MAJOR NEW TARGET UNLOCKED AT LYNN LAKE NICKEL SULHIDE PROJECT

  • Corazon’s recent drilling program at the Lynn Lake Project’s Fraser Lake Intrusive Complex (FLC) has been completed, including four holes for a total of 2,143 metres

  • Drilling and geophysics has mapped a sulphide rich feeder conduit for approximately 3.5 kilometres – intruding into the FLC and providing a major focus for exploration

  • The change in sulphide composition and morphology along this conduit provides a vector to sulphide accumulation and on-going drilling

  • New geophysical modelling shows the mineralised conduit feeds into an area of high density, possibly ultramafic lithologies (prospective for massive sulphide deposits), which have not been previously recognised and is untested by drilling

  • This new target will be prioritised in Corazon’s next phase of exploration drilling, expected to commence in the New Year

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce it has completed its latest drilling campaign at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), located within the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Manitoba Province, Canada, and that drilling has identified a major, immediate-priority target.

This exploration program consisted of four (4) holes for a total of 2,143 metres. Drilling tested the western and eastern extents of a mineralised intrusive conduit (channel), identified as the Matrix Trend geophysical anomaly, within the FLC (Table 1, Figure 1).

Core samples have been submitted for analysis, with results expected in February 2022.

Drilling by Corazon has examined the Matrix Trend induced polarisation chargeability high anomaly over a strike of approximately 1.6 kilometres. The Matrix Tend is interpreted to be part of a feeder conduit (intrusive horizonal channel) that can be traced over approximately 3.5 kilometres, intruding as a late event into a pre-existing gabbroic complex (the FLC) (Figure 1).

The variation in geochemistry, sulphide composition and form (Figure 3) noted in drilling along the Matrix Trend provides a vector to sulphide maturity and possible accumulation sites. New modelling of geophysical data indicates that the mineralised conduit feeds into an area of high density within the FLC, a geophysical signature indicative of ultramafic rocks (Figure 2).

Of note within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre, ultramafic lithologies have a close spatial and timing association with massive nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposits. The area of high density comes close to the surface but has not been previously recognised or tested with drilling. The potential for massive sulfide deposits to exist in close association with ultramafic lithologies, within the extremely mineralised FLC, has become a priority focus for exploration at Lynn Lake.

The exploration program at the FLC will resume early in the New Year.

Drilling at Lynn Lake has now progressed to the historic Mining Centre, where a hole is currently being drilled at the ‘EL’ nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposit, to provide samples for further metallurgical testwork.

Overview of the Matrix Trend – Mineralised Conduit

Corazon’s exploration focus at the FLC has been the Matrix Trend, an IP chargeability high (anomaly) defined by geophysical surveys between 2016 and 2018. The Matrix Trend is interpreted to be an exposed (by erosion) part of a magma conduit that has “punched” into the older and more fractionated Fraser Lake “gabbroic” complex. The intrusive conduit can be traced laterally over 3.5 kilometres, from the “South Pipe” intrusion to the southwest of the FLC (Figure 1).

New modelling of geophysical datasets indicates the conduit system plunges into the FLC and into an area of higher density (Figure 2), which is indicative of ultramafic lithologies. Ultramafics (peridotites) have yet to be identified in outcrop or drilling within the FLC, however, within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre, peridotites have a very strong spatial and timing association with the massive nickel sulphide orebodies.

Hot colours depict dense lithologies, similar in character to peridotites that are spatially associated with massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre. Gravity dataset 200m station spacing (1968. Datum NAD83 Zone 14.

The existence of peridotites within the FLC would be extremely encouraging and enhances the possibility for the discovery of a Lynn Lake-style mineralised system.

Corazon has drilled 20 holes in the Matrix Trend geophysical anomaly area since 2017, over a strike of about 1.6 kilometres. Information from this drilling, including geochemistry and the mapping of sulphide morphology, has refined models and supports a maturing of sulphide generation eastward along the Matrix Trend (Figure 3).

From west to east within the Matrix Trend there is an increase in nickel and copper content, as well as an increase in the mineral size of pentlandite (Ni-sulphide) and chalcopyrite (Cusulphide).

The current model for the Matrix Trend is that it is essentially the “vapor trail” of a sulphide-rich magma that has intruded further into the FLC. Sulphide-rich and ultramafic melts are very hot, less viscous, potentially more penetrative, and will travel further than gabbroic melts. The possible existence of ultramafic within the FLC, intruding close to the surface (Figure 2), provides an excellent target, and a focus for exploration in early 2022.

