ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 25 JANUARY 2017

==> picture [193 x 79] intentionally omitted <==

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (“Corazon” or “the Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 December 2016. Corazon’s focus during this quarter included exploration on the recently acquired Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project in N.S.W, as well as the Fraser Lake Complex within the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project in Canada.

MT. GILMORE COBALT-COPPER-GOLD PROJECT

Corazon’s maiden reverse circulation (RC) and core drill program at Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project (Mt Gilmore) commenced during the quarter, targeting the high-grade Cobalt Ridge prospect. Final assay results were announced post quarter (ASX announcement 16[th] January 2017), with results further validating Mt Gilmore as a unique, high-grade, cobalt-dominant deposit.

Figure 1: Project location map. Mt Gilmore is located in northeastern New South Wales, with ease of access and close to beneficial infrastructure such as rail and port.

Two of the three core tails completed and six RC holes intersected the Main Cobalt Lode (Table 1), which was drilled over a strike of about 200 metres, to a depth of 140 metres below surface (Figures 2 and 3). The mineralisation is open to the west, where it is coincident with soil geochemical anomalism and smallscale historical workings targeting copper mineralisation.

The main cobalt lode mineralisation is typically about 16 metres in down-hole width (~8 metres true width), with intersections up to 37 metres down-hole. Average cobalt grades for these intervals within the drilling completed by Corazon are between 0.23% and 0.65% cobalt. Multiple higher-grade zones of up to 1.48% cobalt exist, at between one and seven metres down hole widths. Best individual one metre assay from this drilling is 2.79% cobalt.

Previous drilling depths at Cobalt Ridge averaged less than 100 metres and identified multiple parallel sub-vertical Co-Cu-Au sulphide lodes over a strike length of 300 metres, with overall widths of between 50 metres and 120 metres.

Full details pertaining to drilling and assaying are available in the Company ASX Announcements dated 14[th] December, 2016 and 16[th] January, 2017.

Background to Mr Gilmore drill program

Corazon’s maiden drill program at Mt Gilmore was designed to confirm the continuity, position and extent of the cobalt-copper-gold mineralisation within the Cobalt Ridge prospect area, identified by historical drilling. Corazon’s drilling has validated historical mining and exploration results and has confirmed the presence of multiple zones of sulphide mineralisation over a strike length of at least 300 metres. The mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.

During the December quarter, Corazon completed 18 RC holes at Cobalt Ridge, three of these holes were extended with core tails. In total 2,070 metres of RC and 261.10 metres of core was completed. Full details of this program are presented in ASX Announcement 16[th] January, 2017.

Cobalt Ridge – Potential Upside

Geological interpretation of the drill core and RC assay results has resulted in a better understanding of the mineralisation at Cobalt Ridge. As evidenced in the diamond core, the mineralised system displays intense pervasive alteration and sulphide filled tourmaline brecciation indicative of a larger cobalt-coppergold system. This alteration is observed on surface at Cobalt Ridge and other prospects within the greater Mt Gilmore region.

Three priority target areas for follow-up work have been defined at Cobalt Ridge (Figure 2). None of these targets have been tested with modern exploration and it is proposed that surface geochemistry and geophysics will provide a good first-pass test.

Cobalt Ridge West – The best result from drilling by Corazon at Cobalt Ridge is the western-most hole, MGRC002. This mineralisation plunges to the west-northwest, coincident with the intersection of structures and lithologies. Additional (undrilled) structures have been identified at surface, which have the potential to generate high-grade mineralisation. The target is supported by anomalous soil geochemistry and abundant sub-cropping quartz-tourmaline-limonite breccia (Cobalt Ridge host rock).

Flintoff’s – This target sits immediately to the north of Cobalt Ridge and is centred on late 1800’s copper workings. These workings exhibit the same trend and host material as at Cobalt Ridge, but are substantially larger. The edge of the Cobalt Ridge soil sampling survey just touches on this trend, returning strong anomalism.

