Effective November 17, 2006, Legend issued one (1) new bonus share of Common Stock for every two (2) shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record at that date. The issue of the new bonus shares of Common Stock were on a pro-rate basis to all shareholders. As a result, the Company issued 27,599,722 shares of its Common Stock. Effective December 31, 2006, Legend issued one (1) new bonus share of Common Stock for every two (2) shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record at that date. The issue of the new bonus shares of Common Stock were on a pro-rata basis to all shareholders. As a result, the Company issued 41,934,337 shares of its Common Stock.

The Company has accounted for these bonus issues as a stock split and accordingly, all share and per share data has been retroactively restated.

Currency

We use the Australian dollar as our reporting currency, since we are headquartered in Australia and our administrative expenses are incurred in Australian dollars. References to dollars are to Australian dollars (A$) unless otherwise indicated as being United States dollars (US$). For the convenience of the reader, the Australian Dollar figures for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been translated into United States Dollars (“US$”) using the rate of exchange at December 31, 2008 of A$1.00=US$0.6907. Prior to July 31, 2006, the Company’s functional currency was the US dollar. However, as a result of the purchase of diamond mining tenements in Northern Australia in July 2006, the Company’s 2006 revenue and expenses were primarily denominated in Australian dollars (A$). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from August 1, 2006 the functional currency of the Company is the Australian dollar. Assets, liabilities and equity were translated at the rate of exchange at July 31, 2006. Revenue and expenses were translated at actual rates. Translation gains and losses were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive gain.

History

Legend was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 5, 2001 under the name Sundew International, Inc., to engage in the business of selling compatible inkjet cartridges and refill kits on the Internet.

On March 13, 2003, Legend filed for an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment") pursuant to which the name of Sundew International, Inc. was changed to "Legend International Holdings, Inc."

In November 2004, Renika Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation (“Renika”) acquired an 88% interest in Legend from William and Michael Tay (the “Tays”), the Tays resigned as Directors and Officers of Legend, Joseph Gutnick was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director and Peter Lee was appointed Secretary. The Tays also granted Renika an option to acquire an additional 578,240 shares of Common Stock that Renika exercised in 2005. Commencing in fiscal 2005, Legend has decided to focus its business on mineral exploration activities.

Effective as of March 3, 2006, the Company entered into a Contract for the Sale of Mining Tenements (“Contract”) with Astro Diamond Mines N.L. (“Astro”) an Australian company pursuant to which the Company shall acquire certain diamond mining tenements in Northern Australia from Astro, which is described above.

In November 2007, Legend acquired a number of phosphate exploration interests in the State of Queensland in Australia

Legend is an exploration stage company. Legend has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. Legend has not been involved in any material reclassification, merger consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

Description of Business

Business

The Company has never generated any significant revenues from operations and is still considered an exploration stage company. The Company was initially formed to engage in the business of selling compatible inkjet cartridges and refill kits on the Internet for the consumer printer market. In March 2003, management of the Company decided to engage in the business of building and acquiring controlling or other interests in one or more companies engaged in the contract sales and distribution of specialty medical products, and raise additional capital for this purpose. Neither business was successful and operations of both were eventually discontinued. During fiscal 2004, management of the Company developed a plan of operations to acquire income-producing real property. The Company did not acquire any properties pursuant to such plan.

Following the change of management in November 2004, the Company developed a new plan of operations, which was to engage in mineral exploration and development activities. Legend's business plan calls for the identification of mineral properties where it can obtain secure title to exploration, development and mining interests.

Landholdings

Some of Legend’s landholdings (tenements) are held under licence from the Queensland Government in Australia. Tenements are granted as either exploration permits, mineral development licences or mining leases.

Exploration permits can only be applied for over available ground. Applications consist of a prescribed application form, proposed exploration programme with estimated expenditure and the prescribed application fee. An exploration permit number is assigned when the application is received. The Department then assesses the application to determine whether a company is a suitable candidate and proposes to spend sufficient funds on exploration on the licence. If the Department considers a company to be a suitable candidate, the Department then assesses the environmental impact of the proposed exploration programme and also commences the native title process. The native title process involves advertising the application for the purpose of determining whether there are any objections to the licence being granted. If there are no objections, the permit is granted. EPM’s 16942, 17330, 17333, 17441, 17446 and 17447 were all advertised as part of the native title process on January 14, 2009. Applications EPM17087, 17437 and 17443 have not yet been advertised by the Department.

The exploration permit is granted for five years provided the company continues to comply with the licences conditions. There is a statutory requirement to reduce the area of the exploration licence by fifty percent before the end of years three, four and five.

Rent is required to be paid each year in advance.

An annual expenditure report is due each year, as a statement of the amount that has been spent on the ground. An annual technical report is also due each year, as a statement of the exploration work that has been undertaken on the ground and what work is proposed to be undertaken for the coming year.

The exploration permit is due to expire at the end of year five but a renewal application can be lodged prior to the expiry to, if granted, extend the permit for up to another five years. A summary of work completed on the ground together with a detailed explanation of the work proposed for the ground is required to accompany the renewal application.

If the company proposes to mine a measured resource it will need to apply for a Mining Lease. As the Exploration Permit holder it has automatic priority to the ground to be the subject of the mining Lease. Applications consist of a prescribed application form, details of the proposed development, the financial resources to fund the proposal and the prescribed application fee. A mining lease number is assigned when the application is received. The Department then assesses the application to determine the suitability of the proposal. The application will then pass through the environmental and native title process. An agreement will need to be negotiated with the native title holders/claimants as part of the native title process.

A mineral lease may be granted for such term as the Minister thinks fit. The company is required to state the term of the lease required at the time of application. The term required is stated on the application form.

Rent is required to be paid each year in advance.

An annual expenditure report is due each year, as a statement of what has been spent on the ground. An annual technical report is also due each year, as a statement of what work has been done on the ground and what work is proposed for the coming year.

Geological History of the Georgina Basin of Queensland.

The Georgina Basin hosts a number of phosporite deposits near Mt Isa. In particular, the Beetle Creek Formation and Thorntonia Limestone contain three key phosporite ore-types: pelletal, microsphorite and replacement-types. The Lady Annie, Lady Jane, D-Tree & Thorntonia phosphate deposits lie within the Beetle Creek Formation and its lateral facies equivalents. (Howard, 1986)

The Inca Formation is the youngest unit, composed of laminated siltstones and shales and conformably overlies Thorntonia Limestone. The Thorntonia Limestone is a dolomitic limestone with increasing chert bands toward top. It is the lateral facies equivalent to the Beetle Creek Formation, with which it intertongues. The Beetle Creek Formation hosts the phosphate deposits, composed predominately of interbedded coarse to fine grained phosphorites, siltstone, claystone, chert and some descrete carbonate lenses. Locally, karst-like surfaces are filled with chalky high-grade phosphate that appear to replace the underlying limestone. This unit conformably and gradationally overlies Mt Hendry Formation which is a discontinuous conglomerate and sandstone. (Cook & Elgueta, 1986)

All the deposits formed under coastal, shallow marine conditions. These Cambrian sediments are covered by up to 71 metres of Mesozoic claystone and sandstone and Cainozoic alluvium and eluvium. Coarse to medium grained skeletal-ovulitic grainstone and packstone phosphorites are thought to have formed through reworking, transport and accumulation grains. Phosphatic microsphorite are thought to have formed from the suspension of very fine grained detrital material or precipitation from the water column in very shallow supratidal areas. (Cook & Elgueta, 1986) The replacement phosphates are thought to have occurred due to post-depositional phosphate replacement of carbonate, such as found at D-Tree.

Exploration History and Forward Work Program

The Lady Annie, Lady Jane, D-Tree & Thorntonia phosphate deposits are located approximately 130km north west of Mt Isa in the Georgina Basin. The historically published deposits lie within the same geological rock unit and their size and tonnages are as follows:

Deposit	Classification	Estimated million tonnes	% P2O5
Lady Annie	Non-reserve mineralized material*	293	16.61
Lady Jane	Non-reserve mineralized material*	193	17.61
D-Tree Thorntonia	Non-reserve mineralized material* Non-reserve mineralized material*	3392 16	15.91 18.11

* Such non-reserve mineralized material would not qualify as a reserve until a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other material factors concludes being both legal and economic feasibility

2 Legend has an 80% interest in these deposits.

Past feasibility studies by BH South Ltd (Rogers J.K, 1988) occurred in 1974 on a phosphate rock beneficiation plant and slurry pipeline to the Queensland coast. Beneficiation test shafts and mining scale trenches were dug. A pilot plant built in 1973 produced 34% P205 concentrate at Lady Annie from 17% P205 rock (Cook, P.J. 1989). Feasiblity was concluded at that time at a production rate of 4-5 million tonnes per year (Cook, P.J. 1989).

A thorough Open File Historical data review has commenced. Past exploration and reserve estimation data is being acquired and compiled into a global database for use in re-validating the past surveys, drilling and sampling. Appropriate Heritage, Environmental and Proposals for Works approvals are being sought. A detailed field sampling and drilling program is being developed in full awareness of quality control and compliance procedures to verify past data and re-establish the volumes and percentage of phosphate in these deposits. Fieldwork commenced during 2008.

Current Work

A drilling program at the D-Tree deposit commenced in September 2008. Up to 3 drill rigs were used on the drill program to complete stage one. All three types of drilling have been summarized below.

Drill Type	No. of Holes	Metres
RC	476	12,520
Sonic	11	300
Diamond	13	324

Drilling and Sampling Methodology

The phosphate drilling program was drilled on a nominal 300 metre by 300 metre grid pattern. Some areas, such as the Galah Creek area were drilled on a 100 metre by 100 metre spacing to better define the areas of higher grade.

Three types of drilling have been conducted in the deposit to date. Reverse circulation (RC) drilling is used as the base for all results reported in this document and is the most extensive type of drilling. The second type is Diamond drilling, which mainly consists of holes to twin current RC drilling for quality control purposes. A third type, Sonic drilling was also used to obtain larger samples which are appropriate for metallurgical sampling and testing. Sonic drilling uses an ultra-high frequency oscillating drill bit to cut through the rock giving full sample recovery as there is no high pressure air or water required in the process.

All RC samples were collected using a 3-tier riffle splitter over 1 meter intervals, yielding a 2-3 kilogram (“kg”) sample for subsequent assaying. A second split has also been collected from some high grade intervals to use in quality assurance of the sampling process. Assay results from all such field duplicate samples received so far show very good correlation between assays from original and duplicate samples.

The RC holes drilled have been completed using either a 4.5” (114.3mm) or 5” (127mm) drill bit. All Diamond core has been drilled at HQ triple tube size and Sonic core was drilled at 6” (152mm) drill bit. Sample recoveries for the diamond drilling have been logged and recorded.

All phosphate samples have been submitted to either one of two commercial laboratories located in either Mt Isa or Brisbane. The analytical technique used was fused bead XRF, but some samples were also tested using a fused bead ICP method for comparison. All samples were analyzed for P2O5, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO and SiO2.

A series of pulp duplicates were taken at the preparation stage to test for laboratory accuracy and precision with all results showing good correlation and within acceptable limits. A series of matrix matched phosphate reference standards have also been submitted with the samples to ensure accuracy and precision of assaying. The results of these standards came back within acceptable limits.

