Dear Shareholder

Invitation to Participate in Shareholder Share Purchase Plan

On 15 December 2010, Corazon Mining Limited ( Corazon or Company ) announced a placement of up to 9,234,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) at 10 cents per Share to professional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $923,400 before costs of the issue ( Placement ).

The Board of Directors of Corazon are now pleased to offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate in a Shareholder Share Purchase Plan ( Plan ) to acquire additional Shares at the same issue price of 10 cents per Share as that paid by investors under the Placement.

The right to participate in the offer under the Plan is optional and is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of Shares at 5pm (WST) on the Record Date of 24 January 2011 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ).

Share Purchase Plan

The Plan entitles Eligible Shareholders in the Company, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to purchase up to $15,000 worth (cumulative total) of Shares at a price of 10 cents per Share ( Offer ).

The issue price of the Offer represents a 10% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of the Company‟s Shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the announcement date of the offer (being 25 January 2011); and a 17% discount to the Company‟s share price at the close of business on 24 January, 2011.

  • (ii) allot to you the number of Shares that would have been allotted had you applied for the highest designated amount that is less than the amount of your payment and refund the excess application money to you by cheque as soon as possible, without interest.

The maximum investment any shareholder may apply for will remain $15,000 even if a shareholder receives more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because the shareholder has more than one holding under a separate account).

Additional Information and Important Dates

The Offer cannot be transferred and the Directors of the Company reserve the right to reject, or scale back, on an equitable basis, any application. Shares allotted under the Plan will be issued no later than 10 business days after the Closing Date of the Offer. Application for quotation on ASX of the new Shares will be made immediately following the issue of those Shares.

The maximum amount proposed to be raised under the Offer is $2,300,000. In the event of oversubscription by the Closing Date the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, scale-back applications on an equitable basis.

If the Company rejects or scales-back an application or purported application, the Company will promptly return to the shareholder the relevant application monies, without interest.

On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer, the closing price of the Shares traded on ASX was 12 cents. The market price of the Shares in the Company may rise and fall between the date of the Offer and the date that any Shares are allotted to you as a result of your acceptance of this Offer. This means that the subscription price you pay for the Shares may exceed the market price of the Shares at the date of allotment of Shares under this Offer. The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to accepting this Offer.

The purpose of the Shareholder Share Purchase Plan ( the Plan ) is to offer shareholders of Corazon Mining Limited ( Corazon or Company ) the opportunity to acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Corazon Shares ) up to a maximum of $15,000 (when combined with any shares issued under any share purchase plan in the 12 months preceding the date of the Plan) at 10 cents, being a 10% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of Corazon Shares during the period 5 trading days prior to the announcement of the Offer on the financial market operated by ASX Limited ( ASX ) without the need to pay brokerage costs and without the need for Corazon to issue a Prospectus, upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors of Corazon, in its absolute discretion, sees fit.

Shareholders Eligible to Participate

Eligible shareholders of Corazon Shares that are registered with an Australian or New Zealand address at the relevant record date may participate in the Plan. Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders resident in other countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan.

Participation in the Plan is optional and is subject to these terms and conditions. Offers made under the Plan are nonrenounceable (i.e. eligible shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Corazon Shares offered under the Plan).

An offer may, at the discretion of the directors of Corazon, be made under the Plan once a year. The maximum amount, which any shareholder may subscribe for in any consecutive 12 month period, is $15,000. The directors of Corazon may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of Corazon Shares to be offered under the Plan and the period the offer is available to eligible shareholders.

