Forward Looking Statement
----- End of picture text -----

This presentation has been prepared by Corazon Mining Limited (“Corazon”). It contains forecasts and forward looking statements which are not a guarantee of future performance and which involve certain risks. Actual results and future outcomes will in all likelihood differ from those outlined herein. The presentation should not be construed as an offer or invitation to subscribe for or purchase securities in Corazon. Nor is it an inducement to make an offer or an invitation with respect to said securities.

The Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making the forward-looking Statements in the announcement based on the information contained in this and previous ASX announcements.

The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this presentation, and the Company confirms that, to the best of its knowledge, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the exploration results in this release continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “expect(s)”, “feel(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding future production, resources or reserves and exploration results. All such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) those relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits and conclusions of economic evaluations, (ii) risks relating to possible variations in reserves, grade, planned mining dilution and ore loss, or recovery rates and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, (iii) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies, (iv) risks related to commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, (v) risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, and (vi) other risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s prospects, properties and business strategy. Our audience is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to revise and disseminate forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of or non-occurrence of any events.

2019 – A TALE OF TWO PROJECTS

Two compelling exploration projects in commodities poised to be key components of the global growth in next-generation battery technologies

Investor Interest in Cobalt Slows

Nickel Market Tightens - Interest Up

Mt Gilmore - NSW

  • Corazon’s project equity increased to 80%

  • Exploration delineated a major (+20km) coppercobalt-silver-gold trend with multiple <1km geochemical anomalies

Lynn Lake - Canada

  • Appointment of Mr Terry Streeter as Chairman reflects the Company’s intent at Lynn Lake

  • Focus on brown-fields exploration and project development work

  • Visible sulphides at surface + high-grade copper rock chip results

  • High-tenor geophysical anomalies defined – coincident with geochemical anomalies

  • New JORC Resource underpins a substantive nickel asset

  • Exceptional metallurgical results – for the first time deliver separate high-grade nickel and copper concentrates

ALL PROSPECTIVE INTRUSIONS CONTROLLED BY CZN

  • Multiphase intrusive mafic-ultramafic igneous “plugs”

  • Extreme crustal contamination of plugs indicates:

  • Interaction of the magma with country rocks – assimilation of pre-existing VMS deposits

  • Causative formation of a large amount of sulphide rich melt

  • Structurally controlled sulphide deposits

  • Deep “mantle-tapping” source for magma

CONSOLIDATION OF PROSPECTIVE NICKEL GROUND

  • Modern exploration techniques and a new understanding for the formation of these deposits has identified multiple Lynn Lake style targets

  • Difficult terrain, targets are predominantly under cover

  • Geophysics is the key to discovery – Lynn Lake deposits have specific geophysical characteristics

  • Multiple “ EL Deposit like ” targets

  • The Fraser Lake Complex is a stand-out target

RIGHT COMMODITIES – PERFECT TIMING

  • Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project

  • One of the best nickel exploration plays in North America

    • Underpinned by 116,800t nickel, 54,300t copper, 5,300t cobalt
  • Market support and sentiment for nickel sulphide projects is growing

    • Nickel market deficit since 2015 – forecast critically tight market from 2021
  • Current studies seek improvements on a number of fronts for the benefit of any future mining operation

    • Metallurgical and Processing (pre-flotation and down-stream)

    • Mining studies and optimising mining methods to reduce costs

Mt Gilmore – Regional High-Grade Cu

UNIQUE - EARLY STAGE - DISTRICT-SCALE EXPLORATION PLAY

  • Large geochemical anomalies indicative of hydrothermal “Intrusive Related” or “Replacement” style of deposits

  • High-grade copper within structures crosscutting geochemical anomalies

  • High cobalt content of mineralisation indicative of a unique geological setting

  • Cobalt Ridge

  • Cobalt dominant sulphide mineralisation

  • Drilled over 300m strike – remains open and untested

  • Processing testwork achieved high-value concentrates (flotation) and sulphates (POX)
