___________
Australian mineral exploration company, Corazon Mining Limited (ASX:CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”), is pleased to announce a land access agreement has been completed with the Tjamu Tjamu (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC and Ngaanyatjarra Land Council (Aboriginal Corporation) which will facilitate the exploration of the Top Up Rise Project (“TUR Project” or “the Project) in Western Australia.
Jonathan Downes Non-Executive Director
Adrian Byass Non-Executive Director
Rob Orr Company Secretary
The TUR Project is located in the Gibson Desert region of north-eastern Western Australia and is prospective for large gold-copper intrusive related deposits, similar in style to Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carapateena.
The signing of the Land Access Agreement is a significant step forward for the development of the TUR Project, which includes an exploration licence that was granted in May 2011.
This access agreement allows the Company to seek a Ministerial Access Permit, which will provide authorisation for Corazon’s exploration teams to commence on-ground work within the Project area.

It is expected the current processes will see on-ground heritage clearances for proposed work programs commence in early 2013, with ground geophysics scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2013 and drilling to follow late in the first quarter/early in the second quarter 2013.

Corazon has secured an option to earn up to 75% of Border Exploration Pty Ltd (“Border”), which owns 100% of the TUR Project (refer to Company announcement dated 30 October, 2012). This acquisition is conditional on both the granting of a Ministerial Access Permit and Corazon Shareholder approval.
Corazon has engaged an Independent Expert to prepare an Independent Valuation Report for the Top Up Rise Earn-In Agreement with Border. This report will be included in the Notice of Meeting which the Company expects to put to its Shareholders in the coming weeks; the meeting is planned for January 2013.

About the Top Up Rise Project
Figure 1:- Project Location
The TUR Project is located in the Gibson Desert region of northeastern Western Australia and is prospective for large gold-copper intrusive related deposits, similar in style to Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carapateena. The primary target is an unexplored gravity anomaly, which presents one of the largest amplitude residual gravity anomalies in Australia. The core of the anomaly is 8 kilometres by 4 kilometres in area, similar in size to the gravity anomaly attributed to the Olympic Dam Deposit.
The closest outcrops (approximately 20 kilometres away) are anomalous in iron-oxide copper gold (IOCG) pathfinder minerals (including rare-earths, haematite, magnetite, copper, gold and uranium) and are adjacent to a large Proterozoic age intrusive alteration system with geochemical characteristics common to known worldclass copper-gold deposits.
The TUR Project gravity anomaly is a large residual gravity-high with no coincident magnetic high, supporting geophysical features typical of many IOCG deposits (Figure 3). The anomaly was identified as a result of a gravity survey completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Western Australia in 2006 (published in 2008).

With respect to amplitude, the peak residual gravity anomaly is greater than 7 mGals above background, on a gravity high ridge of approximately 4 mGals (with a background of less than 1 mGal) (Figure 4). Residual gravity is a measure of gravity after the effects of regional variations in the earth’s gravity field have been removed (ie. Data is normalised to the earth’s gravity field)
