Legend Mining Delivers Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Mawson

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Legend Mining (ASX: LEG) announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Mawson deposit within the company’s Rockford project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia.

The MRE has come in at 1.45 Million tonnes at 1.14 per cent nickel, 0.74 per cent copper, and 0.07 per cent cobalt (1.2% nickel equivalent (NiEq)) for 28,200 tonnes contained metal (16,500t nickel, 10,600t copper, 1,100t cobalt).

The MRE consists of an Indicated Estimate of 0.86 million tonnes at 1.41 NiEq for 11,500 tonnes nickel, 7,600 tonnes copper and 700 tonnes cobalt.

The Inferred category has come in at 0.59 million tonnes at 0.9 per cent NiEq for 5,000tonnes nickel, 3,100 tonnes copper, and 400 tonnes cobalt.

“The rationale to publish this resource at Mawson was to quantify the success of our exploration efforts to date and to establish a base upon which we can continue to build a resource inventory at our Rockford project,” Legend Mining managing director Mark Wilson said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“This is the third published nickel resource in the Fraser Range, demonstrating that this under explored nickel belt has the potential to host further accumulations of nickel-copper sulphide.

“Our ongoing systematic exploration efforts will look to discover more of these accumulations across Rockford.

“We are looking forward to receipt of the Octagonal 3D seismic model and the reprocessed model for Mawson as a basis to plan diamond drilling for the upcoming field season as set out in our December 2022 Quarterly Report.

“Meanwhile, the regional aircore drilling and innovative high power EM surveys are ongoing.”
