NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Legend Mining Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 30 June 2023 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 30 August 2023.
Legend Mining Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are exploration for nickel and copper deposits in Australia.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Legend Mining Limited for the year ended 31 December 2022.
It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Legend Mining Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 30 June 2023 in accordance with the continuance disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
(a) Basis of preparation
The half-year financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. The halfyear financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value.
The half-year financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are expressed as whole dollars. For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discreet reporting period.
(b) New Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2023. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
(c) Estimates
The preparation of the half-year financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(c) Information on the classification of options
For the half year ended 30 June 2023, all options on issue were anti-dilutive as the Group made a loss. This has resulted in diluted earnings per share being the same as the basic earnings per share. These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The number of dilutive potentially issuable ordinary shares at 30 June 2023 is 91,000,000 (30 June 2022: 155,211,111).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS
Exploration expenditure commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group will be required to outlay approximately $2,390,000 (2022: $2,373,000) in the following twelve months in respect of tenement lease rentals and to meet minimum expenditure requirements of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations and have not been provided for in the financial report.
NOTE 15: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There are no contingent liabilities at the reporting date.
NOTE 16: EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half-year to the date of this report which have significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity.
NOTE 17: DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED
No dividends were paid or proposed this financial period.
NOTE 18: FAIR VALUES
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 are reasonable approximations of their fair values at those dates.
Management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period.
The fair value of the financial assets is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEGEND MINING LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Legend Mining Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Legend Mining Limited and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
