CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Dear Shareholder,

During the course of 2006, your Directors made considerable progress to restructure the Company's finances, to simplify and strengthen its balance sheet and to assemble a first class exploration and corporate management team. In July 2006 Legend's major shareholder Mr Mark Creasy (per Yandal Investments Pty Ltd), converted his secured convertible note and exercised the resultant options, thereby raising \$5 million. As part of this refinancing, Legend completed an underwritten 1-for-3 rights issue to raise \$6.12 million, which together with the \$5 million from the Yandal options being exercised, raised a total of \$11.12 million.

In addition, in December 2006 Legend completed a \$5 million placement to sophisticated and professional investors.

At Gidgee, Legend's technical team turned its focus from near mine to the exploration of the broader Gidgee tenement holdings, which cover approximately 2,850km2 of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt. Of particular interest was the relatively untested Western Trend where a total of 45,000 metres of drilling was completed.

At Mt Gibson, Legend completed an eight hole diamond drilling program. This was the first dedicated assessment of the base metal potential at Mt Gibson which has resulted in a robust predictive geological model.

At year end, Legend had combined mineral resources of over 1 million ounces of gold, albeit uneconomic at current gold prices. It does however provide considerable leverage to both exploration success and/or further increases in the gold price.

In the Pilbara, Legend completed its first VTEM survey over 25% of its land holdings with six anomalies (base metals targets) being delineated. Follow up exploration work, including a second VTEM survey and a drilling program, is planned for 2007.

Legend now faces a solid, well funded future, with a new well credentialed management team, and with significant tenement holdings at each of its three major projects. In addition, there are production facilities and infrastructure under care and maintenance at Gidgee and Mt Gibson.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Legend Board and staff for their hard work during 2006 and look forward to their continued support in 2007.

Utu/Athrus

Chairman 16th March 2007

PROJECTS AND PRINCIPAL EXPLORATION TARGET TYPES (METAL GROUPS)

Legend Mining Limited (Legend) owns and operates three major mineral exploration projects in Western Australia (Figure 1), two of which have substantial, wholly-owned mining infrastructure (mill, crusher, accommodation units, airstrip).

PILBARA PROJECT

Legend's Pilbara Project area lies between 7km and 50km south of Karratha in the northwest of Western Australia (Figure 1). The company holds exploration rights through granted tenements, tenement applications and joint venture agreements over 724km2 of land in the emerging West Pilbara base metal district. A breakdown of land equity interests is tabulated below:-

PILBARA PROJECT EQUITY INTERESTS AREA (km 2 )
Legend $(100%)$ 565
Radio Hill Joint Venture: Legend earning 70% from Australian Nickel Mines NL 141
Munni Munni Joint Venture: East Coast Minerals NL 69.88% - Legend 30.12% 18
TOTAL 724

Legend consolidated its exploration land position in the Pilbara during most of 2006 and on the 5 October 2006 announced the recommencement of active field programs. An airborne Versatile Time-Domain Electro-Magnetic (VTEM) survey was flown over an area of approximately 180km2, which led to the delineation of six new base metal targets. The location of these targets is shown on Figure 2 and a brief description of each is tabulated below:-

TARGET BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Bushmill Discrete VTEM anomaly in an area of thin soil cover on the sheared western margin of the Maitland
Complex. Anomaly may represent a nickel-copper sulphide deposit within 100m of surface.
Roundstone Discrete VTEM anomaly in an area of thin alluvium cover on the northern margin of the Maitland
Complex near the intersection of east-trending and northeast-trending mafic dykes. Anomaly may
represent a nickel-copper sulphide deposit within 100m of surface.
Wexford & Two discrete VTEM anomalies 500m apart located near the lower contact of the Dingo Complex.
Banagher Historical exploration conducted in 1971 in the general area identified gossans (oxidised sulphide)
that assayed up to 0.39% nickel and 0.37% copper. Anomaly may represent nickel-copper
sulphide deposits within 100m of surface.
Cavan Located 1.5km west of the known limits of the Dingo Complex, this broad VTEM anomaly is
located in an area of alluvium cover and coincides with the interpreted position of a major shear.
The magnetic anomaly at the same location could reflect a buried intrusive complex. The source
of this anomaly is interpreted to be deeper than 150m below surface.
Castlebar VTEM anomaly located 2km west of the Ruth Well nickel-copper deposit. Historical exploration
conducted in 1998 reported surface samples containing up to 5.8% copper, 600m to the north
of the centre of the VTEM anomaly. Anomaly may represent either a copper or nickel-copper
sulphide deposit within 100m of surface.

Legend is currently working to expedite the grant of exploration licences and plans to conduct follow-up ground Electromagnetic Surveys over each target in early 2007. Drilling is scheduled to commence in the second Quarter 2007 subject to the grant of exploration title. A second VTEM survey (VTEM-2) has also been scheduled for early 2007.

