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.

Lynn Lake Strategy

CORAZON HAS A TWO-PRONGED STRATEGY FOR EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT

  • i) Mine Area

  • Expand near-surface JORC 2012 resource base at the Mining Centre to complement existing resources at depth

  • Seek cost and performance efficiencies in mining and processing practices, progressing the possible development of a significant low-cost mining operation

ii) Exploration Ground

  • Explore for new world-class nickel sulphide deposits within the Lynn Lake Project

  • Recently completed, new innovative geophysical method underpins the search for massive sulphide deposits (nickel and VMS)

Early results are encouraging

  • Conductive geophysical anomalies located within interpreted magma channel-ways west of the FLC, provide exploration targets for massive sulphide mineralisation

MobileMT Total Magnetic Intensity Image

  • The area west of the FLC portrays a complex interconnection of mafic and ultramafic intrusive bodies, underlain by deep crustal-tapping structures.

==> picture [456 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

  • The South Pipe is traced to the full vertical extents of the geophysical processes and thus is believed to be a major pathway for magma into an area that hosts extensive disseminated magmatic sulphide mineralisation.

==> picture [456 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [456 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • The shallow depth extents of the Motruiuk Complex (~500 or 600 metres below surface) and the gravity highs (interpreted as mafic intrusive lithologies) to the west of the Matrix Trend supports a flow of magma from the south to the north into the Motruiuk Complex, and possibly northeast into the Matrix Trend (juxtaposing the older FLC).

Mobile MT Resistivity/Conductance Image at ~250m Below Surface

  • The new MobileMT geophysical conductors identified are variable in form and the ‘conductors of interest’ have been defined and ranked on the basis of their intensity and coincidental anomalism with other geophysical characteristics (such as magnetics, gravity and IP).

  • The new South Pipe Target includes two substantial parallel magnetic pipe-like bodies. The southern pipe is conductive from about 100 metres below surface, to at least 850 metres.

  • The “target model” for the South Pipe conductor is the EL Deposit at Lynn Lake – mined to only 250m below surface for 1.9Mt @ 2.4%Ni and 1.15%Cu
