Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 December 2013. The quarter’s activities were dominated by continued exploration at the Company’s Top Up Rise (“TUR”) Project in the Gibson Desert region of Western Australia, with completed work including drilling and geophysics.

TUR is a large residual gravity anomaly measuring 10km by 6km, located in a region believed prospective for intrusive related copper-gold mineralisation.

Exploration to date by Corazon has identified widespread low levels of sulphide mineralisation, including chalcopyrite (copper-sulphide), over a large area within the confines of the gravity anomaly. Drilling completed has not yet identified rocks of sufficient density to explain the gravity anomaly and, as such, it is assumed that a dense body exists at depth below the areas drilled.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

TOP UP RISE PROJECT, AUSTRALIA

Drilling

During the December quarter, the Company completed a second phase of exploration drilling at TUR, including reverse circulation (“RC”) and diamond core (“core”) drilling. RC drilling included eight holes for 2,306 metres, testing a number of areas to gain a broader understanding of TUR’s geology below the sand cover. Hole DD003, which previously intersected strong sulphide mineralisation and a Troctolite (differentiated gabbroic rock), was extended with core drilling to a depth of 816.3 metres.

Table 1 :- Top Up Rise Project – Phase 2 drill hole collar details. (* = drill-hole DD003 previously drilled to 631.6m was extended to 816.3m)

In two phases of drilling completed at the TUR Project, fourteen holes have been drilled, five with core extensions, for a total of 3,545 metres RC and 1,420.8 metres core.

Corazon’s two main objectives for the second phase of drilling were to:

  1. Continue to test for the source of the TUR gravity anomaly, which remains unexplained based on the types and density of rocks intersected to date. In particular magnetic features apparent from aeromagnetic geophysics were targeted (drill holes DD003, RC007 to RC012) ; and

  2. If possible, test targets defined from the VTEM geophysical survey (holes RC013 and RC014).

A very complex history of alteration and mineralisation has been observed. Aside from the mafic hosted Ni-Cu potential, there are extensive low levels of Pb-Zn-Cd anomalism, coincident with lithic contacts, or as hydrothermal mineralisation. As yet, major structures such as faults and shear zones have not been targeted by drilling.

In line with the results of the first phase of drilling, the drill chips from the second-phase RC drilling consistently demonstrated visual signs of disseminated sulphide mineralisation, including chalcopyrite and pyrite, across a broad area within the large gravity anomaly (Figure 1). These sulphides identify a low level of metal anomalism and as yet no economic tenors of grades or widths have been intersected.

Due to this second phase of drilling targeting magnetic features (compared to gravity highs), there was a significant increase in the amount of mafic lithologies intersected. These units have a distinct

geochemical signature and analysis is continuing to determine their prospectivity for sulphide mineralisation associated with differentiated mafic intrusions (for example the Voisey’s Bay Ni-Cu-Co deposit).

The core extension of DD003 intersected a cumulative total of approximately 184 metres of gabbro, including Troctolite (a rare differentiated gabbro that has the potential to host magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation). Petrological analysis of sulphides within the Troctolite at TUR identified chalcopyrite and lamellae of pentlandite (nickel sulphide) hosted within pyrrhotite. The identification of the Troctolite and pentlandite is considered to be a particularly significant finding given it suggests the potential for a Ni-Cu sulphide deposit.

Due to the delay in receiving final results from the aerial Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (“VTEM”) survey conducted over TUR, the Company was unable in phase two drilling to adequately test the targets defined. However, two holes (RC013 & Rc014) were drilled within a broader conductive feature defined in the VTEM. These holes did not identify the source of the conductive feature.

Geophysics

The Company completed a VTEM survey over TUR in November 2013. VTEM has been used extensively worldwide to identify both conductive units and massive sulphide bodies (base metal deposits).