GIDGEE PROJECT

The Gidgee Project area is located 640km northeast of Perth, Western Australia (Figure 1) and comprises a consolidated land holding of 2.850km2 that covers approximately 80% of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt.

Over 1.3 million ounces of gold has been produced from the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt, which remains one of the most productive gold districts of the Southern Cross Province. Rocks of the Southern Cross Province are also prospective for nickel although very little nickel exploration has ever been conducted in the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt

The Gidgee Project area is centred around the 650,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) Gidgee mill, which is currently on care and maintenance. At the end of 2005 it became apparent that the gold resource of 2.58 million tonnes (Mt) grading 5.91 grams per tonne (g/t) would not convert into reserve at the prevailing gold price. Therefore, the principal exploration strategy in 2006 became the search for, and discovery of a new oxide gold deposit that could underpin the recommissioning of the Gidgee mill. The goal was to make a discovery that had the potential to deliver a reserve life of greater than three years.

Exploration in 2006 focussed on the Castor, Helios and North Splay target areas located in the northwest of the project area (Figure 3) on land acquired through the acquisition of Gidgee Resources Limited in November 2004. The aim of this exploration was to delineate new gold systems using rapid reconnaissance exploration drilling. Drilling statistics for the 85km2 covered by this program are tabulated below:-

Drilling Statistics - 2006

TYPE NO. OF HOLES TOTAL METRES AVERAGE DEPTH HOLE DENSITY
Aircore 802 45,887 57m $-20$ per km $^2$
$\epsilon$

The results from this drilling program were generally disappointing, although a number of zones of low-order gold anomalism were identified. No follow-up of these anomalies is planned at this stage as any new gold resource in this area is unlikely to have a positive impact on the recommissioning of the Gidgee mill.

Other priority target areas (e.g. Victory Splay, Figure 3) could not be accessed in 2006 while the tenements remained in application. Grant of this additional exploration title is expected in the first half of 2007.

Legend is absolutely committed to a disciplined approach to gold exploration in the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt and will only follow-up gold anomalies that have a reasonable probability of delivering gold resource that may convert into reserve at the prevailing gold price.

In 2007, gold exploration is planned to move into new target areas (e.g. Victory Splay) closer to the Gidgee mill, subject to the grant of exploration licences.

Work has also commenced on unlocking value from the nickel potential.

MT GIBSON

The Mt Gibson project is located 290km northeast of Perth in Western Australia (Figure 1), and was acquired from Orova Mining Limited in November 2005, principally to pursue the untested volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposit potential (VHMS, predominant metals include zinc-copper-gold) beneath the oxide gold pits.

The Mt Gibson project is situated 100km south of the world-class Golden Grove VHMS deposit owned by Oxiana Limited, and in common with Golden Grove, falls within the Yalgoo-Singleton Greenstone Belt in the southern Murchison Province.

Mt Gibson operated for 12 years as a gold mine from 1986 following the discovery of gold in surface laterite. The operation produced 870,000 ounces of gold from 16.5Mt of ore at an average grade of 1.68g/t. Legend, through a study conducted by Dr S Carras of Carras Mining Pty Ltd, estimated the residual gold Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) to be 8.7Mt at 1.98g/t gold for 559,000 ounces. This Mineral Resource does not convert into Mineral Reserve at the prevailing gold price and the operation remains on care and maintenance.

Base Metals

Legend conducted an eight hole diamond drilling program in 2006, which represented the first dedicated assessment of the base metal potential beneath the plus 5km long near-surface zinc anomaly broadly coincident with the main line of open pits. This plus 500ppm zinc anomaly had been defined by approximately 7.000 shallow holes drilled to evaluate the near-surface laterite gold deposit. Importantly, prior to the work by Legend, only 21 holes had ever been drilled deeper than 300m vertically beneath the zinc anomaly, and these were designed to test gold targets. Of the holes that were drilled, Barrick hole BGRCD-009 drilled in early 2004, returned 4m at 13.4% Zn from 775m to 779m.

Legend's 2006 drilling results support the premise that Mt Gibson represents a large, fertile VHMS mineral system with potential to host a base metal orebody. The predictive geological model developed from this drilling has led to the identification of important trends (vectors) to new opportunities within this large base metal system. All eight holes contain visible zinc sulphide, principally associated with sedimentary units lavered within the volcanic sequence. Significant zinc intercepts and an overview of the interpreted geology is presented in Figure 5. Drilling statistics are tabulated below:-

Hornet Target Zone: This target zone (Figures 4 & 5) is interpreted to represent a robust discovery opportunity due to the presence of boron-rich exhalite (rock type known to be associated with several major base metal deposits) and elevated zinc geochemistry which are interpreted to be located on or near a basin margin fault. Follow-up drilling is scheduled in 2007.

Atlanta Target Zone: This target zone (Figure 4) is more conceptual in nature and is interpreted to represent another basin-margin structure - a geological setting similar to Hornet, although drilling is required to develop and confirm aspects of the predictive model.

