Additional Information on Spodumene Bearing Pegmatite – Miriam Project in Western Australia

Discovery of pegmatite at surface with high concentrations of spodumene (lithium).

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to provide additional information and cautionary statements regarding the lithium-bearing pegmatite discovered within the Miriam Nickel Sulphide Project (Miriam or Project) in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, previously announced to the ASX on 8 December 2022.

Initial site reconnaissance by Corazon has discovered widespread indications of pegmatite throughout the Project, including an outcrop hosting abundant large spodumene crystals (Figure 1). The identification of spodumene has been verified using Raman Spectroscopy (explained within Table 1).

The Miriam Project area is covered by extensive thin alluvium and colluvium soils. The outcropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite exists within an old gold prospecting trench. Though the extent of the pegmatite is yet to be defined, there is abundant pegmatitic ‘float’ material throughout the Project area.

Visual descriptions and photos of spodumene provided within should not be used to estimate the lithium content of the pegmatite. Selected samples of the mineralised pegmatite submitted for laboratory analysis will define the lithium content and to some degree identify the effects weathering and alteration has had on the lithium content.

Ongoing work will include exploration to confirm the extent of the lithium mineralisation within the Project area, in tandem with the aggressive nickel sulphide exploration program previously proposed.

The recently acquired Miriam Project is host to the undeveloped Miriam nickel-sulphide deposit, discovered in 1969. The Project is located approximately 10 kilometres southsouthwest of Coolgardie on an ultramafic trend, which also hosts Auroch Minerals’ (ASX: AOU) Nepean Nickel Deposit.

Spodumene Description

Rock samples of spodumene-rich outcropping pegmatite were extracted from a historical prospecting trench (examples shown in Figure 1). At surface, this pegmatite is weathered and the spodumene is greyish-green in colour, and partially replaced by albite and ultrafine muscovite (alteration and weathering processes). In fresh pegmatite samples, the spodumene is unaltered, yellowish white in natural light and shows orange luminescence color under long wavelength UV light. Spodumene crystals observed are generally 1.5-3 centimetres in width and up to 40 centimetres in length.

Rock samples submitted for analysis have an estimated spodumene content of approximately 5% to 20%. These visual descriptions should not be used to determine the lithium content of the pegmatite. Samples submitted for laboratory analysis are variable in character, with a focus on acquiring information that will identify the effects of alteration and weathering has on the overall lithium content within the pegmatite.

Cautionary statement: Visual estimates should not be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis, which are required to determine the grade of the mineralisation, assay results are expected in late December 2022.

More detailed descriptions of the samples submitted for laboratory analysis will be provided with the assay results once received. It is expected the outcrop of pegmatite sampled is a very small representation of the intrusive unit, that appears to strike north-south and can be traced via indications within the soil profile for at least 10 metres. The true dimensions of the pegmatite, or the representativeness of this outcrop for the entire pegmatite, cannot be determined without drilling.

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 nickel deposits (Auroch Minerals, ASX: AOU).

The Miriam Project covers an area of about 6 kilometres by 1.5 kilometers and comprises five Prospecting Licence applications (P15/6135 to P15/6139 inclusive). Corazon has acquired the rights to 100% of the Miriam Project (ASX announcement 22 April 2022), with the tenements currently in application status and in the process of being granted.

In 1969, Anaconda Australia Limited discovered the Miriam Deposit, located within the Project, and during the late 1960s and early 1970s conducted most of the known nickel exploration. 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. In places, subsequent drilling extended the drilled depth to about 300 metres below surface. The initial defining drill intercepts for the Miriam Deposit included (ASX announcement 26 July 2021):

  • 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

Referenced open-file documents (ASX announcement, 26 July 2021) detailing historical work define a nickel-copper endowment for the Miriam Deposit. This work is not compliant with current JORC standards, and further drilling is required for the definition of a JORC resource estimate at the Miriam Project.

Much of the historical drilling which tested the ultramafic sequence north and south of the Miriam Deposit was shallow percussion drilling that did not penetrate the overlying oxidised zone, and many of the holes did not reach the ultramafic footwall target. There is extensive untested opportunity to target nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth and along strike from previous drilling.

More recent nickel exploration campaigns were undertaken at the Miriam Project 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 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. Miriam’s most recent geophysical testwork for

About Corazon

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) is an Australian resource company with projects in Australia and Canada. The commodity mix of Corazon’s projects place it in a strong position to take advantage of the growing demand for metals critically required for the booming rechargeable battery sector.

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 hosts a large JORC nickel-copper-cobalt resource and presents Corazon with a major development opportunity that is becoming increasingly prospective in line with 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 exploring the Miriam Nickel-Copper Sulphide Project (Miriam) in Western Australia and the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Sulphide Project (Mt Gilmore) 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.

Mt Gilmore is centered on a regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive copper, cobalt, silver and gold anomalism, including high-grade rock chip samples over a strike of more than twenty (20) kilometres. Mt Gilmore also hosts the Cobalt Ridge Deposit - a unique high-grade cobalt-dominant sulphide deposit.

comparing the measured Raman spectra with spectra obtained from
Spodumene reference materials. The comparison shows a clear overlap of both

Raman spectroscopy has been widely used to identify minerals within the rock
samples. Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive method for identifying
minerals and other materials. The method illuminates a mineral with
monochromatic light for an illumination duration and a true Raman spectrum is
determined. The true Raman spectrum data is compared to reference
spectrums to identify the mineral or material by calculating an identification
score for each reference Raman spectrum relative to the Raman spectrum data
of the unknown material using a formula that includes both a coincident-peak
term and a missing-peak-penalty term.
Minerals can have overlapping Raman spectrum response, as such any
identification of minerals is interpretive and can require collaboration using
alternate methods.
Ultraviolet (UV) light has also been used in mineral identification. Spodumene
can have a fluorescent response to UV light.
