Legend Mining Limited (Legend) today announced an expansion of the West Pilbara VTEM (Versatile Time-Domain Electro Magnetic) survey by 25% to 173km2 to take advantage of new discovery opportunities in areas interpreted to be prospective for copper-zinc and nickel-copper deposits.

"The expanded survey will take advantage of this new ore-finding technology to facilitate the fast-tracking of new discoveries" Managing Director, Mark Wilson explained.

Legend's Pilbara land position and the planned survey areas are shown on the attached figure (Figure 1). The survey will take approximately 14 days to complete and preliminary results are expected in mid-December.

Legend has also implemented a strategy to expedite the grant of its Pilbara exploration licences and will commence fieldwork, including the drill testing of electromagnetic (VTEM) anomalies, upon the grant of title.