Gold

During the course of the deep drilling for base metals, a number of plus 6q/t gold intercepts were identified (Table 1) associated with the following vein types:-

Type 1: steep-dipping veins, also anomalous in lead and zinc, and aligned with the principal shear fabric, which are interpreted to reflect remobilized syngenetic mineralization.

Type 2: relatively flat-lying to shallow dipping veins that are not anomalous in copper, lead or zinc, which are interpreted to represent a later, overprinting gold event.

The wide-separation of adjoining holes and the relatively narrow widths of most veins makes it difficult to develop a vein array model. However, a program to drill test the relatively flat-lying, high-grade, gold-bearing quartz veins as a possible underground mining opportunity is being considered.

REVIEW OF 2006 MINERAL PRODUCTION

GIDGEE

The Mill remained on care and maintenance for the entire period and no ore was mined or processed. Residual gold was recovered from the processing circuit and Legend's portion (552 ounces) was sold for \$449,752.

MT GIBSON

The Mill remained on care and maintenance for the entire period and no ore was mined or processed.

STATEMENT OF RESOURCES

SUMMARY

The Mineral Resource inventory has been reviewed by Dr S Carras of Carras Mining Pty Ltd, an acknowledged expert in this field.

In 2006, the Mineral Resource inventory was downgraded by 20,500 ounces (2%) compared to the estimate at the 31 December 2005. This was principally due to a reassessment of the Gidgee Mineral Resource which took into account the following:-

  • reinterpretation of the shape of the Premium lode $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$
  • re-estimation of costs and underground mining method. ä.

A summary of the total Mineral Resource inventory at the 31 December 2006 is tabulated below:-

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES

Rights Issue and Refinancing

Resolutions concerning a new capital raising, comprising a 1-for-3 non-renouncable rights issue and a debt-forequity swap to raise a combined total of \$11.12 million, were approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in Perth on 30th May 2006. The debt-for-equity swap involved the early conversion of the convertible note held by Mr Mark Creasy's Yandal Investments Pty Ltd (Yandal) and the immediate exercise of 125 million options issued to Yandal as a result of the conversion. In addition and as approved by shareholders, Yandal was granted 125,000,000 early conversion options as consideration for the early exercise of the convertible note options. At Yandai's request 25,000,000 of these early conversion options were issued to Messrs Ryan, Wilson and Perring (see item 4 below). The fully underwritten rights issue Prospectus dated 6 June 2006 closed on 7 July 2006. Legend completed this rights issue to raise \$6.12 million on 20 July 2006. The following securities were issued pursuant to this fund raising:

  • 125,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares, resulting from the conversion by Yandal of the \$5,000,000 $\mathbf{1}$ . Convertible Note.
  • 125,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares, resulting from the exercise of options attaching to the $\overline{2}$ . convertible note at an exercise price of 4 cents and an expiry date of 31st May 2009, being exercised on the 20th July 2006.
  • 100,000,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of 4 cents and an expiry date of 31st July 3. 2008 to Yandal.
  • 25,000,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of 4 cents and an expiry date of 31st July 4. 2008 to Messrs Ryan (15,000,000 options), Wilson (5,000,000 options) and Perring(5,000,000 options), directors of the Company.
    1. 152,886,107 fully paid ordinary shares at 4 cents.
  • 152,886,107 listed options with an exercise price of 4 cents and an expiry date of 31st July 6. 2008.
  • 7,500,000 unlisted options, with an exercise price of 4 cents and an expiry date of 31st July 2008 7. to Findlay & Co Stockbrokers.

Repayment of Debt to Yandal

In July 2006, following completion of the rights issue and refinancing, Legend repaid to Yandal \$3,000,000 and all outstanding interest. As a consequence of this repayment, all mortgages and security held by Yandal over the assets of the Company were withdrawn and discharged.

Placement

In December 2006 Legend completed a \$5 million placement to sophisticated and professional investors. The following securities were issued:

62,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at 8 cents each.

Legend is committed to implementing and maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those standards should involve, Legend has turned to the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. Legend is pleased to advise that its practices are largely consistent with those of the ASX quidelines. Where Legend did not have certain policies or committees recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in place for the entire reporting period, we have identified when such policies or committees were introduced. Where Legend has not adopted the relevant recommendation, the reasons are set out below.

$\mathbf{1}$ BOARD OF DIRECTORS

$1.1$ Role of Board

The Legend Board of Directors (the Board) is responsible for setting the strategic direction and establishing and overseeing the policies and financial position of Legend, and monitoring the business and affairs on behalf of its shareholders, by whom the Directors are elected and to whom they are accountable.

