Legacy Minerals (ASX:LGM) has received results from the artificial intelligence (AI) targeting program at the Mt Carrington Project in New South Wales that used Vrify’s DORA platform across the company’s database of geological, geochemical, and geophysical information.
Three separate models were applied, focusing on gold, silver, and copper mineralisation pathfinders and resulting in 38 priority targets across the project.
The modelling confirmed previously recognised areas of interest, including Emu, Battery, and Mascotte. It also highlighted extensional trends and generated new, ranked targets across the project.
The AI tool identified six main target clusters, with Omega, Zi, Mars, and Callisto being semi-coincident with Battery, Emu, and Mascotte. Additional targets defined extensions in a north and northeast orientation from Mt Carrington and White Rock.
The study also identified brownfields extension targets at Mt Carrington and White Rock, highlighting additional targets for resource extension beyond the existing 115-million-ounce silver equivalent mineral resource.
Managing Director Christopher Byrne says that the AI study has helped Legacy Minerals to bring together its historical data “in a disciplined way to help us rank where the next phase of value may emerge, both around known deposits and in areas that have seen limited effective follow-up”.
“The strongest outcome is the definition of 38 priority targets across the district, including brownfields targets near Mt Carrington and White Rock that may support extensions to known mineralisation, as well as regional targets such as Omega, Zi, Mars, and Callisto that add to the discovery drilling pipeline,” Byrne says.
“Importantly, these targeting outputs help us to prioritise work programs, refine drill planning, and allocate exploration capital more effectively.
“With Mascotte assays pending, Emu Prospect drilling about to commence, and further approvals and site preparation for follow-up drilling at Mascotte, we see a strong pipeline of near-term catalysts at Mt Carrington.”
Legacy’s next phase of work will focus on refining these new regional targets while also assessing the brownfields targets for drill ranking and testing.
The company is preparing for follow-up drilling at Mascotte, pending the remaining assay results from the previous campaign.
