QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
PERIOD ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2021
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the December 2021 Quarter.
H I GL I GH T S :
NICKEL SULPHIDE EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT IN CANADA AND AUSTRALIA
MAJOR NEW TARGET UNLOCKED AT LYNN LAKE NICKEL SULPHIDE PROJECT
-
Exploration in 2021 focused on the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) – south of the Corazon’s 100% owned Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Mining Centre
-
Drilling and geophysics has mapped a sulphide-rich feeder conduit for approximately 3.5 km – intruding into the FLC and providing a major focus in the search for a “Lynn Lake like” magmatic sulphide system
-
The 2022 exploration program has commenced with a detailed aerial gravity survey presently underway – this survey is expected to provide improved detail from which drilling targets will be defined
-
An immediate priority is identifying discrete dense bodies within the “eye” of the FLC
RESOURCE UPGRADE CONFIRMED AT LYNN LAKE
-
Significant Resource upgrade confirmed at Lynn Lake – with 20% of the new Resource within the high-quality Measured JORC category
-
The new Resource Estimate includes (at a 0.5% Ni base cut):
-
Measured 3,282,000t @ 0.67% Ni, 0.32% Cu, 0.030% Co
-
Indicated 9,616,000t @ 0.70% Ni, 0.34% Cu, 0.035% Co
-
Inferred 3,422,000t @ 0.79% Ni, 0.33% Cu, 0.027% Co
-
For total contained metal of 116,800t Ni, 54,300t Cu, 5,300t Co
-
Upgraded Resource is from just three of the six deposits that make up the existing Lynn Lake Resource – noteworthy potential exists for significant further Resource expansion
NEW MINING AND METALLURGICAL STUDIES UNDERWAY FOR THE LYNN LAKE MINING CENTRE
-
Corazon’s ongoing mining studies indicate that Lyn Lake’s consistency of mineralisation and good-to-excellent rock mass provides an excellent foundation for a potential bulk, low cost, mining operation
-
Drill core for additional metallurgical testwork is currently en route to Australia
OPTION EXERCISED TO ACQUIRE NICKEL-SULPHIDE PROJECT IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
-
Corazon has exercised its option to acquire the Miriam Nickel Sulphide Project in the Goldfields of W.A. - a highly prospective nickel exploration project – where historical drilling has identified ‘high nickel tenor’ within massive and disseminated sulphides
-
Excellent exploration potential along strike and at depth from known prospects
STRATEGIC INVESTMENT TO ADVANCE NICKEL EXPLORATION
- Corazon raised $710,000 from institutional investor, Delphi, to predominantly advance exploration of the Company’s nickel sulphide assets.

LYNN LAKE NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT SULPHIDE PROJECT
Overview
Corazon owns 100% of the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake) (Figure 1) - a prolific historical nickel-copper-cobalt mining centre that was mined for 24 years before closure in 1976. Corazon is the first company to have control of the entire Lynn Lake nickel camp since mine closure. Highlights of the Lynn Lake Project include:
-
100% ownership of nickel sulphide district
-
Large JORC resources
-
Exciting and proven exploration upside
-
Beneficial infrastructure that would reduce start-up capital requirements
-
Township originally built for the historical mining operation
-
Hydro-Power – an important component for any future, sustainable, environmentally compliant mining operation
-
Nearby to emerging North American and European rechargeable battery industries
Corazon’s two-pronged strategy at Lynn Lake is focused on development and exploration.
Mining Centre studies are seeking cost and performance efficiencies in mining and processing practices, progressing the possible development of a significant, low-cost mining operation. Exploration in the mine area is looking to expand the near-surface JORC resource base in search of start-up feed to complement existing resources at depth.
Exploration within the greater project area has focused on the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), where a large magmatic sulphide system, bigger than the Lynn Lake mine area footprint, has been discovered.
Together, 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.

