NEW NICKEL-COPPER SULPHIDE TARGETS DEFINED AT LYNN LAKE

  • Preliminary results from the recently completed geophysical survey at Lynn Lake identifies multiple new priority nickel-copper sulphide targets

  • Due to the number of new prospective areas and the size of the geophysical dataset, interrogation of the data is on-going

  • Details of new priority drill targets and plans for the next phase of drilling is expected to be announced before the end of October

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn lake or Project), in Manitoba Province, Canada.

The Company has recently completed a 430 line-kilometre MobileMT airborne geophysical survey over a large portion of the Lynn Lake Project area (Figure 1), with the aim of defining and refining targets for the next phase of drilling (ASX Announcement 3 September 2020).

The interrogation of the geophysical data generated by the MobileMT survey is currently underway. Final detailed results with prioritised drill targets are expected by the end of October.

MobileMT is a relatively new geophysical technique for nickel exploration, and early results at Lynn Lake indicate that its suitability for exploring for massive sulphides deposits has far surpassed any of the previous geophysical techniques utilised at the Project.

Preliminary results from the MobileMT survey at Lynn Lake have identified several new areas of interest. The data for these areas is being incorporated with existing geophysical datasets, enabling the detailed definition of new priority drilling targets.

Corazon’s initial assessment is that priority targets will include coincident conductive and magnetic anomalies, a combination potentially indicating high concentrations of nickel-copper magmatic sulphide.

Additional information on priority targets for the next phase of drilling will be announced in due course.

About the MobileMT Geophysical Survey Technique

Corazon recently completed a regional aerial Magneto-telluric (MobileMT) geophysical survey over much of the Lynn Lake Project area (Figure 1).

Preliminary results from flight lines across the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre have proven this innovative new geophysical method to be highly effective in identifying nickel sulphide deposits.

MobileMT is the next generation in passive geophysical surveys. It utilises the latest innovation in airborne electromagnetics and the most advanced airborne audiofrequency magnetics technology. MobileMT has been successfully tested on various styles of mineralisation throughout the world.

Corazon initially considered the use of MobileMT for nickel exploration at Lynn Lake due to the ineffectiveness of electromagnetic (EM) geophysics in the Lynn Lake environment. EM is the standard electrical survey method most widely used for the direct detection of massive magmatic sulphides.

The MobileMT system provides a range of three-dimensional datasets that may be beneficial in distinguishing magmatic nickel-copper sulphides from other sulphide occurrences.

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 (Lynn Lake) 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 that is becoming increasingly prospective due to 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 industry.

In Australia, Corazon is developing the Mt Gilmore Cobalt Copper Gold Sulphide Project (Mt Gilmore) located in New South Wales, which hosts the Cobalt Ridge Deposit - a unique high-grade cobalt-dominant sulphide deposit.

Mt Gilmore is a regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive cobalt, copper and gold anomalism. The Company has 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.
