Building a new legacy
at Mt Felstead

Legacy Minerals Ltd is turning its atten-
tion to metallurgical test work after receiv-
ing the final results from recent drilling
at the Mt Felstead prospect, part of the
company’s Bauloora silver-gold-lead-zinc
project in New South Wales.
ALS Ltd has been engaged to conduct
metallurgical test work on three holes
from the Mt Felstead campaign, with the
objective of determining the best means
of beneficiating the mineralised material
as well as the most commercial means of
recovering the contained metal’s value.