Overview Recent Drilling

This current phase of drilling was completed in two areas, both of which tested gabbros associated with the feeder conduit, being the Western Contact Zone (holes FLC-2021-30B and FLC-2021-31) and the Matrix Trend (holes FLC-2021-36 and FLC-2021-40) within the FLC. Assays have been sent for laboratory assessment, with results expected in February 2022.

Drill holes FLC-2021-30B and FLC-2021-31 tested downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) conductors defined from drilling earlier this year. These targets were believed to be potential sulphide bodies on the northwestern exposure of gabbroic units, within the FLC (Figure 1) and possibly associated with the sulphide rich magma pulses intruding into the FLC from the South Pipe to the south.

Both FLC-2021-30B and FLC-2021-31 intersected extensive sulphide material. The geophysical anomalies are believed to be caused by sulphidic sediments (typically barren of nickel), which have been caught up in the gabbroic intrusive complex. The gabbroic rocks encasing these sediments contained variable quantities of fine-grained magmatic sulphide (up to 5%), and are considered highly prospective for nickel sulfide deposits within the Lynn Lake area.

Drill holes FLC-2021-36 and FLC-2021-40 were drilled further to the northeast, along the Matrix Trend (Figure 1).

Hole FLC-2021-36 tested the area north of the Matrix Trend which hosts coincident anomalies generated by a variety of geophysical methods. This hole intersected several large faults, bounding a variety of rock types. The last 260 metres of the hole intersected a gabbro with very strong ultramafic mineral composition, believed to be similar to the norite/orthopyroxenite lithologies that host mineralisation within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre. This is significant as, while the gabbros within the Matrix Trend display a very high MgO content (up to 18% MgO), ultramafic intrusives (spatially associated with massive sulphide deposits in the Lynn Lake Mining Centre) are yet to been defined within the FLC.

Although no strong concentrations of sulphide were intersected in this drill hole, the structural complexity and existence of gabbros with a more ultramafic composition, support the prospectivity of the area and the need for downhole electromagnetic surveys to further test for sulphide bodies in proximity.

Hole FLC-2021-40 tested an area southeast of hole FLC-2021-36, towards the western margin of the Matrix Trend. Sulphide mineralisation was overall low in tenor, although there is a visual increase in chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) compared with hole FLC-2021-36, and areas of blebby magmatic sulphide up to 5%. This wide dispersion of sulphide mineralisation is typical in the altered gabbronorites within the Matrix Trend.

Downhole EM surveys are proposed to be completed early in 2022, along with the recommencement of exploration drilling at the FLC.

About Corazon

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) 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 has the Miriam Nickel-Copper Sulpide Project (Miriam) in Western Australia and the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Sulphide Project (Mt Gilmore) located in New South Wales.

Miriam is a highly prospective nickel sulphide exploration project, representing a strategic addition to Corazon’s portfolio of nickel sulphide assets.

The Mt Gilmore 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.

The commodity mix of Corazon’s projects place the Company in a strong position to take advantage of the growing demand for commodities critically required for the booming rechargeable battery sector.

explored and operated as a mine by the company Sherritt Gordon up until
1976. Subsequent to mine closure, the tenure has been in part owned by
multiple parties. Corazon has consolidated the mining centre and all

reporting of Exploration Results. Known nickel-copper-cobalt magmatic sulphide deposits in the Lynn Lake
Mining Centre are typically “pipe-like” in form, averaging between 80m and
120m in strike, 30m to 60m in width and with vertical extents of 100’s of
metres. The historically mined deposits in the Lynn Lake area have been
developed to a maximum depth of approximately 1,100 metres.
Multiple sulphide pipe-like deposits have been identified and mined in the Lynn
Lake area. The core of these bodies can be massive sulphide bodies or
sulphide breccia bodies, grading out in sulphide intensity to weakly
disseminated at the margins.
The ‘form’ of the mineralised bodies within the Fraser Lake Complex is less
defined. Drilling to date supports concentrations of sulphide proximal to
sedimentary xenoliths and interpreted structures. Gravitational accumulation
of sulphide minerals is also widely observed. Pipe-like feeder bodies within the
Fraser Lake system have yet to be defined.

The Lynn Lake deposit are described as “pipe-like bodies” that can be
influenced by controlling structures. Drilling for the reported program attempts
to test areas adjacent to historical infrastructure and mining. Reported
mineralised intervals may not be defined as “true widths”. Where possible,
information regarding true widths is provided.
