CORAZON TO ACQUIRE NICKEL-SULPHIDE PROJECT IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
-
Corazon has an exclusive option to acquire the Miriam Nickel Project in the Goldfields of Western Australia.
-
The Miriam Project complements Corazon’s core asset, the Lynn Lake NickelSulphide Project in Canada, and provides the opportunity to further expand its nickel inventory.
-
The Miriam Nickel Deposit was discovered in 1969[(1)] – historical drilling has identified a ‘high nickel tenor’ within massive and disseminated sulphide[ (2)] .
-
The nickel sulphide prospectivity of the Miriam Project is defined by broad zones of “cloud sulphide” within multiple ultramafic channel sequences, over a 2.5 kilometre strike that includes the Miriam Deposit and the Miriam North and Bouchers North nickel prospects.
-
The Miriam Project hosts excellent potential along strike and at depth from known prospects – it has undergone minimal nickel exploration over the past 20 years and there is extensive untested opportunity to target nickel sulphide mineralisation
-
Corazon is currently undertaking due diligence on the Miriam Project and will update the market upon its completion.
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement pursuant to which it has been granted an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Miriam Nickel Sulphide Project (Miriam or Miriam Project) near Coolgardie in Western Australia’s Goldfields minerals district.
The acquisition of the Miriam Project would complement Corazon’s core asset, the more advanced Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project in Canada.
Miriam is a highly prospective nickel exploration project hosting the Miriam Nickel Deposit, where drilling since the late 1960’s[(1) ] has intersected ‘high nickel tenor’ massive and disseminated sulphides[(2)] . The initial defining drill intercepts for the Miriam Deposit included:
9.6m @ 5.60% Ni 12.5m @ 0.56% Ni 3.2m @ 2.59% Ni 0.9m @ 5.57% Ni 6.1m @ 0.90% Ni
The Miriam Project represents a strategic opportunity to expand Corazon’s portfolio of nickel sulphide assets and add to its nickel inventory, in a rapidly increasing global market appetite for quality Class-1 Nickel, driven by the rising demand from the rechargeable battery sector.

Corazon’s Chairman, Mr. Terry Streeter stated; “ The Miriam Project presents an opportunity to strategically add to our nickel project portfolio, and provide a new exploration asset to complement our quality nickel sulphide project at Lynn Lake in Canada.
What attracted us to Miriam is the amount of sulphide that has been identified on that trend from the historical, widely spaced exploration drilling. There is a lot of smoke and we believe, that with modern high-powered geophysics, there is a good opportunity to better define nickel sulphide concentrations along strike or down-dip from the defined prospects.
The Miriam Project exhibits a high-nickel content in the nickel sulphides intersected in previous drilling. There are multiple channel sequences that have potential to host nickel sulphide, along with broad zones of cloud sulphide within the ultramafics drilled along strike to the north and south. We are currently undertaking project due diligence and once its completed, we will advise of the outcome .”

About the Miriam Project
The Miriam Project is located approximately 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie on a trend of ultramafics best identified by the Miriam and Nepean (Auroch Minerals : AOU) nickel deposits (Figure 1).

The Miriam Project covers an area of about 6 kilometres by 1.5 kilometers and comprises five Prospecting Licence applications (refer to Table 1 – Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria).
Anaconda Australia Limited discovered the Miriam Deposit, located within the Project, in 1969, and conducted most of the known nickel exploration in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This work defined the core of the Miriam Deposit over a strike of about 150 meters and to a depth of at least 150 metres below surface. Subsequent drilling extended the drilled depth in places up to about 300 metres below surface.
Referenced open-file documents (Table 1 – Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria) detailing historical work defines a nickel-copper endowment for the Miriam Deposit. This work is not compliant with today’s JORC standards, and further drilling would be required for the definition of a JORC resource estimate at Miriam.
Much of the historical drilling, which tested the ultramafic sequence north and south of the Miriam Deposit, was shallow percussion drilling that did not substantially penetrate the overlying oxidized zone. Many of the holes have not reached the ultramafic footwall target. There is extensive untested opportunity to target nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth and also along strike from previous drilling.
More recent nickel exploration campaigns were undertaken during the mid-1990’s (Crest Resources NL) and early-mid 2000’s (Berkeley Resources Limited JV’s with MPI and Sipa Exploration NL). This work continued to identify massive and disseminated nickel sulphides, located within or close to a well-defined channel sequences.
The existence of this defined target trend will allow Corazon to undertake focused and detailed exploration programs, utilising modern higher-powered electromagnetic (EM) geophysics. The most recent geophysical testwork for nickel sulphide exploration was completed in the early 2000’s, where EM proved successful in identifying drill defined mineralisation at the Miriam Deposit.
Option Agreement Details
Corazon has entered into an option agreement with Limelight Industries Pty Ltd (Vendor), pursuant to which it has been granted an option to acquire up to 100% of the Miriam Project (comprising Prospecting Licence applications P15/6135 to P15/6139) on the following terms:
-
Corazon has been granted an exclusive option to conduct due diligence on the Miriam Project for a period of three (3) months in consideration for an option fee of $75,000 (plus GST) (Option).
-
If Corazon elects to exercise the Option, Corazon will be required to:
-
pay a non-refundable amount of $125,000 to the Vendor with five (5) business days of exercise of the Option;
-
pay an amount of $400,000 to the Vendor on the earlier to occur of the date that is six (6) months after the date of exercise of the Option and the date of grant of tenure; and
-
grant the Vendor a net smelter return royalty of 2%.
-
The Vendor will retain the right to mine mullock dumps (for gold mineralisation) and to metal detect for a period of three (3) years subsequent to the grant of tenure.

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 is developing 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 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.
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.

Early exploration of the Miriam Project utilized a local grid system. Work by Crest Resource Australia in the mid-1990’s located the collars of all drilling in real world coordinates (AGD84 AMG Zone 51). The accuracy of this survey cannot be determined from the historical data. |
