Forward Looking Statements
-
This presentation has been prepared by Corazon Mining Limited (“Corazon”). It contains forecasts and forward looking statements which are no guarantee of future performance and which involve certain risks. Actual results and future outcomes will in all likelihood differ from those outlined herein. The presentation should not be construed as an offer or invitation to subscribe for or purchase securities in Corazon, nor is it an inducement to make an offer or an invitation with respect to said securities.
-
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.
Competent Persons Statement
- The information in this report that relates to mineral exploration results, resources or reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Brett Smith, B.Sc Hons (Geol), Member AusIMM, Member AIG and an employee of Corazon Mining Limited. Mr Smith has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Smith consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

Anomaly Just Got Better!
-
2,139 gravity readings
-
400mx100m & 800mx200m grid
-
Results :
-
2013 Gravity Stations + 2006 Gravity Stations
-
Anomaly extended to 10 km by 6 km (at plus 4 mGals residual)
-
18 mGal variation within dataset acquired
-
8 mGal peak residual gravity anomaly
-
Gravity anomaly is fault bounded and can conform to or cross-cut geological boundaries
-
Some anomalous zones appear shallow
