FRASER LAKE COMPLEX TECHNICAL PRESENTATION
BACKGROUND TO CORAZON’S EXPLORATION APPROACH TO
UNLOCKING NEW NICKEL SULPHIDE DISCOVERIES
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to provide this Technical Presentation on the new and compelling nickel sulphide targets at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), located within the Company’s 100%-owned Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Manitoba province, Canada.
Corazon is pursuing a two-pronged strategy for the exploration and development of the Lynn Lake Project, as outlined following;
-
i. Expand the near-surface JORC 2012 Resource base via drilling exploration at the Lynn Lake Mining Centre to complement existing Resources at depth, and confirm a large global resource to support the potential future development of a significant, low-cost mining operation. Highly positive metallurgical studies are being conducted in parallel.
-
ii. Explore for new, world-class nickel sulphide deposits within the Lynn Lake project area, including at the FLC , located just five kilometres south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
The Company’s current focus is on drilling new high-priority geophysical targets within the FLC. Drilling underway is currently paused due to poor surface conditions from the spring melt, although it is planned to recommence drilling in the near future.
This Technical Presentation provides detailed background information on Corazon’s targeting and exploration approach to uncovering new Lynn Lake-style nickel sulphide discoveries at the FLC.
-
The FLC is a mafic intrusive rich in magmatic sulfides, prospective for the discovery of major nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposits.
-
Corazon is applying new geophysical processing methods that have delivered significant new geophysical anomalies at the FLC, on-trend from drill defined mineralisation.
-
The Company has previously successfully used the same approach to define known mineralisation to depths of at least 600 metres at the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
-
This approach has generated a significant flat-lying target covering an area of at least 350 metres x 200 metres, on the basal contact of the FLC intrusive.
-
The first hole into this target (hole FLC2020-22) has intersected the top of the geophysical target anomaly - at ~400 metres below surface.
-
Sulphide content has increased (to between 1% and 8%) with depth as the hole moves closer to the geophysical target - in line with Corazon’s geological model (ASX announcement 1 May 2020).
-
The peak of the magnetic anomaly sits at about 450 metres below surface and the base of the target is interpreted to be ~500 metres below surface.

CURRENT STATUS OF DRILLING
(ASX announcement 1 May 2020)
Drilling of this new target is underway
Hole FLC2020-22 drilled to 523.4m (~400m below
surface) – drilling paused due to poor surface
conditions caused by spring meltwater
Sulphide content starting to increase with depth
Base of Target is at ~ 500m below surface
Drilling to recommence once meltwaters recede and

Lynn Lake Project Overview
RIGHT COMMODITIES – PERFECT TIMING
-
Lynn Lake – One of the best brown-fields nickel sulphide exploration plays in North America
-
Underpinned by JORC 2012 Resource of 116,800t nickel, 54,300t copper and 5,300t cobalt
-
Market support and sentiment for nickel sulphide projects continues to grow
-
Nickel market in deficit since 2015 & forecast critically tight from 2021 – major opportunity for new producers
CURRENT WORK
-
Exploration – Drilling to commence in the near term, targets to include;
-
Fraser Lake – refined targeting methods have identified new priority targets; drilling of current target to be completed ASAP
-
Lynn Lake Mining Centre – further drilling to test for near-surface resource potential
-
Studies seek improvements on a number of fronts for the benefit of any future mining operation
-
Metallurgical and Processing – to include pre-flotation and down-stream work
-
Mining studies and optimising mining methods to minimise costs