A total of 765 line-kilometres of VTEM completed over the TUR gravity anomaly identified conductive features in both early time and late time. It is interpreted that thick conductive Canning Basin sediments (particularly to the west and east of TUR) have masked basement and prevented the VTEM penetrating to depth. Over the bulk of the TUR gravity feature, it is interpreted that the VTEM has penetrated these thin sediments; however major faults, marginal to the anomaly, are covered by conductive basin sediments and as such mask any potential anomaly at depth.

A large late time conductive feature coincident with lithological and structural trends has been identified in the middle of the gravity anomaly (Figure 2).

This feature has been tested to the full extent of VTEM’s capacity and, as such, full interrogation of the anomaly is problematic. Ground geophysical surveys are being planned to further assess the potential of this conductive target.

The final data for this survey was received just prior to Christmas, and the final analysis of this data was very recently completed by consultants. The delay in receiving the data meant the results of the survey could not be used to target drilling completed in the 2013 programme. The Company has drilled two holes to approximately 260m vertical depth into parts of this anomaly. There is no visible indication as to the source of the anomalous conductive feature within the overlying (Permian) sediments or basement rocks.

Application made for target adjacent to Top Up Rise Project

Corazon has made a “first in line” application for the Kiwi North Project in the same region as the TUR Project. This project was previously owned by Toro Energy and includes the Kiwi North discovery made by Toro in 2011 (Figure 3).

==> picture [282 x 445] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Kiwi North Project location

In summary, the Kiwi North Project includes:

  • A discrete 10 mGal gravity anomaly, located on an intense linear magnetic anomaly, on the eastern side of the major northeast trending Top Up Rise Fault.

  • Thin soil and sand cover, with scattered outcrops of steeply-dipping metasedimentary rocks of the Palaeoproterozoic Arunta Domain.

  • Multiple >50 metre thick intervals of banded iron formation (BIF), with magnetic susceptibilities >100 times background, related to magnetite. The dimensions of the magnetic anomaly imply multiple stacking of BIF’s over a 20 kilometre strike.

  • Exploration in 2011 resulted in the discovery of discontinuous massive ironstone outcrops over a minimum strike length of 7 kilometres. Restricted zones in the outcrops have elevated radiometric signatures confirmed by assay to be related to uranium and rare earth elements (REEs).

  • Rock chip results reported by Toro Energy in their September and December 2011 quarterly reports identify anomalous values for iron, total rare earth oxides (TREO), copper and uranium.

The Company will provide a more detailed assessment of this project once the tenement has been granted.

TUR Project Background

The TUR Project is defined by a large buried geophysical anomaly covering an area of approximately 10km by 6km, on the eastern edge of the Gibson Desert in Western Australia.

To date, exploration by Corazon at TUR has identified a geochemical anomaly coincident with the geophysical anomaly . Importantly, results have indicated a robust base and precious metal association between copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, silver and gold. Although widespread, the tenor of mineralisation is low and as yet the Company has not identified economic grades of metal.

The source of the TUR gravity anomaly remains unexplained and cannot be accounted for purely from the type of rocks intersected in the drilling completed to date. Although it is accepted that the density of these materials may be increased via significant and substantial alteration and/or mineralisation, the Company is yet to intersect such rock in a scale substantial enough to explain the TUR anomaly.

Initial interrogation of assay results received has identified the possibility of both a mafic and granite (porphyry) source for the mineralising fluids. Mafic host units intersected in the drilling conducted to date have included amphibolite, gabbro and late dolerite dykes. All are variably mineralised, altered and deformed.

The discovery of an intrusive mafic lithology identified as a Troctolite presents the possibility of nickelcopper sulphide deposits as a target, as separate to the mineralisation observed to date. A Troctolite is a rare differentiated gabbroic rock which is considered an important host unit at the large Voisey’s Bay nickel deposit in Canada and is found in other large layered mafic terrains such as the metal rich Bushveld Igneous Province in South Africa.