Further, the Board takes specific responsibility for:-

  • the appointment and removal of the Managing Director and the Company Secretary,
  • the final approval of management's development of corporate strategies and performance obiectives.
  • the review and modification of internal controls with respect to internal and legal compliance and its code of conduct.
  • monitoring and evaluating senior management's performance and the implementation of Legend's corporate strategies and objectives,
  • ensuring that appropriate resources are available to achieve strategic objectives.
  • the appointment of Directors to the Board and ensuring those Directors receive a letter of appointment identifying their duties and specific responsibilities. Legend's expectations of them. their remuneration and their obligations with respect to advising Legend of any compliance matters

The Board is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of Legend including the strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

On 26 October 2006 Legend established a formal Board Charter as per Recommendation 1.1. In broad terms, the Board is accountable to the shareholders and must ensure that Legend is properly managed to protect and enhance shareholders' wealth and other interests. The Board Charter sets out the role and responsibilities of the Board of Legend within the governance structure of Legend and its related bodies corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act).

Terms of Office of Directors $1.2$

The constitution of Legend Mining Limited specifies that 1/3 of the Directors, excluding the Managing Director, shall rotate on an annual basis.

$1.3$ Composition of the Board

The Directors of Legend in office at the date of this statement are:-

Name Position Expertise
'Michael Atkins Non Executive Chairman Commercial
Mark Wilson Managing Director Commercial and Mining
Robert Perring Executive Director - Technical Exploration and Mining
Dermot Ryan Non Executive Director Exploration and Mining

The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles:-

  • the Board comprises four (4) Directors and may be increased where it is felt that additional expertise is required in specific areas, or when an outstanding candidate is identified, and
  • the Board should comprise Directors with a broad range of expertise.

The Board reviews its composition on an annual basis to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience. When a vacancy exists, for whatever reason, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new Director with particular skills, the Board selects a panel of candidates with the appropriate expertise and experience. Potential candidates are identified by the Board with advice from an external consultant, if necessary. The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at a General Meeting of Shareholders.

$1.4$ Responsibilities of the Board

In general, the Board is responsible for, and has authority to determine all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of Legend.

In general, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following:-

Leadership of the Organisation: Overseeing the Company and establishing codes that reflect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board, management and employees,

Strategy Formulation: working with senior management to set and review the overall strategy and goals for the Company and ensure that there are policies in place to govern the operation of the Company,

Overseeing Planning Activities: overseeing the development of the Company's strategic plan and approving that plan as well as the annual and long term budgets.

Shareholder Liaison: ensuring effective communication with shareholders through an appropriate communications policy and promoting participation at general meetings of the Company.

$1.4$ Responsibilities of the Board (contd)

Monitoring, Compliance and Risk Management: overseeing the Company's risk management. compliance and accountability systems and monitoring and directing the financial and operational performance of the Company.

Company Finances: approving expenses in excess of those approved in the annual budget and approving and monitoring acquisitions, divestitures and financial and other reporting.

Human Resources: appointing, and where appropriate, removing the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as well as reviewing the performance of the MD and monitoring the performance of senior management in their implementation of the Company's strategy,

Ensuring the Health, Safety and Well-Being of Employees: developing a policy, and in conjunction with the senior management team, developing, overseeing and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company's occupational health and safety systems to ensure the well-being of all employees,

Delegation of Authority: delegating appropriate powers to the MD to ensure the effective day-to-day management of the Company.

Environmental Management: developing a policy, and in conjunction with the senior management team, developing, overseeing and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company's environmental management systems.

$1.5$ Monitoring of Board Performance

The performance of all Directors is reviewed by the Chairman on an ongoing basis and any Director whose performance is considered unsatisfactory is asked to retire. The Chairman's performance is reviewed by the other Board members.

Legend has established firm guidelines to identify the measurable and qualitative indicators of the Director's performance during the course of the year. Those quidelines include:

  • attendance at all Board meetings. Missing more than three consecutive meetings without reasonable excuse will result in that Director's position being reviewed,
  • attendance at Legend's Shareholder Meetings. Non-attendance without reasonable excuse will result in that Director's position being reviewed.

Legend does not comply with Recommendation 2.1 which states the majority of Directors should be independent directors. Mr Atkins is the only Director considered independent and acts as Chairman of the Company, as required under Recommendation 2.2.

$1.6$ Independent Professional Advice

Each Director has the right, in connection with his/her duties and responsibilities as a Director, to seek independent professional advice at Legend's expense. However, prior approval of the Chairman is required, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

$2.$ BOARD COMMITTEES

$2.1$ Nomination Committee

A separate nomination committee has not been formed as required under Recommendation 2.4 as the Board considers the selection and appointment of Directors should be the responsibility of the full Board and that no benefits or efficiencies are to be gained by delegating this function to a separate committee

Audit Committee $2.2^{\circ}$

Due to its size and composition, the Board has not established a separate audit committee as requested by Recommendation 4.2. However, the external auditor has full access to the Board throughout the year.

