DRILLING UNDERWAY AT

LYNN LAKE NICKEL SULPHIDE PROJECT

  • Drilling is underway at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project in Canada

  • Program to include ~1,500m of core drilling designed to:

  • Test near-surface targets within the mine area with the potential to add to the existing Resource; and

  • Test new geophysical anomalies at the highly promising Fraser Lake Complex, 5 km south of Lynn Lake

  • Drilling is expected to be completed in April and results will be released as they become available

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce that the next phase of drilling has commenced at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Canada.

In this program, the Company plans to complete approximately 1,500 metres of diamond core drilling at high priority targets within the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre, as well as at regional targets at the Fraser Lake Complex, situated five kilometres south of Lynn Lake.

All personnel are on site and the drill rig is setup on its initial hole, in final preparations for drilling. Drilling will commence this week, with this phase of work expected to be completed in April.

Lynn Lake Mining Centre

The program within the Mining Centre is designed to define additional areas of mineralisation that have the potential to add to Lynn Lake’s already substantial resource base.

Corazon’s recent exploration drilling at Lynn Lake has focused on testing the near surface expressions of historic underground mines, which operated continuously for 24 years until 1976. The Company’s drilling in December 2019 was highly successful and delivered multiple high-grade nickel sulphide intersections (ASX announcement 21 January 2020), including:

“A Orebody”

  • 37.8 metres @ 1.68%Ni, 0.67%Cu, 0.050%Co from 10 metres; including

  • 22.6 metres @ 2.30%Ni, 0.82%Cu, 0.068%Co from 24.4 metres

“E Orebody”

  • 4.5 metres @ 1.17%Ni, 0.22%Cu, 0.029%Co from 25 metres

  • 4.1 metres @ 2.09%Ni, 0.57%Cu, 0.073%Co from 26.9 metres

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 18 March 2020
----- End of picture text -----

The current phase of drilling will test both the A Orebody and E Orebody areas and further define the near-surface resource potential of these targets.

Fraser Lake Complex (FLC)

Corazon has systematically explored the Fraser Lake Complex – an intrusive mafic body situated approximately five kilometres south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre – since December 2016, and believes it has the potential to host significant nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposits.

The best results returned to date from FLC drilling (ASX announcement 29 August 2017) include:

  • 22.6 metres @ 0.70% Ni & 0.35% Cu from 258m (hole #14)

  • 27 metres @ 0.37% Ni & 0.16% Cu from 30m (hole #16)

The sulphide textures and style of mineralisation observed at the FLC are analogous to that observed within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.

The recent exploration within the Mining Centre has refined targeting methodologies, particularly with respect to the processing and interpretation of geophysical datasets. These new processes have been applied to the FLC, resulting in a much more complete understanding of the framework of the mafic intrusion and generating new geophysical features for testing in this phase of drilling.

About Corazon

Corazon Mining Limited is an Australian resource company with projects in Australia and Canada. These projects are focused on metals that are critical for the emerging global electric vehicle industry.

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, with large JORC Resources and exciting brown-fields exploration potential.

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

Recent work by Corazon has established Mt Gilmore as a regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive copper, cobalt, silver and gold anomalism.

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.

ENDS

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