Legacy Minerals (ASX: LGM) has hit visible gold from maiden drilling at its Harden Gold Mine Prospect in the NSW South West Slopes region, with the news coming just three days after its ASX listing.
The visible gold was observed 80m down hole in several drill chips from a single step-out RC hole positioned adjacent to Harden’s historically-mined ore body.
