Geophysics Defines Drill Targets

  • Exploration continues at the nickel-copper sulphide EL Deposit within Corazon’s Lynn Lake Project, Canada

“A new high grade nickelcopper sulphide discovery ... in a major Canadian mining camp.”

  • Down-hole EM surveys have defined several conductors that will direct exploration drilling of extensions to the EL Deposit between 700m and 1,200m below surface

  • Drilling to recommence within the next 24 hours on the most prospective of these new conductors

Nickel sulphide exploration company, Corazon Mining Limited (ASX:CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”), is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the Lynn Lake nickel-copper sulphide project in Canada.

The Company has recently completed down-hole electromagnetic surveys (EM) within drilling at the EL Deposit. EM is effective in identifying massive sulphide typical of the high-grade mineralisation at Lynn Lake and will assist in targeting on-going drilling.

The initial target for drilling lies east of and at a similar level to mineralisation recently defined by Corazon’s drilling (i.e. a parallel target). This conductor is coincident with a regional structural trend and is defined between 700 and 850 metres below surface.

Drilling of this parallel target will commence within the next 24 hours, to provide a better understanding of this conductor. Interpretation work is continuing on processing and defining multiple conductors identified by the EM surveys down to 1,200 metres below surface.

The current drilling at Lynn Lake will continue until mid-2012. Results will be used to better define the potential for development of the EL Deposit.

About the Lynn Lake Project

Corazon has an option to acquire 100% equity in the Lynn Lake Nickel Sulphide Project in the central Canadian province of Manitoba, which hosts the historic EL Nickel Mine. The EL Mine was the highest grade deposit at Lynn Lake and produced 1.9Mt @ 2.5% nickel and 1.15% copper. Mining was conducted to a depth of 210 metres below surface, with development to 270 metres.

In May 2010 Corazon discovered a high-grade nickel-copper sulphide breccia in drilling below the EL Mine. The discovery hole (XND001W2) returned:-

  • 23.91m @ 2.27% Ni, 0.80% Cu & 0.055% Co from 715.09 m;

Including

  • 4.53m @ 3.34% Ni, 1.05% Cu & 0.081% Co from 715.09 m and

  • 1.82m @ 4.38% Ni, 0.37% Cu & 0.101% Co from 726.18 m

Recent drilling has defined this sulphide zone between approximately 700m and 820m below surface. Mineralisation remains open at depth, with the deepest hole to date (CRZ012W5) intersecting:-

  • 10.75m @ 2.10% Ni, 1.03% Cu & 0.066% Co from 807.72 m.

The Lynn Lake nickel camp is Canada’s third largest nickel mining region, which produced 22Mt of nickel/copper/cobalt ore between 1953 and 1976, at an average grade of 1% nickel and 0.5% copper. The size and continuity of the Lynn Lake deposits provide large tonnage – low cost mining opportunities.

There has been minimal exploration in the region since this time. Mining at adjacent deposits has shown that mineralisation extended to more than 1,100 metres below surface. Metal recoveries for nickel, copper and cobalt are historically very good, averaging above 85-90%.

Corazon is the largest land holder in the Lynn Lake Camp, and in addition to the EL Mine, the project area containing several drill defined base metal deposits and numerous un-tested geophysical anomalies.

The area is well serviced with mining infrastructure and support, offering rapid development potential. The Thompson Nickel Refinery is located only 320km from the project and is accessible by all-weather roads. In addition there is rail access (currently under care and maintenance) to the Flin Flon zinc-copper refineries approximately 250km to the south.
