Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce high grade cobalt intersections in the Company’s first batch of assay results from its maiden drilling program at the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project (“Project”) in north-eastern New South Wales.
Drilling focused on the high grade Cobalt Ridge prospect and assay results have validated the Company’s assessment of Cobalt Ridge as a unique, high grade cobalt-dominant deposit that has the potential to deliver valuable, discrete high-grade zones of cobalt, within broader moderate grade mineralisation.
Cobalt is a metal of growing strategic importance due to its requirement for use in lithium-ion batteries and the emerging re-chargeable battery sector. At current cobalt metal prices of around US$30,000 per tonne, the grades intersected in the drilling at Cobalt Ridge represent potentially significant inground value for both the broad zones and discreet high grade zones of cobalt mineralisation. Historic mining for cobalt, copper, gold and silver in the project area supports the opportunity for the metallurgical extraction of these metals.

Managing Director Mr Brett Smith stated “ We are pleasantly surprised by these initial assay results. In particular, the results for hole MGRC002 are better than any previous historical drilling and open up the western extensions of the system as prospective for high-grade cobalt, plunging below historic drilling. We’re looking forward to assays from what would be considered the core of the system. The main cobalt lode appears to be 10 to 20 metres down-hole with two or three zones of more intense mineralisation .”
Holes MGRC002 and MGRC003 have intersected the main cobalt lode. Core drilling is currently underway to extend holes MGRC001 and MGRC004 to intersect this zone. Significant assay results are presented in Table 1, with additional details pertaining to drilling and assaying presented in Table 2.
The best individual assay results for cobalt was 2.79% over one metre, with highlight results including;
o MGRC002 16m @ 0.65% cobalt from 135m, including
6m @ 1.48% cobalt
o MGRC003 37m @ 0.14% cobalt from surface, including
2m @ 0.36% cobalt and 1.37% copper,
1m @ 1.20% cobalt and 1.02% copper.
Background to Mr Gilmore drill program
Corazon’s maiden drill program at Mt Gilmore has been designed to confirm the continuity, position and extent of the cobalt-copper-gold mineralisation within the Cobalt Ridge prospect area, which has been identified by previous drilling. Corazon’s drilling has validated historical mining and exploration results and has confirmed the presence of multiple zones of sulphide mineralisation over a strike length of at least 300 metres. The mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.
In total, 18 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes were completed for 2086 metres. Results received to date include 300 assays from a total of 1566 samples submitted to date. The assays are from drill holes MGRC001 to MGRC004. Holes MGRC002 and MGRC003 were completed. Holes MGRC001 and MGRC004 have partial assays returned and are currently being extended with core drilling to intersect the interpreted main cobalt lode.
Geological assessment of the mineralisation has been encouraging, with multiple phases of brecciation and sulphide mineralisation interpreted. To enhance the understanding of the Cobalt Ridge system, core drilling has commenced. This drilling is designed to provide additional information for interpretation and modelling of the mineralisation, as well as provide sample material for petrological and metallurgical test work.
Core drilling at Cobalt Ridge is expected to be completed over the next two weeks. As with previous drilling, it is anticipated that this drilling will intersect visible signs of mineralisation. The tenor of the cobalt-copper-gold mineralisation will be determined by laboratory analysis, which is expected to take an additional three to four weeks.

Mt Gilmore Project Overview
The Mt Gilmore Project (“Project”) is located 35 kilometres from the major centre of Grafton in northeastern New South Wales. Corazon has an exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Project through payment of cash and shares, plus the expenditure of $2.2 million in-ground (ASX announcements 16 June 2016 and 4 July 2016).
The Project is located in the New England Orogen, a significant mineral province in Eastern Australia with a gold endowment of more the 35M ounces and the potential to host large copper-gold systems.
This region hosts deposits such as the Mount Morgan Cu-Au Mine (+50Mt @ 5.9 g/t Au and 0.7% Cu) and Mt Rawdon Gold Mine (50Mt @ 0.71 g/t Au).

