en.Wedoany.com Reported - Legacy Minerals has initiated a ground geophysical survey at the Battery and Mascotte targets within the Mt Carrington project in New South Wales, Australia.
The company manages the project through exploration licenses EL6273, EL9616, EL9727, and ALA75. Fender Geophysics has commenced dipole-dipole induced polarization (DDIP) surveys along six priority lines, aimed at targeting previously identified mineralized zones. Field operations are expected to take three weeks, with results to be released following data analysis and review.
The DDIP survey aims to define the extension of the high-grade gold and silver zone at Mascotte and assist in locating potential high-grade copper mineralization at the Battery target. Survey data will be integrated with ongoing outcrop sampling and mapping activities to inform future drilling programs. This geophysical survey is designed to delineate extensions and provide guidance for high-grade targets identified in previous drilling.
Previous drilling results include: Hole MSDD001 intersected 40 meters at 1 gram per tonne (g/t) gold from 151 meters, including 9 meters at 2.7 g/t gold; and 57 meters at 0.3 g/t gold from 81 meters, including 8 meters at 1.3 g/t gold from 129 meters. In hole MSDD003, a 1-meter interval returned 18.7% lead, 8.7% zinc, and 43 g/t silver. In addition to geophysical work, Legacy Minerals continues drilling at the Emu target, with assay results expected within four to six weeks after core processing is completed. A new mineral resource estimate for 2026 is also underway, which will inform an upcoming scoping study. After the Emu drilling phase concludes, the rig is scheduled to move to Mascotte for follow-up drilling.
Legacy Minerals CEO and Managing Director Christopher Byrne stated that initiating the DDIP survey at Battery and Mascotte is a significant step in unlocking the value of these targets. The technical team has found evidence of a well-mineralized epithermal gold-silver system at Mascotte, while Battery may host a large copper-rich system. These surveys will provide critical subsurface data to refine geological models and support the design of subsequent targeted drilling programs.
