The appointment of the highly experienced ex-Creasy Group geologist and Albany-Fraser Orogen expert will take effect from August 10, 2020.

This heralds a new pre-development phase for Legend at its Rockford Project and Kiddie’s technical and management experience in exploration, evaluation and feasibility studies in the Fraser Range will enhance the company’s capabilities.

“Exciting time”

Legend's managing director Mark Wilson said “We welcome Oliver’s appointment to our executive team at this exciting time in the development of the Mawson discovery and the whole of the Rockford project.

"His arrival adds a dimension to our technical and development capabilities, and we look forward to his contribution to the future growth of the company.”

New general manager exploration

Following the new appointment, current executive director Derek Waterfield will step down from the board and assume the position of general manager exploration, remaining focused on the Rockford Project.

From August 10 the board will be made up of chairman Michael Atkins, managing director Mark Wilson,

executive director Oliver Kiddie and company secretary Tony Walsh.

Extensive experience

Kiddie is a geologist with more than 18 years’ experience across exploration, resource definition, project development and production throughout Australia and internationally.

He has extensive experience in base metal and gold exploration through senior management and executive positions, working for companies including Dominion Mining, European Goldfields and most recently as GM exploration for the Creasy Group.

While at Creasy Group he led the exploration team of the Fraser Range project, including the discovery, resource definition and mining lease application for the Silver Knight nickel-copper-cobalt deposit.

“Tier-1 potential”

Kiddie said “I am excited to be joining Legend Mining at this stage in its Rockford Project’s exploration and evaluation strategy.

"The recent Mawson discovery on the company’s tenure in the Rockford Project has highlighted the potential for multiple Tier-1 discoveries on the Rockford Project.”

He possesses a strong corporate background having managed numerous transactions and joint ventures as key responsibilities of senior management and executive positions.

Kiddie is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
