ASX Announcement 18 March 2026
Corazon Expands Plutonic Marymia Footprint Following Agreement with IGO
Highlights
-
Corazon has secured the right to apply for exploration licences to expand its landholding in the prolific Plutonic Marymia Greenstone Belt to 537km[2] , strengthening its position in the region.
-
The agreement includes the transfer of all historical exploration data, including non-public datasets.
-
The new tenure captures observed extensions of the Plutonic greenstone sequence, featuring a mapped NE-trending linear structure known to host gold mineralisation.
-
The new 5km corridor of outcropping greenstones has seen limited historical drilling, despite its geological significance.
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX:CZN) (‘Corazon’ or ‘Company’) is pleased to announce a significant expansion of its landholding within the highly prospective Plutonic Marymia Greenstone Belt. Following the execution of a withdrawal agreement with IGO Limited (ASX:IGO), Corazon has secured a large contiguous tenement package, which substantially increases its operational footprint in the region.
The tenement package is located approximately 45km east-northeast of the Plutonic processing facility and 200km north of Meekatharra, situated directly south of Corazon’s existing Two Pools Project. Corazon believes this presents a compelling opportunity to unlock significant value by applying modern, systematic exploration programs to this underexplored area.
Corazon Mining Ltd Managing Director, Simon Coyle, commented:
“Securing this additional ground and the associated historical data from IGO is a fantastic outcome for Corazon. Accessing the De Beers dataset – which has remained outside the public domain – gives us a significant advantage as we move to apply modern exploration techniques to this underexplored 5km greenstone corridor. We see clear structural parallels to the high-grade gold mineralisation at Plutonic and are eager to get on the ground to test these new targets”.

Geological Context
The project area is interpreted to be a stratigraphic extension of the Plutonic Greenstone Belt, comprising a sequence of Archean-aged mafic, ultramafic, and minor sedimentary rocks. Structurally, the area appears to mirror the established Plutonic sequence to the west, with units striking north-northeast and dipping to the northwest.
Recent analysis of open-file magnetic imagery suggests that a NE-trending array of structures, which bound the southern edge of the Marymia Dome, splay off and crosscut the tenement area. Notably, tenement E52/4528 exhibits cross-cutting structures similar to those observed at the main Two Pools mineralization zone. These structural features are key hosts for significant gold occurrences throughout the belt, yet they remain virtually untested within Corazon’s new tenure.
Key Terms of the Agreement
Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement:
-
IGO has agreed to withdraw its current applications for E52/4528 and E52/4529 to enable Corazon to apply for exploration tenements over the same ground under exploration license number E52/4573.
-
Corazon will pay IGO a completion payment of A$35,000 cash, plus reimbursement of A$5,984 in application fees.

ASX Announcement 18 March 2026

- IGO grants Corazon a perpetual, irrevocable, licence to all mining and technical information relating to the applications.
Under the terms of the Royalty and Milestone Deed:
-
Net Smelter Return (NSR) Royalty: Corazon will grant IGO a 1.5% NSR Royalty on all gold (and other products) extracted and recovered from the tenements.
-
Milestone Payment: Corazon will pay IGO a A$1,000,000 cash payment upon the announcement of a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of at least 100,000 ounces of gold (or gold equivalent) within the tenements.
Historical Data and Next Steps
As part of the agreement with IGO, Corazon has gained access to a comprehensive suite of historical data. This included proprietary exploration records from De Beers that are not currently available in the public domain.
Past exploration within the new tenement was limited to wide-spaced surface sampling, leaving a 7km long by 700m wide corridor of outcropping greenstones completely undrilled.
Corazon intends to integrate the IGO/De Beers data into its regional models over the coming period. Moving forward, the Company will apply modern exploration techniques to the area including:
-
Close-spaced, fine-fraction soil sampling to refine geochemical targets.
-
Modern geophysical surveys to better define subsurface structural controls.
The Company looks forward to providing further updates as these technical reviews progress and drill targets are finalised.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Corazon Mining Limited.
