Gilmore Fault Zone and to the east by the Cootamundra Fault. Bauloora contains structural
remnants of Early Silurian dominantly dacitic volcanic rocks and related granites, Siluro-Devonian
sediments and felsic volcanic rocks deposited on a basement of Late Ordovician turbidites, Late Ordovician
to Early Silurian intermediate volcanic rocks and related intrusions and sedimentary rocks. xiv
Geophysics and Geochemistry

Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited Annual Report 30 June 2024
Page 12
Directors’ Report (continued)
The Company completed Phase 1 of a large-scale, 80 line-km Audio-frequency Magnetotelluric (AMT)
Survey over the Bauloora Vein Field. Phase 1 of the AMT survey comprising 522 sites across the Bauloora
Vein field, aimed at defining resistive potential ‘feeder structures’ that may host high-grade gold.
AMT is a geophysical survey technique that has been successful in targeting low sulphidation epithermal
Au-Ag deposits around the world and will provide visibility to almost 1km depth. Geophysical contractors
Quantec Geoscience and AGS were engaged to complete this work. The total survey area including Phase 2
will cover approximately 10km2 with approximately 200m spaced lines and infill to 100m spaced lines at the
Breccia Sinter Prospect.
The Company flew a large and detailed magnetic and radiometric survey across the entire 330km2 Bauloora
Project, comprising 7,041 line km at 50m spaced lines, co funded by the NSW Government xvi. Flight lines
were at 50m line spacing at a height of approximately 60m-150m, to provide high quality magnetic and
radiometric survey data which will greatly improve upon the currently available government survey data
obtained over the tenement. These datasets will greatly enhance the ability to interpret litho-structural
controls to mineralisation across the tenement and potentially the direct detection of new Au-Ag
epithermal prospect areas by identifying demagnetisation due to magnetite-destructive alteration of the
host volcanic rocks and elevated K:Th which may represent illite-adularia alteration.
Three diamond drill holes were completed for a total of 1,795.7m at the Breccia Sinter prospect. Low
sulphidation epithermal-style veins were intersected in all drill holes. Variations in vein textures and
mineralogy between veins and overprinting existing quartz veins suggests a low-sulphidation epithermalstyle of mineralisation has been overprinted by a later intermediate sulphidation epithermal-style of
mineralisation.
Geological observations indicate these holes intersected host rocks that are variably altered rhyodacites,
conglomerate, volcaniclastics and tuffs. Broad zones of chlorite-sericite hydrothermal alteration are
observed distal to structures and moderate to intense sericite-hematite or silica-sericite+/- hematite
alteration is found proximal to epithermal-style veins.
