Legacy Minerals Holdings LimitedL
Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM), Bathurst-based (relocated there May 2026), holds a ~8,000km2, nine-project portfolio across New South Wales prospective for gold, silver, copper and other critical minerals, including the Bauloora, Rockley, Harden, Cobar, Fontenoy, Glenlogan, Drake Gold-Copper and Black Range projects. The company's flagship, most-advanced asset is the Mt Carrington Project, which carries a current JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate -- most recently updated to 47.9Mt @ 1.0g/t AuEq (1.6Moz AuEq: 714koz Au, 35Moz Ag, plus 164kt Zn/40kt Cu/38kt Pb; Indicated 19.3Mt @ 1.22g/t AuEq, Inferred 28.6Mt), reconfirmed via a 7 Sep 2026 ASX announcement. A scoping study led by Ausenco, released in May 2026 on the 2025 resource, models a 1 million tonne-per-year stand-alone operation running for 12 years, and an optimised scoping study on the larger July 2026 resource began in late August 2026, with results expected in the December 2026 quarter. The study's core Mt Carrington gold-rich and silver-rich deposits lie on an assessment lease application (ALA75) that was still awaiting approval at 30 June 2026, while the Red Rock and White Rock resources lie on the company's granted exploration licences. The company also has farm-in/JV partnerships with Newmont, S2 Resources and Earth AI on its earlier-stage projects, and an active drill campaign at Fontenoy.

Lifecycle Milestones
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
New South Wales: Fraser PPI 2025 is 73.26 of 100 (rank 37 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. New South Wales, Australia is a Tier-1, well-established mining jurisdiction (Lachlan Fold Belt).
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Mt Carrington Gold-Silver Project, New South Wales, Australia (checked Sep 26, 2026; recheck due Mar 25, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:3.5/10