The responsibilities of the Board ordinarily include:-

  • reviewing internal control and recommending enhancements,
  • monitoring compliance with Corporations Act 2001, Stock Exchange Listing Rules, matters outstanding with auditors, Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investment Commission and financial institutions,
  • improving the quality of the accounting function.
  • reviewing external audit reports to ensure that where major deficiencies or breakdowns in controls or procedures have been identified, appropriate and prompt remedial action is taken by management, and
  • liaising with the external auditors and ensuring that the annual audit and half-year review are conducted in an effective manner.

The Board reviews the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and nomination of auditors is at the discretion of the Board.

$2.3$ Remuneration Committee

Due to the relatively small size of Legend, remuneration is considered by the full Board. This does not comply with Recommendation 9.2. The Board reviews remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Managing Director and Directors. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced Directors and Senior Executives. The Board obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages.

An approved Employee Share Option Plan (excludes Directors) is in place to enable the Board to grant share options as an incentive for superior performance to eligible employees.

A full disclosure of the Company's remuneration philosophy and framework and the remuneration received by Directors and Executives in the current period are set out in the remuneration report, which is contained within the Directors' Report.

Overall Director Remuneration: Shareholders must approve the framework for any equity schemes if a Director is recommended for being able to participate in such a scheme.

Non-Executive Remuneration: Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved for Non-Executive Directors is currently \$200,000.

$3.$ BUSINESS RISKS

Significant areas of concern are discussed at Board level. When appropriate, experts are invited to address Board meetings on the major risks facing the consolidated entity and to develop strategies to mitigate those risks.

4. ETHICAL STANDARDS

On 26 October 2006 Legend introduced a formal Code of Conduct as per Recommendation 3.1. This code outlines how Legend expects directors and employees of Legend and its related bodies corporate to behave and conduct business in the workplace on a range of issues. Legend is committed to the highest level of integrity and ethical standards in all business practices. Directors and employees must conduct themselves in a manner consistent with current community and corporate standards and in compliance with all legislation. In addition, the Board subscribes to the Statement of Ethical Standards as published by the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

All Directors and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Company.

DIRECTORS' DEALINGS IN COMPANY SHARES $5.$

On 26 October 2006 Legend introduced a formal trading policy as required by Recommendation 3.2 entitled: Guidelines for Dealing in Securities. This policy applies to directors, employees and contractors of Legend.

In addition, directors must notify the Australian Stock Exchange Limited of any acquisition or disposal of shares by lodgement of a Notice of Director's Interests. Board policy is to prohibit Directors from dealing in shares of the Company whilst in possession of price sensitive information.

CORPORATE REPORTING 6.

On submission of a set of the Company financial reports for review by the Board, senior management confirms that to the best of their knowledge and ability the financial reports present a true and fair view in all material aspects of the Company's financial condition and that operational results are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

Further, the statement made by senior management regarding the integrity of the financial statements also includes a statement regarding risk management and internal compliance and control which influence the policies adopted by the Board.

$\overline{7}$ . CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE AND SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION

On 26 October 2006 Legend introduced a formal Continuous Disclosure and Information Policy as required by Recommendation 6.1. This policy was introduced to ensure Legend achieves best practice in complying with its continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules and ensuring Legend and individual officers do not contravene the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rules

The Board of Legend aims to ensure that the shareholders, on behalf of whom they act, are informed of all information necessary to assess the performance of the Directors. Information is communicated to shareholders through:-

  • the Annual Report which is distributed to all shareholders.
  • Half-Yearly Reports, Quarterly Reports, and all Australian Stock Exchange announcements which are posted on Legend's website,
  • the Annual General Meeting and other meetings so called to obtain approval for Board action as appropriate,
  • compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Australian Stock Exchange Listing Rules.

Legend's auditor is required to be present, and be available to shareholders, at the Annual General Meeting.

8. RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Risk oversight, management and internal control are dealt with on a continuous basis by management and the Board, with differing degrees of involvement from various Directors and management, depending upon the nature and materiality of the matter.

The Board has no formal policy in place to recognise and manage risk as required by Recommendation 7.1, as it considers, in the context of the size and nature of the Company, that it would not improve the present modus operandi.

$9.$ ENCOURAGE ENHANCED PERFORMANCE

Board and management effectiveness are dealt with on a continuous basis by management and the Board, with differing degrees of involvement from various Directors and management, depending upon the nature of the matter.

The Board has no formal policy in place to encourage enhanced performance as required by Recommendation 8.1, as it considers, in the context of the size and nature of the Company, that it would not improve the present modus operandi.

$10.$ RECOGNISE THE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS OF STAKEHOLDERS

On 26 October 2006 Legend introduced a formal Privacy Policy. Legend is committed to respecting the privacy of stakeholders' personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out Legend's personal information management practices and covers the application of privacy laws, personal information collection, the use and disclosure of personal information, accessing and updating stakeholders' information and the Security of stakeholders' information.

Other than the introduction of a formal Privacy Policy, the Board has not adopted any additional formal codes of conduct to guide compliance with legal and other obligations to legitimate stakeholders as required by Recommendation 10.1, as it considers, in the context of the size and nature of the Company, that it would not improve the present modus operandi.