Custodians, trustees and nominees:

If you are an eligible shareholder and hold the Corazon shares as a custodian

(as defined in ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] (refer below) ( Custodian ) or in any more specific ASIC relief granted to Corazon in relation to the Plan), you may apply for up to the maximum of new Shares for each beneficiary for whom you act as custodian provided you annexe to your Entitlement and Acceptance Form a certificate to Corazon ( Custodian Certificate ) with the following information:

  • that you held Shares in Corazon on behalf of one or more other persons (each a Participating Beneficiary ) at 5:00pm (WST) on 24 January 2011 who have subsequently instructed you to apply for Shares under the Plan on their behalf;

  • the number of Participating Beneficiaries and their names and addresses;

  • the number of Shares that you hold on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary;

  • the dollar amount of Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you, either directly or indirectly through another custodian, to apply for on their behalf;

  • that the application price for Shares applied under the Offer for each Participating Beneficiary for whom you act plus the application price for any other Corazon Shares issued to you as custodian for that Participating Beneficiary under any arrangement similar to the Plan in the prior 12 months does not exceed $15,000;

  • that a copy of the written offer document was given to each beneficiary; and

  • where you hold shares on behalf of a beneficiary indirectly, through one or more interposed custodians, the name and address of each interposed custodian.

For the purposes of ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] you are a „custodian‟ if you are a registered holder that:

  • holds an Australian financial services licence that allows you to perform

419207-1

custodian or depositary services or operate IDPS accounts;

  • is exempt from holding an Australian financial services licence by virtue of Class Order [CO 03/184] or by relying on the Australian financial services licence of your master custodian under regulation 7.1.06(k) of the Corporations Regulations 2001;

  • is a trustee of a self managed superannuation fund;

  • is a trustee of superannuation master trusts;

  • is a responsible entity of IDPS like schemes;

  • is noted on the Company‟s register of members as holding the shares on account of another person.

If you hold Corazon shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but are not a Custodian as defined above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner describes above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

Custodians should request a Custodian Certificate when making an application on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries. To request Custodian Certificate and if you would like further information on how to apply, you should contact Computershare Investor Services at any time from 8.30am to 5.00pm (WST) Monday to Friday during the Offer period.

Corazon reserves the right to reject any application for Plan Shares to the extent it considers that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) does not comply with these requirements. Corazon reserves the right to reject applications in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

Price of Corazon Shares

The price of Corazon Shares to be issued under the Plan will be 10 cents per Share. This price has been determined by calculating the volume weighted average market price of Corazon Shares quoted on ASX during the period 5 trading days prior to the announcement of the Offer, and discounting this calculation by 10%.

Applications and Notices

At the discretion of the directors of the Company, Corazon will send eligible

shareholders a letter of offer and acceptance procedures, inviting them to subscribe for Corazon Shares under the Plan, and accompanied by the terms and conditions of the Plan and an entitlement & acceptance form. Applications will not be accepted after the closing date of an offer. Over subscriptions to an offer may be refunded without interest.

Notices and statements made by Corazon to participants may be given in any manner prescribed by its Constitution. Placement of Shortfall

Any shortfall from the Offer will be fully underwritten by Barclay Wells Limited. The Company has entered into an underwriting agreement with Barclay Wells Limited in respect of the Plan which contains standard commercial terms and conditions, termination events, and contingencies expected in an agreement of this type.

Issue of Corazon Shares

Corazon Shares to be issued under the Plan will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the closing date specified by the Directors of Corazon in the relevant offer.

Corazon Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with all other fully paid ordinary shares in Corazon from the date of issue.

Shareholding statements or CHESS notification will be issued in respect of all Corazon Shares issued under the Plan. The Company will, promptly after the issue of Corazon Shares under the Plan, make application for those Corazon Shares to be listed for quotation on the official list of ASX.

Modification and Termination of the Plan

Corazon may modify or terminate the Plan at any time. Corazon will notify ASX of any modification to, or termination of, the Plan. The omission to give notice of any modification to, or termination of, the Plan or the failure of ASX to receive such notice will not invalidate the modification or termination.

Without limiting the above, Corazon may issue to any person fewer Corazon Shares than the person applied for under the Plan if the issue of the Corazon Shares applied for would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of ASX.

419207-1

Dispute Resolution

Corazon may, in any manner it thinks fit, settle any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the Plan, whether generally or in relation to any participant, application or Corazon Shares.
