Mr Derek Waterfield Executive Director Technical
The elevation of Legend to the All Ordinaries Index on 22 June 2020 talks to the rise of Legend to a $340M market cap company with a cash balance of $25M during the June 2020 quarter. The nomination of Legend for Mining News “Explorer of the Year” award confirms the achievements of the Legend team during the 2020 year and the overall prospectivity of the Rockford Project.
PROJECTS
Rockford - Fraser Range: Nickel-Copper (Ni-Cu) Copper-Zinc-Silver (Cu-Zn-Ag) Gold (Au)
The highly productive quarter has included diamond and aircore drilling programmes and various geophysical surveys. An RC drill programme has commenced which along with future aircore and geophysical programmes will provide data to input into our geological model of the Mawson prospect. This in turn will generate the next diamond drill targets.
Meanwhile aircore drilling and innovative MLTEM surveys will be ongoing over regional tenement areas.

Diamond drillholes RKDD019 and RKDD020 were completed at NE Mawson testing FLTEM conductors D13 and D15 respectively (see Figure 7 & Table 1). Both conductors have moderate to strong conductances and are of relatively limited size, unlike most other Mawson conductors which are considerably larger and stratigraphic in character (see Table 3).

Both drillholes intersected a mixed sequence of mafic intrusive and metasediment before ending a thick metasedimentary package containing several graphitic units. These graphitic units adequately explained the D13 and D15 conductors and confirmed with DHTEM surveying. No significant mineralisation was intersected in either drillhole with only minor disseminated sulphide observed in the mafic intrusives in RKDD019.

Mawson Aircore Drilling
A further 106 aircore holes (RKAC763-868) for 7,846m were drilled at Mawson during the June 2020 quarter, with drilling on an initial 200m x 200m grid with 50m infill following up (see Appendix 2). The drilling has been designed to give a better understanding of the geochemistry, rock type and depth of cover in areas which have already produced modelled MLTEM conductors and/or anomalous geochemistry from previous aircore programmes.
Assay results have been received up to drillhole RKAC831, with anomalous Ni-Cu-Co values returned from 23 drillholes associated with olivine bearing mafic/ultramafic host rocks (see Table 4).
These results have defined a large 1.2m x 0.2km NE-SW trending coherent Ni-Cu-Co geochemical anomaly situated to the east of the main Mawson sulphide mineralisation (see Figure 8). The position of this geochemical feature coincides with the centre of an oval shaped magnetic feature and a 4mgal gravity high.

Figure 8: Anomalous Ni-Cu Aircore Results and RC Drill Traverse over Gravity Image
A detailed gravity survey comprising 2,325 stations at 50m x 50m and 100m x 100m spacings covering 10.8km[2] was completed at Mawson aimed at providing high resolution data to better define the main 4mgal gravity high and to be used in conjunction with aircore drilling to assist deep drill targeting (see Figure 8).
Mawson RC Drilling
A 3,000m RC drilling programme has commenced at Mawson with an initial west to east traverse testing three targets; the upper Ni-Cu sulphide zone between diamond holes RKDD007 and RKDD015, the main gravity high and the eastern aircore Ni-Cu-Co geochemical anomaly (see Figure 8). The programme is expected to take 4-6 weeks to complete.

Northeast Mawson (FLTEM)
FLTEM surveys were completed over four previously identified MLTEM conductors (D13, D14, D15 and D18) in the northeastern portion of Mawson (see Figures 9 & 10). The surveying confirmed the presence of the features and allowed accurate modelling of the plate parameters (see Table 5).
D13 is a moderate conductor (2,000-3,000S) and shows similarities to the conductors which define the overall synformal structure at Mawson. It is however a relatively discrete feature and appears related to a linear magnetic unit some 200m to the north. Conductors D14, D15 and D18 differ to the other Mawson conductors in that they are discrete features with high conductances (4,500-12,500S) and directly associated with a coincident localised magnetic high and gravity high/ridge.

