Legacy Gold Completes 16 Hole Drill Program on Its Baner Gold Mine Property in Central Idaho

Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – October 9, 2025) – Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: LEGY) (the “Company” or “Legacy“) has completed the planned drilling and exploration programs on the Baner gold mine property in Idaho (the “Baner Gold Mine Property“) pursuant to a three (3) year option on the property it has with Champion Electric Metals Inc. (“Champion Electric“). Legacy commenced this surface drilling program in Q3, focused mainly on previously drilled areas within the Main Zone, located in the center of the property package (see the press release dated October 1, 2025). The Company has completed approximately 9,000 feet of drilling (approximately 2,743 metres) in 16 holes, with assays pending.

The Baner Gold Mine Property sits within the historic Orogrande Gold Mining District that has hosted numerous historic gold mines since Idaho’s first gold rush in the late 1800’s. Legacy’s 2025, 16 hole drill program tested for the continuity of high grade and wide low grade zones of gold mineralization in a flatter dip interpretation along sections of the Orogrande shear structure within the Main Zone.

“Completing the roughly 9,000 feet of drilling across the targets in the Main Zone of the property provides valuable information and allows us to further study the regional potential our team sees in the Orogrande Gold Mining District,” said Brian Hinchcliffe. “As we await assay results for these holes, our team will now be able to turn their focus to evaluating the other projects and properties that have been presented to us in Canada and the United States.”

This drill program primarily targeted the Main Zone in areas with results produced from previous drilling by Champion Electric that included 20.8 g/t Au over 12.0m and 8.7 g/t Au over 6.3m, along with 27 intersections that are greater than 10.0m, and that average 18.6m (at 1.16 g/t Au) in the 21 drill holes in the Main Zone and NW Zone (see the Technical Report, defined below). Legacy’s 2025 drilling has followed up on that previous drilling, but assumes that greater potential width to the mineralized zones can be captured by angling the drill hole direction differently. Hence the main goals of the drill program is to prove the flatter interpreted dip, extend the strike length and expand zones of mineralization within the Main Zone.
