• Leading global advisory firm WSP Global Inc. appointed to update the Mt Carrington Mineral
Resource Estimate (MRE) incorporating important new density data sets, drilling results and
updated assumptions based on the outcomes of the Ausenco Mt Carrington Study Worki,1

Expanded silver drilling to be incorporated into MRE
• The updated MRE will include high-grade silver drill results not previously incorporated, including:
o 26.5m at 220g/t Ag and 0.1g/t Au from 133.3m (MODD004).
Expanded copper drilling to be incorporated into MRE
• It will also include high-grade and previously unincorporated copper drill results, including:
o 18.9m at 5.8% Cu from 58m and 10.1m at 7.26% Cu from 88m (KYDD001).
Goals and expected outcomes for a new MRE
• The updated MRE is being prepared to inform the planned optimisation of the 2026 Scoping Study.
• Improved confidence categories in the updated resource, moving Inferred Resources to Indicated
Resources, supported by a previously unincorporated specific gravity (SG) and drilling dataset.
• A potentially larger resource that is supported by recent progress in defining a clear and simple
metallurgical processing pathway and the saleability of precious metal concentrate.
Key inputs being incorporated
• Updated SG density measurements and drilling validated across the Mt Carrington Project area.
• Revised metal payability assumptions, informed by the outcomes of the Ausenco 2026 Scoping
Study.
• Updated gold, silver and copper prices compared to those applied in the 2025 MRE.
• A review of the Mt Carrington geological and mineralisation models.
Upcoming work and news flow
• New 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Mt Carrington expected within four weeks.
• Drilling at the Emu Prospect is underway with results expected four-six weeks after final drill hole.
• Scoping Study Optimisation to commence following completion of the new MRE.

INTERACTIVE INVESTOR HUB
Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM, “LGM”, “the Company” or “Legacy Minerals”) is pleased
to advise that it has commenced an update to the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its flagship Mt
Carrington Gold-Silver-Copper Project in NSW (EL6273, EL9616, EL9727, ALA753F
iv
).
Management Comment: Legacy Minerals CEO & Managing Director, Christopher Byrne, said:
"Legacy Minerals has appointed leading global advisory firm WSP to update the Mt Carrington Mineral
Resource Estimate. This is a critical step and a momentum-shifting opportunity for the Project and the
Company. Since the 2025 estimate, we have validated large-density datasets across the Project, the
metal price environment has strengthened, and we have identified a clear, simple mining and
processing pathway through the work completed as part of the 2026 Ausenco Scoping Study.
Combined with updated payability assumptions and a fresh review of our geological and mineralisation
models, this MRE is intended to better define the gold, copper and especially the silver endowment, as
well as increase the Indicated Resource tonnage at Mt Carrington. If this work is successful, it would
establish solid foundations for the upcoming Scoping Study Optimisation and has the potential to
significantly improve the already impressive baseline results of the Ausenco 2026 Scoping Study.”
Mineral Resource Estimate Update
Legacy Minerals has commenced an update to the Mt Carrington Mineral Resource Estimate, building
on the estimate last reported in early 2025. The update is being undertaken to reflect the most current
data and assumptions available, and to support the planned optimisation of the Mt Carrington 2026
Scoping Study.
The work incorporates four key inputs:
1. Updated SG density measurements collected across the Project area;
2. The higher gold, silver and base metal price environment prevailing today relative to the time
of the 2025 estimate;
3. Revised Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE) assumptions
informed by the outcomes of the 2026 Ausenco Scoping Study and 2026 Metallurgical Bridging
Studyi
; and
4. A review of the geological and mineralisation models for the deposits.
The Company is encouraged by recent progress made through the delivery of the 2026 Ausenco
Scoping Study, which defined a straightforward, simple mining and processing pathway that delivers
a highly saleable concentrate product.
Next Steps
• Mineral Resource Estimation work on the Project is ongoing in preparation for an updated
Scoping Study.
• Drilling is ongoing at the Emu Prospect and is expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks to
complete, with full assays expected to be returned within 4-6 weeks from final core hole
processing.
• After the Emu Prospect drilling is completed, the drill rig will then mobilise to Mascotte, where
drilling will follow up on results from the first campaign.
• The dipole-dipole induced polarisation survey is expected to be completed within the next
three weeks. Results from the surveys are anticipated shortly after the data review and
interpretation.

All tonnages reported are dry metric tonnes. Minor differences may occur due to rounding to appropriate significant figures. AuEq calculated using the formula: AuEq = Au + 0.00986xAg +
1.237237xCu + 0.3493xZn + 0.2784xPb. Formulas calculated using silver price of A$43/oz, gold price of A$3,600/oz, copper price of A$14,000/t, zinc price of A$4,200/t and lead price of A$3,150/t.
In the opinion of the Company, all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be sold and recovered based on current market conditions and metallurgical
test work up to 2017.
