Artificial Intelligence Highlights Untested Potential at Mt Carrington
AI-assisted targeting identifies multiple opportunities for resource growth and new discovery
across Mt Carrington 115Moz AgEqi
Project
New Generation of drill targets defined
• AI-assisted targeting has identified 38 priority gold-silver-copper targets across the district-scale
Au-Ag Mt Carrington Epithermal Project in NSW.
• The targeting was undertaken by applying Vrify’s DORA exploration intelligence software for
mining to Legacy Minerals’ extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical database, including
historical drilling and recently completed Mobile MT data.
• The results confirm known prospective trends such as Mt Carrington, White Rock and Mascotte
and have unlocked a new portfolio of targets including new prospective zones nearby and within
the area of the Emu Prospect which has recently received approvals for drill testing.
Targets are outside of the existing 115Moz AgEqi
Mineral Resource
• The AI study has highlighted brownfields extension targets at Mt Carrington and White Rock,
supporting follow-up work to increase the existing 115Moz AgEq Mineral Resourcei
.
• The study has also identified new regional target clusters outside the current Mineral Resource,
including the Omega, Zi, Mars and Callisto targets, expanding the Mt Carrington Project’s
discovery pipeline.
• Vrify’s AI targeting has been used by Southern Cross Gold (ASX:SXG)ii
and Equinox Gold (TSX:EQX)iii
where it successfully contributed to new mineral discoveries.
Next Steps
• The Company will drill test the first of these recognised prospective target areas near the Emu
Prospect in the upcoming drill campaign.
• Mascotte assays are pending with additional drilling planned pending regulatory approval.

Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM, “LGM”, “the Company” or “Legacy Minerals”) is pleased
to advise that it has received the results from Artificial Intelligence targeting at the Mt Carrington
Project in NSW (EL6273, EL9616, EL9727, ALA75).
Management Comment Legacy Minerals CEO & Managing Director, Christopher Byrne said:
“Mt Carrington already hosts a substantial gold-silver Mineral Resource of 115Moz AgEq and sits
within a large caldera structure that has benefited from decades of exploration. What the application
of AI-assisted technology work has done is bring that exploration dataset together in a disciplined way
to help us rank where the next phase of value may emerge, both around known deposits and in areas
that have seen limited effective follow-up.
The strongest outcome is the definition of 38 priority targets across the district, including brownfields
targets near Mt Carrington and White Rock that may support extensions to known mineralisation, as
well as regional targets such as Omega, Zi, Mars and Callisto that add to the discovery drilling pipeline.
Importantly, these targeting outputs help us to prioritise work programs, refine drill planning and
allocate exploration capital more effectively. With Mascotte assays pending, Emu Prospect drilling
about to commence and further approvals and site preparation for follow up drilling at Mascotte, we
see a strong pipeline of near-term catalysts at Mt Carrington.”

AI study results
The targeting study applied Vrify’s DORA platform to the Company’s database of geological,
geochemical and geophysical information compiled over the Mt Carrington area of interest. Three
models were run focusing on gold, silver and copper mineralisation pathfinders.
Importantly, the study is a target generation and ranking tool. It is designed to support ongoing
geological interpretation and drill planning, rather than replace geological judgement or imply that
mineralisation has been confirmed in any target area.
The modelling identified 38 targets with strong prospectivity scores and confirmed several previously
recognised areas of interest, including Emu, Battery and Mascotte. In addition to validating known
prospective trends, the outputs also highlighted extensional trends to known mineralisation and

generated new, ranked targets across the broader Mt Carrington Project. Six main target clusters were
defined, comprising both new areas and targets that correspond with previously recognised
prospectivity. New regional target areas including Omega, Zi, Mars and Callisto are semi-coincident
with previously recognised target areas such as Battery, Emu and Mascotte. Other targets defined
extensions to mineralised trends at Mt Carrington and White Rock, generally in a north to north-east
orientation.
The study identified a suite of priority gold and silver targets based on the integration of structural,
geophysical and radiometric datasets. These outputs support the Company’s interpretation that
structural architecture, subsurface physical property contrasts and alteration signatures are important
controls on mineralisation across the district.

Brownfields Targeting Implications
The brownfields outcome is particularly important at Mt Carrington Project that hosts a substantial
115Moz AgEqi
Mineral Resource and where the recently completed scoping study highlighted the
development opportunity for a first-quartile, All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) operation at A$1,188/oz4F
v
.
The study has highlighted extensional targets near known mineralisation, including new areas
interpreted to be open along strike and at depth. These targets support follow-up work directed at
resource extension opportunities in both silver-dominant and gold-dominant parts of the system. As
an example, in the brown fields setting at the silver rich White Rock area, new targets such as Lambda,
Nu, Gamma and Link present compelling future drill targets (Figure 4). The improved target ranking is
valuable because it helps the Company sequence work programs more effectively and refine drill hole
design within a large mineralised system that has seen extensive but variable historical exploration.

