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.

END-USERS SEEKING AN ETHICAL STABLE SUPPLY
Cobalt predominantly a by-product
- 60% from copper mining
Dominant Supply Sources
-
38% from nickel mining
-
Laterite – Australia, Cuba and Asia Pacific Sulphide – smaller scale
-
2% from primary cobalt mining
DRC copper mines account for between 47%* to 65% of global supply
China - largest producer of refined cobalt 94% of cobalt imported to China is sourced from DRC*
Supply Pressures
22% of this is from DRC Artisanal Mining*
Weak nickel and copper prices = less production = less cobalt
- Government policy affecting nickel laterite production – Indonesia & Philippines The stability of governments in major supply regions is an ongoing concern
Integrity of supply source – Human Rights issues for DRC cobalt supply highlighted by Amnesty International in 2016
Artisanal Mining – “low hanging fruit” – not a long-term supply solution

Field-work at Mt Gilmore in 2017 will commence with the definition of additional cobalt drill targets at Cobalt Ridge
Drilling proposed for Q2 2017
Reconnaissance exploration, mapping and surface geochemistry will target other historically defined copper prospects for cobalt
First-pass metallurgical test work on RC drill samples is underway. This work will provide information regarding the nature of the cobalt-copper-gold mineralisation and in particular the suitability of the cobalt for use in the rechargeable battery industry

Notes -
Resource released by Corazon Mining Limited in an ASX announcement date 16[th] April, 2015 .
Cobalt mineralisation not reported within resource due to incomplete historical analysis for the metal.
Nickel equivalent grades (NIEQ%) 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. Past mining of these deposits on average produced a nickel concentrate, consisting of 14% nickel, 1.5% copper and 0.35% cobalt and a copper concentrate having 30% copper and 0.60% nickel. In this circuit, 85% of the nickel, 93% of the copper and 80% of the cobalt were recovered on average.
NIEQ% = (((Cu%222.04622)+(Ni%7.2222.04622))/7.22)/22.04622 based on metal prices of Ni = US$7.22 /lb Cu = US$2.00 /lb.

More than 70 years of exploration and 23 years of mining data needed to be located and digitally captured
Data collation has been a major undertaking by Corazon
Information predominantly in pre-computer era paper format
Data held by multiple parties and needed to be located - project land tenure was divided post mine closure
Drill hole database grown from 2,800 holes to ~9,000 holes
Mostly mine and resource focussed drilling
- Previous operators with a “Mine focus” – non-typical (in size or nature) mineralisation not targeted or followed up
New zones of mineralisation have been identified
CZN has collated an extensive geophysical dataset – from 1950’s to current generation
Geophysics is the key to discovery at Lynn Lake
Deep rooted systems
Extensive thin cover, including swap, till and alluvial

Geophysical anomalies appears bigger & better than Lynn Lake
Predominantly under shallow cover of muskeg (swamp) & overburden (till deposits)
Fertile in nickel and copper – geochemically and geophysically similar to Lynn Lake – same host rocks
Twice as large as Lynn Lake
Strong amplitude IP anomalies - suggesting highly mineralised environment – massive and disseminated signatures
Best anomalies are generally sub-vertical, extending from near surface (outcrop) to great depths

Surface sampling has established the presence of nickel within the FLC, including nickel sulphides in rock chips and historical drilling
-
The Motriuk Ultramafic may be sourced from the same deep-rooted gravity feature that is thought to feed the FLC. Motriuk is depleted in nickel – meaning the nickel has been removed from the melt and deposited elsewhere

Anomaly is under shallow cover and is coincident with a magnetic high of 140m by 120m in area. The high conductance of this anomaly sets it apart from any other anomaly in the Lynn Lake region.
Targets #2 and #3 - within main IP strong chargeability anomaly (between 20 and 45 m/s) that aligns with FLC ‘Neck’. Coincident with high magnetic anomalies.
Target #4 - coincident IP chargeability and magnetic anomaly close to an historical rock chip result of 0.39% nickel and is within what is interpreted to be the feeder to the Eastern Magnetic Domain Ultramafic (EMD).

Two Quality Exploration Projects – Strong Development Potential
Mt Gilmore
- Cobalt Ridge is a unique high-grade deposit of a strategically important metal Attracting market interest - favoured metal in an emerging industry Larger story of big intrusive copper-gold system defines “blue-sky”
Lynn Lake
- FLC - compelling exploration targets - about to be drilled Existing infrastructure beneficial for exploration and development Existing resources – provide the foundations for a long-life mining operation
Corazon - A Proven Explorer
Currently has cash, operates frugally, low overheads, capital into exploration Active and aggressive exploration philosophy continues to be supported by the market Incredible liquidity for a ‘Junior Explorer’
Indicative Upcoming News Flow
Cobalt Ridge – Core assays returned
-
FLC – Commencement of drilling and #1 Target result
-
FLC – On-going drilling results (drilling anticipated to take one month) Cobalt Ridge – Results of initial metallurgical test work Cobalt Ridge – ongoing work (surface sampling, geophysics) Mt Gilmore – reconnaissance exploration project wide
In preparation for Phase II drill program