The Directors submit their report for the year ended 31 December 2006.

$13.$ REMUNERATION REPORT

The compensation arrangements in place for key management personnel of Legend are set out below:

Compensation Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

The Company embodies the following principle in its compensation framework:-

Provide competitive rewards to attract high-calibre executives.

Remuneration Committee

Due to the size of Legend, remuneration is considered by the full Board. The Board reviews remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Directors and Senior Executives. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced Directors and Senior Executives. The Board obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages.

Compensation Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non Executive Director and senior manager remuneration is separate and distinct.

Objective of Non Executive Director Compensation

The Board seeks to set aggregate compensation at a level that provides the company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure of Non Executive Director Compensation

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 May 2006 when shareholders approved the aggregate remuneration of \$200,000 per year.

The amount of aggregate compensation sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

During the year Legend issued 15 million options with a value of \$300,000, to Dermot Ryan, a non executive director. This allocation was individually approved by shareholders as the distribution took place outside the Employee Share Option Plan. Please refer to the Compensation Report below for further details.

REMUNERATION REPORT (CONTD) 13.

Objective of Senior Management and Executive Director Compensation

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:-

  • reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks,
  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders, and
  • ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards.

Structure of Senior Management and Executive Director Compensation

In determining the level and make-up of executive compensation, the Board engages external consultants to provide independent advice.

It is the Board's policy that an employment contract is entered into with key executives.

Compensation consists of a fixed compensation element and the issue of options from time to time at the directors' discretion under the Employee Share Option Plan. Any issue of options to directors under the Employee Share Option Plan requires prior shareholder approval.

During the year Legend issued 5 million options with a value of \$100,000, to each of the executive directors. This allocation was individually approved by shareholders as the distribution took place outside the Employee Share Option Plan. Please refer to the Compensation Report below for further details.

Fixed Compensation

Fixed compensation is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative compensation in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Structure

Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) compensation in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

Employment contracts

The Managing Director, Mr Mark Wilson, is employed under contract. The current employment contract commenced on the 1 July 2006 and terminates on the 30 June 2007, at which time the Company may choose to commence negotiations to enter into a new employment contract.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

$(c)$ Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation $(i)$

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Legend Mining Limited and its subsidiaries ('the Group').

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

(ii) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimate and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adiustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using a binomial formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which the determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.

Provision for Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation costs are a normal consequence of mining, and the majority of this expenditure is incurred at the end of a mine's life. In determining an appropriate level of provision consideration is given to the expected future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine), and the estimated level of inflation.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

The ultimate costs of rehabilitation is uncertain and cost can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirement, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other mine sites. The expected timing of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in reserves.

Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required. which would in turn impact future financial results.

Property, plant and equipment $(iii)$

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the useful life of the asset from the time the asset is held ready for use.

Production assets are not depreciated during periods where mining activity is placed on a care and maintenance basis.

The depreciation rates used for each class are:

Buildings 10%
Plant and equipment $7.5\% \cdot 50\%$
Leased plant and equipment 22.5%

Impairment

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If any indication of impairment exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amounts.

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Derecognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in the period the item is derecognised.

(iv) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

Cash and cash equivalents $(v)$

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

$(vi)$ Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Jess an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect the debt.

(vii) Investments

All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment.

After initial recognition, investments in controlled entities are measured at cost.

Impairment

If there is objective evidence that an investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised is recognised in the income statement.

(viii) Inventories

Stores

Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is assigned on a weighted average basis.

Deferred exploration costs (ix)

Deferred exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is stated at cost and is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest.

Mining information is stated at cost.

Such costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest (or alternatively by its sale), or where activities in the area have not vet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active operations are continuing.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off to the income statement in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

Impairment

The carrying values of exploration and evaluation costs are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation costs is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the fair value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against the income statement in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Each area of interest is limited to the size related to known or probable mineral resources capable of supporting a mining operation.

$(x)$ Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

$(1)$ Rehabilitation provision

Long-term environmental obligations are based on the Group's environmental management plans, in compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Full provision is made, based on the net present value of the estimated cost of restoring the environmental disturbance that has occurred up to the balance sheet date. Increases due to additional environmental disturbances are capitalised and amortised over the remaining lives of the mines. These increases are accounted for on a net present value basis.

Annual increases in the provision relating to the change in the net present value of the provision are accounted for in earnings.

The estimated costs of rehabilitation are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in legislation, technology and other circumstances. Cost estimates are not reduced by the potential proceeds from the sale of assets or from plant clean-up at closure.

(xi) Revenue

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Rental Income

Rental income is accounted for on a straight line basis over the lease term.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(xii) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax law used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries. associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(xiii) Other taxes

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except;

  • where the amount of the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
  • Receivables and pavables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the Balance Sheet.

