Investee Company Update
Medgold Resources Corp. ("Medgold") Expands Portfolio
with Three Gold Exploration Permits in Galicia, Spain
Legendary is pleased to report that its investee company, Medgold Resources Corp. (TSX-V: MED), the European focused gold exploration company, has now completed the application process and paid all relevant taxes for three contiguous gold exploration permits covering 79 square kilometres in southern Galicia, Spain.
·; The applications cover approximately 79 square kilometres of the highly prospective Galician Hercynican Massif. Licence issuance is expected in Q2 2013.
·; Gold-bearing structure already identified over 14 strike km covering several licence areas.
·; Rock chip sampling has yielded results of up to 11.10, 5.49 and 2.73 g/t Au.
·; Applications also submitted, through a public tender process, for 6 adjoining licences.
·; Pinzas Gold Project contains multiple old gold workings and is considered to be highly prospective for gold.
This transaction marks Medgold's entry into Spain. A 14 km linear deformation zone, with multiple known high-grade gold occurrences on the application areas has been identified. Exploration work will be implemented upon licence issuance to test the potential of the area and identify further targets. The geology is very similar to Medgold's Boticas project in Portugal, located 100 km to the southeast, where Medgold has an exclusive option.
Zafar Karim, Executive Chairman of Legendary, said "We are pleased with the rapid progress being made at Medgold towards its aim of becoming the leading Mediterranean-focused gold exploration company. In the last 4 months, Medgold has listed on the TSX, applied for permits in Spain, been awarded a licence in Portugal and has had encouraging surface rock chip assays. We look forward to further progress."
