Legacy Gold intersects 1.44 g/t Au over 80 ft at Baner, Idaho

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2026) - Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: LEGY) (the " Company " or " Legacy Gold ") reports assay results from LG26-005, the first reverse circulation (" RC ") hole reported from its 2026 drill program at the Baner Gold Mine Property in Idaho County, Idaho, USA (the " Baner Property "). Legacy Gold has completed Phase 1 of its 2026 work program and commenced Phase 2 RC drilling, which is currently expected to continue through August and into September.

LG26-005 extended Main Zone gold mineralization 220m (720ft) north of the nearest previous drill intersection and returned substantial widths of near-surface mineralization, including 0.86 g/t Au over 45.7m (150ft) from 13.7m (45 ft) downhole, beginning only 2.1m (7ft) vertically below surface . This included 1.44 g/t Au over 24.4 m (80 ft) , one of Legacy Gold's widest intersections grading above 1.0 g/t Au at the Baner Property to date, including 15.8 g/t Au over 1.5 m (5 ft) . Another intersection returned 0.42 g/t Au over 18.3m (60ft) from 80.8m (265ft) downhole, beginning 24.4m (80ft) vertically below surface.

"It's great to see mineralization again beginning at or near surface and continuing over considerable widths, consistent with our successful 2025 drilling—a significant positive from a future development perspective," said Mike Sutton, Legacy Gold's Vice President, Exploration. "LG26-005 also extends gold mineralization farther north while delivering some of the strongest higher-grade results from our drilling at the Baner Property so far. Together, these results have expanded the known mineralized footprint well beyond our initial Exploration Target area to both the north and south."

"The RC portion of this summer's exploration program is expected to i