Major New Target for Nickel Sulphide Unlocked at Lynn Lake
During the Quarter, Corazon announced the commencement of a new phase of drilling at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake) in Manitoba Province, Canada (ASX announcement 13 October 2021).
Upon the completion of this phase of drilling, Corazon announced it has identified a major, immediate-priority target (ASX announcement 10 December 2021) within the FLC (Figure 2), which is located south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
This exploration program consisted of four (4) holes for a total of 2,143 metres. Drilling tested the western and eastern extents of a mineralised intrusive conduit (channel), identified as the Matrix Trend geophysical anomaly, within the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) (Figure 3).

Low levels of magmatic sulphide mineralisation were intersected in this phase of drilling; samples have been submitted for analysis, the results of which are expected in February 2022.
Corazon’s exploration focus at the FLC has been the Matrix Trend, an IP chargeability high (anomaly) defined by geophysical surveys between 2016 and 2018 (Figure 3). The Matrix Trend is interpreted to be an exposed (by erosion) part of a sulphide-rich magma conduit that has “punched” into the older and more fractionated Fraser Lake “gabbroic” complex.

The intrusive conduit can be traced laterally over 3.5 kilometres from the “South Pipe” intrusion to the southwest of the FLC. New modelling of geophysical datasets indicates the conduit system plunges into the FLC and into an area of higher density, which is indicative of ultramafic lithologies (Figure 4). Ultramafics (peridotites) have yet to be identified in outcrop or drilling within the FLC, however, within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre, peridotites have a very strong spatial and timing association with the massive nickel sulphide orebodies.
The existence of peridotites within the FLC would be extremely encouraging, enhancing the possibility for the discovery of a Lynn Lake-style mineralised system.

Hot colours depict dense lithologies, similar in character to peridotites that are spatially associated with massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre. Gravity dataset 200m station spacing (1968. Datum NAD83 Zone 14.
The current model for the Matrix Trend is that it is essentially the “vapor trail” of a sulphide-rich magma that has intruded further into the FLC. Sulphide-rich and ultramafic melts are very hot, less viscous, potentially more penetrative, and will travel further than gabbroic melts. The possible existence of ultramafic within the FLC, intruding close to the surface, provides an excellent target, and a focus for exploration in early 2022.
2022 Exploration Program Commences
Post Quarter-end, Corazon announced it has commenced its 2022 exploration program at Lynn Lake, where the FLC is of immediate priority (ASX announcement 17 January 2022). The Company has commenced a detailed airborne gravity survey designed to refine gravity high targets (dense bodies) for testing in the next phase of exploration drilling.
Geophysical modelling of existing 200-metre spaced gravity data indicates this conduit feeds into a large dense body, approximating to the centre of the FLC’s “eye” (Figures 2 to 4).
Initial results from the gravity survey are expected in February, subsequent to which plans for drilling will be finalised. Drilling is currently proposed to commence within the March quarter.

Resource Upgrade Confirmed
During the Quarter, Corazon announced an upgrade of the JORC resource estimate for the Lynn Lake Project (ASX announcement 25 October 2021).
Lynn Lake’s new Resource Estimate (Table 1) has resulted in 20% of the previous resource (ASX announcement 27 November 2019) being upgraded to the highest-quality Measured resource category (in accordance with JORC Code 2012 edition). The total metal content of the resource is: 116,800t Nickel, 54,300t Copper and 5,300t Cobalt, remaining the same as the 2019 resource estimate.
This significant resource upgrade provides further confidence in the potential to develop a long-life, bulk, low cost mining operation at Lynn Lake.
The resource upgrade has been confirmed from just three of the six deposits that make up the Lynn Lake resource estimate. These three deposits, the EL, N and O deposits, were drilled out and partially mined prior to the mine’s closure in 1976. More than 20 deposits are defined within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
Corazon engaged independent resource consultant HGMC to provide this updated Mineral Resource estimation. This estimation is summarised in Table 1 (further details in ASX announcement 25 October 2021). The Mineral Resource estimate was completed in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2012 edition). The estimation is of a high quality and is well supported by drilling and historical mining data.

