NiCd – Nickel-Cadmium NiMH – Nickel-Metal Hydride Lithium Ion Batteries – Accounts for growth in Cobalt usage

Safer Cheaper to manufacture Best commercially accepted energy storage capacity Better energy density ratings

LCO – Lithium Cobalt Oxide – 60% Co

NMC – Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide – 10-20% Co NCA – Lithium Nickel Cobalt – 9% Co

COBALT DEMAND

75% of Market Share of Li-Ion Batteries in 2015 **

Possible growth in demand due to Electric Vehicles (EV’s) and Smart Grid Storage

Driven by rechargeable battery market

EV’s & Cobalt

2015 refined cobalt

Measurable growth in EV production

Output 92,877t* Consumption 90,150t **

  • 49% from rechargeable batteries

2016 refined cobalt output +100,000t

Forecast 68% increase in cobalt consumption between 2015 and 2025 **

Government policy incentive stimulus

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

New model for formation of FLC

  • A deep-rooted gravity anomaly to the south of FLC may be the source of mafic/ultramafic units

  • The southern narrowing of the FLC (neck) marks a possible feeder zone, from the gravity anomaly

  • Feeders to mafic/ultramafic bodies provide an ideal location for the formation of magmatic sulphide bodies

FLC is a nickel rich intrusive

  • 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

Drill Targets

#1 Target - EM conductor (VTEM anomaly) situated outside the area tested by the IP survey, but within the interpreted neck of the intrusion. It exhibits an extremely high conductance (CT=4,086 S), and interpreted to be 60m wide by 15m thick and 482m down-plunge towards the south-west. 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
