Legend

Northern Territory Projects

Legend holds 4.7 million acres of landholdings in the Northern Territory, Australia with strong exploration potential for phosphate, base metals and diamonds.

Legend's Northern Territory exploration projects include McArthur River; Abner Range; Glyde; Foelsche; and Cox.

McArthur River

Legend's base metal project is situated approximately 20 kilometres south west of Borroloola. The Emu fault zone which runs through Legend's tenements is a mineralised geological feature hosting the HYC Pyritic Shale base metal prospect and a number of known base metal deposits accounting for 8% of world base metal (lead-zinc-silver) production.

Abner Range

The Abner Range Plateau is approximately 300 kilometers south of Borroloola, west of The Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory. It is host to the diamondiferous Abner Range Kimberlite part of the Merlin diamondiferous intrusive field, only seven kilometres north of Legend's holdings. Past indicator mineral sampling by Ashton and Rio Tinto has recovered macrodiamonds, microdiamonds and chromite indicator minerals with no primary source yet determined.

Glyde Project

The Glyde River is in the Batten Trough and hosts 40 kilometres of alluvial gravels sourced from numerous diamond bearing catchments including the entire Merlin diamond field. The pipes in the Merlin field are located on the eastern shoulder of the Battern Trough only six kilometres east of the Emu Fault. They have intruded the Cambrian Bukalara sandstone and were emplaced around the time of the Alice Springs Orogeny.

Foelsche Project

Legend's Foelsche Project tenements lie east of the Glyde Project and Merlin diamond field. They are bound by regional scale faults which act as fluid conduits for mineralisation and have uplifted basement rocks up to lie against younger sandstones. The area contains historical trains of kimberlite indicator minerals in streams draining the area.

Cox Project

The Cox Project is located about 150km west of the  Merlin diamond field. Historical Open File Research has indicated that there are two key areas of concentration of diamonds and indicator minerals, one within EL 22297. Previous work by Ashton involved bulk sampling and grid loaming in order to locate a source. The grid sampling was carried out at 500m spacing in some areas, and 1km in others. Chromites and micro diamonds are distributed along a parallel north trending structures in the northern areas of the tenements.
