BOARD CHARTER
1. ROLE
The Board’s primary role is to represent shareholders and to promote and protect the interests of Legend Mining Limited by governing the Company.
2. COMPOSITION
It is a priority of the Board to achieve an appropriate balance between independent and non-independent representation on the Board. The Board takes into account the required skills and experience required in the context of the Company’s operations and activities from time to time. In determining whether or not directors are independent, the Board applies the criteria as set out in the ASX recommendations by requiring each director to complete a Director’s Independence Questionnaire.
Where the Chair is not an independent director, the Company will appoint a lead independent director if it is practicable to do so. The lead independent director will take over the role of the Chair when the Chair is unable to act in that capacity as a result of his or her lack of independence.
The independent directors, along with all directors, are responsible for reviewing and challenging executive performance. They are also responsible for contributing to the development of strategy.
The Board considers that a director is an executive if that director is involved in the day to day management of the Company.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT
To fulfill its role the Board is responsible for:
- overseeing the Company’s commitment to the health and safety of employees and contractors, the environment and sustainable development;
- overseeing the activities of the Company, including its control and accountability systems;
- appointing and removing the Managing Director, Company Secretary, and other senior executives, evaluating their performance, reviewing their remuneration and ensuring an appropriate succession plan;
- setting the strategic objectives of the Company and monitoring its progress against those objectives;
- reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management and internal control;
- setting the operational and financial objectives and goals for the Company;
- ensuring that there are effective corporate governance policies and practices in place;
- approving and monitoring budgets, capital management and acquisitions and divestments;
- approving and monitoring all financial reporting to the market;
- appointment of external auditors and principal professional advisors; and
- formal determinations that are required by the Company’s constitutional documents or by law or other external regulation.
These responsibilities are designed to provide strategic guidance for the Company and effective oversight management.
Beyond those matters, the Board has delegated all authority to the Managing Director for management of the Company’s business within any limits imposed by the Board.
4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS
The Chair
The Chair is responsible for leadership of the Board, the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board’s function and for the briefing of all directors in relation to the issues arising at Board meetings. The Chair is also responsible for monitoring shareholder communication, continuous disclosure compliance and Board performance.
The Managing Director
The Managing Director is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under delegated authority from the Board and to implement the policies and strategy set by the Board. In carrying out those responsibilities, the Managing Director must report to the Board in a timely manner and ensure all reports to the Board present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and operational results.
5. PROCESS FOR EVALUATING BOARD PERFORMANCE
The Board may undergo periodic formal assessment processes, including assessment of the Board’s committees, where applicable. An independent third party consultant may be used to facilitate the assessment.
The assessment process which may be used by the Board requires each director to complete a questionnaire relating to the role, composition, procedures, practices and behaviour of the Board and its members. Senior executives having most direct contact with the Board may also be invited to complete similar questionnaires. Responses to the questionnaires are confidential and provided direct to the consultant, with the results in aggregate then being communicated to the Chair of the Board. The Board as a whole then hold a facilitated discussion during which each Board member has the opportunity to raise any matter, suggestion for improvement or criticism with the Board as a whole.
The Chair of the Board may also meet individually with each Board member to discuss their performance.
6. ACCESS TO INDEPENDENT ADVICE
Each director has the right, so long as he is acting reasonably in the interests of the Company and in the discharge of his duties as a director, to seek independent professional advice and recover the reasonable costs of that advice from the Company.
The advice shall only be sought after consultation about the matter with the Chair (where it is reasonable that the Chair be consulted) or, if it is the Chair that wishes to seek the advice or it is unreasonable that he is consulted, another director.
The advice is to be made immediately available to all Board members other than to a director against whom privilege is claimed.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE POLICY
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Continuous Disclosure Policy is to:
- ensure that the Company, as a minimum, complies with its continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Limited (ASX) Listing Rules and as much as possible seeks to achieve and exceed best practice;
- provide shareholders and the market with timely, direct and equal access to information issued by the Company; and
- promote investor confidence in the integrity of the Company and its securities.
This Policy contains all continuous disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, and incorporates best practice guidelines.
2. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company is a public company listed/aiming to be listed on ASX. It is/will be subject to continuous disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules (which are given legislative force under section 674 of the Corporations Act), in addition to the periodic and specific disclosure requirements.
The Rule: The primary continuous disclosure obligation is contained in Listing Rule 3.1, which states that:
“Once an entity is or becomes aware of any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity’s securities, the entity must immediately tell ASX that information.”
The Exception: Listing Rule 3.1A contains the only exception to Listing Rule 3.1:
“Listing Rule 3.1 does not apply to particular information while all of the following are satisfied:
3.1A.1 A reasonable person would not expect the information to be disclosed.
3.1A.2 The information is confidential and ASX has not formed the view that the information has ceased to be confidential.
3.1A.3 One or more of the following applies:
• It would be a breach of a law to disclose the information.
• The information concerned an incomplete proposal or negotiation.
• The information comprises matters of supposition or is insufficiently definite to warrant disclosure.
• The information is generated for internal management purposes of the entity.
• The information is a trade secret.”
Disclose to ASX first: Listing Rule 15.7 further requires that an entity must not release information that is for release to the market to anyone until it has given the information to ASX, and has received an acknowledgement from ASX that the information has been released to the market.
What is material price sensitive information?: Section 677 of the Corporations Act states that, a reasonable person would be taken to expect information to have a “material effect on the price or value” of securities if the information “would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether to acquire or dispose of” those securities.
Correction of false market: Listing Rule 3.1B provides that if ASX considers that there is, or is likely to be, a false market in an entity’s securities, and requests information from the entity to correct or prevent the false market, the entity must give ASX the information needed to correct or prevent the false market.
3. DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE
The Company will immediately notify ASX of any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities, unless exempted by the Listing Rules. The Company’s securities include all shares and options issued and granted by the Company.
Disclosure of material price sensitive information
Any information concerning the Company which would, or would be likely to, influence investors in deciding whether to acquire or sell the Company’s securities (material price sensitive information) must be disclosed to ASX in accordance with this Policy.
The Managing Director is responsible for determining what information is to be disclosed. Where there is doubt as to whether certain information should be disclosed, the full Board will be consulted, and if necessary, seek external advice. The following provides a guide as to the type of information that is likely to require disclosure. This is not an exhaustive list. The determination of whether certain information is material price sensitive information which is subject to continuous disclosure necessarily involves the use of judgment. There will inevitably be situations where the issue is less than clear.
Matters which generally require disclosure include:
- significant exploration or mining results;
- a change in the quantum or nature of the Company’s mineral resources and/or reserves;
- a change in the Company’s financial forecasts or expectations. As a guide, a variation in excess of 10% may be considered material. If the Company has not made a forecast, a similar variation from the previous corresponding period may be considered material;
- a recommendation or declaration of a dividend or distribution, or a decision one will not be declared;
- changes in the Board of Directors, senior executives or auditors;
- a change in the Company’s accounting policy;

- giving or receiving a notice of intention to make a takeover offer;

- mergers, acquisitions/divestments, joint ventures or changes in assets;
- significant developments in regard to new projects or ventures;
- major new contracts, orders, or changes in suppliers or customers;
- legal proceedings against or allegation of any breach of the law, whether civil or criminal, by the Company;
