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. Nor is it an inducement to make an offer or an invitation with respect to said securities.

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.

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.

NEW TARGETS – NEW MODEL

  • Discovery of a new “district scale” geochemical anomaly

  • Compelling indicators for “Intrusive Related” and “Replacement” style Copper-Gold Deposit models

  • Existing analogies in the New England Orogen for the style of mineralisation identified

  • Early stage play – very little previous exploration

  • Cobalt Ridge Prospect (the main focus of exploration to date) is distal to the main geochemical anomaly within the Mt Gilmore Trend

FAVOURABLE GEOLOGICAL SETTING

  • Basement = hydrothermally altered basaltic and volcano-sedimentary rocks

  • Hydrothermal event possibly associated with a mafic intrusive suite (gabbro – diorite – quartz diorite – tonalite – granodiorite with porphyry apophyses)

  • Geochemical anomalies associated with disseminated sulphides – chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyrite

  • Chalcophile elements and changes in geochemical signatures across target areas are indicative of ‘Intrusive Related’ and ‘Replacement’ style copper-gold hydrothermal systems

  • Locally, there are several possible sources for the unique cobalt-rich style of mineralisation

INITIAL FOCUS

A LARGE AREA – MULTIPLE TARGETS

  • May Queen to Gordonbrook Hill area to become a major focus for exploration

  • Geophysics critical to defining targets for follow-up drilling

  • Source(s) of anomalism expected to be concealed

  • Aeromagnetics – defining structures and replacement (skarn/magnetite) style environments

  • Induced Polarisation (IP) – looking for large disseminated sulphide bodies

May Queen to Gordonbrook Hill Target Area Cobalt Ridge Prospect

COBALT RIDGE DISTAL TO MAIN GEOCHEMICAL ANOMALIES

  • Cobalt Ridge Deposit is ~8 km south of the main Gordonbrook Hill geochemical anomaly

  • Geochemical signature of Cobalt Ridge supports a distal environment within a hydrothermal system

  • Question arises – is Cobalt Ridge a satellite deposit and part of the main Mt Gilmore Trend hydrothermal feature to the north – or a stand-alone hydrothermal centre?

  • Recent drilling has resulted in a good understanding of structural controls on the mineralisation at Cobalt Ridge

  • Geochemical trends identified on a prospect scale at Cobalt Ridge reflect those observed within the greater Mt Gilmore Project

  • The Cobalt Ridge Deposit is not fully drill tested and remains open in all directions

Mt Gilmore Project – Summary
----- End of picture text -----

UNIQUE, EARLY STAGE, DISTRICT-SCALE EXPLORATION PLAY

  • Surface mineralisation supports evidence of a large hydrothermal system at Mt Gilmore

  • Indicative of “Intrusive Related” or “Replacement” style of deposits

  • The size of the geochemical anomalies are substantive

  • The targeted source of the surface anomalism (sulphide mineralisation) is expected to be concealed – depth not yet defined

  • The composition of the sulphide assemblages and intensity of alteration and brecciation within exposed (“leakage”) structures is encouraging

  • Geological setting of Mt Gilmore is critical to the unique high cobalt content of the mineralisation
