Legend Mining (ASX: LEG) has recommenced diamond drilling at the Ngovayang Iron Ore Project in Cameroon, as the monsoon rain season is over.
The program is targeting a combination of aeromagnetic and topographic highs associated with above 50% iron ore rockchip sample results.
Legend said seven priority target areas will be tested, with drilling currently underway at the Hill 335 prospect.
At Hill 335 geological mapping has identified a shallow dipping sequence of magnetite rich metasediments over 50 metres thick, which extends south of the Nyong River at Hill 419, were a strong aeromagnetic feature coincides with a 1 kilometre long prominent ridge.
At the conclusion of drilling at these two prospects, the rig will move to the Melombo, Melombo West and Melombo East targets.
At these targets, Legend said magnetic features are interpreted to represent linear near vertical units of itabirite or metamorphic banding associated with magnetite-bearing gneiss.