Results

Legend has received results for 470 of the 476 RC holes drilled. A total of 12,520 metres of drilling is complete with results received so far totalling approximately 12,100 assays.

For all RC drilling a total of more than 250 holes have an intercept of greater than 8% P2O5. As some holes have up to 3 separate intercepts at this grade there is a total of 332 intervals representing three main identified zones within the Project area (see Figure 2). All intercept results were calculated with an 8% minimum P2O5 cut, minimum 2 metre intercept and maximum of 2 metres contiguous internal dilution and are listed in Appendix A.

Table 3 shows all significant intercepts of greater than 25% P2O5. All drilling has been done with vertical holes which, as the deposit is nominally flat lying gives a true width for each mineralized zone. These zones were calculated using a minimum width of two metres and a maximum internal dilution of two contiguous metres. See Appendix A for collar coordinates of these holes. This table represents the drill intercepts that have the greatest potential for delivering high grade direct shipping ore or material that requires little dry beneficiation through crushing, screening or magnetic separation. These high grade zones are clustered in two main areas, North D-Tree and Galah Creek as depicted in figure 2.

Two east-west cross sections through the deposit are also shown in figure 3. The section lines chosen are depicted on figure 2. The sections show the mineralization continuity over east-west widths of 2-3 kilometres and figure 2 shows the continuity in the north-south direction of well over 10 km. These diagrams clearly show the massive extent of the D-Tree mineralization and therefore the approximate magnitude of an exploration target that may exist within any given part of the overall

phosphate deposit area. The deposit is known from historical drilling to extend in north, south and west directions into other landholdings granted or under application by Legend which combine to form the D-Tree project. The D-Tree project currently has a Heads of Agreement in place to form a Joint Venture with Mt Isa Metals Ltd whereby Legend will hold an 80% interest.

Metallurgy

Five large samples of phosphate rock were collected at D-Tree from two historic trenches and one small pit, YT-27, YT-141 and Galah Pit 3; these sites can be seen on figure 2. These trenches and pits were excavated in the 1970’s by IMC Development Corporation for beneficiation testwork. The Legend samples were collected using hand tools (jack hammer and picks) and weighed around 400kg each when shipped.

These five samples are from 3 localised areas within the D-Tree deposit as shown on figure 2 and are not necessarily representative of the entire deposit.

Phosphate rock beneficiation tests on YT27 and YT141 samples have been completed at bench scale using standard comminution and flotation techniques. The beneficiation process consisted of crushing, grinding, scrubbing to remove the -20 micron fraction and flotation. A coarse fraction consisting of particle size -1.18mm to +150 micron and a fine fraction of -150 micron to +20 micron were floated separately giving excellent concentrate grades. Results are tabulated below.

	Concentrate Sample
	YT-27		YT-27(Fe)		YT-141		YT-141(Fe)
Constituent	Coarse	Fine	Coarse	Fine	Coarse	Fine	Coarse	Fine
P2O5 %	32.13	34.10	33.66	33.65	38.61	36.04	38.95	36.09
Fe2O3 %	0.84	0.40	0.53	0.37	0.24	0.58	1.61	4.96
Acid Insol %	12.20	10.12	13.16	8.06	3.29	6.20	2.29	4.17
Flotation Recovery %	67.6	76.0	89.9	87.3	69.1	91.3	41.5	89.2

Table 2: Results from metallurgical test-work

Legend is currently assessing methods of recovering the ultrafine particle fraction (minus 20 micron) using flotation, so that the entire range of particle sizes may be considered as feed to the processing plant. Further test-work is planned using specialised ultrafine particle flotation techniques to increase the phosphate grade and recovery to the concentrate, while optimising iron rejection.

The sample from Galah Creek (Galah Pit 3 on figure 2 below) is an example of potential direct shipping ore. The sample required no beneficiation and when assayed gave results of 38.7% P2O5 and 1.4% combined Fe2O3 and Al2O3.

In partial areas of the D-Tree deposit the elements of iron (Fe2O3) and aluminium (Al2O3) have been identified (in consultation with Legend’s customer and partner IFFCO (Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative)) as possible deleterious elements which may affect the phosphoric acid manufacturing process. The levels of these elements need to be within a certain range and the maximum and minimum limits will be identified in future phosphoric acid tests. Control of these contaminants will be addressed through either selective mining such as areas in part of North D-Tree, which have been identified as having lower levels of these elements, or by using common dry beneficiation techniques such as crushing, screening, ore sorting or magnetic separation. Each phosphate rock deposit around the world is unique and will have its own limits on the levels of deleterious elements which can be acceptable in the phosphoric acid manufacturing process. Individual phosphoric acid plants will also have their own unique specifications. Legend has an advantage in this regard as it has formed a clear expectation as to which plant will be taking its phosphate rock which will be IFFCO’s Paradeep Unit in India. This means testwork on the rock in the near term will be aimed at meeting the Paradeep plants individual requirements.

Trace elements and other impurities such as (but not limited to) cadmium, uranium, lead, fluorine, sodium and magnesium have been tested throughout the deposit and found to exist in quantities that are insignificant to both Legend’s customer and partner IFFCO and in general when compared to other phosphate rock from around the world.

Future Work

Legend will use these results to develop an estimate of the non-reserve mineralized deposit, that is compliant with Australian JORC 2004 and United States SME 2005 guidelines. This estimate will form part of the preliminary work that will be used to inform any future estimates of Probable or Proven Mineral Reserves for the D-Tree Project in conjunction with appropriate mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental modifying factors. Other work will include further drilling around some of the higher grade areas to test for possible direct shipping ore (DSO) or material that requires little dry beneficiation such as crushing, screening or magnetic separation.

Access

Access to the Queensland project areas is by commercial airline to Mount Isa, a mining district in Queensland. From Mount Isa it is approximately 96 kilometres by road via the Barkly Highway, however helicopter is often used due to rugged terrain. Mount Isa has substantial infrastructure, accommodation and other facilities. Between April to November, in the dry season, four wheel drive vehicles can be used on dirt roads.

Government Regulations, Declarations & Conditions

The Company’s exploration operations are subject to federal and state laws and regulations governing the method of acquisition and ownership of mining rights, exploration, development, mining, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances other matters. Federal and State legislation also governs environmental management and native title issues. We are committed to and, to our knowledge, are in compliance with all governmental legislation and regulations.

Mineralization

No known mineral reserves are known on our land in Queensland, however phosphate mineralized material deposits are recorded. Our proposed program will be developed with a view to verify existing data and prove the extent of mineralization. Currently Legend is working towards using the recent drilling results to estimate tones and grade of the non-reserve mineralization. These estimates will be used to inform any future estimates of probable or proven reserves in conjunction with the appropriate modifying factors.

Currently Legend is working towards generating a reserve base at D-Tree following the resource drilling which was completed in December 2008. It is planned to have this reserve finalised before the end of the 2nd Quarter 2009.

Project Strategy

The Company has revised its project strategy for its phosphate project due to the current financial and economic climate. The strategy aims to deliver positive operational cash flow as soon as possible with a reduced capital outlay and the ability to pay for any required infrastructure from this cash flow. To achieve this aim a three stage approach has been adopted:

·	Stage 1 - To focus on drilling near surface, high grade phosphate ore to delineate tonnage of direct shipping grade material that requires little or no beneficiation to export phosphate rock from the D-Tree phosphate deposit by the 4th quarter of 2009.

·	Stage 2 - Ramp up export of phosphate rock to 5 million tonnes per annum by 2012 beginning at the end of 4th quarter 2009, sourced from a combination of either Lady Annie, D-Tree, Lady Jane, Lily & Sherrin Creek or any other phosphate deposits of which Legend has an interest.

·	Stage 3 - Production of value added phosphate fertiliser products such as phosphoric acid, MAP, DAP and TSP.

Legend is now conducting its own studies closely with the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) and various external consultants on all aspects of the project including studies into metallurgy, geology, environment, mining, transport and infrastructure. These studies will form the basis of a final feasibility study.

Worley Parsons is also working in association with Legend on various aspects of the project. Worley Parsons is a major international group with extensive experience offering technical, project and operational support in the resources and energy sector.

Government Requirements for Maintenance of Licences

To ensure that licences are kept in good standing the Company is required to pay the annual rent amount for each licence on its respective anniversary date. The amount due is dependent upon the size and age of the licence. The Company is also required to work the licences and meet the annual expenditure commitments. Annual reporting is required, specifying details of the exploration programme which has occurred and which is anticipated for the following year. Failure to comply would place the licences at risk of cancellation and therefore forfeit the right to explore on that ground.

License Conditions

The Company is required to meet certain standard conditions and obligations as specified by the Queensland Mineral Resources Act, Exploration Permits. These include conducting activities in a way which minimise environmental damage, rehabilitation, avoiding interference with registered native title sites or areas and ensuring compliance with any other relevant legislation. Programmes of Work are to be submitted at the time of application for any ground disturbance or exploration works, the conditions of which are clearly specified and adhered to. Security bonds are payable on the grant of the permits and additional conditions can be imposed by the government State Minister.

Native Title

The rights and obligations of the Company with respect to native title obligations differ depending upon the permit’s proposed impact on the land. All the exploration permit applications held by the company will need to comply with the Native Title Act. The overwhelming majority on permit applications will be advertised under the expedited procedure and require advertising to determine whether there are any objections. If they are no objections, the Queensland Government can grant the permit and will impose the Native Title Protection Conditions on the permit before grant. These conditions ensure that any native title claimants are aware of the proposed exploration work and gives them an opportunity to identify any culturally sensitive areas. If there are objections, the company will need to negotiate an agreement with the native title claimants. Following lodgement of this agreement with the Queensland government the permit will be granted.

Environment

The rights and obligations of the Company with respect to environmental management and rehabilitation are based upon the principles of disturbance minimisation, including such things as preservation of mature trees, preventing the spread of noxious weeds, avoiding the disturbance of waterways and waste management. Rehabilitation is a condition of the Security bond and requires such things as sealing of collars, plugging of casings and replacement of topsoils.

Royalties

The royalty rate for phosphate rock is the higher of the following: (a) 80 cents for each tonne of phosphate rock; or (b) the rate, rounded down to 2 decimal places, for each tonne of phosphate rock worked out using the following formula –

where R is the royalty rate, G is the average P2O5 content of the phosphate rock for the return period, and Pcurr is the average price for the return period, converted to Australian dollars at the average hedge settlement rate for the return period, of Moroccan phosphate rock with 32.3% P2O5 content.

The royalty is payable to the State of Queensland.

Contractual Agreements in relation to Queensland Phosphate Interests

(i)

On November 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Iron Duyfken Pty Ltd to acquire three (3) project areas in the Georgina Basin of Queensland, Australia. Each project hosts a known and well documented, substantial deposit of phosphate rock (Cook, P.J, 1989, Howard, P.F, 1986). These deposits were delineated by earlier work conducted by previous major companies since 1967 and have been named the Lady Annie, Lady Jane and Thorntonia phosphate deposits. The deposits were defined in times when phosphate prices were low. Phosphate prices have risen considerably since those times due to increased world demand especially from China and India. Past feasibility studies on these deposits will be reassessed with a view to commercialization of the deposits, based on current prices. Legend agreed to pay A$500,000 and issue 500,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration.

