Exploration at MacBride between the 1940’s and early 1990’s defined the MacBride and Wellmet copper-zinc-goldsilver deposits and established the fertility of the region. The only recent exploration was a 2008 aerial VTEM (versatile time domain electromagnetic) survey, which identified the MacBride deposit as a conductor, along with multiple high-order conductive bodies, undercover along trend (ASX announcement 7 October 2024). These conductive bodies are yet to be followed up with drilling.

The MacBride Project is a major focus of Corazon’s Lynn Lake region exploration activities. The effectiveness of past geophysical VTEM surveys in defining drill-defined massive sulphide mineralisation has resulted in extending coverage over a larger part of the project area. The geophysical conductors defined from this work will be the priority focus for first pass drilling currently proposed for early 2025.

The MacBride Project expansion further enhances Corazon’s position as a significant landholder and active explorerdeveloper in the Lynn Lake district, which also hosts the Company’s 100% owned, flagship Lynn Lake Nickel-CopperCobalt Sulphide Project.

MacBride Project Summary

The MacBride Project is located within the Lynn Lake region of Manitoba, Canada (Figure 3). The region has a history of mining and exploration for magmatic nickel sulphide, volcanogenic zinc-copper-gold massive sulphide (VMS) and orogenic gold, dating back to the late 1940’s. The main historical mining operations have included the Lynn Lake

nickel-sulphide mining centre (100% owned by Corazon), the Fox Lake copper-zinc mine and the MacLellan-Gordon gold deposits.

VMS deposits typically exist as stratiform lenses of polymetallic sulphide mineralisation occurring in clusters (indicative of a “camp”). World-class VMS camps are well established within the province of Manitoba, including the Flin Flon – Snow Lake region, approximately 250 kilometres south of the Lynn Lake greenstone belt.

The MacBride Project hosts the outcropping, drill-defined, MacBride and Wellmet massive sulphide deposits; located approximately six kilometres apart, on a regionally identifiable stratigraphic trend (Figures 1 and 2).

Outcropping mineralisation was discovered in the MacBride area in the late 1940’s, with drilling campaigns completed through to the early-1990’s (ASX announcement 13 June 2024).

Drilling has tested the MacBride deposit over a strike of approximately 400 metres, to a depth of about 300 metres. Corazon is in the process of validating this historical work, with the intention of using the information to complete geological and resource modelling.

Historical exploration information at Wellmet is not as extensive as that for MacBride. No published reports are available regarding the exploration of this prospect since 1993 (~ 30 years).

Exploration at Wellmet has defined multiple sulphide shows and geophysical anomalies. Drilling of the main prospect intersected a number of zones including a main zinc-rich massive sulphide horizon, and a copper-gold dominant stringer horizon. Drilling has tested the main Wellmet Deposit over a strike of approximately 240 metres and to a depth of about 370 metres below surface.

The only modern exploration to be undertaken at the MacBride Project was an airborne VTEM geophysical survey completed by Western Areas NL (ASX:WSA) in 2008. Corazon has processed data from this VTEM survey and identified multiple electromagnetic (EM) conductive bodies (ASX announcement 7[th] October 2024). Three priority areas have been identified, including the MacBride North, MacBride South and MacBride Southeast prospects located within Figures 1 and 2.

The quantity and distribution of these anomalies suggest the MacBride Project has the potential to deliver a cluster of zinc-copper-gold-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, making MacBride a major focus for Corazon’s Lynn Lake region exploration activities. Planning is underway for 2025 work programs that will enable drilling of the priority conductors as soon as practicable.

The MacBride Project acquisition was announced on 13 June 2024. The Company can complete this acquisition by paying C$153,600 to the private owner of the projects. The date for completion of this payment has been extended, by mutual agreement, until the end of December 2024.

New Prospects Identified

The new claims area includes several prospects identified by historical exploration and included in the digital datasets offered by the Manitoba Department of Economic Development, Investment, Trade and Natural Resources (Figure 1).

Prospect SG-86-1 is a reconnaissance drill hole completed by Sherritt Gordon Mines Limited in 1986 that returned 4.01% copper with anomalous zinc, gold and silver within a chlorotic schist, over an interval of 0.6 feet (~0.2 metres) (Assessment Report #94004 – Diamond Drilling 1986). Assumptions are that this is possibly remobilised sulphide within a structure (shear/fault). The significance of this anomaly is that it sits close to one of Corazon’s highly ranked structural targets within the MacBride region. The aerial VTEM survey currently underway will cover this target, which is located immediately to the west of the 2008 VTEM survey.

Exploration in the area around the Wellmet Deposit in the early 1990’s by Registry Resources Inc and Manitoba Mineral Resources Ltd included mapping, geophysics and drilling (Assessment Report #72678 – Geological Mapping, Prospecting, Litho-geochemical sampling and VLF-EM Surveys 1993 and Assessment Report #72677 – Diamond Drilling 1993). This work extended the mineralisation at the Wellmet Deposit (also called Area A) and identified new prospects at Areas B, C, D, E and F (Figure 1).

Prospect Areas B, C, D and E are described as altered mafic and intermediate volcanics, sometimes gossanous at surface, with varying amounts of pyrite/pyrrhotite (iron sulphide), chalcopyrite (copper sulphide), sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and magnetite.

Mapping and sampling of the area also identified mineralised quartz/carbonate veining and structures hosted by quartz diorite intrusive rocks. Within Prospect Area F , surface grab and channel sampling of veining and structures within a quartz diorite returned high-grade gold results including 25.9 g/tAu, 2.67g/tAu and 1.08 g/tAu. The 1993 assessment report (#72678) also referenced prior sampling of this prospect (which has yet to be validated), including 17.6 g/tAu and 1.92 %Cu (1987), 21.5 g/tAu (1992). Interestingly, the documented east-west orientated host structures are coincident with the east-west trending “basal volcanics” interpreted in Figure 1.

Gold mineralisation hosted by quartz diorites is a style of mineralisation common within the Lynn Lake Greenstone Belt, and indicates the prospectivity of the MacBride Project for orogenic gold deposits such as the Gordon and MacLellan gold deposits currently being developed by Alamos Gold Inc (TSX:AGI) at Lynn Lake (Figure 3).

datasets provided by the provincial government of Manitoba.
These results are selectively reported by the government, focusing on what

is in the process of geo-rectifying these grids, such that all historical
samples can be captured (c.f. relying on the selective reporting provided by
the provincial government).
It is assumed that the sampling methodology was of an acceptable standard
for the time of reporting. Drill core sampling methodology is well
documented and involves manually breaking the drill core in half, by
cleaving with a hammer and chisel. There is no information regarding the
methodology of surface grab or channel sampling.
All original measures of length were in imperial feet and have been
converted to metric metres. Sampled intervals, for channel samples and
drilling, are variable.
Geological logging of the core appears to be of a good standard.
The historical drill core has not been inspected, with no drill core known to

reports that record the historical exploration exist from the late 1950’s.
Detailed assessment of this historical work is currently underway.
Historical Assessment Reports (available from the provincial government)
referencing the prospect locations and results disclosed in this report are listed
below:
Sherritt Gordon Mines 1986. Assessment Reports # 94004.
Registry Resources Inc and Manitoba Mineral Resources Ltd 1993.
Assessment Reports # 72677 and #72678.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits and orogenic gold deposits.
VMS deposits are typically zinc dominant on the margins of the system,
grading to copper (+ gold,silver) closer to the heat source structures. The
Wellmet Deposit hosts both zinc dominant and copper-gold dominant horizons.
