(TSXV: LEGY) (the \"Company\" or \"Legacy Gold\") is pleased to announce that Phase 1 of its 2026 drill program, consisting of diamond drilling on the Baner Gold Mine Property in Idaho County, Idaho, USA (the \"Baner Property\"), is targeting start-up the week of May 11, 2026. This 2026 drill program targeting 40,000 feet (12,194 metres) of drilling, will commence with approximately 12,000 feet (3,658 metres) of diamond drilling and will be followed with approximately 28,000 feet (8,536 metres) of reverse circulation drilling (\"RC\"). The 2026 drill program is designed to follow up on the previously announced, successful 2025 drill results targeting the Main Zone and NE Zone at the Baner Property, as well as new exploration targets indicated by large gold-in-soil anomalies coincident with geophysical conductors similar magnetic highs similar to those associated with the Main Zone. \"The Legacy Gold team has been working diligently with its contractors to mobilize two diamond drills for a dynamic Phase 1 startup, taking full advantage of seasonal light,\" said Brian Hinchcliffe, Chairman and CEO of Legacy Gold. \"We hope to build on the momentum from the $10 million financing completed in April and move right into our 2026 drill campaign of infill, step-out and exploration drilling aimed at delineating a maiden mineral resource on the Baner Property in late Q4 2026 or early Q1 2027.\" An RC Drill Contractor has been engaged for the Phase 2 of the 2026 drill program which is expected to commence during the summer of 2026, after the Phase 1 diamond drill program has been completed. The RC drill plan includes holes from previously permitted drill pads, some of which were used during the 2025 drill campaign, and certain new drill pads for which permits are expected during the first week of May 2026. The Company intends to conduct additional work and technical studies to evaluate whether sufficient data may be obtained to compliment a future mineral resource estimate that the Company hopes to undertake. This may include metallurgical testwork, deportment studies and airborne geophysics (for follow-up exploration).
