Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 March 2024 (Quarter).

Miriam Lithium & Nickel Sulphide Project – W.A.

Overview

The 100% owned Miriam Nickel Sulphide and Lithium Project (Miriam Project) is located within the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, approximately 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie on a trend of ultramafics best identified by the Miriam and Nepean nickel deposits (Figure 1).

The Miriam Nickel Sulphide Deposit (within the Miriam Project,) was discovered in 1969, with ‘high nickel tenor’ massive and disseminated sulphides intersected in drilling (Figure 2). Miriam has not been extensively explored and there is extensive untested opportunity for nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth and along strike from previous drilling. Exploration by Corazon has identified several targets prospective for nickel sulphide deposits (ASX announcement 22 March 2023).

Corazon’s exploration has also exposed Miriam’s potential to host multiple lithium-rich pegmatites (ASX announcement 8 December 2022).

Lynn Lake Nickel Sulphide ProjectCanada

Overview

Corazon owns 100% of the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake) in Manitoba, Canada (Figure 4) - 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 and environmentally compliant mining operation; and

  • 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.

Studies for the Potential Re-establishment of Mining at Lynn Lake Project Nearing Completion

Corazon’s detailed knowledge and understanding of Lynn Lake’s mineralisation is being used to investigate modern best-practice mining and processing options for the exploitation of the large JORC resources defined within the historical mining centre. This work includes an integrated strategy for optimising the mining and processing methods designed to take advantage of the large amount of low-to-medium grade mineralisation at Lynn Lake.

Current mining studies seek to establish the benefit of bulk mining and materials handling efficiencies to push the mining cut-off grades lower and exploit the substantial mineralisation defined at lower grade. It is the Company’s belief that a mining operation at Lynn Lake has the potential for operating costs that would be competitive in the current nickel market.

The metallurgical testwork program has been focused on utilising innovative processing technologies to upgrade the mineralisation pre-flotation, thus improving materials handling and processing efficiencies (ASX announcements 13 July 2022, 3 April 2023, 23 August 2023).

The excellent results returned to date, utilising a number of processing technologies, has led to an extension of the metallurgical testwork program. This work has been reported in detail in previous company announcements and quarterly reports. The current phase of testwork expected to be completed Q1 2024, is now anticipated to be completed in Q3 2024. Following this, work shall begin on more detailed mine design and scheduling.

Drilling Completed at Lynn Lake Project

Targeting highest priority nickel sulphide targets defined by innovative geophysical methods designed to directly identify sulphide mineralisation

Post Quarter-end, Corazon completed a two-hole diamond core drilling program targeting a high priority conductive anomaly, within the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre (Figure 5) (ASX announcement 26 April 2024)

The FLC hosts a large magmatic sulphide system, approximately six kilometres by three kilometres, which has been subject to wide-spaced drilling over a targeted portion of the system (approximately 1.5 by 1.5 kilometres) by Corazon to date.

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 include a 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 6) (ASX announcement 13 June 2023).

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 completed in 2023. Results from drilling MTC3 (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 metres. Hole FLC2024-061 targeted the MT conducive anomaly MTC-1, while FLC2024-060 investigated an IP chargeability high anomaly adjacent to MTC-1.

MTC-1 aligns with the Matrix Trend (Figure 6), an IP chargeability high anomaly where past drilling has defined low-grade 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 pipe-like feature (ultramafic). Low tenor magmatic sulphides were intersected in this drilling.

IP geophysics has been effective in mapped sulphide mineralisation. Drilling of a large IP chargeability high (Figure 7) indicates the potential for a large body of near-surface, low-tenor, Lynn Lake style magmatic nickelcopper sulphide mineralisation, within the FLC.

Next Steps at the Fraser Lake Complex

Samples of sulphide mineralisation from the recent drilling have been submitted for laboratory analysis, and results are expected to be received in the current quarter. These results will be interpreted and the outcomes will be used to help refine Corazon’s exploration model at the FLC, and define targets for future exploration drilling.

Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold ProjectN.S.W.

Overview

The Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project (Mt Gilmore) is located 35 kilometres from the city of Grafton in northeastern New South Wales (N.S.W.) (Figure 8). Corazon owns an 80% interest in Mt Gilmore and is managing and sole funding exploration until any future decision to mine is made.