New Mining and Metallurgical Studies Underway
New mining studies for Lynn Lake have been designed to assess optionality and determine the most appropriate development pathway to deliver a robust, long-lived, economically viable mining operation, utilising modern mining and processing techniques. The commencement of mining studies (ASX announcement 26 May 2021) represents a significant step forward in the Lynn Lake Project’s development pathway.
International mining consultants Palaris have been engaged to undertake the mining studies, which are focused on four separate disciplines: Geology, Geotechnical, Mining Strategy, and Processing. The study program seeks to assess and maximise the synergies and interactions across all four disciplines to ensure optimal whole-of-project outcomes. The final deliverable of the mining studies will be a revised mining strategy for the entire mineralised area, focused on optimal production rates and low mining costs.
New metallurgical testwork is about to commence on the Lynn Lake mineralisation. Approximately 500 kilograms of core sample, acquired from drilling in December 2021 at the EL Mine (Figure 2), is en route to Australia. This core will be used for –
-
Finalising flotation testwork
-
Investigating pre-flotation ore-upgrade of low-grade material
-
Initial work on the amenability of Lynn Lake mineralisation in the production of battery grade products for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
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 (N.S.W.) (Figure 5). 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 mid-2016, 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” has uncovered a major copper–cobalt–silver-gold geochemical trend, potentially representing a +20 kilometre-long district-scale exploration play for large intrusive related copper-cobalt-gold deposits.
Targeting a Large Mineralised System
Corazon’s maiden drilling program targeted the priority eight (8) kilometres-long Gordonbrook Hill – May Queen copper-cobalt- silver-gold anomaly (located within the greater 20 kilometre-long Mt Gilmore Trend) (ASX announcement 17 June 2021). Two core holes were drilled for a total of 841.4 metres, testing the area near the Gordonbrook Hill mineralised porphyry, identified by Corazon in 2020 (ASX announcement 9 October 2020.
This porphyry intrusion is mapped at surface over approximately 300 meters and is semi- parallel with the strike of a well-defined geophysical anomaly (an Induced Polarisation chargeability-high corridor). These coincident geochemical and geophysical features represent a significant

mineralised porphyry target, kilometres in scale, making Gordonbrook Hill a priority target.
This drilling appeared to have intersected the fringe of a porphyry-related mineralised system. Overall hydrothermal alteration is moderate and locally strong. Pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are the primary sulphides found to be widespread in both drill holes. The geology alteration and sulphide mineralisation suggest the potential for porphyry-related skarn stye mineralisation.
The next phase of exploration at Mt Gilmore would need to include more comprehensive and detailed geophysics to test the large target area, prior to additional drilling. The Company considers this work a lower priority to the activities currently being undertaken at the Lynn Lake Nickel Sulphide Project.

MIRIAM NICKEL-SULPHIDE PROJECT, W.A.
OVERVIEW
The Miriam Nickel Sulphide Project (Miriam) is located approximately 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie on a trend of ultramafics best identified by the Miriam and Nepean (Auroch Minerals, ASX: AOU) nickel deposits (Figure 6). Miriam is a highly prospective nickel exploration project, representing a strategic addition to Corazon’s portfolio of nickel sulphide assets.
The Miriam Project covers an area of about six (6) kilometres by 1.5 kilometers and comprises five (5) Prospecting Licence applications (P15/6135 to P15/6139 inclusive). The Miriam Deposit was discovered in 1969, with ‘high nickel tenor’ massive and disseminated sulphides intersected in drilling. Miriam has not been extensively explored and there is extensive untested opportunity for nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth and along strike from previous drilling.
The existence of the defined target trend will allow Corazon to undertake focused and detailed exploration programs, utilising modern higher-powered electromagnetic (EM) geophysics.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “expect(s)”, “feel(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding future production, resources or reserves and exploration results. All such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) those relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits and conclusions of economic evaluations, (ii) risks relating to possible variations in reserves, grade, planned mining dilution and ore loss, or recovery rates and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, (iii) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies, (iv) risks related to commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, (v) risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, and (vi) other risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s prospects, properties and business strategy. Our audience is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to revise and disseminate forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of or non-occurrence of any events.
The Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making the forward-looking Statements in the announcement based on the information contained in this and previous ASX announcements.
The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this ASX release, and the Company confirms that, to the best of its knowledge, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the exploration results in this release continue to apply and have not materially changed.
