In November 2006, Legend flew an airborne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic survey (VTEM-1) covering 180km2. (ASX Announcement: 4 December 2006). The VTEM technique has proven to be an extremely valuable and cost effective technique in identifying new targets and known sulphide ore systems in the Pilbara. The VTEM-1 survey identified six priority base metal targets consistent with the possible presence of massive sulphide.

A second VTEM-2 survey was completed in June 2007, covering 210km2, identifying a further six priority base metal targets and five second order anomalies. (ASX Announcement: 5 July 2007).

Subsequent ground Fixed-Loop Transient Electromagnetic surveys (FLTEM) over the 12 priority targets has resulted in the definition of 11 immediate drill targets. Click here to view target locations.

Nine targets fall within Legend’s 100% owned and two on Mt Marie JV ground located within 50km of Karratha. Approximately 50% of the current ground holding has now been flown by the two surveys.

Legend is currently working to expedite the grant of exploration licences and will commence the drill testing of electromagnetic anomalies subject to the grant of title.

Legend has already identified eleven priority base metal drill targets and has identified 17.5km of the Cleaverville formation as having potential for Iron Ore.