Corazon’s exploration of the prospective “Mt Gilmore trend” has uncovered a major copper–cobalt–silver-gold geochemical trend, potentially representing a district-scale exploration play for large intrusive related coppercobalt-gold deposits.

The surface anomalism for metals at Mt Gilmore covers a large area (Figure 9). The recognition of the surface expression of a large hydrothermal system of more than 20 kilometres in strike (ASX announcement 5 February 2019), possibly associated with mineralised intrusive rocks (ASX announcement 9 October 2020), presents an exciting exploration undertaking for Corazon.

==> picture [256 x 273] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8 – Mt Gilmore Project location map

Corazon recently announced it is the recipient of an Australian Government Innovation Connections Grant to help advance exploration and assessment of the Mt Gilmore Project (ASX Announcement 13 December 2022). The geochemical testwork program being undertaken with the University of Tasmania’s Centre of Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences has confirmed that Mt Gilmore hosts key geochemical characteristics specific to large porphyry copper-gold deposits (ASX announcement 12 July 2022).

The second phase of the program has recently been completed and was designed to expand on the first phase studies, and deliver more precise targeting from which exploration drilling can be planned (ASX announcement 4 October 2022).

Priority Large Copper-Gold Target Identified

Geochemical targeting program defines high-priority May Queen porphyry copper-gold drilling target

Post-Quarter end, Corazon announced it has defined a new, large-scale, high-priority porphyry copper-gold target at its Mt Gilmore Project (Mt Gilmore or the Project) in New South Wales, Australia (ASX announcements 2 and 5 April 2024).

The new May Queen target for large-scale porphyry copper-gold deposits has been defined by combining Corazon’s exploration datasets with a recently completed mineral chemistry vectoring studies undertaken by the University of Tasmania’s (UTAS), Centre of Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences (CODES). This was a co-funded research study titled “Enhanced geochemical targeting at the Mt Gilmore Cu-Au-Co trend”, established between Corazon and the Australian Government Innovation Connections Grant facility (ASX announcement 13 December 2022).

The May Queen area defined by CODES hosts a priority target defined by strong copper in soils geochemical anomalism, a coincident IP chargeability high geophysical anomaly, within a geophysical magnetic-low, bounded by a magnetic-high rim. These relationships are considered common for porphyry copper-gold systems.

This represents a highly positive outcome for CODES/UTAS’s work at Mt Gilmore and has validated Corazon’s porphyry copper-gold exploration model at Mt Gilmore.

Defined by Corazon, the Mt Gilmore Trend is a copper-cobalt-gold trend in excess of 20 kilometres in length, believed prospective for intrusion-related copper-gold deposits (Figure 9) (ASX announcements 5 February 2019 and 9 October 2020). The priority May Queen target lies adjacent to the historically identified May Queen copper-magnetite skarn deposit (Figure 10). The target is a significant feature of approximately two kilometres in strike, located in the northern extent of the Mt Gilmore Trend.

May Queen Porphyry Copper-Gold Target

The May Queen prospect is located at the northern end of the defined Mt Gilmore Trend, and remains underexplored. It is situated approximately 6.5 kilometres northwest of the Gordonbrook Hill Prospect, which was the focus for Corazon’s most recent drilling, and 15 kilometres northwest of the drill-defined Cobalt Ridge Prospect to the south (Figure 9).

Historical prospecting identified the May Queen Skarn (Figure 10), which includes three shafts and an adit in a 300 metre x 150 metre ‘topographic window’ exposed in a valley. Rock chip and grab sampling results have returned high-grade copper and gold, associated with malachite-chalcopyrite-bornite assemblages (ASX announcements 5 February 2019).

The May Queen porphyry copper-gold target is centred on a strong copper anomaly with a coincident moderate to strong IP chargeability geophysical anomaly (ASX announcement 23 July 2019), covering an area of approximately 400 metres in diameter. High IP chargeability anomalism is typically indicative of disseminated sulphides, consistent with the fine-grained disseminated pyrite (iron), chalcopyrite (copper) and malachite (copper) minerals observed in mapping. This target occurs approximately 500 metres to the east of the mineralised May Queen Skarn outcrop and is identified in Figure 10.

The strong copper in soils geochemical anomalism and IP chargeability high geophysical anomalism is also coincident with a geophysical magnetic-low, bounded by a magnetic-high rim (NSW Government datasets) This relationship is common in these systems.

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 forwardlooking 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.
