Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce initial stage exploration results from the MacBride base and precious metals project (MacBride) nearby the Company’s 100% owned Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in the province of Manitoba, Canada.

==> picture [97 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

Corazon has processed data from an aerial VTEM (versatile time domain electromagnetic) survey completed in 2008, identifying multiple electromagnetic (EM) conductive bodies (Figure 1). 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, similar to the drill-defined MacBride deposit.

==> picture [384 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [125 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Corazon Managing Director Mr Brett Smith states – “ We believe the MacBride Project has the potential to be a substantial stand-alone exploration play in the Lynn Lake district. Our data processing has generated multiple geophysical conductors, with nine high-priority targets identified and modelled. One of these is coincident with the outcropping drill-defined MacBride zinc-copper-gold-silver deposit. The other targets, which are yet to be drilled, are near-surface and generally as large if not bigger than the MacBride deposit conductor, providing multiple high quality exploration targets which are an immediate priority for Corazon.”

Next Steps

The MacBride Project has become a major focus for Corazon’s Lynn Lake region exploration activities. Planning is underway for work programs that will enable drilling of the priority conductors as soon as possible. The relatively elevated terrain of the MacBride Project can be explored throughout most of the year.

The Company plans to undertake ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys to better locate and define the conductive bodies defined by the aerial VTEM survey. The results of this work are aimed at confirming initial priority drill targets. Ground EM surveys have the capacity to test deeper than VTEM, and better define the size and orientation of conductors for drilling.

The Company will continue to update the market on its exploration activities as they progress.

MacBride Project Summary

The MacBride Project is one of three new areas Corazon has announced the intention to acquire. Details of this acquisition are provided in the ASX announcement dated 13 June 2024. The Company can complete this acquisition by paying C$153,600 to the private owner of the projects, before the 13 December 2024.

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, immediately south of the Lynn Lake greenstone belt.

Outcropping copper-zinc-gold-silver sulphide mineralisation was discovered at MacBride in the mid-1950’s, with drilling campaigns completed through to the early-1990’s. To date, historical data has identified 41 holes drilled in the vicinity of the MacBride deposit, with 29 of these holes defining the high-grade mineralisation.

Drilling has tested the 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. An interpretive cross-section through the MacBride deposit is provided in Figure 2.

Historical mapping has identified numerous copper mineralisation occurrences within the MacBride Project. Corazon is in the process of digitally capturing this exploration data, for inclusion in the target generation process.

VTEM Survey Modelling

An airborne VTEM geophysical survey completed by Western Areas NL (ASX:WSA) in 2008 is the only modern exploration work undertaken at the MacBride Project. Corazon has acquired the raw data for this geophysical survey and engaged independent consultant St Pierre Geoconsultant Inc (St Pierre) to interrogate and generate geophysical targets for ongoing exploration.

The VTEM survey identifies numerous conductive bodies (Figure 1), predominantly located along a seven kilometre stratigraphic horizon within the MacBride Project. St Pierre completed a quantitative assessment and ranking of all conductors, with nine priority anomalies highlighted. Maxwell Geophysical Modelling software was used to further interrogate the data and design “plates” that best characterise the orientation and dimensions of the conductive bodies (Table 1).

The first step in this assessment was to model the VTEM EM response for the existing drill-defined MacBride deposit, for comparison against the other conductive bodies. The modelling of the outcropping MacBride deposit VTEM conductor produced a high CT [(1)] (Conductivity Thickness) plate of 410 siemens, with a strike length of 150 metres, a depth extent of at least 400 metres. The conductor may continue deeper, however the VTEM system is limited in its capacity to be effective at such depths.

It should be noted that the modelled 150 metre strike of the MacBride conductor plate is significantly less than the drill defined mineralisation of 400 metres.

Evidence from the historical drilling indicates that the sulphide mineralisation at MacBride includes sphalerite (zinc), chalcopyrite (copper) and the iron sulphides pyrite and pyrrhotite. Since sphalerite is one of the rare metallic sulphides that is both non-conductive and non-magnetic, the EM response at MacBride is attributed to the other metallic sulphides. Should the conductive metallic sulphides be reduced in quantity, a sphalerite dominant VMS mineralisation would display substantially less conductivity. For this reason, prioritising conductors based on CT values alone may not be appropriate.

In addition to the MacBride deposit EM anomaly, St Pierre identified three other areas of interest, which contain eight significant bedrock conductors (Figure 1, Table 1). Of these target areas, top priority is given to MacBride North (plates 4A to 4D in Table 1 and Figure 1) as it has the greatest size potential and combination of low and high CT

values (30 to 276 siemens).

Second priority is given to MacBride Southeast due to the size potential of plates 2A and 2B, even though the CT values range from low to low-to-moderate (39-73 siemens). The high CT Plate 3 (260 siemens) is small, but its structural connectivity to plates 2A and 2B make it an inclusive target.

The third priority is given to MacBride South (plate 1) due to its smaller size potential even though it has a high CT value (282-631 siemens). The location of this target is consistent with the stratigraphic horizon occupied by MacBride and MacBride North.

Other Company Activities

Lynn Lake – Manitoba Canada

Mining and metallurgical testwork programs are continuing for the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre. Excellent results returned to date, from a number of processing technologies, has led to an extension of the metallurgical testwork program (ASX announcement 23 August 2023). The current phase of studies is anticipated to be completed in Q4 2024. Following this work, a fully optimised and scheduled mine plan will be generated for assessment.

The goal of the current mining and metallurgical studies is to define the value of a potential Lynn Lake nickel-coppercobalt mining opportunity and set a pathway through to production.

Nickel, copper and cobalt are Critical Metals of growing interest in Canada and the United States of America. With the growing dominance of nickel products from Chinese-backed Indonesian mining operations, north American battery and automobile manufacturers may struggle to secure nickel sources that qualify for benefits of Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. As such, generating sources of domestic supply have assumed high importance.

Mt Gilmore - NSW

A new, high-priority porphyry copper-gold target has been defined at the Mt Gilmore Project’s May Queen prospect. This target is a significant anomaly with a strike length of ~2 kilometres, possessing mineral chemistry analogous with known giant porphyry copper-gold deposits in NSW, Australia (ASX announcements 2 April and 5 April 2024).

Corazon has completed a maiden drill program at the May Queen prospect, with drilling intersecting favourable lithologies, alteration and copper mineralisation (ASX announcement 2 October 2024).

Miriam - WA

Corazon has divested an 85% interest in the lithium and industrial minerals rights for the Miriam Project in Western Australia, to Future Battery Minerals Limited (FBM) (ASX announcement 25 March 2024 and 24 May 2024).

The transaction delivered initial cash and FBM shares to Corazon, with performance rights allowing the Company to

participate in any future upside from FBM’s exploration or development success at the combined Miriam and Kangaroo Hills lithium projects.

Corazon will retain 100% of the base and precious metal rights at Miriam and be free-carried on the lithium exploration costs (with 15% ownership) until completion of a positive definitive feasibility study.

This announcement has been authorised on behalf of Corazon Mining Limited by Managing Director, Mr. Brett Smith.
