This presentation has been prepared by Corazon Mining Limited (“Corazon”). It contains forecasts and forward looking statements which are not a 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.

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.

Notes -
-
This resource estimate is a foreign resource estimate and is not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. Insufficient work by the competent person has been undertaken on the foreign resource estimate to classify in accordance with the JORC Code and it is uncertain that, following evaluation and/or further exploration work, the foreign resource estimate will be able to be reported as a mineral resource in accordance with the JORC Code.
-
Nickel equivalent grades are provided as an indicator of value in a multi-metallic deposit. Lynn Lake has a long history as a nickel, copper and cobalt mining camp. It is the Company’s opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered.
Ni Eq = (((Cu%222.04622)+(Ni%7.2222.04622))/7.22)/20 where Ni = 7.22$ US/lb Cu = 2.00 $US/lb.
- The original NI 43-101 resource used Canadian imperial measurements. For the purposes of this announcement, 1 Ton (US Short) = 0.90718474 Tonnes (metric).

Summary of Lynn Lake Opportunity
==> picture [126 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
Lynn Lake - a mining proposition
-
Large project
-
Excellent existing infrastructure
-
Low-grade system – development nickel price dependent
-
2007 pre-feasibility identified low cost operation with a cost of US$7.06/lb nickel and US$4.90/lb nickel net copper+cobalt credits (at metal prices US$9.01/lb Ni, US$2.13/lb Cu, US$18.59/lb Co)
-
Potential to high-grade early production
-
-
Early studies indicate benefits in economics and scale for a combined Corazon and Victory Nickel mining project
-
Lynn Lake – a brown-field exploration play
-
New discoveries not included in resources – potential yet to be defined
Numerous untested regional targets