Within the Project, a prospective 18 kilometre trend (the Mt Gilmore Trend) has been identified, which includes:
-
More than 25 historic copper, gold, cobalt and iron workings, including significant shafts, adits and drives with high-grade copper and gold mineralisation (rock chips up to grades of 26.8%Cu and 9.2 g/t Au); and
-
Five large scale Cu-Au targets defined to date.
Although mapping indicates extensive hydrothermal alteration and copper-gold mineralisation at surface, very little modern exploration has been undertaken. Aside from small-scale historic coppergold and iron mines, previous exploration has predominantly been restricted to general prospecting/ mapping, rock-chip/ grab sampling, with drilling completed at only one of the targets (the Pulganbar – Cobalt Ridge area).
The Cobalt Ridge Prospect
The high-grade nature of this cobalt mineralisation is published in historical records from shallow mining (maximum shaft depth 36.5 metres), reporting a maximum of 14.7% cobalt (Co), 14.9% copper (Cu) and up to 1.7 oz/ ton gold (Au). The richer mineralisation seemingly occurs in small lenses or pods within a broader zone of lower-grade mineralisation.
Modern exploration within the Project commenced in the 1980’s; PanContinental completed ground IP and magnetic geophysical surveys, gridded soil geochemistry for Cu, Au and Co, 25 trenches (1518.5 metres) and 17 RC drill holes (for 1020.82 metres).
Between 2006 and 2008, Central West Gold N.L. drilled 25 holes for 2880 metres, including 21 holes for 2604 metres at Cobalt Ridge. This work defined multiple parallel sub-vertical Co-Cu-Au sulphide lodes over a strike of 300 metres and width of between 50 metres and 120 metres. Maximum individual one (1) metre drill results include 3.38% Co, 3.18% Co and 4.92 g/t Au.
The Cobalt Ridge Prospect represents an advanced cobalt play with shallowly drilled Co-Cu-Au lodes that remain open along strike and at depth.
Numerous undrilled regional cobalt prospects exist, including several defined by soil geochemistry and geophysics close to Cobalt Ridge. This style of mineralisation (Co-Cu-Au sulphides) is typically responsive to geophysics, with the Cobalt Ridge mineralisation being traced for at least an additional 100m to 200m under cover outside of existing drilling.
Company Overview – Corazon Mining Limited
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX:CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”) is a Perth-based Australian mineral exploration company with projects in Canada and Australia.
The Company’s flagship project is the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The recent acquisition of the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project (ASX announcement, 16 June 2016) in New South Wales (Australia) has provided Corazon with an exciting duel focus and opportunity.
Lynn Lake is a significant historic nickel-copper-cobalt mining area that ceased operation in 1976, after 24 years of continuous production. Corazon has been active in the Lynn Lake area since 2010 and has, for the first time since mine closure in 1976, consolidated the Lynn Lake Mining Centre under the ownership of one company.

==> picture [199 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [198 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [197 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
The Lynn Lake Project is a development opportunity and boasts large remnant nickel-copper-cobalt resources within the historical mining centre, as well as significant drill defined resource potential from historical drilling and modern discoveries proximal to the mines. In addition to the near-mine opportunities, the exploration upside of this project is potentially enormous.
Recent work by Corazon has highlighted a very large and compelling exploration target at the nearby Fraser Lake Complex (refer to Corazon’s previous ASX announcements). The Fraser Lake Complex is predominantly under cover, twice as large as Lynn Lake, and has all the geophysical and geochemical characteristics of the Lynn Lake mineralisation.
The Australian Mt Gilmore Project provides the Company with an early-stage exploration play with indicators of large scale copper-gold systems such as porphyry and skarn intrusive related deposits. The most advanced exploration project within Mt Gilmore is the Cobalt Ridge prospect, a high-grade cobalt deposit with accompanying copper and gold mineralisation. The cobalt mineralisation within the Mt Gilmore Project provides an early focus for exploration activities for the Company.