Cobalt Ridge East – The target is situated at the intersection of the Cobalt Ridge and Flintoff’s trends, under the cover of thin sediments

LYNN LAKE NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT PROJECT

During the quarter, the Company announced its soil sampling results from Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), located 5km south of the historic Lynn Lake mining centre (Figure 6). These results followed the earlier receipt of highly encouraging results from the Company’s IP and Resistivity ground geophysical surveys (ASX Announcement 26[th] October, 2016).

The Lynn Lake Mine closed in 1976, following 24 years of operation as a large tonnage-low cost mine. Early in 2015, Corazon consolidated the nickel mining area for the first time since mine closure. This consolidation created a significant nickel-copper asset, with large remnant resources, extensive drill defined mineralisation and exciting exploration potential.

The FLC is one of the most dominant mafic/ultramafic intrusions in the Lynn Lake area and has all the right chemical and physical characteristics to host magmatic sulphides. The results of Corazon’s recent work support the belief that the FLC has strong potential to host significant new nickel-copper sulphide deposits similar to those previously mined within the Company’s Lynn Lake Mining Centre.

Corazon believes the anomalies defined are representative of nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation and that the FLC has the potential to host a mineralised system similar to Lynn Lake, historically one of Canada’s most prolific nickel producing areas.

FLC Soil Sampling Results

During the quarter, the Company announced results from a Soil Sampling Program within the FLC over Induced Polarisation (IP) anomalies defined by the Company (ASX announcement 26[th] October, 2016).

Results from soil sampling indicate anomalous values of nickel and copper correlating to defined geophysical trends and targets. There is a strong correlation between nickel and copper, supporting evidence for a magmatic sulphide source for these metals.

Current Activities – Fraser Lake Complex, Lynn Lake Mining Centre

The Company recently announced the commencement of its maiden drill program at the Fraser Lake intrusive complex (FLC) within the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project (ASX Announcement 9[th] January, 2017) and the intersection of magmatic nickel-copper sulphides (ASX Announcement 23[rd] January, 2017).

These initial results are positive and encouraging, with the intersection of sulphides in the first two holes of the program validating Corazon’s exploration and targeting model, and further confirming the FLC’s potential to host significant nickel-copper sulphide deposits.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 25 JANUARY 2017

==> picture [193 x 79] intentionally omitted <==

Drilling is underway and the program is expected to take one month to complete.

Corazon’s program of approximately 1,500 metres of core drilling is targeting the four (4) highest priority targets within the FLC, generated from Corazon’s IP geophysics and surface geochemistry programs conducted in 2016, in conjunction with the collation of historical exploration data stretching back to the 1940’s. This body of work has identified multiple compelling drill targets within the FLC, indicative of the style of mineralisation previously mined at Lynn Lake.

All work at the Project is being undertaken with the strong belief that the combined Lynn Lake Project will deliver improved economics for any future mining operation, with benefits in scale and possible mine life, resulting in an excellent development opportunity leveraged to improvements in the nickel metal price.

CORPORATE

Placement to Fund Exploration at Mt Gilmore Project

On 21[st] October 2016, the Company announced it had received commitments from institutional and sophisticated professional investors to raise approximately $2.1 million at an issue price of $0.013 per share (“Placement”).

The Placement includes the issue of up to approximately 161.54 million new shares, pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The strong demand for the Placement, which was heavily oversubscribed, reflects the significant market interest in the Company’s Cobalt Ridge prospect and the wider Mt Gilmore Project area in N.S.W.

The funds raised pursuant to the Placement will be used primarily to fund the exploration at the Mt Gilmore Project and in particular the Cobalt Ridge prospect. This work includes drilling and processing test-work with a focus on producing cobalt suitable for use in rechargeable batteries.

The Placement also provides the Company with the capacity to drill large geophysical targets at the Fraser Lake Complex, within the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Canada. The Company’s maiden drill program at the Fraser Lake Complex, within Lynn Lake, is currently underway.