(ii)

Effective November 7, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Ansett Resources & Industries Pty Ltd to acquire one (1) project area in the Georgina Basin of Queensland, Australia. The project hosts a known and well documented, substantial deposit of phosphate rock (Cook, P.J, 1989, Howard, P.F, 1986). The deposit was delineated by earlier work conducted by previous major companies since 1967 and have been named the D-Tree phosphate deposit. As set out above, the deposit was defined in times when phosphate prices were low. Phosphate prices have risen considerably since those times due to increased world demand especially from China and India. Past feasibility studies on this deposit will be reassessed with a view to commercialization of the deposit, based on current prices. Legend agreed to pay A$300,000 as consideration.

(iii)

We entered into a farm-in and joint venture heads of agreement with King Eagle Resources Pty Limited on December 7, 2007 pursuant to which Legend can earn an 80% interest in phosphate on three tenement blocks named Quita Creek, Highland Plains and Lily and Sherrin creek by spending $3 million on phosphate exploration over five years. Legend has no rights to any other minerals on the three tenement blocks.

(iv)

Effective February 27, 2008, we entered into a Share Sale Agreement whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Teutonic Minerals Pty Ltd. As a result, Teutonic became a subsidiary of the Company from that date. Teutonic held an application for a mineral licence over phosphate in the Georgina Basin in the State of Queensland, Australia which has subsequently been withdrawn, allowing Legend’s application to take priority. The consideration payable to the vendors was A$300,000, and the Company granted a 1% gross revenue royalty from production from the mineral licence.

(v)

On October 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Heads of agreement with Mt. Isa Metals Ltd. (“MET”) for the formation of a Joint Venture (“JV”) over each party’s respective interest in tenements overlying the D-Tree phosphate deposit. Under the JV, Legend will contribute tenements EPM 14753, EPMA’s 17333, 17437, 17443 and 17446, and, MET will contribute tenement EPM 15763 (D-Tree West). Legend will manage and hold an 80% interest in the JV and MET will hold a 20% contributing interest in the JV. Significantly, the JV will also have access to plant and infrastructure at Legend’s 100% owned proposed Lady Annie phosphate development, which lies 9 miles to the east of D-Tree. The Heads of Agreement is to be replaced by a formal JV agreement, which is currently being negotiated.

(vi)

On December 24, 2008, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Elkedra Diamonds Pty Ltd and Uramet Minerals Limited to purchase a 100% interest in EPM 15014, EPM 15015 and application for EPM 17930 for a consideration of A$900,000. The purchase by Legend was subject to a number of pre-conditions including the receipt by the vendors of any necessary consents and approvals required under the Mining Act and approval for the purchase under the Foreign Acquisition and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth). These pre-conditions were satisfied in February 2009 and the purchase by Legend settled. As part of the purchase, all parties provided standard warranties for such a transaction to each other. The tenements covered by this purchase are located immediately north of the Queensland phosphate project and are prospective for phosphate and diamonds.

*1 Please note that some Legend Tenements in the Northern Territory are in the last year of the original tenure. It is possible to extend this after a detailed geological and economic review. However the extension can only be granted by the Department of Mines and Energy (DME), therefore an estimate cannot be given without knowing whether the DME were to grant the extension.

Landholdings

All of Legend’s exploration landholdings (tenements) are held under licence from the Northern Territory Government in Australia. Tenements are granted as either exploration licences or mining leases.

Exploration licences can only be applied for over available ground. Applications consist of a prescribed application form, proposed exploration programme with estimated expenditure and the prescribed application fee. An exploration licence number is assigned when the application is received. The Department then assesses the application to determine whether a company is a suitable candidate and proposes to spend sufficient funds on exploration on the licence. If the Department considers a company to be a suitable candidate, the Department then commences the native title process which involves advertising for the purpose of determining whether there are any objections to the licence being granted. If there are no objections, the licence is granted.

The exploration licence is granted for six years provided the company continues to comply with the licences conditions. There is a statutory requirement to reduce the area of the exploration licence by fifty percent before the end of years two, three, four and five. An application to waive the reduction can be made at the time the reduction is due.

Rent is required to be paid each year in advance. The cost per block is increased by 100% each year after year two.

The exploration licence is due to expire at the end of year six but a renewal application can be lodged prior to the expiry to, if granted, extend the licence for another two years. A summary of work completed on the ground together with a detailed explanation of the work proposed for the ground is required to accompany the renewal application. The rent of the two year period is also required with the renewal application.

If the company proposes to mine a measured resource it will need to apply for a Mineral Lease. As the Exploration Licence holder it has automatic priority to the ground to be the subject of the Mineral Lease. Applications consist of a prescribed application form, details of the proposed development, the financial resources to fund the proposal and the prescribed application fee. A mineral lease number is assigned when the application is received. The Department then assesses the application to determine the suitability of the proposal. The application will then pass through the native title process. An agreement will need to be negotiated with the native title holders/claimants as part of the native title process. The mineral leases must be surveyed before it is granted.

Rent is required to be paid each year in advance.

Geological History and Kimberlite Occurrence in the McArthur River Basin.

The North Australian Craton is one of two principal tectonic domains in the Northern Territory. The dominant tectonic episode for formation of the Craton, reworking the Archaean (or Palaeo-Proterozoic) basement, was the Barramundi Orogeny at 1865-1850Ma. Outcrops of these older deformed and metamorphosed rocks are now surrounded by younger basins.

The McArthur Group is the principal element of cover over the North Australian Craton, composed of mildly deformed and unmetamorphosed Meso-proterozoic (1800-570Ma) dolomitic carbonate, evaporates and sediments. The McArthur River Basin extends over 180,000 square kilometers and its sediments host a number of base metal occurrences including the McArthur Lead-Zinc-Silver shale-hosted deposit; strata-bound, disseminated Lead-Zinc deposits; the Redbank Copper deposits and Cobalt, Uranium and Iron.

The McArthur River Basin is covered by approximately 100 meters of Cambrian Bukalara sandstone and flood basalts in the south. Widespread, young Cretaceous sedimentation covered the region but much has been removed through erosion. One remnant of Cretaceous sediment is host to the Merlin field which represents the youngest volcanic event in the region.

The major structural feature in the McArthur Basin is the north to north-west trending Batten Trough or Batten Fault Zone approximately 70 kilometres wide, to which Legend’s holdings lie to the east. The Trough is bound on the west by the Emu Fault which transects Legend’s holdings in the McArthur River Project. The associated Mallapunyah and Calvert faults are approximately 50 kilometres apart and also trend north-west.

The presence of microdiamonds across the North Australian Craton defies geological boundaries, extending right across its heart. This wide distribution may be due to recycling of the microdiamonds through the younger Cretaceous by fluvial processes. However, an element of high-level fracture control is now evidenced by the Merlin deposits. Since the discovery of the Merlin field, diamond exploration approaches have shifted from Proterozoic mobile belts with little consideration of regional geology, to incorporate the range of fracture zones in the North Australian Craton. The North Australian Craton is extensively underlain by Archaean basement and deep lithospheric, cratonic rocks may be tapped by younger kimberlites as they intrude into these fractures. The Merlin kimberlites are certainly younger than their Cambrian sandstone host, yet older than their Cretaceous cover.

Access

Access to the Northern Territory project areas is by commercial airline to Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. From Darwin it is approximately 950 kilometres by road approximately 2 hours flying time by air. The nearest major town is Borroloola which has limited accommodation and other facilities, where Legend has a base. Access from Borroloola to the drilling sites is normally via helicopter as terrain is rugged. Between April to November, in the dry season, four wheel drive vehicles can be used on dirt roads however, distances from Borroloola to field sites range between 90 and 150 kilometres.

Access to the Queensland project areas is by commercial airline to Mount Isa, a mining district in Queensland. From Mount Isa it is approximately 96 kilometres by road however, helicopter is often used due to rugged terrain. Mount Isa has substantial infrastructure, accommodation and other facilities. Between April to November, in the dry season, four wheel drive vehicles can be used on dirt roads

Exploration History and Forward Work Program

Selby Project

The Selby project is located 100km SW of the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria in the McArthur Basin, adjacent to the Georgina Basin which hosts Legend’s Queensland phosphates. Historically recorded phosphate rock outcrops at surface in recurrent lenses over a 60 kilometre strike. Uranium, which is a common by-product of marine phosphate deposits, accounting for a significant proportion of the world’s Uranium production, is also present.

An historical Open File review of the Selby region has also identified base metal results from stream sampling adjacent to the Karns Dolomite and regional fault systems. Historical data also reveals that the region remains prospective for diamonds. A multi-facetted approach to exploration of the Selby phosphate was established in 2007.

Work completed in 2008 consisted of open file review, project generation, geological mapping, rock chip, stream and loam sampling, diamond and RC drilling. The 2008 exploration programs downgraded the potential of the project to host significantly economic phosphate deposits. However, a recent in-house review of the company’s tenements and ranking them accordingly has identified EL22251 as still being highly prospective for uranium-copper, base metals and diamonds.

The proposed exploration program for 2009 will involve project generation, ground reconnaissance and geological mapping, stream sediment heavy mineral, rock chip and mobile metal ion (MMI) sampling. If the results from these work are positive, an EM and radiometric survey is also planned. For this period, Legend will also progress the 100% surrender of ELs 22246 and 22247, including about 25% surrender of EL 22251 due to the Pungalina and Seven Emu conservation issues.

McArthur River

Legend’s base metal project is situated approximately 20 kilometres south west of Borroloola. The Emu fault zone which runs through Legend’s tenements is a mineralised geological feature hosting the HYC Pyritic Shale base metal prospect and a number of known base metal deposits accounting for 8% of world base metal (lead-zinc-silver) production.

Work completed in 2008 consisted of open file review, project generation, geological mapping, rock chip, soil and MMI sampling, including RC drilling. During this period, some significant results were returned including the identification of two MMI Zinc anomalies at Area A in EL23515. These two discrete Zn anomalies range from 250-400 metres in width, and

connected by a diffused anomaly train along a 900m east-west corridor. Also present are adjacent Pb and Mg MMI anomalies.

This Zn anomaly is interpreted to be contained within the Barney Creek Formation, which is the host unit for base metals in the HYC McArthur River Mine. The McArthur River mine is located ENE of Area A in EL 23515. The Barney Creek Formation at this position of Area A in EL 23515 is indicated as being under recent alluvial and colluvial cover.

The proposed exploration program for 2009 will involve project generation, ground reconnaissance and geological mapping, rock chip, soil and MMI sampling. A ground gravity survey plus a regional geophysical compilation are also planned. For this period and as part of the rationalization of the Northern Territory tenements, Legend will also progress the 100% surrender of ELs 25617, 26175, 26176, 26177 and 22351.

Abner Range

The Abner Range Plateau is approximately 300 kilometers south of Borroloola, west of The Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory. It is host to the diamondiferous Abner Range Kimberlite part of the Merlin diamondiferous intrusive field, only seven kilometres north of Legend’s holdings. Past indicator mineral sampling by Ashton and Rio Tinto has recovered macrodiamonds, microdiamonds and chromite indicator minerals with no primary source yet determined.

