Main Assets
- Landholding: Clear title to almost entire Gidgee greenstone belt (2,600km2). Prospective and under explored.
- Grade: History of high grade free milling gold deposits $(10.1Mt \omega)$ 4.1g/t Au for 1.3Moz produced, 0.3Moz remaining resource).
- People: Experienced exploration team with record of success, supported by Mark Creasy.
- Plant: 600,000t/annum CIP plant on care and maintenance (750,000tpa with de-bottlenecking).

Gidgee Gold Project
Gidgee Belt - 1.3 Moz of gold produced to date, existing resources of 0.3Moz.
Potential for world-class deposits.
Under-explored by West Australian standards.
Mining commenced 1987 on shallow oxide gold deposits.
High grade free milling gold ore in primary zone (6-8g/t Au underground)
Legend controls almost entire belt.


Exploration Strategy & Focus
- Commodity: Initial focus on gold (mill reopening). Opportunity - copper/zinc.
- Methods: World's best practice geology, geophysics, geochemistry & strong commitment to drilling.
- Ideas: Utilise knowledge gained from other successful programs in Archaean greenstone belts.
- Science: "Best-practice science based" approach to target identification & testing.

- North striking over $+200$ m, open to south. $\circledast$
- Dipping $70^{\circ}/E$ , drilled to 250 metres below surface ("mbs") and open at depth.
- Northern margin terminates against Lemuel Fault. Not O adequately drill tested north of Lemuel.
- U/g workings within 180m of known Southern extent. $\bigoplus$
- Lode commences 80mbs, in base of North Swan Bitter pit. $^{\circ}$
- Drill testing of Southern and down dip extensions underway. 4

North Swan Bitter Pit Premium Lode
- GDC003: 5m $\omega$ 4.3g/t gold and $5m$ (a) $5.6g/t$ gold GDC005: $2m \omega$ 34.7g/t gold and $8m \omega$ 5.9g/t gold
- GDC006: $22m(\omega$ 4.2g/t gold includes $5m(\omega_8.6g/t)$ gold
- GDC030: 11m @ 17.8g/t gold includes $2m \omega$ 73.8g/t gold
- GDC044: 13m @ 19.5g/t gold includes $7m \ (\omega\ 34.6g/t \text{ gold})$
- GDC057: $4m(\omega, 5.7g/t)$ gold
GDC058: $13m \omega$ 38g/t gold

Gulliver Lode
- New gold discovery in 2005. Ø
- High grade (up to $12m$ $\omega$ $29g/t$ Au GDC083).
- Fracture fill quartz lode, $5 20m$ true thickness. $^{\circ}$
- Flat to gently east dipping, open down dip. Ø
- Striking N-S over +300m,
- Open to the north, truncated by Antelope Fault to south. OB
- Commences ~50–80 mbs, in base of Swift line of pits. .
- Mineralisation at Vigilant suggests lode open to south, but ۰ offset to west.
- Drill testing of Northern and down dip extensions underway.

* Denotes 4m composites





Eagle Target
- Situated in favourable structural position: dilational 'flexure' zone
- 3 oxide pits, no drilling deeper than 80m.
- Favourable geology and alteration.
- Encouraging results from 1st of 3 holes drilled.
$-4m$ @ 21.2g/t Au, 4m @ 8.0g/t Au

Near Mine: Forward Plan
- Continue extensional and infill RC drilling of Premium and Gulliver gold lodes (2 RC Rigs).
- Continue modelling of lodes, initiate preliminary resource estimation.
- Commence scoping studies to assess development options. (possible extraction via mix of open cut & underground methods).
- Drill test Kingfisher Swan Bitter zone for third new gold lode.
- Drill test East Kingfisher zone for Swift-style stacked lode targets.
Base Metals
Three copper-zinc targets identified
- Golden Hind: 4 m @ 0.49% Zn, 0.42% Cu in RAB, 4 km south of mine (new discovery).
- Altair: 12 m $(a)$ 1.67% Cu, mag/gravity target.
- Bevan: 7 m $(a)$ 5.7% Cu, 10 m $(a)$ 2.35% Zn in historical RC drill holes. Felsic volcanic belt over 50 km long.



RAB Drilling: Many More Targets To Test


Regional RAB Drilling 2005
Target Rationale
Many areas with favourable structure & geology but shallow or no drilling.
Reappraisal of existing data underway.
Application of New Ideas & Technology.
Developing systematic exploration program.
Initial RAB targets, significant success.

RAB Drilling 2005 Early Success
Major extension to mafic host rock sequence
Confirmed new geological interpretation
Enhanced prospectivity of Gidgee Belt
Gidgee Belt - Summary
- History of high grade Gold Mineralisation. .
- Under-explored belt, now under Legend's control. ۱
- 1.3 million ounces gold produced to date, but regional surface/RAB geochemical footprint poorly tested by drilling.
- New directions in 2005, exploration is priority.
- Outstanding gold exploration drill results Jan-May 2005. $\bullet$