Cashflows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cashflows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the ATO are classed as operating cashflows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(xiv) Recoverable amounts of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(xv) Trade and or other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial vear that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.

(xvi) Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.

(xvii) Share based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group and to the providers of services to the Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees or service providers render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions').

There are currently three scenarios in place to provide these services:

  • $(a)$ 'Employees Share Option Plan', which provides benefits to eligible persons;
  • Capital raising costs, which provide payment to stockbrokers and finance institutions for capital $(b)$ raising services and commissions; and
  • Other grants of options to directors on an ad hoc basis. $\left( c\right)$

The cost of the equity-settled transactions with stockbrokers and finance institutions is measured by reference to the fair value of the service received at the date they are granted.

For transactions with employees (including directors), the cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the options provided. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employee becomes fully entitled to the award ('vesting date').

In valuing these equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Legend Mining Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

The cumulative expense recognised for these equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expenses recognised as at the beginning and end of the period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not vet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award. as described in the previous paragraph.

For transactions with other service providers, the cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the value of the services provided. The cost of these equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, at the time the services are provided unless they are transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares, in which case the transaction costs are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds received on the issue of shares.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see note 5)

(xviii) Interest-bearing convertible notes

On the issue of the convertible note, the fair value of the liability component is determined by calculating the present value of the capital and interest stream using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specified in convertible note.

As the contingent settlement provisions allow for the holder to call for the face value if the default event occurs, the entire instrument has been classified as debt and there is no equity component.

Issue costs on the convertible notes have been expensed as incurred.

(xix) Contributed Equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs net of tax arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds received.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

(xx) Emplovee Benefits

Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employee services up to the reporting date. These employee benefits include wages, salaries, annual leave and include related oncosts such as superannuation and payroll tax.

Provision for annual leave together with the associated employment on-costs are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

No provision is made for non-vesting sick leave, as the anticipated pattern of future sick leave taken indicates that accumulated non vesting sick leave will never be paid.

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels. experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflow.

Contributions to employee superannuation funds of choice are expensed as incurred.

(xxi) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted EPS is calculated as net loss attributable to members, adjusted for:

  • Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends); $\left( i\right)$
  • $(ii)$ The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with the dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
  • Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would $(iii)$ result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(xxii) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, and cash and short-term deposits.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group's operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arise from the Group's financial instruments are fair value interest rate risks, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition. the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed elsewhere in note 2 to the financial statements.

Fair value interest risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of change in the fair value of its loans and borrowings relates primarily to the Group's debt obligations with a fixed interest rate. The Group's policy is to manage this risk using a mixture of long and short term debt, and equity.

Foreian currency risk

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.

Commodity price risk

The Group's exposure to price risk is minimal.

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Since the Group only trades with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

Liquidity risk

The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of a mixture of long and short term debt.

(xxiii) Interest in a jointly controlled operation

The Group has an interest in a joint venture that is a jointly controlled operation. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment of a separate entity. The Group recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operation by recognising its interest in the assets and the liabilities of the joint venture. The Group also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the jointly controlled operation.

NOTE 6: INCOME TAX (CONTD)

Tax Consolidation

Legend Mining Limited and its 100% owner Australian resident subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2004. Legend Mining Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing agreement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. In addition, the agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At the balance date, the possibility of default is remote.

Tax effect accounting by member of the tax consolidated group

Tax expense / income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax consolidated group using the group allocation method. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax consolidated group).

Members of the tax consolidated group have not entered into a tax funding agreement. As a result, the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, assumed by the Company, are recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants. Tax losses assumed by the Company during the year were \$1,158,162.

NOTE 7: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in one business and geographical segment, being the mining and exploration for gold and base metals (zinc-copper) in Australia.

Note:

  • As part of the continuing tenement rationalisation, Legend Mining Limited lodged new tenement $(i)$ applications over areas covered by Gidgee Resources Limited tenement application. Expenditure allocated to these Gidgee Resources Limited tenements was reassigned to the new tenement applications.
  • $(ii)$ Carrying values for certain tenements were reviewed and subject to the following conditions being met:
  • no substantive expenditure for further exploration in the specific areas has been budgeted for; $(1)$
  • exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area has not led to the discovery $(2)$ of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources;
  • it was decided to discontinue such activities in the specific areas; $(3)$

it was decided to write off the carrying values (\$3,732,296) of the affected tenements.

$(iii)$ The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Compensation of key management personnel. $(b)$

$(i)$ Compensation policy

The compensation arrangements in place for Directors and Executives of Legend are set out below:

Compensation Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.

The Company embodies the following principle in its remuneration framework:

Provide competitive rewards to attract high caliber executives.

Remuneration Committee

Due to the size of Legend, remuneration is considered by the full Board. The Board reviews remuneration packages and policies applicable to the Directors and Senior Executives. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced Directors and Senior Executives. The Board obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages.