Work completed in 2008 consisted of open file review, project generation, geological mapping, rock chip, stream sediment heavy mineral and MMI sampling, including diamond drilling. During this period, coincident Cu, Mo, Mg, Ni and Zn MMI and gravity low anomalies were identified in the north east corner of EL 23514. These anomalies are interpreted to relate to small ultramafic rock units of possible kimberlitic affinity, and intruded into basement structural features. These anomalies have been proposed for possible RAB drilling to validate their significance.

The proposed exploration program for 2009 will involve open file review, project generation, ground reconnaissance and geological mapping, stream sediment heavy mineral, rock chip and MMI sampling. A regional geophysical compilation for the project is also planned. For this period and as part of the rationalization of the Northern Territory tenements, Legend will also progress the 100% surrender of EL 23116.

Glyde Project

The Glyde River is in the Batten Trough and hosts 40 kilometres of alluvial gravels sourced from numerous diamond bearing catchments including the entire Merlin diamond field. The pipes in the Merlin field are located on the eastern shoulder of the Battern Trough only six kilometres east of the Emu Fault. They have intruded the Cambrian Bukalara sandstone and were emplaced around the time of the Alice Springs Orogeny.

The Legend tenement is north of the HYC Pyritic Shale base metal prospect and this geological unit has been intersected in several drill holes. CRAE has explored the tenement area for kimberlite. Ashton collected two bulk samples from separate drainages and had diamond responses. Helicopter magnetics and EM covered the northern part of the tenement as part of Rio Tinto’s exploration around the Merlin pipe field.

Airborne Electro-Magnetic (“EM”), magnetic and gravity surveys flown in late 2006 have identified numerous EM, gravity & magnetic anomalies and grid-based loam samples were taken as follow up to this result and of other targets.

Work completed in 2008 consisted of open file review, project generation, geological mapping, stream sediment heavy mineral and MMI sampling. During this period, several areas prospective for kimberlitic pipes were identified along the Merlin - Glyde North (EL 23121) - Tintagel - Glyde South (EL 23511) structural corridor, and from possible NNE-SSW cross faults.

The proposed exploration program for 2009 will involve open file review, project generation, ground reconnaissance and geological mapping, lag, stream sediment heavy mineral, and MMI sampling. An airborne EM and gravity survey and a regional geophysical compilation for the project are also planned.

Foelsche Project

Legend’s Foelsche Project tenements lie east of the Glyde Project and Merlin diamond field. They are bound by regional scale faults which act as fluid conduits for mineralisation and have uplifted basement rocks up to lie against younger sandstones. The area contains historical trains of kimberlite indicator minerals in streams draining the area.

In 2005, airborne EM/magnetics were flown by Astro which identified priority geophysical anomalies. These were investigated with ground gravity surveys and RC/diamond drill holes in 2006. The source of the geophysical anomalies was attributed to depressions in the Proterozoic sandstone bedrock which were infilled by younger Cretaceous/Tertiary sediment. Similar infill sequences are known to typically occur over kimberlites in the region.

Work completed in 2008 consisted of open file review, project generation, geological mapping, soil, lag, rock chip, stream sediment heavy mineral and MMI sampling. Diamond drilling and a geophysical data review were also completed during this period. At EL 23510, an MMI survey identified Cu-Mg-Zn and Co-Ni anomalies spread along certain parts of a northwest trending uplifted fault block. These anomalies are interpreted to represent contrasting chemistries between possible kimberlitic intrusives and the host Proterozoic sedimentary rocks

The proposed exploration program for 2009 will involve open file review, project generation, ground reconnaissance and geological mapping, soil, rock chip and MMI sampling. An airborne EM and gravity survey and a regional geophysical compilation for the project are also planned.

Cox Project

The Cox Project is located about 150km west of the Merlin diamond field. Historical Open File Research has indicated that there are two key areas of concentration of diamonds and indicator minerals, one within EL 22297. Previous work by Ashton involved bulk sampling and grid loaming in order to locate a source. The grid sampling was carried out at 500m spacing in some areas, and 1km in others. Chromites and micro diamonds are distributed along a parallel north trending structures in the northern areas of the tenements

Exploration carried out over the Cox Project has included site investigations to verify historical sampling results, a compilation and analysis of historic exploration data from open-

file reports and multi-client airborne magnetic data with a view to developing an appropriate exploration strategy.

Work completed in 2008 essentially involved the follow-up of the 2006 targets that were identified through an open file review. Other work included project generation, geological mapping, GIS compilation and soil sampling.

The proposed exploration program for 2009 will involve project generation, ground reconnaissance and geological mapping, stream sediment heavy mineral, soil, rock chip and MMI sampling. The recognition of non-kimberlitic chromites in EL 22295 and EL 22296 was significant. It appears that these chromites have come from the weathering of the Cox Formation, which overlies the Bukalara Sandstone. This observation alone is enough to suggest that the source of these indicators is the Cambrian volcanic rocks not a later kimberlite.

The above interpretation has allowed the process of surrendering further ELs 22295, 22296 and 23126. ELAs 22294, 23127, 25612 and 25613 were also surrendered as part of the rationalization process. This exercise will allow the exploration program to focus in more prospective ELs in the Cox Project, particularly to those ELs surrounding the Gravity Diamonds tenement, which contain kimberlites.

Government Regulations, Declarations & Conditions

Mineralisation

No known mineral reserves are known on our land in the Northern Territory. Our previous and proposed programs are exploratory in nature.

Government Requirements for Maintenance of Licences

Licence Conditions

The Company is required to meet certain standard conditions and obilgations as specified by the Northern Territory Of Australia Mining Act, Exploration Licence. These include conducting activities in a way which minimise environmental damage, rehabilitiation, avoiding interference with registered native title sites or areas and ensuring compliance with any other relevant legislation. Mine Management Plans are to be submitted for any ground disturbance or exploration works, the conditions of which are to be clearly specified for approval and adhered to. Security bonds are payable on Mine Management plans and additional conditions can be imposed by the government State or Territory Minister.

Native Title

The rights and obligations of the Company with respect to native title obligations differ between licences depending upon the underlying ownership of the land. Crown land, namely pastoral lease land, falls under the Native Title Act while Aboriginal freehold land falls under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (Northern Territory). All the granted licences held by the Company are on pastoral lease land. The Company is currently in negotiations with the local native title council working towards the grant of several more applications that are situated on aboriginal freehold land. Heritage surveys are contracted where necessary to ensure the protection of local registered and unregistered aboriginal heritage sites.

Environment

Royalties

Certain of the tenements have a 1% gross revenue royalty payable to an external party from all mineral production derived on the tenements.

Acquisition of Northern Territory Tenements

Effective as of March 3, 2006, Legend entered into a Contract for the Sale of Mining Tenements (“Contract”) with Astro Diamond Mines N.L. (“Astro”) an Australian company pursuant to which the Company acquired certain diamond mining tenements in Northern Australia from Astro. The consideration payable by Legend to Astro was Australian dollars $1.5 million and Legend was also required to pay to Astro any costs incurred on the tenements after February 1, 2006. Astro provided commercial warranties which are usual for a transaction of this nature in favour of Legend. Under Australian law, Astro was required to provide an independent experts report to shareholders for this transaction. In order to prepare the independent experts report, a mineral valuation was prepared on behalf of Astro which indicated that the preferred value for the tenements that are the subject of the transaction was A$1.5 million. This formed the basis of the consideration agreed by the parties. The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. J. I. Gutnick was Chairman and Managing Director of Astro at the time of entering into the Contract and Dr DS Tyrwhitt, an independent Director of the Company, who is also a Director of Astro and was a Director of Astro at the time of entering into the Contract. The tenements are located in the Northern Territory of Australia and are prospective for diamonds.

Employees

The services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer & Secretary, Executive General Manager and Project Manager as well as geological, finance and clerical employees are provided to us pursuant to a Service Agreement effective December 1, 2004 (the “Service Agreement”) by and between AXIS Consultants Pty Limited and ourselves. AXIS also provides office facilities, equipment, administration and clerical services to the Company pursuant to the Service Agreement. The Service Agreement may be terminated by written notice from the parties thereto.

Further detail relating to additional terms of the Service Agreement is included in “Item 2- Properties”, “Item 12- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” and “Item 11 - Executive Compensation”.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

We Lack an Operating History And Have Losses Which We Expect To Continue Into the Future.

To date we have had no material source of revenue. We have no operating history as a mineral exploration or mining company upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

-	exploration and development of any mineral property we identify;

-	our ability to locate economically viable mineral reserves in any mineral property we identify; and

-	our ability to generate revenues and profitably operate a mine on any mineral property we identify.

We Have No Mineral Reserves And We Cannot Assure You That We Will Find Such Reserves. If We Develop A Mineral Reserve, There Is No Guarantee That Production Will Be Profitable.

We cannot guarantee we will ever find any or that we will be successful in locating commercial mineral reserves on any exploration properties that we may obtain. Even if we find a commercial mineral reserve, there is no assurance that we will be able to mine them. Even if we develop a mine, there is no assurance that we will make a profit. If we do not find commercial minerals you could lose part or all of your investment.

We May Need Further Financing To Determine If There Is Commercial Minerals, Develop Any Minerals We Identify And To Maintain The Mineral Claims.

Our success may depend on our ability to raise further capital. We may require further substantial additional funds to conduct mineral exploration and development activities on all of our tenements. There is no assurance whatsoever that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us to make investments. If funds are not available in the amounts required to achieve our business strategy, we would be unable to reach our objective. This could cause the loss of all or part of your investment.

World Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

In 2008 and 2009, world economic conditions have experienced a downturn due to the sequential effects of the subprime lending crisis, general credit market crisis, the general unavailability of financing, collateral effects on the finance and banking industries, volatile energy and commodity costs, concerns about inflation, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions, increased unemployment and liquidity concerns. These adverse conditions may make it harder for the Company to raise additional funds to finance the continued development of its business and may reduce the demand for phosphate, which, at least in the short term, could reduce the value of the Company's mineral exploration properties. Continued adverse economic conditions could adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

We Could Encounter Delays Due To Regulatory And Permitting Delays.

We could face delays in obtaining mining permits and environmental permits. Such delays, could jeopardize financing, if any, in which case we would have to delay or abandon work on the properties.

There Are Uncertainties Inherent In The Estimation Of Mineral Reserves.

Reserve estimates, including the economic recovery of ore, will require us to make assumptions about recovery costs and market prices. Reserve estimation is, by its nature, an imprecise and subjective process and the accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation, judgment and experience. The economic feasibility of properties will be based upon our estimates of the size and grade of ore reserves, metallurgical recoveries, production rates, capital and operating costs, and the future price of diamonds. If such estimates are incorrect or vary substantially it could affect our ability to develop an economical mine and would reduce the value of your investment.

If We Define An Economic Ore Reserve And Achieve Production, It Will Decline In The Future. An Ore Reserve Is A Wasting Asset.

Our future ore reserve and production, if any, will decline as a result of the exhaustion of reserves and possible closure of any mine that might be developed. Eventually, at some unknown time in the future, all of the economically extractable ore will be removed from the properties, and there will be no ore remaining unless this Company is successful in near mine site exploration to extend the life of the mining operation. This is called depletion of reserves. Ultimately, we must acquire or operate other properties in order to continue as an on going business. Our success in continuing to develop reserves, if any, will affect the value of your investment.

