-
5.04% Cu from Iron Mountain.
-
Significantly a +2km high grade copper trend identified at Pulganbar includes the Cobalt Ridge Prospect.

Multiple drill results of +1% Co with Cu and Au credits
-
Maximum individual 1m drill results of 3.38% Co, 3.18% Cu and 4.92 g/t Au
-
Minimal drilling required to define resource
-
Mineralisation remains open in all directions:
-
300m strike drilled, width 50m to 120m
-
Multiple zones
-
-
Numerous undrilled geochemical anomalies
-
Corazon has the exclusive right to earn up to 80% of the Mt Gilmore Project.
Australian mineral exploration company, Corazon Mining Limited (ASX:CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”), is pleased to announce high grade copper mineralisation from a recently completed surface rock-chip sampling program at the Mount Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project (“Project”) in New South Wales Australia (Figure 1).
Corazon has secured the right to earn up to 80% of the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project from private company Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd (“Providence”) (ASX announcement 16 June, 2016) and is currently completing due diligence. The surface rock-chip sampling being reported was undertaken by Providence; these results have been received by Corazon and as such additional disclosure is required by the Company.
Rock-Chip Sampling Program
A total of 76 rock-chip samples were taken within the Project and submitted for analysis in May 2016. This sampling tested five areas identified as significant copper-gold targets. Sampled areas include the May Queen, Iron Mountain, Gordonbrook Hill, Hassans and Puganbar targets (Figure 2).
Results are consistent with historical production and surface sampling, supporting the high-grade tenor of copper mineralisation in the Mt Gilmore area.

Mount Gilmore Copper-Gold
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).
A prospective 18km trend (the Mt Gilmore Trend – Figure 2) has been identified within the Project. This region includes:
-
More than 25 historic copper, gold, cobalt and iron workings, including significant shafts, adits and drives with high-grade copper and gold mineralisation.
-
The definition of five large-scale Cu-Au targets (Figure 2).
Although mapping has identified extensive hydrothermal alteration and copper-gold mineralisation at surface, very little modern exploration has been undertaken at the Project. Aside from small-scale historic copper-gold and iron mines, previous exploration has predominantly been restricted to general prospecting/ mapping, rock-chip/ grab sampling. Drilling has only been completed at one of the targets, being the Pulganbar Prospect in the Cobalt Ridge area.
Pulganbar Co-Cu-Au Prospect
The Pulganbar Prospect includes the Cobalt Ridge deposit which is one of the Company’s main focusses within the Mt Gilmore Project (ASX Announcement dated 16 June, 2016).
Cobalt Ridge is an advanced, high-grade cobalt-copper-gold deposit with drill defined mineralisation over approximately 300m strike and between 50m and 120m in width (Figure 3). The deposit includes multiple zones, with the maximum individual 1m drill results of 3.38 %Co, 3.18 %Cu and 4.92 g/tAu.
The recent rock-chip sampling has defined high-grade copper mineralisation over approximately 2km of strike, between the Federal and Glamorgan mines (Table 1, Figure 3). Historical work supporting the belief in a large copper-gold system existing at Pulganbar includes:
-
Large (>2.5km x >1km) zoned, Cu-Au-(Co-U-Ag-Mo-Te-As-Hg-Sb) rich hydrothermal alteration zone defined in geochemical sampling.
-
Numerous historic Cu-Co-Au-Hg workings with significant shafts, drives and adits.
-
Gold in historic trench sampling (1980’s) confirm the tourmaline breccia system is a fertile gold rich system:
-
5m @ 2.28 g/t Au, Incl 1m @ 7.1g/t Au
-
6m @ 5.6g/t Au
-
4m @ 3.26g/t Au
-
6m @ 4.27g/t Au & 0.3% Cu, Incl. 1m @ 9.2g/t Au

Hassans Cu-Mo-Au-Co Prospect
The Hassans area is a ‘window’ through younger sedimentary cover that exhibits a large (>1.5km by >1.5km) zoned hydrothermal alteration zone. Numerous small scale prospecting pits are associated with gossanous, silica-tourmaline-limonite cemented breccia and skarn style alteration.
Historic rock chips samples of up to 1.2 g/tAu, 26.8 %Cu, 440 g/tAg and 350 ppmMo have been reported.
This phase of rock chip sampling (Table 2) focussed on weathered gossanous material that only returned weak anomalism. This target remains undrilled and there has been very limited historical exploration.

Iron Mountain Target
Small scale iron ore (magnetite) mining in the 1980s exposed copper gold mineralisation. Sampling of this mineralisation in 1986 included:
-
11 grab samples averaging 0.64 g/t Au & 0.64% Cu, including up to 3.8 g/t Au & 2.08% Cu.
-
Channel sampling quarry face returned 8m @ 0.57% Cu & 0.12 g/t Au; including 2m @ 1.52% Cu & 0.26 g/t Au.
The area includes numerous small scale copper and gold workings, magnetite Cu-Au skarn mineralisation and several interesting geophysical (magnetic) anomalies. No drilling has been undertaken on these features.
The recent rock chip sampling results are presented in Table 4. Exposure in this area is poor; however, this sampling has extended defined copper mineralisation over an area of 1.5km by 1km.

May Queen Target
May Queen is prospective for Cu-Au skarn (similar to Iron Mountain) and porphyry Cu-Au style of mineralisation.
Very limited previous exploration has been conducted in this region. Small scale historic Cu-Au-Fe workings exist, including three shafts and an adit, within a 300m x 150m basement exposure in a valley. Past rock chip samples of these workings returned up to 3.0g/t Au & 0.53% Cu, associated with chalcopyrite-bornite-magnetite in extensive skarn style hydrothermal alteration assemblages.
Cu-Au mineralisation is associated with high amplitude >3km long linear magnetic high feature and a 0.6km x 0.4m bullseye magnetic high (rimmed by a regionally significant magnetic low anomaly – classic porphyry Cu-Au magnetic signature).
Recent rock chip sampling within the May Queen area (Table 5) failed to produce any results of significance.
