Legend Mining has taken another important step towards discovering a Nova lookalike at its Rockford project in the Fraser Range with news that last week's highly anomalous nickel, copper and cobalt results were from the same host rocks as those at the revered Nova ore body nearby. New assays also showed significant nickel and copper 1.6 kms away, suggesting Legend could be on to something decent.

Legend Mining's patient and systematic exploration for a Nova-Bollinger lookalike at its vast Rockford project in the Fraser Range has delivered its best result yet. New assays from aircore drilling at Area D returned 47 metres at 0.29% nickel, 0.12% copper and 0.03% cobalt, which compares very favourably with results at a similar stage in the Nova discovery according to company management.

Legend Mining's Rockford project is gathering investor interest with the company's stock jumping by 55% in the past month. Nickel's growing recognition as a key part of the electric vehicle boom, coupled with Legend's blue chip address, just down the road from the revered Nova-Bollinger deposit, is putting legend onto the radars of investors. The company has just kicked off a 5000m drill program.

Legend Mining's drill campaign in the Fraser Range has generated a swag of new clues about the possible location of a major nickel-copper sulphide orebody, including a “very strong” new conductor just 20m below the latest drill hole. The ASX junior is leading the search for the next Nova-Bollinger style discovery and continues to generate positive signs of magmatic nickel-copper sulphides.

Legend Mining's tenacious search for the next Nova-Bollinger lookalike in the Fraser Range just got real after the company encountered multiple intercepts of sulphides in the first drill hole. The hits include mineralization that is similar to that found at Nova-Bollinger and investors will no doubt be sitting on the edge of their chairs whilst the results are being assayed.

Legend Mining shareholders have some exciting weeks ahead, with the explorer announcing plans for imminent drill tests of up to five conductors, including the monster N1 target at the Rockford project. Legend is rated by many as the best hope for a follow-up discovery to the massive Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper find in the Fraser Range.

New positive assays from Legend Mining's Rockford project have encouraged the company to drill a deep diamond drill hole within weeks to test its most promising conductor. The company has now identified a +300 metre wide zone of anomalous copper and nickel up-dip from where a strong conductor has been modeled from a depth of about 500 metres.

Legend Mining's methodical and highly technical exploration techniques at the vast Rockford project in the Fraser Range has produced an exciting target to be followed up with diamond drilling as early as next month. Shallow aircore holes have identified mafic rocks mineralised with nickel and copper above a much larger and stronger conductor than previously modeled.

Legend Mining's search for another Nova-Bollinger style deposit in the Fraser Range has entered a new stage with the start of a 50-hole aircore drilling program. The wide-spaced program will add to results from a technologically advanced round of electromagnetic surveys and help define targets for the next stage of diamond drilling.

Legend Mining's drawn-out settlement of the 2014 sale of a magnetite project in Cameroon is edging closer towards a happy ending. The project buyer, Jindal Steel and Power, has kept faith by making another interest payment this week. Legend reaffirmed that it believes Jindal is still committed to finalising a new payment arrangement for the final $3 million in the first half of the year.

Legend Mining have added more tenements to their already sizeable land holdings in the revered Fraser Range district. The acquisition of two tenements from Musgrave Minerals via a share-only deal underlines the Perth-based explorer's high confidence in a nickel-copper discovery along strike from the breakthrough Nova-Bollinger discovery by Sirius Resources in 2012.

There's nothing like the hint of a good conductor to get the base metal bulls hoofing at the dirt and Legend Mining haven't disappointed in that regard. The company announced this week they had identified a number of conductors, which followed the identification last month of the right rocks for a Nova/Bollinger style deposit at their Rockford project.

Legend Mining's systematic search for the next Nova-Bollinger deposit in the Fraser Range in W.A is looking increasingly positive with a big reconnaissance drill program yielding excellent first pass results. The company reported this week that their regional aircore drilling program had intersected favourable nickel-copper host rocks in 10 of the 64 drill holes.

Legend Mining and the Creasy Group have moved into the next phase of their hunt for a Nova-Bollinger lookalike by kicking off an 80-hole aircore drilling program at the Rockford project in the Fraser Range. The 5,000-metre drill program follows news a fortnight ago of highly encouraging assay results from two diamond drill holes at the project.

An 80-hole aircore drill program is set to begin at the Rockford project, widely regarded as one of our best hopes for another Nova-Bollinger discovery in the Fraser Range. Legend Mining and the Creasy Group have been prompted to undertake the big regional drilling program following encouraging assay results from their first two diamond drill holes.

Legend Mining have wasted no time getting back into the field for a series of moving loop electromagnetic survey's at their Rockford project in the Fraser Range, home to the giant Nova-Bollinger nickel deposit. They recently completed a round of exploratory drilling at Rockford which the company says has greatly assisted it to better understand the geology at the Fraser Range.

Legend Mining today partly realized a profit of $3.46m after selling Independence Gold shares it bought on market back in 2012. The sale provided a healthy kick for the Fraser Range explorer's share price and a boost to its cash reserves to $8.5 million. In total, Legend has received $5,332,162 worth of cash and script for its $1.87m investment in the then Sirius Resources.

Avid market followers will no doubt look to punt Legend Mining's stock today at around .008c/.009c a share after the company announced they were commencing a 1050m drilling campaign to identify the source of three conductors at the Fraser Range. The ground is just 120km from Sirius Resources goliath Nova Bollinger nickel find and it is on a simular gravity tenor ridge.

There's nothing quite like the hunt for magnetic conductors in the exploration business to get the nickel and copper bulls dusting off their cheque books – especially when your ground is only 120 km from the goliath Nova Bollinger nickel find. Legend Mining have split 2 conductors into 5 with new ground surveys and are now planning to drill test them this month.

The intrigue around Legend Mining's Fraser Range project is building as the company prepares to undertake two Down Hole Survey's in search of the source of two strong magnetic conductors. The company believes it may have just missed the conductors with its drill holes and the downhole survey is capable of detecting conductors up to 100m off hole.

Despite encountering drilling difficulties that resulted in the abandonment of two holes at their Rockford project in the Fraser Range, Legend Mining says it gained a valuable insight into the geology in the area. Legend says it is able to confirm the presence of “Fraser Zone” rocks highlighting the prospectively of Area D for Nickel and Copper mineralisation.

Ever since Sirius Resources poked a hole into a magnetic signature on a map and came up with the colossal Nova-Bollinger nickel resource, the market takes particular note when others do the same – especially when it is in the same area. Legend Mining shares have run by 50% over the last few weeks ahead of their drill program starting on February 22nd to test 5 identified conductors.

Legend Mining's strategy to identify another Nova-Bollinger style nickel deposit in the Fraser Range has passed its first hurdle with the discovery of multiple bedrock conductors at the company's Rockford project. The Nova-Bollinger discovery, which also lies within the Fraser Range is situated on a similar tenor gravity ridge and the two projects are only about 120km apart.

Cashed up Legend Mining seals the deal at Frazer Range and kicks off ground EM survey. Mark Creasy banks 71.5m Legend shares and 150m options.