There Are Significant Risks Associated With Mining Activities.

The mining business is generally subject to risks and hazards, including quantity of production, quality of the ore, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, the encountering of unusual or unexpected geological formations, cave-ins, flooding, earthquakes and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, our mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, reduced production and delays in mining, asset write-downs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. We could incur significant costs that could adversely affect our results of operation. Insurance fully covering many environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to us or to other companies in the industry. What liability insurance we carry may not be adequate to cover any claim.

We May Subject To Significant Environmental And Other Governmental Regulations That Can Require Substantial Capital Expenditure, And Can Be Time-Consuming.

We may be required to comply with various laws and regulations pertaining to exploration, development and the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment in the countries that we operate, all of which can increase the costs and time required to attain operations. We may have to obtain exploration, development and environmental permits, licenses or approvals that may be required for our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining, if required, a permit to commence exploration, development and operation, or that such permit can be obtained in a timely basis. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining the required permits it may adversely affect our ability to carry on business and cause you to lose part or all of your investment.

Mining Accidents Or Other Adverse Events At Our Property Could Reduce Our Production Levels.

If and when we reach production it may fall below estimated levels as a result of mining accidents, cave-ins or flooding on the properties. In addition, production may be unexpectedly reduced if, during the course of mining, unfavourable ground conditions or seismic activity are encountered, ore grades are lower than expected, or the physical or metallurgical characteristics of the ore are less amenable to mining or processing than expected. The happening of these types of events would reduce our profitably or could cause us to cease operations which would cause you to lose part or all of your investment.

The acquisition of mineral properties is subject to substantial competition. If we must pursue alternative properties, companies with greater financial resources, larger staffs, more experience, and more equipment for exploration and development may be in a better position than us to compete for properties. We may have to undertake greater risks than more established companies in order to compete which could affect the value of your investment.

We May Lose Our Claims If We Do No Maintain A Minimum Level of Work On The Claims

We will be required to carry out a minimum level of work on each claim to maintain of our claims in good standing. If we cannot afford to carry out the work or pay the fees we could lose our interest in claims. The loss of some or all of our mineral claims would adversely affect the value of your investment.

We are substantially dependent upon AXIS Consultants To Carry Out Our Activities

We are substantially dependent upon AXIS for our senior management, financial and accounting, corporate legal and other corporate headquarters functions. For example, each of our officers is employed by AXIS and, as such, is required by AXIS to devote substantial amounts of time to the business and affairs of the other shareholders of AXIS.

Pursuant to a services agreement, AXIS provides us with office facilities, administrative personnel and services, management and geological staff and services. No fixed fee is set in the agreement and we are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for us. In addition, we pay a proportion of AXIS indirect costs based on a measure of our utilization of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and indirect costs. This service agreement may be terminated by us or AXIS on 60 days’ notice. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

We are one of eight affiliated companies. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. In addition, each of the companies is substantially dependent upon AXIS for its senior management and certain mining and exploration staff. A number of arrangements and transactions have been entered into from time to time between such companies. Currently, there are no material arrangements or planned transactions between the Company and any of the other affiliated companies other than AXIS. However, it is possible we may enter into such transactions in the future which could present conflicts of interest.

Future Sales of Common Stock Could Depress The Price Of Our Common Stock

Future sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock by certain stockholders could have a material adverse impact on the market price for the Common Stock at the time. As of the date of this annual report, there are 226,315,392 shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock are restricted securities. Restricted securities will be available for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In general, under rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six-month holding period and who is not an affiliate of the Company may sell restricted securities without limitation as long as the Company is current in its SEC reports. A person who is an affiliate of the Company may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities which does not exceed the greater of one (1%) percent of the shares outstanding or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the notice of sale required by Rule 144. In addition, Rule 144 permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of restricted securities by a non-affiliate without any limitations after a one-year holding period. Any sales of shares by stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the price of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock Is Traded Over the Counter, Which May Deprive Stockholders Of The Full Value Of Their Shares

Our Common Stock is quoted via the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). As such, our Common Stock may have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for the Common Stock.

A Low Market Price May Severely Limit The Potential Market For Our Common Stock

Our Common Stock is currently trading at a price substantially below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock.

The Market Price Of Your Shares Will Be Volatile.

The stock market price of mineral exploration companies like us has been volatile. Securities markets may experience price and volume volatility. The market price of our stock may experience wide fluctuations that could be unrelated to our financial and operating results. Such volatility or fluctuations could adversely affect your ability to sell your shares and the value you might receive for those shares.

Item 1B.

Unresolved Staff Comments.

As of December 31, 2008, we do not have any Securities and Exchange Commission staff comments that have been unresolved for more than 180 days.

Item 2.

Properties.

Shareholders

As of January 31, 2009, there were approximately 1,273 record holders of the Company's Common Stock. Within the holders of record of the Company's Common Stock are depositories such as Cede & Co., a nominee for The Depository Trust Company (or DTC), that hold shares of stock for brokerage firms which, in turn, hold shares of stock for one or more beneficial owners. Accordingly, the Company believes there are many more beneficial owners of its Common Stock whose shares are held in "street name", not in the name of the individual shareholder.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

General

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operation should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to our business. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such a s believes, intends, expects, hopes, may, should, plan, projected, contemplates, anticipates or similar words. Actual operating schedules, results of operations, ore grades and mineral deposit estimates and other projections and estimates could differ materially form those projected in the forward-looking statements.

We are an exploration stage company. Our principal exploration target is for phosphate. We are in the initial stages of our exploration program and we have not yet identified any ore reserves. We have not generated any material revenues from operations

Foreign Currency Translation

The majority of our administrative operations are in Australia and, as a result, our accounts are reported in Australian dollars. Foreign income and expenses are translated into Australian dollars at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at the period-end exchange rate. The following table shows the period-end rates of exchange of the Australian and US dollar compared with the US dollar during the periods indicated. During the year, the Company had significant US$ cash balances which when converted to Australian dollars results in a large foreign exchange gain.

Year ended
December 31

2006	A$1.00	=	US$0.7893
2007	A$1.00	=	US$0.8767
2008	A$1.00	=	US$0.6907

The exchange rate between the A$ and US$ has moved by 21.22% between December 31, 2007 and 2008 and by 11.07% between December 31, 2006 and 2007 . Accordingly, a direct comparison of costs between fiscal 2007 and 2008 and between 2006 and 2007 may not necessarily be a true comparison.

Plan of Operation

We had A$119,277,536 in cash at December 31, 2008.

On June 3, 2008, Legend issued 42,000,000 shares of common stock at a placement price of US$2.50 per share raising A$110,028,293 (US$105,000,000). The direct costs of the offering totalled A$5,920,448..During the third quarter of 2008, 5,000,000 options were exercised at a price of US$2.50 per share . The total amount received was A$13,672,091 (US$12,350,000).

We commenced exploration activities on the tenements we acquired in July 2006 and since that time and up to December 31, 2008, have spent A$17,723,422 on exploration and pre-development activities. We plan to continue our exploration and pre-development program throughout 2009 and anticipate spending A$36.4 million on exploration and pre-development (including A$7.4 million for capital items for exploration and pre-development) A$3 million on investments and A$9 million on administrative costs.

As set out in Item 1 “Employees” the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Manager Development and Resources, geologists, finance and clerical employees are provided by AXIS. At the current time, we have no plans to change these arrangements or employ any further persons.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2008 versus Year ended December 31, 2007

As an exploration company, we do not have an ongoing source of revenue. Our revenue stream is normally from ad-hoc tenement disposals and interest received on cash in bank. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we received A$3,719,371 (US$2,568,969) in interest on funds in the bank (2007: A$22,183) and other income of A$6,534 (US$4,513) (2007: A$nil). The increase in interest income is a result of the higher level of cash reserves we held during the year following the equity raisings from Atticus in December 2007, from the share placement arranged by BMO in June 2008 and following the exercise of options by IFFCO in July 2008.

Costs and expenses increased during the year from A$8,539,934 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to A$23,337,215 (US$16,119,014) for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The main components of costs and expenses are as follows:-

(i)

An increase in exploration expenditure written off from A$5,132,000 in 2007 to A$8,780,037 (US$6,064,372) in 2008. Our accounting policy is to expense all exploration costs (including costs associated with the acquisition of tenement interests) as incurred. During 2008, we conducted a significant drilling program at our phosphate project in Queensland and a detailed sampling program in the Northern Territory. On our Queensland phosphate project, we also commenced early stage investigations into a mining operation. The costs included drilling, assaying, camp costs, aerial surveying, geological/geophysical contractors, salaries and associated costs for contract field staff, travel, accommodation, meals and tenement holding costs. During 2008, we incurred A$3,729,592 in costs for exploration drilling on our tenements in the Northern Territory. The costs included drilling, helicopter support, geological/geophysical contractors, salaries and associated costs for contract field staff, travel, accommodation, meals and tenement holding costs. During 2007, we used drillers almost continuously on our exploration program. In December 2007, we entered into agreements to purchase exploration permits in Queensland. The purchase price of A$1,318,000 included cash of A$800,000, and shares with a value of A$518,000. The total cost has been expensed as part of exploration costs. We have spent A$84,408 since entering into the agreements on purchasing and reviewing data for the permits.

(ii)

An decrease in interest expense from A$62,196 in 2007 to A$32,715 (US$22,596) in 2008. During 2008, we incurred interest on the camp lease and motor vehicle finance leases. During 2007, we incurred A$25,235 for interest on the camp lease; A$1,807 motor vehicle finance lease; A$14,683 charged by AXIS on outstanding amounts owing under the Service Agreement, which was repaid in June 2007; A$16,774 charged by Astro on amounts owed for exploration expenditure incurred by Astro, which was repaid in March 2007, and A$3,697 for short term funds used to maintain the Company’s activities. AXIS provides management and geological services to us pursuant to a Service Agreement dated December 2004. AXIS and Astro charged interest at a rate of 10.10% during 2007.

(iii)

An increase in aircraft maintenance costs from A$nil in 2007 to A$278,826 (US$192,585) in 2008. The Company purchased a lear jet from AXIS in August 2008 to utilize in its field operations at a price of A$1,210,000 (A$1,100,000 which was based on an external valuation plus 10% GST with GST being refundable from the Australian Government subject to compliance with tax laws) and has incurred operating costs for the jet since that time. There was no comparable cost in 2007.

(iv)

An increase in legal, professional and accounting from A$213,063 for 2007 to A$707,444 (US$488,632) for 2008.

All fees have increased from 2007 as a result of increased activity by the Company as a consequence of the acquisition of mining tenements, capital raising activities and preparation of the Form SB-2 Registration Statement. During 2007, we incurred legal expenses of A$91,483 for general legal work including stock transfer matters, regulatory filings, stock option plans and Form SB-2 Registration Statement; audit fees of A$62,049 for professional services in relation to financial statements, the quarterly Form 10-QSBs, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-K and Form SB-2; and A$59,531 for a stock transfer agent and regulatory filing fees.

(v)	A net gain of A$70,874 (US$48,953) on revaluation of securities was incurred at December 2008 on certain trading securities purchased during 2008 being the difference between the costs price and market value at December 31, 2008. There were no trading securities held at December 31, 2007.

