Legacy Minerals Commences Drilling at Promising Thomson Gold-Copper Project

Thomson Gold-Copper Project

Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM) has initiated drilling operations at its highly prospective Thomson Gold-Copper Project in northwest NSW, Australia. Two deep drill holes, each planned to reach 600 metres, target significant geophysical anomalies that may indicate substantial intrusion-related gold-copper (IRG-Cu) mineralisation.

Key Highlights:

  • Drilling is underway on two significant targets (F4 and Cut-B) identified by coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies.

  • Targets potentially represent large-scale Intrusion-Related Gold and Copper systems, similar to major discoveries in the Paterson Province, Western Australia (e.g., Winu and Havieron deposits).

  • Geophysical surveys and advanced 3D modelling highlight the anomalies' large size and favourable geological setting.

  • Drilling assays from over 1,000m of previously unsampled historical drill core, which revealed zones of significant mineralisation, are pending and anticipated in late March or early April 2025.

  • 1,200 metres of drilling is scheduled, utilising combined mud-rotary and diamond drilling techniques.

CEO Christopher Byrne commented, "Drilling at Thomson is underway, targeting exciting, previously untested anomalies. The large-scale magnetic and gravity anomalies we've identified indicate strong potential for a significant gold-copper discovery."

Legacy Minerals is strategically positioned as a first-mover in the underexplored Thomson region. Drilling results are expected to significantly inform future exploration and development efforts.
