Legend Mining Limited has announced the signing of binding term sheets to acquire a 100% interest in the Pinnacle Well Project. The asset, comprising exploration licences E37/1246 and E37/1548 covering approximately 110 km², is located 25 km north-northeast of Leonora in Western Australia’s northern goldfields. The project area, noted for its historical mining activity, has seen little exploration activity for over a decade and is considered prospective for both gold and base metals, positioning the firm for its first venture beyond its traditional Fraser Range projects. The geological setting of the Pinnacle Well Project is characterized by a mixed suite of andesite, mafic/felsic volcanics, and sediments in the southern part, transitioning to syenogranite, granite, and granodiorite in the north. Prominent regional NW-SE trending structures and distinct alteration zones, such as extensive pyrophyllite and greisen, signal potential mineralising fluid pathways, prompting plans to reprocess aeromagnetic, radiometric, and gravity datasets. Historical exploration has included broad-spaced soil sampling, rockchip sampling, and limited drilling – with the last drilling occurring in 2003 – but recent work near the syenogranite-volcanic contact has uncovered extensive quartz veining with gold nuggets and gossan outcrops, highlighting promising drill targets. Future exploration programmes will focus on compiling and validating historical data, enhancing the regional geological interpretation through geostatistical analysis and further infill soil sampling, particularly over licence E37/1548. The acquisition details include a cash consideration of $50,000 and the payment of a 1.5% gross royalty on mineral production. The transaction is expected to be completed in July 2025, and Legend Mining Limited has expressed strong intent to leverage this acquisition to generate drill targets and ultimately explore for both intrusive-related gold and VMS base metal deposits. Bullish sentiment centers around the strategic entry into the well-mineralised Leonora district, the low exploration footprint to date which leaves significant upside potential, and the clear roadmap for advanced data reprocessing and target generation. The company’s move to expand beyond its existing portfolio, combined with the favourable geological indicators, underscores a promising near-term exploration narrative. Bearish sentiment may arise from the historically limited exploration activities at the project, including sparse drilling that leaves resource potential unconfirmed, and inherent exploration risks associated with early-stage projects. Additionally, the modest cash outlay and royalty structure might temper investor enthusiasm if future drilling does not yield significant discoveries or if exploration results do not meet elevated market expectations.
