Legend Mining Limited (ASX: LEG) has identified a significant 12,000-14,000S downhole conductor at the Mawson Prospect within its Rockford Project in the prospective Fraser Range area of Western Australia.
Managing Director, Mark Wilson, said the conductor was recognised through a downhole electromagnetic (DHTEM) survey conducted on recent RC in drillhole RKRC013.
The DHTEM survey is ongoing in the recently completed RC drillholes, with the RC rig having completed a seven hole baseline before moving on to drilling under priority aircore holes in the eastern aircore geochemical anomaly (EAGA).
In the meantime, a diamond rig is mobilising to site later this week with the new conductor a priority target, while assays have been received from RC drillholes RKRC011-014.
“The strength, size and location of the offhole conductor northwest of hole 13 makes it a priority target when the diamond rig returns to site later this week,” Mr Wilson said.
“It is interpreted as the possible northeast extension of the mineralisation at Mawson and is an exciting development at this prospect.”
The seven RC holes targeted a combination of known Ni-Cu mineralisation in the west, the central gravity high and the southern baseline of the EAGA.
