-
$6M cash received as Tranche 1 relating to sale of Cameroon Project. Tranche 2 ($6M) due in JulyAugust 2015

OVERVIEW
This quarter has marked the completion of the sale of the Cameroon Iron Ore Project to Jindal Steel and Power. The receipt of $6M (Tranche 1) on 5 August coupled with the cessation of the obligation to fund Camina has put Legend in a very secure position financially. The second $6M (Tranche 2) is due for payment in July/August 2015 and is unconditional.
Mr Mark Wilson Managing Director
Mr Derek Waterfield Executive Director Technical
The shareholders vote on 19 August approving the payment of $1M consideration to cancel the 800M Performance Options and the subsequent cancellation on 28 August 2014 tidied Legend’s share structure which the Board sees as removing an impediment to corporate activity.
PROJECTS
Fraser Range: Nickel, Copper Gold
Commencement of the ground electromagnetic (EM) survey on our Fraser Range tenement marks our first on ground exploration activity in Western Australia for five years.

1. FRASER RANGE PROJECT – (100% Legend)
The Fraser Range Project covers 409km[2] , comprising one granted exploration licence (E28/2342) and two exploration licence applications (E28/2408 and E28/2415). Tenement E28/2342 is located 220km northeast of Nova and 100km south of Tropicana in the Fraser Range District, see Figure 1. It is considered prospective for Nova style nickel-copper and Tropicana style structurally controlled gold mineralisation.

Figure 1: Project Location on Regional Aeromagnetic Image
Legend recently completed an interpretation of detailed aeromagnetic data over E28/2342, identifying seven priority targets showing magnetic characteristics of intrusive mafic/ultramafic bodies, see Figure 2. The targets were selected based on several factors including; high magnetic intensity, magnetic character/signature, and the relation to regional and localised structures. Several of these targets display similarities to that of Sirius’ Nova deposit.

Figure 2: Interpreted Targets over Aeromagnetic Image (Total Magnetic Intensity)
An extensive moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey aimed at identifying conductors associated with the seven priority targets has commenced, and is ongoing. Two of the seven targets have been completed to date, with no bedrock conductors identified. Thick vegetation and access difficulties have significantly slowed the survey’s progress, with the survey expected to take a further 30 days to complete.
Appropriate follow-up programmes including drill testing, will be designed to test any conductors identified by the MLEM survey, subject to the necessary statutory clearances.

Legend was successful in a tenement ballot during the quarter with respect to ELA28/2408, which is located 90km southwest of E28/2342 and covers an area of 21km[2] , see Figure 1. The application is still to clear all statutory requirements and not expected to be granted for 4-5 months, with exploration to commence shortly thereafter.
