Exploration Program
Exploration at Lynn Lake is focused on a number of fronts including defining areas for near surface mineralisation for future resource definition and testing new areas for Lynn Lake style nickel-coppercobalt sulphide mineralisation.
The results of drilling in December 2019 (announced to the ASX 16 January 2020) identified exceptional mineralisation, near surface and adjacent to historically mined areas. These results included –
“A Orebody”
-
37.8 m @ 1.68%Ni, 0.67%Cu, 0.050%Co from 10 metres; including
-
22.6m @ 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
Drilling has yet to fully test the “A Orebody” and “E Orebody” areas. Additionally, several other areas within the main mining centre may provide similar opportunities for near surface mineralisation. Testing of these areas is a priority for Corazon.
Exploration will also target areas outside the Mining Centre, that hold good potential for discovery. A priority target is the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), five kilometres south of Lynn Lake, where recent drilling by the Company has returned results such as –
o 22.6 metres @ 0.70% Ni & 0.35% Cu from 258m
o 27 metres @ 0.37% Ni & 0.16% Cu from 30m
Exploration work at FLC is well underway and is expected to identify priority drill targets for consideration in the near term.
