QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
PERIOD ENDING 31 MARCH 2021
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is a base metals explorer advancing the entire Lynn Lake Nickel Copper Cobalt Mining Centre in Canada, and the Mt Gilmore Cobalt Copper Gold Sulphide Project in N.S.W. Both are regarded as quality projects with the potential to supply strategic metals to what is forecast to be a major growth sector – the rechargeable battery industry. Corazon is an aggressive explorer and has recently discovered new, large sulphide systems at both of its projects.
The Company is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 March 2021 (Quarter).
Q U A R T E R H I G L I G H T S :
DOWNHOLE EM IDENTIFIES MULTIPLE CONDUCTORS AT LYNN LAKE
-
Initial phase of the 2021 drilling campaign has been completed
-
Drilling intersected favourable host rocks and extensive indications of magmatic NiCu sulphide mineralisation
-
Three holes completed for a total of 1,482 metres resulting in a successful first-pass test of a new target area west of the Fraser Lake Complex
-
Downhole EM (DHEM) geophysical surveys in progress
-
Multiple “off-hole” EM conductors have been identified in the target area – potentially indicative of sulphide bodies
-
Conductors represent high priority targets for the next phase of drilling
-
DHEM program is ongoing – plans for the next phase of drilling will be formalised after the DHEM program is complete
CORAZON CONFIRMS PORPHYRY POTENTIAL AT MT GILMORE
-
Corazon’s most recent phase of exploration at Mt Gilmore confirmed its potential for “intrusive related copper-cobalt-gold/silver deposits”
- Mineralised porphyry intrusion is located coincidently with a large Cu-Au geochemical anomaly and an IP chargeability geophysical anomaly at the Gordonbrook Hill Prospect
-
This mineralised porphyry target is now the priority exploration focus at Mt Gilmore
-
Drilling permits for this target have been received, and drilling is scheduled for the first half of 2021
CAPITAL CONSOLIDATION
- Corazon shareholders approved the consolidation of the Company’s issued capital on the basis of one (1) share/option for every twenty (20) shares/options currently held, reducing the number of shares on issue to approximately 162.67 million from the previous number of issued shares, being approximately 3.253 billion.

LYNN LAKE NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT SULPHIDE PROJECT
Overview
Corazon owns 100% of the Lynn Lake NickelCopper-Cobalt Sulphide Project area, and is the first company to have control of the entire Lynn Lake nickel camp since mine closure in 1976. The Company believes the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre (Mining Centre), with large JORC compliant resources and infrastructure, has significant redevelopment potential.
The Lynn Lake Project (Figure 1) has exceptional discovery potential, with new exploration techniques and a modern understanding of these nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide systems resulting in the discovery of several new areas of mineralisation at Lynn Lake.
As part of Corazon’s process of defining Lynn Lake’s development potential, new quality resource estimations have been completed and modern metallurgy has delivered a major technical breakthrough, producing separate high-value and high-purity nickel and copper concentrates.
This work will enable the determination of value for Lynn Lake, at a time when there is an expectation of future increased demand for metals.

Initial Phase of 2021 Drilling at Lynn Lake Completed
Post Quarter-end, Corazon announced initial findings from the first phase of its 2021 drilling campaign at the Lynn Lake Nickel-CopperCobalt Sulphide Project (ASX announcement 16 April 2021).
Corazon completed three holes for a total of 1,482 metres in this phase of drilling at Lynn Lake, resulting in a successful first-pass test of a new target area west of the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) (Figure 2). Drilling also confirmed MobileMT’s effectiveness in identifying areas most favourable for magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulphides at Lynn Lake.
The recent drilling within the target area west of the FLC (Figure 3) intersected favourable host rocks and extensive indications of magmatic sulphide mineralisation.
“ The innovative aerial MobileMT geophysics identified a large area of conductance, previously not recognised as prospective for nickel-copper sulphides.
Our first round of drilling in this area intersected the right rocks and some good magmatic sulfides that enhance the potential of the target area.
Now, with the detailing of DHEM conductors of a good size, that support the MobileMT interpretations, we have expectations that this large conductive trend to the west of the Fraser Lake Complex has the makings of a nickelcopper sulphide target area similar in size to the Lynn Lake mining centre”.
Corazon’s Managing Director, Mr Brett Smith

Downhole Electromagnetic Geophysical Survey (DHEM) Underway – Delivering Results
Subsequent to the recent drilling, Corazon completed a DHEM program on the most recent and previous phases of drilling. DHEM will more accurately define conductive bodies close to drill holes, within larger areas of anomalism defined by the aerial surveys.
The DHEM identified multiple new conductors of substantial size (ASX announcement 16 April 2021), which may represent sulphide bodies. These anomalies will be priority targets for the next phase of drilling and underpin the potential for the entire conductive trend, identified by MobileMT, to the west of the FLC.
The definition of the DHEM conductors has confirmed the effectiveness of MobileMT as an exploration tool for Lynn Lake style mineralisation. Analysis of the DHEM data has focused on the identification of responses that could indicate larger bodies of magmatic sulphide. Plates of interest have been chosen on the basis of their longer wavelength response, in preference to shorter wavelength characteristics of smaller bodies.
Corazon is currently formalising plans for the next phase of drilling and will provide details in due course.

MT GILMORE COBALT-COPPER-GOLD PROJECT
Overview
The Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project (Mt Gilmore) is located 35 kilometres from the city of Grafton in north-eastern New South Wales (Figure 4). Corazon owns an 80% interest in Mt Gilmore and is managing and sole funding exploration until any future decision to mine is made.
Much of Mt Gilmore’s historical exploration has focused on the Cobalt Ridge prospect (Cobalt Ridge) - a rare high-grade cobalt sulphide deposit.
Work by Corazon since acquisition in mid2016, underpins the belief that Mt Gilmore is prospective for hosting large intrusive related copper-gold systems, enriched in cobalt.
Corazon’s recent exploration of the prospective “Mt Gilmore trend” uncovered a major copper – cobalt – silver - gold geochemical trend, potentially representing a +20 kilometres-long, district-scale exploration play for large intrusive related copper-cobalt-gold deposits.
Next Phase of Work at Mt Gilmore
The results of Corazon’s most recent phase of exploration at Mt Gilmore confirmed the project’s potential for “intrusive related copper-cobalt-gold/silver deposits”. The identification of a copper-bearing diorite porphyry intrusion at the Gordonbrook Hill Prospect significantly advancing Mt Gilmore’s prospectivity potential (ASX announcement 9 October 2020).
This intrusion is located coincidently on the margins of a high-grade copper and gold soil geochemical anomaly, and the surface projection of a concealed, high-value, Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical anomaly (Figure 5).
These coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies at Gordonbrook Hill represent a significant mineralised porphyry target, which is now the priority target at Mt Gilmore.
All permits for drilling this target have been received, and drilling is scheduled for the first half of 2021.
