-
Corazon’s Entitlement Issue to eligible shareholders will remain open until 6 August 2020
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce that preparations are underway for the recommencement of drilling at the Lynn Lake NickelCopper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in the Manitoba Province, Canada.
Corazon’s recent exploration activities at Lynn Lake were interrupted due to seasonal local flooding caused by the northern hemisphere spring melt.
The current phase of drilling at Lynn Lake is focused on its priority exploration target, the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), located five (5) kilometres south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre (Figure 1) and displaying widespread areas of sulphide mineralisation.
The Company is currently testing a compelling new target at the FLC. The initial drill hole (FLC2020-22, Figures 2 and 3) into this target was partially completed in the previous quarter, with drilling reaching the top of the defined target anomaly at a downhole depth of 523.4 metres (approximately 400 metres below surface) (Figure 2) (ASX announcement 1 May 2020).
Corazon has now successfully completed a site inspection and green-lighted the recommencement of drilling hole FLC2020-22. Personnel and equipment are being mobilised to site, and drilling is scheduled to recommence at drilling by the end of July.

Priority Target at Fraser Lake Complex
The current priority target being tested at the FLC is located on the basal contact of the gabbroic intrusion and has been identified by a number of different geophysical methods.
The initial drill hole (FLC2020-22) reached the top of the defined anomaly before drilling was paused. Of important note is that the hole has displayed an increase in sulphide content (of between 1% and 8% from about 490 metres down-hole) with depth, closer to the geophysical target and in line with the Company’s geological model for the target (ASX announcement 1 May 2020).
Sulphide mineralisation intersected in drill hole FLC2020-22 to-date is variable in form, from trace amounts to disseminated and interstitial concentrations up to 30% over small intervals (typically less than one (1) metre). The sulphide mineralisation in dominated by pyrrhotite (iron sulphide), with variable quantities of pentlandite (nickel sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide).

The Company’s systematic exploration has defined the general architecture of the FLC and identified geophysical features indicative of nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation.
Corazon has identified economic (and barren) sulphide mineralisation within the gabbroic intrusions of the FLC by utilising multiple geophysical methods including magnetics, induced polarisation (IP), electromagnetics and gravity.
The priority anomaly currently being drilled is best identified by ground magnetics, analysed using a relatively new geophysical processing technique called magnetic vector inversion (MVI). In 2019, Corazon trialed MVI within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre and it proved to be highly effective in defining known mineralisation to depths of at least 600 metres. The MVI approach has now been used to define targets within the FLC.

The current drill target at the FLC is a flat lying magnetic feature at the basal contact of the intrusion, covering an area of at least 350 metres by 200 metres. The peak of the magnetic anomaly sits at about 450 metres below surface, with the base of the FLC intrusion interpreted to be at about 500 metres below surface (figures 2 and 3).

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 (Figure 4). It is the first time Lynn Lake has been under the control of one company since mine closure in 1976.
Lynn Lake is 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 has 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 high-grade 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.
