Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce initial assay results from its Phase 1 drilling program at the Fraser Lake Complex (“FLC”) within the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Canada, and advise that the second phase of drilling has commenced.
Assay results received to date confirm that Corazon has intersected Lynn Lake Mine tenor grade nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation. This supports the Company’s view that the large mineralised magmatic sulphide system, identified by drilling to date at the FLC, has the capacity to host nickel-copper-cobalt deposits similar to that which supported mining for decades at the nearby Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
Corazon is focusing its exploration effort on a large induced polarization (IP) chargeable geophysical anomaly (the Matrix Trend) with a defined strike of 600m and potential strike of more than 1.5km. To date, three holes have tested this anomaly, with all intersecting substantial widths of nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation. Despite these spectacular results, it’s the Company’s assessment that all three holes have not intersected the targeted anomalies and as such there is a continuous refinement of targeting models.

Lynn Lake “Run of Mine Grade” Mineralisation Intersected
The first phase of drilling intersected small zones of massive sulphide in a predominantly semimassive setting, proving the magmatic sulphide system within the Matrix Trend has the capacity to develop and host Lynn Lake-style deposits (ASX announcement 6 February, 2017).
Initial assay results from Phase 1 drilling consist of four samples from intervals including small zones of massive sulphide (within a sampled interval classified as semi-massive) and the distinctive ‘Leopard Rock’ mineralisation (Table 1 and Figure3). This mineralisation is considered the best intersection in the Phase 1 program,
Results indicate that within the FLC a sulphide content of between 35% and 50% can be expected to return grades of about 1% nickel, 0.6% copper and 0.07% cobalt (Table 1). These early results prove that the pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite sulphide mineralisation at the FLC is typical of the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
The Company believes the potential exists to identify zones of higher grade mineralisation in the FLC, particularly massive sulphide mineralisation (50% to 100% sulphide content) which will deliver very strong nickel, copper and cobalt results. “Point values” taken with a hand-held XRF, from the small massive zones and strong sulphide aggregates, returned grades on average between 3% and 4% nickel (refer to Table 2 for details of this testwork).
Cobalt grades returned in the Phase 1 drilling were almost double the grade for corresponding nickel grade rocks within the historical Lynn Lake Mining Centre. The Company interprets this mineralisation to be a small finger off a larger sulphide body. The higher cobalt content supports that the mineralisation is late stage and possibly higher up in the magmatic system.

Nickel equivalents (NiEq %) are used as an indicator of value, with there being reasonable expectations for the recovery of all metals reported.

The style and tenor of the nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation in the Matrix Trend is significant in that it identifies the feeder zone of the FLC as a well mineralised magmatic system with the potential to develop high-grade sulphide deposits. Even more significant, the Company considers that neither hole FLC-2017-002 nor 003 intersected the targeted geophysical anomalies.

Figure 1 – Geophysical Features and Targets . Aeromagnetic Total Field image overlain by Gradient Array IP Chargeability image, with the main IP anomaly (Matrix HC IP), IP Survey outline, historical drill hole and current drill hole locations (FLC-2017-*). A gravity high anomaly to the south of the FLC intrusion is believed to be the source of mantle material that feed the intrusion. The main IP anomaly trends off the IP surveyed area and is in alignment with the interpreted neck/feeder zone of the intrusion.
The FLC is pregnant with mature stage magmatic sulphides appearing in forms that suggest significant clustering and settling of sulphides within the melt.
The hangingwall (overlying) mafic sequence to the results in Table 1 (from surface to 387.5m), consisted predominantly of gabbroic rocks with pervasive magmatic sulphide mineralization over its entire length.
Numerous intervals containing approximately one percent sulphide consisting of interstitial sulphides and small droplets of sulphide were noted. Between these intervals, it is common to observe large (several millimeters to centimetre sized) magmatic pyrrhotite-pentlanditechalcopyrite droplets of variable frequency. In other places laminae of sulphides were conformable to the primary igneous fabric of the rock.

