Cobar aeromag survey highlights priority targets
Aeromagnetics highlights Cobar-Type target areas across LGM’s two Cobar Licences
Legacy Minerals Ltd (ASX: LGM, “Legacy Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the
completion of the aeromagnetic survey of the Company’s 100% owned Cobar licences, located less
than 3km from Aurelia Metal’s (ASX: AMI) Peak Gold Mines.
Highlights
Legacy Minerals’, in participation with Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of NSW
(GSNSW), completed over 1,000km of flight lines covering 78% of the project area.
‘Key ingredients’ – encouraging structural framework of the tenement highlighted
• Processing and interpretation of aeromagnetic data has identified 21 high priority targets
• Importantly we are seeing continuity of major structures through both the tenements
• These structures are a ‘key ingredient’ to facilitate the emplacement of Cobar-Type
mineralisation.
Structural features coincide with previously identified AEM anomalies
• The detailed aeromagnetic data has highlighted several priority aerial electromagnetic (AEM)
targets previously identified through the AEM survey.
Magnetics highlight Yarrawonga prospect
• The aeromagnetics has highlighted the Yarrawonga prospect as an area of significant interest
• Interpreted major faulting nearby identified AEM anomalies, zones of elevated induced
polarisation (IP) chargeability, and anomalous surface geochemistry including gold in lag up to
1.5g/t Au.
Management Comment - Exploration Manager and Executive Director Thomas Wall commented:
“The recently completed aeromagnetics gives further encouragement to the prospectivity of the two
licences held at Cobar. Cobar-Type deposits are primarily structurally controlled deposits, requiring
the structural ‘plumbing’ and ‘traps’ for these deposits to occur and we are seeing this key ingredient
here.
The major structures identified in the aeromagnetic data trend through the entire length of both
tenements. This new data, in conjunction with the previously completed AEM survey, has focused our
attention on priority targets for follow up surface geochemical sampling work.
Having these untested targets only a few kilometres from the world-class Peak Gold Mines and CSA
mine is very positive and we look forward to defining quality drill targets.”

Aeromagnetic and Radiometric Survey
The Company engaged GPX Surveys through the GSNSW to collect infill aeromagnetic and
radiometric data across the licence. A high-resolution survey was flown over most of the tenement
area. Data was collected on 100m spaced lines with an average sensor height of 50m above ground
level and completed approximately 1,000km in total.
Data Interpretation and Analysis
The interpretation of this aeromagnetic data has highlighted the structural framework of the
tenement. These include first order faults such as the regionally significant Myrt Fault and second
order faults that are interpreted to be present through both tenements. The Myrt Fault and
syncline generally marks the divide between the more intensely cleaved eastern and uncleaved to
weakly cleaved western Cobar Basin sequences. Legacy Minerals tenements cover approximately
40km of this structure.
Structures such as these are a ‘key ingredient’ to facilitate the emplacement of Cobar-Type
mineralisation1. The Cobar Basin was inverted and deformed from 405 to 380 Ma and basin
inversion was initiated with reactivation of major basin/trough margin faults or near margin faults.
These included the Myrt Fault, which are interpreted to have allowed, in localised areas,
magmatically driven fluids to tap metals from both basin and underlying basement sources.
Examples of structurally controlled ‘Cobar-Type’ mineralisation include CSA, Great Cobar and the
Peak Gold Mine. All three of these mines are within 2-10km of LGM’s EL8709.
Prospect Targeting
The detailed aeromagnetic data has highlighted several prospects across both tenement areas.
These include priority AEM targets previously identified through the aerial electromagnetic (AEM)
survey completed earlier this year. It has also highlighted the Yarrawonga prospect as an area of
significant interest where major faulting is interpreted proximal to identified AEM anomalies, zone
of elevated IP chargeability, and geochemical anomalism including gold in lag up to 1.5g/t Au. Other
prospects included Hillview and Kidman.

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.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g., ‘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. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g., submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open‐
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g., core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
facesampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
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.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all cores taken.
If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
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.
Fixed wing airborne magnetic and radiometric survey using a
Cessna C-210 aircraft.
Cs optically pumped Magnetometer (stinger mounted) with a
sensitivity of 0.0002 nT, sample rate of 20 Hz (20cps), sample
interval of 3.5 meters est, bandwidth 1.4Hz.
Spectrometer sample rate of 1 Hz (70 meters est).
This type of survey helps identify geology units, faults and
alteration zones that may indicate shear hosted massive sulphide
and veined Cobar-Type deposits. While magnetic data can be used
to identify structures, not all structures will be fertile or worth
targeting. The targets may be adjacent to, rather than in the
structure.

• Hole length
If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case.
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of
high grades) and cut‐off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Where aggregated intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high-grade results and longer
lengths of low-grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of exploration results. If the
geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported. If it is not known and
only the down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement to this
effect.
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
reported. These should include, but not be
limited to a plane view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
The land is primarily freehold land. There are no native title
interests in the license area.
Historic exploration relevant to the tenement can be found in the
Company’s Prospectus dated 28 July 2021.
The Cobar tenements are hosted within the Siluro-Devonian Cobar
Basin. The project is prospective for high-grade gold and base metal
Cobar-Type mineralisation of a similar style to that which has been
historically mined in the region.