Petrological analysis of sulphides within the Troctolite at TUR has identified lamellae of pentlandite (nickel sulphide) within pyrrhotite. The identification of the Troctolite and pentlandite is significant as it identifies a fertile environment for formation of nickel-copper sulphide deposits.

The granitic rocks intersected to date are extremely altered and deformed and as such are difficult to identify. These units appear to host lesser quantities of sulphide mineralisation than the altered metasediments, however it is common for quartz veining (within or marginal to these units) to be mineralised.

LYNN LAKE NICKEL-COPPER SULPHIDE PROJECT, CANADA

Project update

The Lynn Lake Project continues to represent a significant development opportunity for Corazon. The key target within the project area is the EL Deposit, which was historically the highest grade deposit at Lynn Lake, producing 1.9Mt at 2.5% nickel and 1.15% copper. In 2010, Corazon discovered a highgrade sulphide breccia at depth below the EL Mine, a discovery which confirmed the prospectivity of the Lynn Lake project area.

December quarter activities by the Company at Lynn Lake focused on continuing the definition of the EL Deposit’s benefits, with the view towards recommencing a mining operation in Lynn Lake. The EL Deposit has significant drill defined mineralisation from surface, surrounding the historical mine. This mineralisation is not included in the current interim Inferred Resource (JORC 2004), but is defined by the “Upper-Zone Exploration Target” and may be exploitable by open-pit mining methods (details of Exploration Target provided in ASX announcement dated 9[th] December 2011).

BEAUCAGE LAKE GOLD PROJECT, CANADA

Project update

Corazon’s December quarter activities at the Beaucage Lake project were limited to the continued collation and interpretation of historical exploration data to assist in target generation for future drilling. Information acquired to date indicates a number of significant untested high grade gold anomalous zones identified from sampling of limited outcrop that are coincident with favourable geophysical trends that are potential drill targets.

Corazon believes the high tenor of gold mineralisation, over a large area near Beaucage Lake, may be indicative of a large scale mineralised system and the acquisition of Beaucage Lake provides the Company with an additional exploration focus which complements Corazon’s Lynn Lake nickel-copper project and Barrington Lake copper deposit.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
· Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down-
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc.). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
· Exploration at the Top Up Rise Project
E80/4427 consisted of a combination of Diamond
and Reverse Circulation drill holes. Drill hole
locations and orientations were based primarily on
geophysical information. To date a total of 14
holes (5 with diamond tails) have been drilled for
4,965.8m.
· Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
· The drill hole collar locations were picked up
by handheld GPS and corrected for elevation using
data acquired by radar and DGPS during a detailed
airborne magnetic, radiometric and digital terrain
survey by Aeroquest Airborne in November of
2011.
· Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this
would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which
3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may
be required, such as where there is coarse gold that
has
inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types
(e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
· Diamond drill core (NQ2) was sampled on
geological intervals, cut into half on site and sent
to the laboratory. Reverse Circulation drilling was
used to obtain either 1m split samples or 4m
composite samples of approximately 3kg which
were transported to the laboratory. Samples were
crushed, dried and pulverised to produce a
representative sub-sample for analysis by either
Fire Assay, Aqua Regia or Four Acid Digest with an
ICP/OE or ICP/MS or AA finish.
Drilling
techniques
· Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
· Drilling was completed by Wallis Drilling with
a multipurpose rig, all holes were collared with
reverse circulation and 5 were extended with
diamond tails. The core diameter was NQ2,
standard tube and had a maximum depth of
816.3m. Core was orientated utilising a Reflex tool.
Drill
sample
recovery
· Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
· Drill sample recoveries were measured and
recorded in the database during logging. The
overall recoveries are good and there are no
significant sample recovery problems.

