Annual General Meeting November 2011

COMPANY PRESENTATION

  • “Nickel Sulphide Discovery in Canada”

New high-grade nickel-copper sulphide discovery at an old mining district in Canada

Junior explorer Discovery hole

ASX : CZN Market cap $20.68M 23.75 m @ 3.34% Ni, 1.54% Cu, 0.08% Co - Analogies with historical mined high grade 1.9Mt @ 2.5%Ni, 1.15%Cu + Co

2

Spectacular new nickel sulphide discovery below historical nickel mineCZN discovery hole: 23.75m @ 3.34% Ni, 1.54% Cu, 0.08% Co Corazon with option to earn 100% equity in project Canada’s 3[rd] largest nickel producing area, with Corazon the largest landholder in the area

Excellent infrastructure / strong local mining culture Current Exploration Target* of 28kt to 66kt Ni (+ significant Cu & Co credits), to be upgraded in December Quarter 2011, following recent discovery

Exploration drilling ongoing – regular news flow over coming months Capital structure has little downside risk

  • [ * This Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration (namely drilling) to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource. ]

[ * From Panoramic Resources Ltd – company presentation – June 2010]

[ * This Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration (namely drilling) to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource. ]

Upcoming Milestones:

  • How big is it?

  • Drilling underway, multiple holes from now to end of 2011

  • Recent drilling results have reshaped the deposit’s prospectivity

  • Update due Dec Qtr 2011

  • Already underway  Ongoing drilling program to

  • define the new resource.

  • Analysis of the prospective economics of the project

  • Expected by mid 2012

  • Drilling to continue during 2012

Other key timing considerations:

Exercise of option for 100% equity in Lynn Lake Project to be conducted by October 2012 Corazon is now well funded to delineate the resource

Despite the cold conditions at Lynn Lake, drilling is conducted all year round

13

The Asset

A substantial asset for Corazon Historical mine grades economic Upside tonnage potential Excellent infrastructure

Exploration Success

EL Mine extensions - high grade breccia defined Fertile region for nickel sulphide & VMS deposits Nearby, multiple targets Ongoing aggressive drilling providing regular newsflow Company Value

Tight capital structure, small market cap Very active exploration program Leveraged for exploration success in solid Ni market

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Andrew Thompson, B.Sc Hons (Geol), MAusIMM, an employee of Corazon Mining Limited. Mr Thompson has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Thompson consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears. All information relating to the Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves of other companies are referenced within this document.
