Legend Mining is an Australian based explorer with assets in Australia and West Africa.

Last month, Legend completed initial metallurgical testing on samples from the Mawson’s prospect, within the Rockford Project in WA.

Diamond drilling samples were tested and showed that massive sulphides from the site are amenable to convention floatation. Recovery rates of up to 98 per cent for copper and 97 per cent for nickel was achieved.

On the market this morning, Legend is in the grey and trading at 13 cents per share at 11:55 am AEDT.
