Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce it has completed all earn-in requirements to acquire 100% of the Lynn Lake Nickel Copper Cobalt Sulphide Project (Project) area in Canada, and has now exercised the option to acquire 100% of the Project area.

As previously announced, Corazon has consolidated the entire Lynn Lake nickel-sulphide mining centre, historically one of Canada’s largest nickel producing operations, under its sole ownership.

This includes ground 100% owned by Corazon following its acquisition of the Victory Nickel-Copper Project (ASX announcement 1 April 2015), and additional ground (referred to as the Dunlop Project area) where Corazon has the rights to acquire 100% ownership (ASX announcements 9 August 2012 and 29 July 2015).

Corazon advises it has now satisfied its obligations for settlement to exercise its Option to Acquire 100% interest in the Dunlop Project area, which covers a large portion of the wider Lynn Lake Project (Figure 1).

Ownership title for the Dunlop Project area is in the process of being transferred to Corazon.

In accordance with existing agreements, the current owner of the Lynn Lake Dunlop Project will retain production payment and royalty rights. The change of ownership will also trigger a payment of 4.5 million Corazon shares to the original vendors of the Australian and Canadian holding companies, as a consideration conditional on the completion of the transaction.

The Dunlop Project area represents a critical component of the wider Lynn Lake Project (Figure 1), covering the high-grade EL Mine and the very exciting Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) intrusion, which

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 17 APRIL 2020

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.

Boasting large JORC compliant resources and beneficial infrastructure, 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. Both metals are forecast to have 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 (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 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.

This announcement has been authorized on behalf of Corazon Mining Limited by Managing Director, Mr Brett Smith.