Rock deposits (Oblique view, looking NW). Higher prospectivity indicated by lighter colours.
Regional Targeting Implications
Beyond the existing resource areas, the study has identified regional targets that expand the
exploration pipeline across the broader Mt Carrington district. Target areas including Omega, Zi, Mars
and Callisto add new, ranked opportunities outside the current Mineral Resource footprint (Figure 2).
These targets provide Legacy Minerals with additional pathways to test for new mineralised centres
across a project area that remains underexplored relative to its geological scale and endowment. The
regional outputs will be advanced through staged follow-up work, including reconnaissance mapping,
sampling and target refinement, before ranking for drill testing where appropriate.
The highest-ranked gold targets are being driven by a combination of structural trends, geophysical
inversion depth layers, including magnetics and recently completed Mobile MT, and radiometric
responses. The Company considers these outputs to be consistent with its interpretation of important,
deep-seated conductive feeder structures and a district-scale conductivity lineament. These features
are interpreted to link known mineralisation, historical workings and broader hydrothermal fluid
pathways, with implications for the scale and depth extent of the Mt Carrington system. The results
reinforce Mt Carrington’s position as a district-scale, epithermal gold-silver opportunity with multiple
avenues for both brownfields resource growth and regional discovery.
Artificial Intelligence Overview
Mt Carrington is a richly-mineralised district with decades of exploration data accumulated by
successive operators, but much of that data has never been brought together in a single, consistent
framework. To unlock the insight buried in that dataset, Legacy Minerals engaged Vrify and applied its
DORA AI platform, the same system that has supported mineral discoveries on projects in Australia,
Canada and elsewhere.
DORA combines Legacy Minerals' project-specific drilling, geochemistry, geophysics and structural
information with global reference datasets and applies machine-learning pattern recognition across
the full data stack. DORA uses a vision transformer model, conceptually similar to large language
models but focussed on geoscience inputs that enables the evaluation of thousands of geological

scenarios and the recognition of spatial relationships that are difficult to resolve through conventional
interpretation alone.
At the Mt Carrington Project, DORA has integrated the historical exploration database with the
recently completed high-resolution, Mobile MT geophysical survey and reprocessed IP data. The
integration has surfaced new mineralisation patterns, ranked extensions to known mineral zones, and
identified high-priority gold, silver and copper targets that the Company can now progress to field
validation and drill testing.
Conclusion and Next Steps
The AI study has defined 38 priority targets across the Mt Carrington Project, including brownfields
targets near existing deposits and regional targets outside the current Mineral Resource. The first of
these AI-derived targets to be drill-tested is associated with the Emu Prospect, where Legacy Minerals
is preparing to commence a drill program testing silver, gold and copper mineralisation in the
upcoming campaign. Emu sits within a structurally complex part of the Mt Carrington system and has
been identified by the AI study as one of the higher-ranked greenfields opportunities, with coincident
structural, geophysical and geochemical signatures supporting potential discovery of copper-gold-
silver mineralisation at depth.

In parallel, the next phase of work across the broader Mt Carrington Project will focus on target
refinement across the regional target areas (including Omega, Zi, Mars and Callisto), while remaining
brownfields targets near known mineralisation will be progressively assessed for drill ranking and
testing as appropriate.
At the Mascotte Prospect, the receipt of the remaining drilling assays from the drill campaign designed
to test the extent of the mineralised system is expected shortly. In preparation for follow up drilling,
the Company is advancing approvals and site preparation.
The company has a clear and active pipeline of near-term drill catalysts and looks forward to updating
shareholders on the progress.
About Mt Carrington
The Mt Carrington Project is a district-scale, epithermal gold-silver project located in northern New
South Wales, approximately 100km south-south-west of Brisbane, within 393km2 of granted
exploration tenements and an assessment lease application. The project is centred on the Drake
Volcanics, where much of the mineralisation occurs within a large circular caldera complex
characterised by a low magnetic signature across 150km2
.
Gold- and silver-dominant deposits at Mt Carrington are interpreted as low- to intermediate-
sulphidation epithermal vein-style mineralisation. Mineralisation occurs as stockwork fissure veins,
vein breccias, disseminated zones, lithological controls and bedding-parallel vein structures associated
with extensive phyllic to silicic alteration. Veining is also localised along the margins of andesite to
rhyolite domes, plugs and lava flows within a sequence dominated by andesitic volcaniclastics.
Regionally, the project sits within the New England Fold Belt, with host rocks comprising a Permian
bimodal volcano-sedimentary sequence dominated by andesite and associated volcaniclastics.
Basaltic through rhyolitic facies are variably present, together with numerous contemporaneous
andesite to rhyolite sub-volcanic intrusions. Mt Carrington hosts a substantial Mineral Resource and
continues to offer both resource growth potential around known deposits and discovery upside across
the broader district.