Mawson Central (LF-FLTEM)
Legend commissioned Highpower EM Geophysical Services (HPEM) to conduct a low frequency fixed loop electromagnetic (LF-FLTEM) survey over the recently discovered nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at Mawson. This survey was part of further developing Legend’s innovative R&D activities, combining high power (~100amp), a new Figure 8 loop configuration and a low frequency of 0.0625Hz. The aim of the survey was to overcome the problem of highly conductive transported cover and the close proximity of large graphitic/stratigraphic conductors to detect the sulphide mineralisation.
The technique was able to suppress/limit the effects of the conductive transported cover and the western D5 conductor, however the effects of the large D1 conductor to the south could not be suppressed. As a result, the sulphide mineralisation was not detected by the survey. This is still

considered a valid exploration technique and further test work will be completed over the D1 conductor testing an offhole DHTEM feature adjacent to the previous diamond drillhole RKDD006.
Worsley (MLTEM)
Infill MLTEM surveying at Worsley has further refined the original MLTEM modelling in the mid and late channels revealing a broad/deep conductor of moderate conductance. The following modelled parameters were returned from the W1 conductor; 400-800S conductance, >1kmx1km dimensions, a dip of 50-60[0] to the E/ESE and a depth to top of 200-250m (see Table 5 & Figure 11).
The position of the remodelled conductor corresponds closely with anomalous Zn-Cu-Ag results in previous aircore drillholes associated with metasedimentary host rocks. A 400m diamond drillhole has been designed to test this conductor.

Figure 11: MLTEM Survey over Worsley, Crean and Hurley Prospects
Crean (MLTEM)
Ten lines of MLTEM were completed at Crean following up anomalous Ni-Cu-Co results in olivine bearing ultramafic from previous aircore drilling (11m @ 0.42% Ni, 0.01% Cu, 0.03% Co from 32m to end of hole in RKAC520). The survey identified the C1 conductor in late channels with the following modelled parameters; moderate conductance of 500-1,500S, >1kmx1km dimensions, a dip of 60-70[0] to the E/ESE and a depth to top of 500-600m (see Table 5 & Figure 11).
The C1 conductor lies some 800m to the south of the anomalous aircore geochemistry. Follow up aircore drilling to define the extent of the anomalous geochemistry is required along with a FLTEM survey to allow more accurate modelling of the C1 conductor.

Hurley (MLTEM)
An initial four line MLTEM survey at Hurley was undertaken targeting a NNE-SSW trending package of rocks with a complex/folded aeromagnetic signature. The survey identified the H1 conductor with preliminary modelling indicating a moderate to high conductance of 3,000-5,000S+ and a narrow/elongate conductor ~300m wide E-W with relatively large depth/plunge extent (see Table 5 & Figure 11). Further infill MLTEM of this promising conductor is required to allow accurate parameter modelling. A second, less well defined feature (H2) was also identified to the north and requires further surveying to better define the target. Several lines of aircore will also be required to test for anomalous geochemistry prior to possible RC/diamond drill testing.
Magnus (MLTEM)
High power (~200 amp) MLTEM surveying was completed over the entire Magnus prospect. The survey identified the M1 conductor with the following modelled parameters; low-moderate conductance of ~300-500S, 200x>250m dimensions, a dip of 50-60[0] to the SE and a depth to top of 75-125m (see Table 5). Further assessment of this conductor is required prior to possible drill testing. A number of other low conductance features were identified, however are considered low priority targets.
Octagonal (MLTEM)
As with Magnus, high power MLTEM surveying was completed over the entire Octagonal prospect aimed at detecting extensions to previously identified nickel-copper mineralisation and identifying additional bedrock targets to a depth ~500m (beyond conventional EM depth penetration of 250300m). The survey identified a number of large weak to moderate stratigraphic features associated with the main mafic/ultramafic intrusive, however no new significant bedrock conductors were identified.
Future Programmes
-
Continue RC drilling programme at Mawson.
-
Continue aircore drill programme across the greater Mawson area.
-
Integration of geological and geophysical data into the Mawson 3D geological model.
-
Complete geochemical analysis of Mawson drill dataset.
-
Design further diamond drillholes based on results from aircore and RC drilling and interpretation of geological model.
-
Infill MLTEM at Hurley to better constrain H1 and H2 conductors.
-
Aircore follow up at Crean and Hurley to define extent of anomalous geochemistry.
-
RC/Diamond drill test of Shackleton and Worsley conductors (possibly also Crean and Hurley depending on follow up MLTEM and aircore).

2. CORPORATE
Capital Raise
In June 2020 the Company completed a capital raising of $20 million from existing major shareholders, and a range of institutional and sophisticated investors (“Placement”). The funds raised via the Placement will be applied to progress the Company’s exploration activities at its Rockford Project in the Fraser Range, in particular on the Mawson Prospect and general working capital.
The Placement was cornerstoned by the Company’s two largest shareholders, Creasy Group and IGO Limited. Euroz Securities Limited acted as Sole Lead Manager to the Placement with Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited as Co-Manager.
