Exploration Programs

- - Lynn Lake Nickel Copper Cobalt Sulphide Project, Canada

Downhole geophysical testwork of drilling completed in 2020 and 2021 at the Fraser Lake Complex, within the Lynn Lake Project, has identified multiple “off-hole” electromagnetic ( EM ) conductors possibly indicative of massive sulphide mineralisation.

The priority targets for drilling are outlined in ASX announcement dated 16 April 2021 and are presented in the Company Presentation dated 9 September 2021. Additional targets are being defined, along strike, from ground and aerial geophysical surveys.

Drilling of these conductors is proposed to commence this month.

Corazon has entered into an option agreement pursuant to which it has been granted an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Miriam Project near Coolgardie in Western Australia’s Goldfields minerals district (ASX announcement 26 July 2021).

The Miriam Project is a highly prospective nickel exploration project hosting the Miriam Nickel Deposit, where drilling since the late 1960’s has intersected ‘high nickel tenor’ massive and disseminated sulphides.
