ASX Announcement

Legend Signs Transformational Agreements with Independence Group NL and Creasy Group

  • Legend raises $9.8M @ 3.6c per share in a two tranche Subscription Agreement with Independence Group NL (IGO)

  • Legend signs a new Joint Venture Agreement with Creasy Group (Creasy) over two Fraser Range tenements contiguous with existing Rockford Project tenure

  • Legend signs two new Fraser Range Joint Venture Agreements with IGO and Creasy

Legend Mining Limited (“Legend”) is pleased to announce the signing of these transformational agreements to raise $9.8M at a 20% premium to the average share price for 2019, and to enter into three new joint ventures relating to its Rockford Project in the Fraser Range district of Western Australia (see Figure 1). Details of the agreements are discussed in the body of this announcement.

Legend Managing Director Mark Wilson said, “Securing this funding is an important outcome for Legend shareholders. It has been possible due to the new joint venture with Creasy over 709km[2] of ground which has known nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at the Octagonal prospect within the new joint venture. The added dimension to the transaction is the additional joint ventures with IGO over the northern Rockford area which will give new technical impetus to our exploration efforts. Legend welcomes IGO to our register as our second largest shareholder.”

Mark Creasy said, “These transactions demonstrate a common goal between the three parties to unlock further value in the fertile Fraser Range. I see Legend as a key player in this quest.”

Peter Bradford, CEO and MD of IGO said, “IGO is pleased to be investing in Legend Mining and its Rockford North tenements. Legend’s mineral exploration holdings in the Fraser Range are extensive and are highly prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co sulphide deposits, with numerous prospects already identified. IGO will work closely with Legend’s exploration team to drive discovery success at Rockford.”

  • Legend, IGO and Creasy entering into the “Rockford JVA 2019” over two Rockford North tenements E28/2190 and E28/2191 (see Figure 1 and details below). This agreement has been signed (condition satisfied).

  • Legend and IGO entering into the “Legend/IGO JVA 2019” over three 100% Legend owned tenements E28/2675-2677 (see Figure 1 and details below). This agreement has been signed (condition satisfied).

2. New Joint Venture Agreement with Creasy Group

Ponton JVA 2019

Legend has entered into a new JVA (“Ponton JVA 2019”) with Creasy Group over tenements E28/1716 and E28/1717 on the western margin of the Fraser Zone within the larger Albany-Fraser Orogen. The tenements cover 709km[2] over the prospective western stratigraphic package and contain two advanced Ni-Cu-Co prospects Octagonal and Magnus (see Figure 1).

The Octagonal and Magnus prospects are characterised by “oval/eye” shaped aeromagnetic features, highly favourable mafic/ultramafic intrusive host rocks and at Octagonal, multiple intersections of massive, semi-massive, net textured, stringer and disseminated pyrrhotitepentlandite-chalcopyrite sulphides (see example of massive sulphide in Photo 1). The mineralisation identified so far is discontinuous and sub-economic, however demonstrates all the characteristics of a fertile magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide system. Octagonal is now the third publically disclosed example (along with the Nova and Silver Knight deposits) of massive Ni-Cu-Co sulphide mineralisation identified to date in the Fraser Range.

Photo 1: Octagonal prospect: Intersection of massive sulphide containing pyrrhotite-pentlandite-chalcopyrite hosted in olivine bearing gabbronorite. Drillhole OCT002: 0.36m @ 0.89% Ni, 0.29% Cu, 0.12% Co from 497.07m. (NQ core) (See Appendix 1 for drillhole and assay details)

An extensive exploration dataset representing historic expenditure of $15M exists over the Octagonal and Magnus prospects and includes:

  • High resolution aeromagnetic and gravity surveys

  • Electromagnetic (EM), induced polarisation (IP) and audio magnetotelluric (AMT) surveys

  • Aircore drilling; 511 holes for 27,922m

  • RC drilling; 29 holes for 5,943m

  • Diamond drilling; 17 holes for 9,479.6m.

This data will provide valuable geological, geochemical and geophysical knowledge related to known sulphide mineralisation and will greatly assist Legend with future exploration strategies and activities across the entire Rockford Project.

Key Terms of the Ponton JVA 2019

  • Legend to acquire 70% interest in tenements E28/1716 & E28/1717 (see Figure 1) for:

  • 55.55M Legend shares at deemed price of 3.6 cents ($2M) subject to shareholder approval.

  • 277.77M Legend shares at deemed price of 3.6 cents ($10M), upon completion of Bankable Feasibility Study and Decision to Mine and subject to shareholder approval.

  • Legend to sole fund exploration and free carry Creasy’s 30% interest through to the signing of Mining Venture Agreements (following completion of Bankable Feasibility Study and Decision to Mine).

  • 2,000m diamond hole to be drilled into AMT target at Octagonal within first 12 months of Ponton JVA 2019.

  • Completion under the Ponton JVA 2019 is conditional on:

  • Legend completing the capital raising of $9.8M @ 3.6 cents per share. The Subscription Agreement has been signed and the condition will be satisfied following shareholder approval of Tranche 2 of the placement to IGO (expected October 2019).

  • Shareholder approval of the Ponton JVA 2019 and the equity consideration to be issued under section 611 of the Corporations Act 2001.
