FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
==> picture [697 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
This presentation has been prepared by Corazon Mining Limited (“Corazon” or “Company”). 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 presentation, 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.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Corazon is an ASX-listed mineral exploration company focused on the exploration and development of strategically critical battery metals (nickel, copper and cobalt).
100% ownership of the historical nickel-copper-cobalt Lynn Lake mining centre in the province of Manitoba, Canada
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
Large JORC compliant resources[(1)] of 116,800t Ni, 54,300t Cu and 5,800t Co At a market capitalization of ~$15M – Lynn Lake’s enterprise value is anomalously low New mining and processing studies underway for the Lynn Lake Mining Centre Aggressive exploration strategy at Lynn Lake looking to discover new nickel sulphide deposits Quality Australian assets provide an additional exploration focus for Corazon’s target commodities On the back of the emerging rechargeable battery sector, Corazon is leveraged to both exploration success and an improved environment for the redevelopment of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
