ASX: CZN ANNOUNCEMENT

18 December 2019

Company Announcements Office

Australian Securities Exchange Limited Electronic Lodgement System

Dear Sir/Madam

Corazon Mining Limited – ASX announcement

Corazon Mining Limited lodges the following announcement:

  • Sulphides Intersected in Drilling

This announcement provides updated information to the announcement dated the 13 December 2019 and includes the addition of a table summarizing the “Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria”.

The announcement reports the visual identification of sulphide in drill core. Analysis of samples from this drilling are not expected to be received until early in the New Year (2020).

Sulphides within the Lynn Lake mineralisation are typically pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite. There is a low level of confidence in visual estimates and due to the variability of the mineralisation, no estimates have been provided for metal content or for individual sulphide mineral content.

Sulphides observed are consistent with the Lynn Lake style of mineralisation. Lynn Lake was a nickelcopper-cobalt mine that operated for twenty-four (24) years, before closure in 1976.

Contact and person who authorised the announcement:

DRILLING INTERSECTS SULPHIDES AT LYNN LAKE

STRONG NICKEL-COPPER SULPHIDE MINERALISATION

INTERSECTED IN ALL HOLES DRILLED TO DATE

  • First three holes completed of the current ~1,200 metre diamond core drilling program at Lynn Lake Mining Centre

  • All three holes have intersected strong nickel-copper-sulphide mineralisation, including a broad zone of 39.5 metres of sulphide mineralisation

  • Results to date are highly encouraging and consistent with the Lynn Lake-style of mineralisation, which historically supported a large-scale nickel mining camp

  • Drilling program is initially focused on areas within the main Lynn Lake Mining Centre, testing for near-surface mineralisation on-strike from existing resources and historic mines

  • Corazon’s drilling is designed to target the further expansion of Lynn Lake’s significant existing resource base

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to provide an update on the current phase of drilling at its 100% owned Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Mining Centre (Lynn Lake or Project) in Canada.

Preliminary results from the first three holes completed have been highly positive with all three holes intersecting strong sulphide mineralisation, including a broad zone of 39.5 metres of strongly disseminated with narrow zones of semi-massive concentrations (between 6.5 metres to 46 metres downhole) in hole 7.

The three completed holes (holes 5, 6, 7 – Figure 2) have been drilled for a total of approximately 356 metres, and have targeted areas around the A Orebody, previously covered by infrastructure from the “A-Shaft” and processing plant area within the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre (Mining Centre).

Corazon’s current phase of drilling is focused on the Lynn Lake Mining Centre, where the primary targets are near-surface mineralisation on-strike from historical mines and existing resource areas, with the aim of further expanding the Project’s already significant resource base.

Approximately 1,200 metres of diamond core drilling are planned for the current program, which is expected to be completed in the current month.

Summary of Preliminary Drill Results

All three holes completed to date (Table 1) have interested strong sulphide mineralisation, including heavy disseminations with narrow semi-massive zones, consistent with the Lynn Lake style of mineralisation (Figure 1). Preliminary logging of these drill holes is presented in Table 2.

The Lynn Lake style of mineralisation is typical of mafic/ultramafic intrusive (igneous) magmatic

sulphide systems, hosting sulphides varying in concentrations from massive to weakly disseminated, commonly decreasing in content away from the intrusive centre or structural control.

The dominant sulphide is pyrrhotite (iron), with variable quantities of pentlandite (nickel) and chalcopyrite (copper). Although these minerals are visible, there is strong variability in the sulphide content throughout the holes and as such no estimation of the quantity of individual sulphide minerals are provided within.

The current phase of drilling is testing for near surface expressions of mined areas that operated at an average grade of 1.02% nickel and 0.54% copper, continuously for twenty-four years.

Hole #5 intersected 6.3 metres (15.3 metres to 21.6 metres) of heavy disseminated, blebby and matrix/interstitial style sulphide mineralisation (Figure 1), before being terminated early due to intersecting what is interpreted to be the backfilled crown pillar stope.

Holes #6 intersected multiple narrow zones of mineralisation, consistent with patchy mineralisation marginal to the Lynn Lake deposits and described within as “strong sulphide mineralisation, including heavy disseminations with narrow semi-massive zones”. This hole also intersected several zones of “siliceous mineralisation”, a term which describes mineralised inclusions of sediment within the mafic intrusions. The presence of these “siliceous mineralisation” is important as they represent a component of the nickel mineralisation within the N Deposit resource, in the southern part of the Mining Centre.

Hole #7 intersected a broad zone of 39.5 metres of strong sulphide mineralisation, including heavy disseminations with narrow semi-massive zones, between 6.5 metres to 46 metres downhole (Figure 1). The bottom part of the hole is similar in character to Hole #6 and is possibly on strike testing the same trend.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 18 DECEMBER 2019
----- End of picture text -----

The Company’s recent exploration work at Lynn Lake has focused on defining additional areas of mineralisation with the potential to add to the Project’s significant existing resource base. Priority targets for the drilling program at Lynn Lake include:

  • near-surface mineralisation;

  • areas on-trend from historical mines; and

  • areas adjacent to existing resources.

Corazon’s recent mining studies at Lynn Lake have predominantly centred on nickel deposits at depths of more than 400 metres below surface. This work has highlighted the potential to define additional resources closer to surface adjacent to Lynn Lake’s historically mined areas. These areas are the initial focus for the current drilling program.

The three holes completed are testing within the A Orebody area. The A Orebody was mined underground between 1953 and 1965, and produced 4.8 million tonnes at 1.07% nickel and 0.55% copper (cobalt not reported). While the massive suphide crown-pillar was mined to surface, it was expected that good mineralisation existed where historical infrastructure restricted surface mining.

In addition to testing the historical mining areas, several new high-potential areas geophysically analogous to the Lynn Lake sulphide deposits have also been defined within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre, representing further resource upside potential.

Full details of this drilling are presented in Table 3 attached.

About Corazon

Corazon Mining Limited is an Australian resource company with projects in Australia and Canada.

In Canada, Corazon has consolidated the entire historical Lynn Lake Nickel Copper Cobalt Mining Centre in the province of Manitoba. It is the first time Lynn Lake has been under the control of one company since mine closure in 1976.

Lynn Lake presents Corazon with a major development opportunity - one which is becoming increasingly prospective as a result of recent increases in the value of both nickel and cobalt metals, and their expected strong demand outlooks associated with their core use in the emerging global electric vehicle (EV) industry.

In Australia, Corazon has recently increased its interest in the Mt Gilmore Cobalt Copper Gold Sulphide Project located in New South Wales, which hosts the Cobalt Ridge Deposit, a unique highgrade cobalt-dominant sulphide deposit.

Mt Gilmore is a recently recognised, regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive cobalt, copper and gold anomalism. The Company has recently completed definition drilling at the Cobalt Ridge Deposit and is currently identifying new areas prospective for additional Cobalt Ridge lookalike deposits.

Both Lynn Lake and Mt Gilmore place Corazon in a strong position to take advantage of the growing demand for commodities critically required for the booming rechargeable battery sector.