· Specification of the grid system used. · MGA52 (GDA94)
· Quality and adequacy of topographic control. · A digital terrain model was produced by
Aeroquest Airborne using data acquired by radar
and DGPS during a detailed airborne magnetic,
radiometric and digital terrain survey in November
of 2011. The digital terrain data derived was tie
line levelled and gridded, then examined and
selectively microlevelled to produce a grid without
line dependent artifacts.
Data
spacing
and distribution
· Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
· The spacing of the drill holes is significantly
large (170-2460m) due to the large size of the
gravity anomaly and the 'greenfield' nature of the
Project. Selected targets have had two relatively
close spaced holes drilled to allow for a more in
depth assessment of the geological variability of
the area.
· Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
· Not relevant at this stage of the project. There
is insufficient information available.
· Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
· Sample compositing (4m) has been selectively
applied during the RC drill program. Spear samples
were taken from four consecutive metres and
composited into one sample.
Orientation
of
data in relation
to
geological
structure
· Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
· The orientation of the drilling was vertical or
west/east dipping at 60 or 70deg which was
adequate for this early stage and nature of drilling
to provide initial geological information on key
lithologies, structure and potential mineralisation.
One diamond hole was vertical (targeted over a
gravity high) and the other four were all drilled to
the east.
· If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have introduced a
sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported
if material.
· No orientation based sampling bias has been
identified in the data at this point.
Sample security · The measures taken to ensure sample security. · Chain of custody is managed by Corazon.
Samples are stored on site or in a locked sea
container prior to being delivered to the
laboratory in Alice Springs by approved personnel.
Audits
or
reviews
· The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
· A review of the geology, sampling techniques
and data led to a change in assay technique from
Aqua Regia (partial) to Four Acid (full) digest.
Additionally, gold and platinum group element
values
were
obtained
through
Fire
Assay.
Continuous review of data and methods by experts
due to the earlystage of thisproject.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement
and
land
tenure
status
· Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
· The Top Up Rise Project (TUR) is located in
Western
Australia
and
consists
of
three
exploration licences (E80/4583, E80/4427 &
E80/4584) held by Border Exploration Pty Ltd. All
the ground based exploration (e.g., drilling) to date
has been confined to E80/4427. Corazon Mining
Limited has the sole and exclusive right to earn up
to an undivided 75% shareholding interest in
Border. Border has a Native Title Agreement with
Tjamu Tjamu (Aboriginal Corporation).
· The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
· The tenement is in good standing with the
DMP and there are no known impediments for
exploration on this tenement.
Exploration
done by other
parties
· Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
· The project area has had little or no past
exploration. Exploration was initiated based on
gravity anomalies defined by surveys conducted by
GA/GSWA in 2006. Much of the recorded mineral
exploration in the area has focused on outcropping
Proterozoic rocks located outside the project area,
some distance to the east and south.
Geology · Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
· The Top Up Rise Project is situated at the
meeting of the Arunta Inlier to the east and the
Canning Basin to the west. Within the project, thin
sand cover from sand dunes of the Gibson Desert,
cover a flat lying sequence of Permian sedimentary
rocks. The basement is interpreted to be
Proterozoic rocks of the Arunta Inlier.
Drill
hole
Information
· A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
· Refer to table in body of text.
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length
· If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not Material
and this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the case.

Data
aggregation
methods
· In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
· No averaging techniques, truncations or cut-
offs were used.
· Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
· No aggregate intercepts have been shown in
this report.
· The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
· No metal equivalent values are used for
reporting exploration results.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
· These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of Exploration Results.
· If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
· Structural analysis of the drill core is currently
being assessed. At this point the company is
unable to define any bias in the data that is a
result of the geometry of the mineralisation.
· If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length,
true width not known’).
Diagrams · Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.
· Refer to figures in the body of the text.
Balanced
reporting
· Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
· Refer to the body of text.
Other
substantive
exploration data
· Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical
test
results;
bulk
density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
· The outlines of anomalies are identified on
figures in the body of text.

Further work · The nature and scale of planned further work
(e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
· On going work programs at Top Up Rise are
currently being reviewed.
· Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.