(vi)

An increase in impairment of investment from A$nil in 2007 to A$326,526 (US$225,532) in 2008. On February 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Teutonic Minerals Pty Ltd. As a result, Teutonic became a subsidiary of the Company from that date. Teutonic held an application for a mineral licence over phosphate in the Georgina Basin in the State of Queensland, Australia. The consideration payable to the vendors was A$300,000, and the Company granted the vendors a 1% gross revenue royalty from production from the mineral licence and incurred legal costs of A$26,526.The mineral licence application held by Teutonic was withdrawn on March 17, 2008 and replaced by a mineral application lodged by the Company. Teutonic had no other assets or liabilities. As at December 31, 2008 the net assets and liabilities acquired by the Company have no value. The consideration and legal costs of A$326,526 paid by the Company are included as impairment of investment in the Statement of Operations.

The total amount received was A$13,672,091 (US$12,350,000) and the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock.

The total remaining proceeds amount to US$88 million, and when exercised will be utilized to fund expenditure related to the Company’s phosphate project.

The Company accounts for these options as a financing activity and accordingly, records all proceeds upon exercise of such options within stockholders’ equity.

The Share Options Agreement also gives IFFCO a pre-emptive right to acquire its pro rata share of future issuances of Common Stock by the Company, with certain exceptions.

Pursuant to the Shares Option Agreement, the parties agreed to enter into a long-term rock off-take agreement, which shall be separately negotiated but which shall be based on certain principles which were previously described in the Company’s Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The Company is considered to be an exploration stage company, with no significant revenue, and is dependent upon the raising of capital through placement of its Common Stock, preferred stock or debentures. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in raising such capital, it may never commence active operations.

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information that is required to be disclosed in the reports it files with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time period specified by the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing, maintaining and enhancing these controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

PKF, Certified Public Accountants, A Professional Corporation, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their report on their audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2008, a copy of which is included herein.

(b) Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Legend International Holdings, Inc.

We have audited Legend International Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Legend International Holdings, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, based upon the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (3) receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (4) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Legend International Holdings, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheet of Legend International Holdings, Inc as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the cumulative amounts from inception, January 5, 2001 through December 31, 2008 and our report dated September 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

Our executive compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and our other executive officers (including up to three of our executive officers whose total compensation exceeds $100,000 per annum), whom we collectively refer to as our named executive officers, consists of (i) base salary and (ii) incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses and (iii) equity-based incentive compensation awards under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Our executive compensation program has historically included and continues to include very few perquisites. In August 2008 the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a Compensation Committee which is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation paid by us to the named executive officers. Prior thereto, compensation decisions were determined by the full Board of Directors. The services of our named executive officers are provided to us under a Service Agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd. Cash compensation is paid to the named executive officers by AXIS and is reimbursed to AXIS by the Company.

Compensation Objectives

The Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to establish executive compensation policies linked to the creation of stockholder value. Our compensation program is designed to:

•

Adequately and fairly compensate executive officers in relation to their responsibilities, capabilities and contributions to the Company and in a manner that is commensurate with compensation paid by companies of comparable size and at a comparable stage of development within our industry;

•

Align the interests of the executive officers with those of the stockholders with respect to short-term operating goals and long-term increases in the value of our common stock; and

•

Provide a strong emphasis on equity-based compensation and equity ownership, creating a direct link between stockholder and management interests.

These objectives serve as the guiding principles for all the decisions the Compensation Committee makes with respect to the amount and type of compensation payable to our named executive officers.

Mix of Compensation Elements

Our executive compensation during fiscal 2008 consisted of base salary, cash bonuses, grants under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, benefits and perquisites. We do not have any formal or informal policy or target for allocating compensation between long-term and short term compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation or among the different forms of non-cash compensation. Similarly, compensation decisions regarding one compensation component do not directly affect decisions regarding other compensation elements. For example, an increase to the base salary of a named executive officer does not require a formulaic decrease to another element of the executive’s compensation. Instead, we have determined subjectively on a case-by-case basis the appropriate level and mix of the various compensation components.

We believe that together all of our compensation components provide a balanced mix of base compensation and compensation that is contingent upon each executive officer’s individual performance and our overall performance. A goal of the compensation program is to provide executive officers with a reasonable level of security through base salary and benefits, while rewarding them through incentive compensation to achieve business objectives and create stockholder value. We believe that each of our compensation components is critical in achieving this goal. Base salaries provide executives with a base level of monthly income and security. Annual cash bonuses motivate executives to drive our development goals. Long-term equity incentive awards link the interests of our executives with our stockholders, which motivates our executives to create stockholder value. In addition, we want to ensure that our compensation programs are appropriately designed to encourage executive officer retention, which is accomplished through all of our compensation elements.

Components of Compensation

Base Salary. The base salaries for the Company’s named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2008 were established prior to fiscal 2008 and reviewed effective June 2008 by AXIS with the consultation and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. The services of our named executive officers are provided to us under a Service Agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd. Cash compensation is paid to the named executive officers by AXIS and is reimbursed to AXIS by the Company. AXIS advised that adjustments to base salaries are generally determined based upon a number of factors, including the client companies performance (to the extent such can fairly be attributed or related to each executive’s performance), as well as the nature of each executive’s responsibilities, capabilities and contributions, and whether their salary fairly reflect job responsibilities and prevailing market conditions and rates of pay. AXIS advised that it considered each of these factors but did not assign a specific value to each factor in raising base salaries for 2008. The Company believes that the remuneration (including salaries) charged to the Company by AXIS for the Company’s named executive officers have historically been reasonable in relation to the Company’s size and performance in comparison with the compensation paid by similarly sized companies or companies within the Company’s industry. AXIS has advised that the level of remuneration charged to the Company for the named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased significantly over 2007 as a result of the significant increase in time spent by those named executive officers with the development of the phosphate project of the Company, the capital raising activities and corporate compliance matters dealt with as a result of the increase in the level of activity. The Company acknowledged the increase in activity referred to by AXIS and believes the increase in the level of remuneration appropriate given the circumstances.

Cash Bonuses AXIS with the acknowledgement of the Company, awarded cash bonuses to the Company’s named executive officers in June 2008 to acknowledge the significant work undertaken by the named executives of the Company in advancing the phosphate project of the Company for the benefit of shareholders. The bonuses were not based on a predetermined formula. The Company’s independent director at the time, was consulted on the bonuses and determined that the bonuses were reasonable given the overall advancement of the Company’s activities.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, certain management and key employees of the Company are granted time-based options to purchase common stock issued by us. Time-based options generally vest ratably over a three-year period on the anniversary of the date of the grant. Time-based options generally vest upon a change of control, subject to certain conditions, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Our Board of Directors believes that equity-based compensation awards foster and promote our long-term financial success by linking the interests of our executive management team with our stockholders. The Board also believes that increasing the personal equity stake of our executive officers in our continued success and growth can potentially materially increase stockholder value. Equity-based compensation awards also enable us to attract and retain the services of an outstanding management team, upon which the success of our operations are largely dependent.

In February 2008, the Company awarded the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, 5, 000,000 options under the Company’s Incentive Option Plan to provide him with a long term incentive to develop the Company and its exploration properties into mining properties thus underpinning the financial viability of the Company. The Company’s independent director at the time, was consulted and approved the issue of the options.

Benefits and Perquisites

We also offer to certain executives limited perquisites as a method of compensation and provide executive officers with only those perquisites that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The perquisites provided to the named executive officers include vehicle allowances and superannuation and are quantified in the Summary Compensation Table below.

In accordance with the laws of Australia, AXIS pays an amount equal to 9% of a named executives base salary into superannuation. Executives have the ability to make further contributions to a superannuation fund. Furthermore, in accordance with the laws of Australia, the named executives have the ability to direct superannuation contributions to a superannuation fund of their choosing. Superannuation funds are accumulation funds and are not defined benefit funds, therefore, AXIS nor the Company has a legal obligation to the superannuation funds other than remitting contributions, which AXIS have advised have been made to superannuation funds as required by law.

Accounting and Tax Treatment

The accounting treatment of our compensation plans is not a significant factor in how we design our executive compensation plans. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally denies publicly-held corporations a federal income tax deduction for compensation exceeding $1,000,000 paid to named executive officers, excluding performance-based compensation. Through December 31, 2008, we have not paid compensation to any of our named executive officers in excess of $1,000,000, excluding performance-based compensation, thus Section 162(m) has not limited our ability to deduct executive compensation, however the Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the potential impact of this provision on our ability to deduct executive compensation.

Elements of Post-Termination Compensation

The Company does not currently have a severance plan or similar agreement with any named executive officers. Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, upon a merger, reorganization, or sale of the Company, the Committee may (i) provide that any or all options are exercisable in full; (ii) provide for the substitution of any or all options by a successor or purchaser Company; or (iii) make any other provision for outstanding options as the Committee deems appropriate. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, (other than termination for cause) he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in the option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Upon a change in control, all outstanding options become fully vested and exercisable.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company does not have stock ownership guidelines for its named executives; however, the Committee considers the number of options previously granted to named executives in determining whether to grant additional options and in what amounts.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee, comprised of independent directors, reviewed and discussed the above Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the Company’s management. Based on that review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of options. The maximum number of shares available for awards is 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on issue at any time. If an option expires or is cancelled without having been fully exercised or vested, the remaining shares will generally be available for grants of other awards.

The 2006 Plan is administered by the Board comprised solely of directors who are not employees or consultants to Legend or any of its affiliated entities.

Any employee, director, officer, consultant of or to Legend or an affiliated entity (including a company that becomes an affiliated entity after the adoption of the 2006 Plan) is eligible to participate in the 2006 Plan if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such person has contributed significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to the success of Legend or an affiliated entity. During any one year period, no participant is eligible to be granted options to purchase more than 5% shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock or if they provide investor relations activities, or are a consultant to the Company, 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in any 12 month period.

Options granted under the 2006 Plan are to purchase Legend Common Stock. The term of each option will be fixed by the Board, but no option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. The option exercise price is fixed by the Board at the time the option is granted. The exercise price must be paid in cash. Options granted to participants vest and have a term of 10 years.

No award is transferable, or assignable by the participant except upon his or her death.

The Board may amend the 2006 Plan, except that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of a participant without the participant’s consent or be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to qualify for or comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation the Board deems necessary or desirable to qualify for or comply with.

Subject to earlier termination by the Board, the 2006 Plan has an indefinite term except that no ISO may be granted following the tenth anniversary of the date the 2006 Plan is approved by stockholders.

Other than the issue of these Options, there are no other current plans or arrangements to grant any options under the 2006 Plan.

Compensation Pursuant to Plans

The Company does not have any pension or profit sharing plans. The Company does not have any employees and therefore has no superannuation obligations.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

In December 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd to provide geological, management and administration services to the Company. AXIS is affiliated through common management. We are one of eight affiliated companies. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. In addition, each of the companies is substantially dependent upon AXIS for its senior management and certain mining and exploration staff. A number of arrangements and transactions have been entered into from time to time between such companies. It has been the intention of the affiliated companies and respective Boards of Directors that each of such arrangements or transactions should accommodate the respective interest of the relevant affiliated companies in a manner which is fair to all parties and equitable to the shareholders of each. Currently, there are no material arrangements or planned transactions between the Company and any of the other affiliated companies other than AXIS.

