Legacy Gold extends Zone 150m south, fills 150m mineralization gap at Baner, Idaho

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2026) - Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: LEGY) (the " Company " or " Legacy Gold ") reports assay results from the first two holes of the Phase 1 core drilling portion of its 2026 drill program at the Baner Gold Mine Property in Idaho County, Idaho, USA (the " Baner Property "). The Company expects the Phase 1 core drilling portion of the drill program to be completed this week. The Phase 2 reverse circulation (" RC ") drilling portion, which is testing both the previously drilled Main Zone and other target areas, is well underway.

"It is important not to lose sight of the principal objective of this year's drilling, which is to prove that the mineralization extends uphill such that the Exploration Target is realized," said Mike Sutton, Vice-President, Geology of Legacy Gold. "To date, we've done that and have, in fact, extended the mineralization beyond the area contemplated by the Exploration Target to the south." The first hole, LG26-009, intersected five (5) mineralized zones and extended mineralization up to 150m (492ft) south of the nearest previous intersection. The 150m (492ft) offset intersection graded 2.9 g/t Au and 41.8 g/t Ag over 3.6m (11.8ft) and is thought to represent the north-south extension of mineralization in the Main Zone.

The same hole also intersected 0.43 g/t Au over 16.9m (55.4ft) from 6.1m (20ft) downhole (2.5m or 8ft vertical), which is thought to represent the east-west trending Baner vein mineralization. Results from hole LG26-015 filled in a 150m (492ft) gap at the northern end of the Baner Main Zone and returned four (4) mineralized zones, with the two best zones, located mid-way among the four, grading 1.1 g/t Au over 12.4m (40.7ft) and 0.42 g/t Au over 14.5m (47.4ft). Of utmost importance, the oriented core from holes LG26-015 and LG26-010 (assays pen