Compensation Structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non Executive Director and senior manager compensation is separate and distinct.

Objective of Non Executive Director Compensation

The Board seeks to set aggregate compensation at a level that provides the company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

NOTE 20: COMPENSATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (CONTD)

Structure of Non Executive Director Compensation

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 May 2006 when shareholders approved the aggregate remuneration of \$200,000 per year.

The amount of aggregate compensation sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

During the year Legend issued 15 million options with a value of \$300,000, to Dermot Ryan, a non executive director. This allocation was individually approved by shareholders as the distribution took place outside the Employee Share Option Plan. Please refer to the Compensation Report below for further details.

Objective of Senior Management and Executive Director Compensation

The company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:-

  • reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks,
  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders, and
  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure of Senior Management and Executive Director Compensation

In determining the level and make-up of executive compensation, the Board engages external consultants to provide independent advice.

It is the Board's policy that an employment contract is entered into with key executives.

Compensation consists of a fixed compensation element and the issue of options from time to time at the directors' discretion under the Employee Share Option Plan. Any issue of options to directors under the Employee Share Option Plan requires prior shareholder approval.

During the year Legend issued 5 million options with a value of \$100,000, to each of the executive directors. This allocation was individually approved by shareholders as the distribution took place outside the Employee Share Option Plan. Please refer to the Compensation Report below for further details.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Structure

Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

NOTE 20: COMPENSATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (CONTD)

Employment contracts

$(b)$ Types of share-based payment plans Employee Share Option Plan, 'ESOP'

Share options are granted to Eligible Persons with more than 6 months' service. Eligible Persons are determined by the Board after taking into account the following considerations:

  • the seniority of the Eligible Person and the position the Eligible Person occupies within the $\left(\mathbf{i}\right)$ Group:
  • the length of service of the Eligible Person with the Group; $(ii)$
  • $(iii)$ the record of employment of the Eligible Person with the Group;
  • the contractual history of the Eligible Person with the Group; $(iv)$
  • $(v)$ the potential contribution of the Eligible Person to the growth of the Group;
  • the extent (if any) of the existing participation of the Eligible Person in the Plan; and $(vi)$
  • $(vii)$ any other matters which the Board considers relevant.

The ESOP is designed to align participants' interests with those of shareholders by increasing the value of the Company's shares. Under the ESOP, the exercise price of the options is set "at least 80% of the average closing sale price of the Shares on ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the day of issue of Options by the Board" as per the terms stated in the ESOP.

NOTE 21: SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS (CONTD)

Options may be exercised at any time during the period commencing 12 months after the Issue Date and ending on the Expiry.

When an Eligible Person ceases employment prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date otherwise than to take up employment with an Associate Company, or ceases to be an Eligible Person on account of Retirement, Permanent Disability, Redundancy or death, the share options automatically lapse and are forfeited

When an Eligible Person ceases employment after the first anniversary of the Issue Date and prior to the Expiry Date otherwise than to take up employment with an Associate Company, or ceases to be an Eligible Person on account of Retirement, Permanent Disability, Redundancy or death, the share options automatically lapse and are forfeited if the Eligible Person fails to exercise any or all of the options within a period of three months from the date of cessation of employment.

Expense Share Option Plan, 'ExSOP'

Share options were granted during the financial year, as opposed to cash for payment of the following expenses:

Non cash financing and investment activities

During the financial year, the consolidated entity transacted the following non cash activities:

  • Early conversion fee on convertible note was settled by the issue of 100,000,000 ordinary share $(b)$ options.
  • Director compensation costs were settled by the issue of 25,000,000 ordinary share options. $(c)$

NOTE 24: COMMITMENTS

Exploration expenditure commitments. $(a)$

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Company will be required to outlay in 2007 amounts of approximately \$3,367,880 (2006: \$3,958,516) in respect of tenement lease rentals and to meet minimum expenditure requirements of the Department of Industry & Resources. These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations and have not been provided for in the financial report.

Note: This is the maximum commitment to exploration, to fully meet DOIR requirements. In practice, Legend has routinely applied for and been granted exemptions from meeting these requirements on a tenement by tenement basis. As a result the actual amount required to be expended on exploration is expected to be significantly less than \$3.3 million, while still holding all the tenements in good standing.

Independent audit report to members of Legend Mining Limited

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for Legend Mining Limited (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 31 December 2006. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.

The directors of the company are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the company and the consolidated entity, and that complies with Accounting Standards in Australia, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot quarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia. and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • $\bullet$ examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report and the remuneration disclosures; and
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of managment's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

We performed procedures to assess whether the substance of business transactions was accurately reflected in the financial report and the remuneration disclosures. These and our other procedures did not include consideration or judgement of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by the directors and management of the company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

EU ERNST & YOUNG

Independence

We are independent of the company and the consolidated entity and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor's Independence Declaration a copy of which is included in the Directors' Report

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of Legend Mining Limited is in accordance with:
