Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce it has completed the latest phase of drilling at its flagship project, the 100%-owned Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in the province of Manitoba, Canada.

The Northern spring-summer exploration-drilling program at Lynn Lake’s Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) (Figure 1) drill-tested three new priority target areas, intersected favourable rock types with low-levels of nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation, further validating Corazon’s exploration model at the FLC.

Samples have been submitted for multielement laboratory analysis and are expected to be available within two months; results will be released when available. The outcomes will further advance the Company’s understanding of the FLC system and aid vectoring to areas of potential sulphide accumulation.

Corazon's exploration continues to highlight the area west of the FLC, where the intrusion is interpreted to link up with the Motriuk and South Pipe intrusions (Figure 1). Drilling, supported by geophysics, has identified extensive near-surface sulphide mineralisation within the magma channels into both the FLC and Motriuk bodies, with the link to the South Pipe yet to be drill tested. This represents a priority target and is expected to be drill tested in the coming months, once the ground area has frozen.

In conjunction with its ongoing exploration drilling, Corazon is focused on progressing the potential redevelopment of Lynn Lake’s historical nickel sulphide Mining Centre (Figure 1) towards production. Current activities include defining areas for resource extension drilling and the drilling of new zones, plus metallurgical testwork utilising efficient modern processes. Results from this testwork will be announced as they become available.

Fraser Lake Complex Exploration Drilling Completed

The current phase of exploration drilling at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) has been completed. This program commenced in the previous quarter (ASX announcement 11 April 2022), with a total of nine holes completed for 3,924 metres of core (refer to Table 1 and 2 for details).

Initial drill testing of three new target areas was undertaken, from more than ten new geophysical anomalies defined by a detailed aerial gravity completed earlier this year (ASX announcement 17 January 2022). Targets tested included the Matrix Trend (one hole), Matrix North (one hole) and the Motriuk Ultramafic (seven holes) (Figure 2).

The initial hole into the Motriuk Ultramafic (FLC-2022-045) intersected low levels of magmatic sulphide (ASX announcement 7 June 2022) with encouraging visual identification of pentlandite (nickel sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide). Subsequent holes (FLC-2022-046 to 052) tested geophysical features at the entrance (feeder) to the Motriuk Complex, coincidently the only area accessible at this time of the year.

Table 1 – Drill hole location details

The Motriuk Ultramafic historically has been considered nickel-deficient compared to the average for such ultramafic rock (pyroxenites and peridotites). It is assumed the nickel was extracted from the melt as sulphide (pentlandite) during the magma’s transportation to Motriuk, or during settling in the current location. The amount of sulphide mineralisation reported in the drilling is around 1-5% of volume, and although these are low levels, the existence of visible pentlandite is very encouraging.

The Motriuk Ultramafic body is “keel-like” in shape, with a base that has been defined by geophysics. There is potential for the heavy sulphide material to settle and accumulate at depth within the intrusion. Drill hole FLC-2022-052 proposed to test the magnetic keel of the intrusion at depth. This hole supports that the magnetic high feature within the Motriuk intrusion is an altered peridotite (ultramafic). This peridotite has the same magnetic signature as the peridotite that flanks the gabbro hosted orebodies mined at Lynn Lake.

Drill holes into both the Matrix Trend and Matrix North stopped short of the target depths, with the intention of testing with down-hole electromagnetic surveys prior to completion. This work is proposed for completion later this year.

Samples from the recent drilling have been submitted for multielement analysis and are expected to be returned over the next two months. Results will be released when available.

Drilling to date at the FLC and surrounds have resulted in the identification of extensive magmatic sulphides in the western area, where magmatic channels are interpreted to flow (possibly) from the South Pipe, north into both the FLC and Motriuk. This area is also littered with volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits (barren of nickel), geophysical “redherrings” that have complicated interpretations and influenced the rankings of targets defined. This area is a priority exploration focus and is being considered for additional work this coming winter.

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 hosts a large JORC nickel-copper-cobalt resource and 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 exploring the Miriam Nickel-Copper Sulphide Project (Miriam) in Western Australia and the Mt Gilmore CobaltCopper-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.

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.

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.
