Legend Mining Limited (ASX:LEG) has unveiled a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Mawson Deposit within the Rockford Project, Fraser Range, Western Australia.
Highlights
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,” Managing Director, Mark Wilson, said.
“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.”
The Rockford Project is located within the highly prospective Fraser Range district of Western Australia, with tenure covering a total area of 2,994 sq. km and comprising 14 granted exploration licences.
Located 300km east of Kalgoorlie, the Rockford Project is serviced by excellent infrastructure including the Trans- Australia Railway and gas pipeline to the Tropicana Gold Mine. The Mawson Ni-Cu-Co Deposit is within E28/2188 and E28/2189, which is under a Joint Venture between Legend (70%) and the Creasy Group, through Rockford Metals Pty Ltd (30%).
