Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce the completion of its latest phase of exploration drilling at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), within the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in the province of Manitoba, Canada.

Drilling comprised a two-hole diamond core program for a total of 869 metres at a high priority conductive anomaly (MTC-1) and adjacent IP chargeability high anomaly. Low-level Lynn Lake style magmatic sulphide mineralisation has been intersected, with results from samples submitted for laboratory analysis to be reported once they are available.

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

The program has delivered further confirmation that, as a base case, the FLC hosts a large body of near-surface, magmatic sulphide mineralisation. It has also validated Corazon’s use of innovative, new geophysical techniques to explore for nickel sulphide deposits at the FLC.

The FLC is located approximately five kilometres south of the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre and is Corazon’s principal exploration focus on the Project (Figure 3).

The FLC hosts a large magmatic sulphide system, approximately six kilometres by three kilometres; to date, Corazon has undertaken wide-spaced drilling over a targeted portion of the system (approximately 1.5 by 1.5 kilometres).

The Company has progressively refined its drill targeting approach, adopting new and innovative geophysical techniques that have substantially enhanced its exploration model at the FLC. These included a recent 3D induced polarisation (IP) and magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical survey, which defined three high-priority conductive anomalies and presented immediate drill targets: MTC-1, MTC-2 and MTC-3 (Figure 1) (ASX announcement 13 June 2023).

Initial Observations from the Current Phase of Drilling

This program is the second phase of drilling designed to test priority anomalies generated by the 3D IP and MT geophysical survey. The initial phase of drilling targeting MTC-3 was completed in 2023.

Results from drilling MTC-3 (ASX announcement 15 August 2023) indicated the potential for the MTC-1 anomaly to be a mineralised magmatic intrusion.

Drilling at MTC-1 included two core holes totaling 869 meters. Hole FLC2024-061 targeted the MT conducive anomaly, while FLC2024-060 investigated an IP chargeability high anomaly adjacent to MTC-1.

MTC-1 aligns with the Matrix Trend (Figure 1), an IP chargeability high anomaly where past drilling has defined lowgrade nickel and copper sulphides over and extensive area. Anomaly MTC-1 also correlates with pipe-like gravity highs, suggesting a magmatic structural influence similar to mineralisation within the Lynn Lake mining centre.

Drill hole FLC2024-061 has identified MTC-1 as a late intrusive event within Fraser Lake gabbro, containing altered gabbro and country rock xenoliths. Lynn Lake's sulphide deposits share similar geological traits, reinforcing the potential for significant mineralisation within the FLC.

Drill hole FLC2024-060 tested an IP chargeability high anomaly on strike and between MRC-1 and a gravity high pipelike feature (ultramafic). Low tenor magmatic sulphides were intersected in this drilling.

IP geophysics has been effective in mapping sulphide mineralisation. Drilling of a large IP chargeability high (Figure 2) indicates the potential for a large body of near-surface, low-tenor, Lynn Lake style magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation, within the FLC.

Next Steps at the Fraser Lake Complex

Samples of sulphide mineralisation from the current phase of drilling have been submitted for laboratory analysis, with results expected to be received in the current quarter. These results will be interpreted and used to refine Corazon’s exploration model at the FLC and define targets for any future drilling.

Other Activities

Lynn Lake - Canada

  • Mining and metallurgical testwork programs are continuing for the historical Lynn Lake nickel-copper-cobalt mining centre. Excellent results returned to date, utilising 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 Q3 2024. Following this work, a fully optimised and scheduled mine plan will be generated for assessment.

Mt Gilmore - NSW

  • A new, high-priority porphyry copper-gold target has been defined at the May Queen prospect – a significant anomaly with a strike length of ~2km, possessing mineral chemistry analogous with known giant porphyry copper-gold deposits in NSW (ASX announcements 2 April and 5 April 2024).

  • Corazon is preparing for a maiden drill program at the May Queen prospect and is currently addressing access requirements and drilling approvals.

Miriam - WA

  • Corazon is divesting 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).

  • The transaction is expected to be completed in May and will deliver 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.

  • Securing work program approvals for drilling (from the WA Government) is expected to be completed Q2 2024.

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

Lynn Lake is an historical mining centre. All past drilling has been recorded by
surveyors on a Local Mine Grid. All drilling has been transformed to real-world
coordinate system NAD 83 Zone 14. The “Z-Values” for surface drilling have
been adjusted and pegged to the surface DTM provided by a 2022 Lidar
geophysical survey. All underground drilling within the Mining Centre has been
corrected such that drill holes have elevations defined by underground plans
and sections, and subsequently transformed to elevations defined by real-
world coordinate system NAD 83 Zone 14.
The Company considers the accuracy of the x, y and z coordinates of the
underground drilling to be very good. While the x and y coordinates for the
surface drilling are very good, a caution approach has been taken for the
accuracy of the z values, and it is expected corrections will be undertaken
when access to the underground workings is achieved.
Historical exploration drill holes (for example at the Fraser Lake Complex) were
surveyed by mine site surveyors and have been digitally captured, transformed

Lynn Lake is an historical mining centre, discovered in the late 1940’s,
explored and operated as a mine by the company Sherritt Gordon up until
1976. Subsequent to mine closure, the tenure has been in part owned by
multiple parties. Corazon has consolidated the mining centre and all

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Greenstone hosted magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposits
associated within mafic/ultramafic intrusives (gabbro related).
Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits also exist in the project area.
These are zinc dominant, with lesser amounts of lead, copper, silver and gold.

reporting of Exploration Results. Known nickel-copper-cobalt magmatic sulphide deposits in the Lynn Lake
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.