AXIS is a company owned by its public companies (including Legend) and any profits generated by AXIS are returned to its shareholders in the form of dividends.

AXIS is paid by each company for the costs incurred by it in carrying out the administration function for each such company. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, AXIS performs such functions as payroll, maintaining employee records required by law and by usual accounting procedures, providing insurance, legal, human resources, company secretarial, land management, certain exploration and mining support, financial, accounting advice and services. AXIS procures items of equipment necessary in the conduct of the business of the Company. AXIS also provides for the Company various services, including but not limited to the making available of office supplies, office facilities and any other services as may be required from time to time by the Company as and when requested by the Company.

We are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for the Company. In addition, we are required to pay a proportion of AXIS’s overhead cost based on AXIS’s management estimate of our utilisation of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and overhead costs. Amounts invoiced by AXIS are required to be paid by us. We are also not permitted to obtain from sources other than AXIS, and we are not permitted to perform or provide ourselves, the services contemplated by the Service Agreement, unless we first requests AXIS to provide the service and AXIS fails to provide the service within one month.

The Service Agreement may be terminated by AXIS or us upon 60 days prior notice. If the Service Agreement is terminated by AXIS, we would be required to independently provide, or to seek an alternative source of providing, the services currently provided by AXIS. There can be no assurance that we could independently provide or find a third party to provide these services on a cost-effective basis or that any transition from receiving services under the Service Agreement will not have a material adverse effect on us. Our inability to provide such services or to find a third party to provide such services may have a material adverse effect on our operations.

In accordance with the Service Agreement AXIS provides the Company with the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, geologists and clerical employees, as well as office facilities, equipment, administrative and clerical services. We pay AXIS for the actual costs of such facilities plus a maximum service fee of 15%.

During 2007, AXIS charged the Company A$1,126,311 in management fees including salaries incurred in relation to AXIS staff that provided services to the Company, A$834,552 for exploration services provided to the Company, A$151,800 for asset usage, interest of A$14,683 and we repaid A$2,432,687. AXIS charged interest at a rate of 10.10% for 2007. The amount owed to AXIS at December 31, 2007 was A$6,912. During 2008, AXIS charged the Company A$5,413,203 in management and administration services including salaries incurred in relation to AXIS staff that provided services to the Company and A$2,224,638 for exploration services provided to the Company. The Company placed on deposit with AXIS funds amounting to A$699,638 to acquire two properties in Mt Isa, which is the base for the

Company’s phosphate project, to be used to accommodate AXIS employees and consultants when working in Mt Isa and relocating to the field operations. The Company also purchased a lear jet owned by AXIS (at cost to AXIS) amounting to A$1,210,000 which includes 10% GST and was based on an independent valuation, to utilize in its field operations; and a residential property at a value of A$900,000 (cost to AXIS) used to accommodate AXIS employees when visiting field operations. The Company has entered into a rental agreement with AXIS for one rental property used by AXIS staff when conducting field operations for the Company. The rental agreement is for the period October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009. The Company paid rental expense of A$6,240 for 2008. During 2008, the Company paid AXIS an aggregate of A$10,551,866 which included the cost of the Lear jet, the three properties and an advance for 2009 charges and ongoing operations. The Company charged AXIS interest of A$49,931 at the rate between 10.35% to 11.75%.The amount owed by AXIS at December 31, 2008 was A$1,552,919.

Wilzed Pty Ltd, a company associated with President and CEO of the Company, Joseph Gutnick, has paid expenses on behalf of the Company and has provided loan funds to enable the Company to meet its liabilities. During the 2006 fiscal year, Wilzed loaned A$324,951 and charged A$3,588 in interest, and we repaid $336,081. The amount owed at December 31, 2006 was A$nil. Wilzed charged interest at a rate of between 9.35% and 9.85% for 2006.

Mr Joseph Gutnick, the President of the Company advanced the Company the initial deposit on opening a US Dollar bank account. In March, 2007, the balance of A$831, owing of the initial advance of A$1,303 (US$1,000) less expenses incurred of A$472, was repaid.

Effective as of March 3, 2006, Legend entered into a Contract for the Sale of Mining Tenements (“Contract”) with Astro Diamond Mines N.L. (“Astro”) an Australian company pursuant to which the Company acquired certain diamond mining tenements in Northern Australia from Astro. The consideration payable by Legend to Astro was A$1.5 million and Legend was also required to pay to Astro any costs incurred on the tenements after February 1, 2006. Astro provided commercial warranties which are usual for a transaction of this nature in favour of Legend. Under Australian law, Astro was required to provide an independent experts report to shareholders for this transaction. In order to prepare the independent experts report, a mineral valuation was prepared on behalf of Astro which indicated that the preferred value for the tenements that are the subject of the transaction was A$1.5 million. This formed the basis of the consideration agreed by the parties. The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. J. I. Gutnick, was Chairman and Managing Director of Astro and Dr DS Tyrwhitt, an independent Director of the Company was also a Director of Astro. The tenements are located in the Northern Territory of Australia and are prospective for all minerals. Astro incurred costs on the mining tenements from February 1, 2006 which at settlement Legend was required to pay. However, Astro had not quantified the amount at the date of settlement. At December 31, 2006, the Company owed Astro A$942,433 including interest of A$21,302. During 2007, the amount was repaid in full including interest charge for 2007 of A$16,774. Astro charged interest at a rate of 10.10% in 2007.

The Company appointed Mr. Mordechai Gutnick, as the Company’s General Manager, Business in December, 2007. Mr. Gutnick is the son of Joseph Gutnick, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Mordechai Gutnick receives an annual salary paid via AXIS. In addition, in December, 2007, Mr. Mordechai Gutnick was granted 2,000,000 stock options:

Transactions with Management.

We have a policy that we will not enter into any transaction with an Officer, Director or affiliate of us or any member of their families unless the transaction is approved by a majority of our disinterested non-employee Directors and the disinterested majority determines that the terms of the transaction are no less favourable to us than the terms available from non-affiliated third parties or are otherwise deemed to be fair to us at the time authorised.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Legend International Holdings, Inc

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Legend International Holdings, Inc (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 and the cumulative amounts from inception, January 5, 2001 through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Legend International Holdings, Inc. at December 31, 2008, and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods indicated above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

LEGEND INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANISATION AND BUSINESS

Legend International Holdings, Inc, ("the Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 5, 2001.

Following a change of management in November 2004, the Company developed a new plan of operations for fiscal 2006, which is to engage in mineral exploration and development activities. The Company's current business plan calls for the identification of mineral properties where it can obtain secure title to exploration, development and mining interests. The Company’s preference is to identify large minerals deposits with low operating costs. The Company is prepared to consider the exploration, development and mining of profitable base metal interests. At the beginning of 2006, the Company expanded its areas of interest to include diamond exploration activities and in July 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of certain diamond mining tenements in Northern Australia. Since that time, the Company has identified that those mining tenements in Northern Australia also have potential for uranium and base metals. In November 2007, the Company acquired mining tenements prospective for phosphate in the State of Queensland, Australia.

On June 3, 2008, Legend issued 42,000,000 shares of common stock at a placement price of US$2.50 per share raising A$110,028,293 (US$105,000,000). The direct costs of the offering totalled A$5,920,448.During the third quarter of 2008, 5,000,000 options were exercised at a price of US$2.50 per share The total amount received was A$13,672,091 (US$12,350,000).

Stage 1 - To focus on drilling near surface, high grade phosphate ore to delineate tonnage of direct shipping grade material that requires little or no beneficiation to export phosphate rock from the D-Tree phosphate deposit by the 4th quarter of 2009.

Stage 2 - Ramp up export of phosphate rock to 5 million tonnes per annum by 2012 beginning at the end of 4th quarter 2009, sourced from a combination of either Lady Annie, D-Tree, Lady Jane, Lily & Sherrin Creek or any other phosphate deposits of which Legend has an interest.

Stage 3 - Production of value added phosphate fertiliser products such as phosphoric acid, MAP, DAP and TSP.

Previously Legend was conducting a study with GHD to investigate the option of using a slurry pipeline to transport beneficiated product to the Port of Karumba. This option has now been abandoned due to high cost and port logistics. The transport option now considered feasible is via rail from Mt. Isa to the Port of Townsville. Legend is now conducting its own studies closely with the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO) and various external consultants on all aspects of the project including studies into metallurgy, geology, environment, mining, transport and infrastructure. These studies will form the basis of a final feasibility study. Worley Parsons is also working in association with Legend on various aspects of the project. Worley Parsons is a major international group with extensive experience offering technical, project and operational support in the resources and energy sector.

Exploration Stage Enterprise

The Company complies with FASB Statement No. 7 its characterization of the company as an exploration stage enterprise. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing its exploration business through field sampling and drilling programs in the State of Queensland and the Northern Territory of Australia.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2 ”Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognised or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”) in an inactive market. The intent of this FSP is to provide guidance on how the fair value of a financial asset is to be determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. The provisions of FSP FAS 157-3 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement and interpretation has not and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) requires assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. SFAS 141(R) will have an impact on our accounting for any future business combinations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies the accounting for noncontrolling interests and establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. SFAS 160 is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not currently have any minority interests.

F-8

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB statements No. 133” (“SFAS 161”) which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect and entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments and is not involved in any hedging activities.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”) which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141”). FSP 142-3 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 142-3 to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2008, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (“EITF 08-6”), which clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The intent of EITF 08-6 is to provide guidance on (i) determining the initial carrying value of an equity method investment, (ii) performing an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment, (iii) accounting for an equity method investee’s issuance of shares, and (iv) accounting for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. EITF 08-6 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this EITF on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operation.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

F-9

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP FAS 157-4 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. For unrecognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, an entity will be required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires an entity to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for the interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 165 effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The ‘FASB Accounting Standards Codification’ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”), which officially launched July 1, 2009, to become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The subsequent issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates that will be included in the Codification. Generally, the Codification is not expected to change U.S. GAAP. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We will adopt SFAS 168 for our quarter ending September 30, 2009. We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statement disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with the Codification.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs

Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. To date, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties. When it is determined that a mining deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, further exploration costs and development costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of commercial production, capitalized costs will be transferred to the appropriate asset category and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized costs, net of salvage values, relating to a deposit which is abandoned or considered uneconomic for the foreseeable future, will be written off.

Stock Options

For the issuances of stock options, the Company follows the fair value provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share Based Payments”. SFAS 123(R) requires the company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on grant date fair value. The cost will be recognised over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – usually the vesting period. In the case where there is no required service period, the fair value of the equity instruments is expensed immediately.

F-11

Inventories

Materials and Supplies

Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. The carrying value of inventory as at December 31, 2008 was A$92,194 ( US$63,678)

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted loss per share is not presented as the effect of Common Stock equivalents would be anti dilutive.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company records depreciation and amortization, when appropriate, using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property's useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income (loss).

The depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 amounted to A$202,943 (US$140,172), the year ended December 31, 2007 A$19,949, and the year ended December 31, 2006 A$1,021.

Cash

Cash consists of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, certain investments, receivables and payables. The Company believes that the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Federal Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. For the period presented, there was no taxable income. There are no deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences in reporting certain income and expense items for income tax and financial accounting purposes. The Company, at this time, is not aware of any net operating losses which are expected to be realised.

