Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. has reported assay results from reverse circulation drill holes LG26-021 and LG26-022 at the Baner Property in Idaho County, Idaho, highlighted by hole LG26-021 extending the known Main Zone width to approximately 310 metres (1,020 feet).

Hole LG26-021 intersected 0.67 g/t gold over 15.2 metres starting from 120.4 metres downhole, including 2.0 g/t gold over 1.5 metres. The hole also returned a broader intersection of 0.39 g/t gold over 61.0 metres beginning 24.4 metres downhole, which included four higher-grade 1.5-metre intervals ranging from 0.86 g/t to 2.41 g/t gold.

A second hole from the same uphill area, LG26-022, returned multiple intervals including 0.95 g/t gold over 3.0 metres, 0.52 g/t gold over 3.0 metres, 0.37 g/t gold over 10.7 metres, and 0.32 g/t gold over 7.6 metres. Legacy Gold noted that hole LG26-022 deviated upward relative to its planned orientation, becoming more nearly parallel to the mineralized structures and reducing its effectiveness as a cross-structure test.

The replacement engine for the reverse circulation drill rig has been installed, allowing drilling operations to resume. The Phase 2 program is planned to comprise up to 43 holes, following up on 2025 results by targeting both the Main and Northeast Zones, as well as new exploration targets to the northwest.

To support ongoing exploration across the project, the company increased its non-brokered private placement in June 2026 to target gross proceeds of C$10.0 million. Alongside drilling, Legacy Gold contracted RDI in June 2026 to conduct metallurgical and deportment studies to advance production conceptualization for the property.

“The mineralization is still open in all directions and is filling in, in keeping with our interpretation,” said Mike Sutton, Legacy Gold's Director and Vice President, Exploration. “LG26-021 extends mineralization farther west and uphill and increases the Main Zone width to approximately 1,020 feet (310 metres). We now have results from four of the six key drill pads up the hill to the west, and all four have returned significant mineralization at or close to surface, continuing to support our interpretation that the mineralization extends across the hillside from surface to significant depths.”

Regional activity has also seen recent updates in the surrounding Idaho district, where Perpetua Resources Corp. reported high-grade drill results at the Stibnite Gold Project on August 7, 2026, including an intercept of 21.3 metres grading 3.2 g/t gold and 0.9% tungsten.
