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.

Competent Persons Statement :
The information in this release that relates to Exploration Results and Targets for the Lynn Lake Project is based on information previously disclosed in the following Company ASX announcements.
The ASX Announcements are available on the Company’s website (www.corazon.com.au) and the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under the Company’s ticker code ‘CZN’.
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Targets is based on information compiled by Mr. Brett Smith, B.Sc Hons (Geol), Member AusIMM, Member AIG and an employee of Corazon Mining Limited. Mr. Smith has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr. Smith consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
Canadian geologist Dr Larry Hulbert has been engaged by Corazon as an expert in magmatic nickel suphide deposits. Dr Hulbert has extensive knowledge of the Lynn Lake district and over 40 years’ experience in Ni-Cu-PGM exploration and research. Dr Hulbert is one of North America's foremost experts on magmatic sulphide deposits and would qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”.
Dr. Hulbert has authored numerous professional papers, was the recipient of the Barlow Medal from CIM in 1993, a Robinson Distinguished Lecturer for the Geological and Mineralogical Association of Canada for 2001-2002, and in 2003 received the Earth Sciences Sector Merit Award from Natural Resources Canada.
This announcement presents results of an “Orion 3D DCIP and MT Deep Imaging geophysical technique”, work undertaken by Quantec Geoscience. Quantec Geoscience is an accredited geophysical consultancy who have developed the Orion geophysical method for targeting large sulphide systems.
The results of the 3D DCIP and MT survey have been audited, processed and interpreted by the Company’s consultant geophysicist and ‘expert’, Martin St-Pierre (P. Geophysicist) from St-Pierre Geoconsultant Inc., based in British Colombia, Canada. He has consulted for numerous mining companies including majors and has extensive experience in magmatic nickel sulphide exploration. He was part of the team that received an excellence in exploration award from BHP for the Ekati diamond mine discovery. Mr St-Pierre consents to the release of this geophysical interpretation as it appears within this announcement.