F-12

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Australian dollar. Revenue and expenses incurred in a currency other than the reporting currency, Australian dollars are translated at the date incurred or invoiced. Assets and liabilities are re-valued at the period end exchange rate where appropriate. Gains or losses form foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations .Foreign currency exchange gain in 2008 is primarily as a result of the translation of cash maintained in US banking institutions and amounted to A$5,389,750 (US$3,722,700). Foreign currency exchange loss for 2007 amounted to A$120,378 and for 2006 the loss amounted to A$40,017.

Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)

Revenues, expenses and assets generated in Australia are subject to Australian GST which requires the supplier to add a 10% GST to predominately all expenses and the cost of assets and for the Company to include a 10% GST to the selling price of a product. Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the expense item as applicable, and receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority

Reclamation and Remediation Obligations (Asset Retirement Obligations)

Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the exploration activity and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and remediation costs. The asset retirement obligation is based on when the spending for an existing environmental disturbance will occur. The Company reviews, on at least an annual basis, the asset retirement obligation at each exploration site.

Future remediation costs are accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, plugging of drill holes, removal of consumerables and ripping of drill pads and tracks. Changes in estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised.

Accounting for reclamation and remediation obligations requires management to make estimates unique to each exploration operation of the future costs the Company will incur to complete the reclamation and remediation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. Actual costs incurred in future periods could differ from amounts estimated. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation and remediation work required. Any such increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to earnings for reclamation and remediation.

Concentrations of credit risk

The Company monitors its position with, and the credit quality of, the financial institution it invests with. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

F-13

Convenience Translation to US$

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been translated into United States dollars using the rate of exchange of the United States dollar at December 31, 2008 (A$1.00=US$0.6907). The translation was made solely for the convenience of readers in the United States.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comparative Figures

Where necessary, comparative figures have been restated to be consistent with current year presentation.

4. CONCENTRATIONS OF RISKS

Cash Balances

The Company maintains a portion of its cash in US banking institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This government corporation insured balances up to US$100,000 through October 13, 2008. As of October 14, 2008 all non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts at an FDIC-insured institution, including all personal and business checking deposit accounts that do not earn interest, are fully insured for the entire amount in the deposit account. This unlimited insurance coverage is temporary and will remain in effect for participating institutions until December 31, 2009. All other deposit accounts at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to at least US$250,000 per depositor until December 31, 2009. On January 1, 2010, FDIC deposit insurance for all deposit accounts, except for certain retirement accounts, will return to at least US$100,000 per depositor. Insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts, which include all IRA deposit accounts, will remain at US$250,000 per depositor.

6. ACQUISITIONS IN MINERAL LICENCES AND JOINT VENTURE

On February 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Teutonic Minerals Pty Ltd. As a result, Teutonic became a subsidiary of the Company from that date. Teutonic held an application for a mineral licence over phosphate in the Georgina Basin in the State of Queensland, Australia. The consideration payable to the vendors was A$300,000, and the Company granted the vendors a 1% gross revenue royalty from production from the mineral licence and incurred legal costs of A$26,526. The mineral licence application held by Teutonic was withdrawn on March 17, 2008 and replaced by a mineral application lodged by the Company. Teutonic had no other assets or liabilities. As at December 31, 2008 the net assets and liabilities acquired by the Company have no value. The consideration and legal costs of A$326,526 paid by the Company are included as impairment of investment in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

On October 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Heads of Agreement with Mt. Isa Metals Ltd. (“MET”) for the formation of an unincorporated Joint Venture (“JV”) over each party’s respective interest in tenements overlying the D-Tree phosphate deposit. Under the JV, Legend will contribute tenements EPM 14753, EPMA’s 17333, 17437, 17443 and 17446, and, MET will contribute tenement EPM 15763 (D-Tree West). Legend will manage and hold an 80% interest in the JV and MET will hold a 20% contributing interest in the JV. Significantly, the JV will also have access to plant and infrastructure at Legend’s 100% owned proposed Lady Annie phosphate development, which lies 9 miles to the east of D-Tree. The Heads of Agreement is to be replaced by a formal JV agreement, which is currently being negotiated. Under the joint venture, the Company as manager, incurs all costs and these are treated as exploration expenditure in the Company’s records. The Company invoices the joint venture partner for 20% of the joint venture expenditure and this is recorded as a joint venture recovery against the exploration expenditure. The joint venture has no assets and as liabilities are incurred in the name of the manager, the liabilities of the joint venture are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. During 2008, the joint venture incurred exploration costs totalling approximately A$3,200,000 of which the Company has recorded its proportionate share (80%) of such costs which amounted to approximately A$2,550,000 which are included in exploration expenditure in the accompanying Statement of Operations. In addition, approximately A$650,000 is due from the joint venture partner at December 31, 2008 which is included in receivables in the accompanying Balance Sheet.

11. TRADING SECURITIES

Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determinations at each reporting date. The Company accounts for its equity security investments as trading securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”

On January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted SFAS No. 157, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The Company did not adopt the SFAS No. 157 fair value framework for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements at least annually. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

F-30

	Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

	Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

	Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Investment Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Fair Value Hierarchy		Fair Value at December 31, 2008
Level 1		$	780,946

The trading securities held at December 31, 2008 are investments in companies in the phosphate industry that are listed on either a US stock exchange or the Australian Stock Exchange.

The consideration payable by Legend to Astro was A$1.5 million and Legend was also required to pay to Astro any costs incurred on the tenements after February 1, 2006. Astro provided commercial warranties which are usual for a transaction of this nature in favour of Legend. Under Australian law, Astro was required to provide an independent experts report to shareholders for this transaction. In order to prepare the independent experts report, a mineral valuation was prepared on behalf of Astro which indicated that the preferred value for the tenements that are the subject of the transaction was A$1.5 million. This formed the basis of the consideration agreed by the parties. The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. J. I. Gutnick, was Chairman and Managing Director of Astro and Dr DS Tyrwhitt, an independent Director of the Company is also a Director of Astro. The tenements are located in the Northern Territory of Australia and are prospective for all minerals. Astro incurred costs on the mining tenements from February 1, 2006 which at settlement Legend was required to pay. However, Astro had not quantified the amount at the date of settlement and it was only finally quantified in November 2006. At December 31, 2006, the Company owed Astro A$942,433 for these costs including interest of A$21,302. During 2007, the amount was repaid in full including interest charge for 2007 of A$16,774. Astro charged interest at a rate of 10.10%.

The consideration and all related acquisition costs, costs incurred by Astro since February 1, 2006 and exploration expenditure incurred by the Company is shown in the Statement of Operations as Exploration Expenditure.

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company has operations in both the USA and Australia and the Company is subject to taxation in both jurisdictions on the operations in each respective jurisdiction.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007 deferred taxes consisted of the following:

	USA 2008 A$			Australia 2008 A$			Total 2008 A$
Deferred tax assets

Net operating loss carry-forward		5,336,889			5,748,076			11,084,965
Less valuation allowance		(5,336,889	)		(5,748,076	)		(11,084,965	)
Net deferred taxes		-			-			-

	USA 2007 A$			Australia 2007 A$			Total 2007 A$
Deferred tax assets

Net operating loss carry-forward		2,661,999			2,460,476			5,122,475
Less valuation allowance		(2,661,999	)		(2,460,476	)		(5,122,475	)
Net deferred taxes		-			-			-

The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.

At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

As a result of the ownership change that occurred in November 2004 (see note 1), Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the use of available operating loss carryforwards for losses incurred prior to the ownership change. In addition, the Company will need to file a tax return for 2007 to establish the tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards. Future net operating losses will be fully available to offset future taxable income. Total available net operating loss carryforwards, which are subject to limitations, amount to approximately A$34,856,984, at December 31, 2008 and expire in years 2022 through 2028.

14. COMMITMENTS

During August 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the rental of office premises which expires in 2010. The lease agreement has a monthly payment amount of A$3,194 (as adjusted by the increase in the consumer price index in Australia annually).

The Company has entered into a rental agreement with AXIS for one rental property used by AXIS staff when conducting field operations for the Company. The rental agreement is for the period October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009. The remaining commitment is A$18,720.

During November 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the rental of office premises which expires in April 2010. The lease agreement has a monthly repayment amount of A$14,527 (as adjusted by a factor of 105% in year two of the lease).

Total rent expenses incurred by the Company amounted to A$30,349 and A$27,457 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

			A$
Future minimum lease payments under the Company’s non-cancellable operating leases which expire between 2008 and 2010 are as follows:.

2009			202,378
2010			75,118
			277,496

The Company entered into an agreement for drilling on its Queensland phosphate project whereby the Company guaranteed to drill a set number of metres. If those metres were not drilled, the Company was required to make a payment for the metres that had not been drilled. At December 31, 2008, the value of the commitment was A$4,050,000 (US$2,797,333).

In December 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain mining tenements adjacent to its Queensland phosphate interests and paid a deposit of A$295,000 with the balance of the purchase price of A$605,000 being payable following the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. The regulatory approvals were received in February 2009 and the balance of the purchase price was paid at that time.

Exploration

The Company has to perform minimum exploration work and expend minimum amounts of money on its tenements. The overall expenditure requirement tends to be limited in the normal course of the Company’s tenement portfolio management through expenditure exemption approvals, and expenditure reductions through relinquishment of parts or the whole of tenements deemed non prospective. Should the company wish to preserve interests in its current tenements the amount which may be required to be expended is as follows:

	2008 A$	2007 A$
Not later than one year	748,755	1,795,000
Later than one year but not later than five years	2,801,013	3,085,000
Later than five years but not later than twenty one years	317,912	115,000
	3,867,680	4,995,000

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company is increasing its diamond exploration activity in the proximity of the Merlin diamond mine in the Northern territory and is continually sourcing new ground in this region which is one of the most diamond prospective areas in Australia. As part of this strategy, the Company acquired a 14.9% interest in North Australian Diamonds Ltd (“NADL”) at a cost of A$2,368,000 in February 2009. NADL owns the Merlin diamond mine and surrounding tenements. Mr JI Gutnick is Executive Chairman of NADL.

On May 12, 2009, the Company made an on market takeover offer for all of the shares in NADL, an Australian corporation that it did not already own. The takeover offer concluded on August 6, 2009. The Company now holds approximately 55% of the issued and outstanding shares of NADL for a total cost of A$11.6 million (approx. US$9.3 million). As a result, NADL became a subsidiary of the Company post June 30, 2009 and will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

In July 2009, the Company took a private placement from Northern Capital Resources Corporation (“NCRC”), a Nevada Corporation. NCRC holds a substantial interest in Golden River Resources Corporation (“GRR”) and GRR holds a 52% interest (increasing to 68.7%) in TSX listed Acadian Mining Corporation, which has significant gold and base metal interests in Canada. The Company acquired 19,441,925 issued and outstanding shares in NCRC at a cost of US$3.9 million.

During the first and second quarters of 2009, the Company sold all of its trading securities and realized a net gain of A$113,739.

Since December 31, 2008, the Company has acquired motor vehicles, trucks and a caravan, all to support field activities at an approximate cost of A$250,000 and has entered into a rental agreement with AXIS for 2 further properties in Mt Isa at a rental amount of A$2,080 per month for a 12 month period.