Localized irregular sulphide patches up to 70 cm in width were common, as well as a semimassive sulphides (~ 20%) from depths of 133.68m to 134.16m.
The footwall (underlying) magmatic stratigraphy from 393.45m to the end of the hole contained less amounts of sulphide material than the hangingwall. From 393.45m to 429 m several intervals with 3-5% interstitial and blebby sulphides as well as localized centimeter size sulphide droplets were apparent. From 429 to 478m the sulphide content decreased and contained only two intervals greater than two meters thick that contained 1-2 % sulphides.
Phase 2 Drilling Underway
Corazon advises that the next phase of drilling at the FLC has commenced, and the first hole in this program (FLC-2017-008) has been completed. It is one of several priority holes proposed within the Matrix Trend (Figure 1). FLC-2017-008 targeted a strong electromagnetic conductor generated from the Company’s recent down-hole electromagnetic survey (DHEM) of hole FLC2017-002, some 120m to the southwest (ASX announcement 13 February 2017).
Intrusive gabbroic units in hole FLC-2017-008 appear similar to the mineralised units within holes FLC-2017-002 and -003, also within the Matrix Trend. Nickel-copper magmatic sulphides appear as droplets and globules up to several centimetres in size. These sulphides represent zones of strongly disseminated to semi-massive concentrations in localized zones within the hole. They are mature stage magmatic sulphides appearing in forms that suggest significant clustering and settling of sulphides within the melt.
In conjunction with holes FLC-2017-002 and -003, initial interpretation of hole FLC-2017-008, has identified more than 400 metres strike of significant sulphide mineralisation within the Matrix Trend, a zone measuring +600m by 120m and open.
This hole has not intersected the targeted conductor at the interpreted position/targeted depth. the area appears structurally more complex than that previously observed within the FLC, however the Lynn Lake deposits can be quite disrupted and structurally controlled.
Sulphide rich sediments with up to 0.4% nickel (tested with hand-held XRF) were intersected 60m further down-hole from the targeted depth of the EM conductor. Further DHEM is currently underway to more accurately interrogate this area and assist in the targeting of follow-up exploration.
Drilling of hole FLC-2017-010 is about to commence. This hole is targeting a coincident magnetic, IP chargeable and nickel geochemical anomaly only 80m from hole FLC-2017-003 that intersected the semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralisation within the initial phase of drilling. FLC-2017-010 will also enable the DHEM testing of the mineralisation intersected in FLC-2017-003.
Exciting Targets Identified
Exploration of the FLC is at an early stage, and the project continues to appreciate in value and deliver impressive results. The discovery of the Matrix Trend is an exciting development and, importantly, represents just one of many priority targets within the intrusion. The first three holes into this zone have provided an enormous amount of information that is being fed back into the exploration targeting process.
==> picture [594 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [593 x 96] intentionally omitted <==
In addition to drilling, on site there are three geophysical crews completing ground IP, ground magnetics and DHEM. The generation of new targets and the assessment of existing targets is a continuous process.
Early findings from the ground magnetics defines the interpreted feeder zone to the FLC as a distinctive magnetic feature. The typical Lynn Lake mineralisation has a magnetic signature. Both holes FLC-2017-002 and -003 had strong near surface sulphide mineralisation (assays yet to be received) that are magnetically anomalous. This work remains in progress and, used in unison with the IP surveys, will be a powerful prospecting tool.
Ground IP is underway testing the southwest strike extents of the feeder zone and the Matrix Trend. An initial gradient array survey should be completed within the next two weeks, with the detailed pole-dipole surveys to follow. From the gradient array survey, Corazon will be able to identify priority areas for follow-up exploration.
DHEM is underway on hole FLC-2017-008 and will be completed on all subsequent drill holes. The Company is quickly establishing that the stronger EM responses (conductors) may not be the best targets for magmatic sulphide deposits, as both holes FLC-2017-001 and -008 intersected sulphidic sediments. DHEM work completed by Corazon in 2011-2012 on a high-grade sulphide breccia within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre identified a very subtle EM response.
The Company continues to “data-mine” historical information. The one historic drill hole into the FLC that returned anomalous nickel and copper results (3.2m @ 0.82% Ni and 0.55% Cu) was completed in 1954 approximately 600m to the north of the Matrix Trend. The description of this mineralisation is similar to the near surface mineralisation intersected in holes FLC-2017-002 and -003 within the FLC.
The area historically drilled includes abundant barren sulphidic sediments (roof pendants) that are believed to be important in the formation of magmatic sulphides within the FLC. It is possible this area is prospective for extensive near surface mineralisation of a similar grade to that historically mined at Lynn Lake.
