(TSXV: LEGY) (the \"Company\" or \"Legacy Gold\") reports that it has received final assays from the 2025 surface exploration program on the Baner Gold Mine Property (the \"Property\") in Idaho County, Idaho, USA. These results have helped expand the width of gold mineralization in previously reported holes on the Property, which sits within the historic Orogrande gold mine district in Idaho and has been optioned by the Company.\"So far the drilling on the Baner Gold Mine Property has returned everything in the way of gold mineralization we expected, but in thicker zones,\" said Mike Sutton, Legacy Gold's Vice President, Exploration. \"We've intersected very wide zones such as new assays of 0.55 g/t Au over 187.5m (615ft) in the middle, 0.52 g/t Au over 108.2m (355ft) in the south, and new assays of 0.57 g/t Au over 64.0m (210ft) in the north. The deposit remains open in all directions, and we are looking forward to the 2026 drilling programs to build on these results.\" The latest assays are from samples not originally sent from last year's RC drilling program holes as the initial emphasis was on sending the most visually appealing samples to the assay lab where quartz veining or low sulphides were present. These latest samples have returned additions to several intersections, plus new intersections. The previously reported two intersections in hole LG25-004 have now been joined into one continuous intersection of 0.55 g/t Au over 187.5m (615ft) and the furthest north wildcat hole LG25-006 originally reported two zones, but these have now been joined into one continuous intersection of 0.57 g/t Au over 64.0m (210ft) approximately 136m northwest of the nearest drilling.Results from the recent 2025 drilling and previous drilling and exploration have supported the initial exploration target at the Property of approximately 50.3 million to 55.3 million tonnes, at average grades ranging from approximately 0.72 g/t Au to 0.91 g/t Au (the \"Exploration Target\"). Furthermore, this initial Exploration Target was estimated prior to the receipt of the new assays reported here, w...
