DRILLING INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE COBALT MINERALISATION AT MT GILMORE PROJECT

  • Results have been received for the first five holes drilled at Cobalt Ridge - located within the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales

  • Three holes have intersected significant cobalt mineralisation, including multiple highergrade zones within broader packages of cobalt-copper-gold mineralisation

  • Western and eastern extensions to the main mineralised trend have been identified

  • Highlight result of 5m at 2.14% cobalt within a broader intersection of 27m at 0.47% cobalt in hole MGRC042 - identifies the faulted-off western extension to the Main Lode

  • Current proposed program includes 14 holes for over 2000 metres RC and core drilling at Cobalt Ridge – program may be extended subject to results

  • 12 holes have been completed for 1,363 metres of RC and 398.8 metres of core drilling

  • Drilling program expected to be completed in the current quarter, with results to be released as they become available

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) ( Corazon or Company ) is pleased to announce the first batch of assay results from its ongoing drilling program at the Mt Gilmore Cobalt-Copper-Gold Project ( Project ) in New South Wales.

The Company has received assay results from five holes (MGRC041 – MGRC043 and MGRC045) at the priority Cobalt Ridge prospect. Assay results from three holes are highly encouraging, identifying multiple cobalt-rich lodes within a broader package of mineralisation that identifies the Main Lode at Cobalt Ridge.

A highlight to date is the high-grade result of 5m @ 2.14% Cobalt (Co) within a broader intersection of 27m @ 0.47% Co from a down-hole depth of 49m, in drill hole MGRC042 (Table 1 and Figure 1). This hole appears to have identified the faulted-off western extension of the Main Lode and is highly representative of the main target at Cobalt ridge. Significant intersections are provided in Table 1 with drill hole locations provided in Figure 2.

Commenting on the results Corazon Managing Director Brett Smith said; “We are very pleased with these results. Cobalt Ridge is an intensely altered, structurally complex system and every drill hole helps us gain a greater understanding of this deposit. It’s a hole by hole process, however the results continue to validate and strengthen the Company’s belief that Cobalt Ridge has the potential to host a significant sulphide-dominant cobalt deposit, the understanding of which can then be applied to the greater Mt Gilmore Project area.”

Drilling Program Overview

The current drilling program is presently focused on priority targets within and around the Cobalt Ridge prospect. Drilling will also test features generated by the Company’s recently completed 3D Induced Polarisation ( IP ) geophysical survey.

Approximately 14 holes for 2000 metres of reverse circulation ( RC ) and core drilling are proposed. Approvals are also in place for the extension of the current program, subject to results.

To date, 12 holes have been completed for 1,363 metres of RC and 398.8 metres of core. Drilling is on-going and is expected to be completed in this quarter. The Company will provide further details on the progress of drilling and results as they become available.

The results of three holes that returned significant intercepts are presented in Table 1 below. Additional information regarding the drilling is provided in Table 2 attached.

Cobalt intercept calculation parameters: Greater than or equal to 0.3m down hole thickness, greater than or equal to 0.05% Co, greater than or equal to 0.05% Co cut-off and less than or equal to 3m internal dilution. Assay values at “lower than” detection limits are attributed a value of 50% of that detection limit for interval calculations.

Copper equivalents: The composited value of the cobalt-copper-gold mineralisation is presented as percentage copper equivalents (CuEq%). These metals have been historically extracted from small scale mining at Mt Gilmore and it is the Company’s belief that the cobalt, copper and gold is recoverable. Metallurgical test work currently underway is expected to underpin these assumptions. CuEq% = Cu% + (Co% * 10.63) + (ppm Au * 0.64). Metal prices used are Cu US$6,018/t, Co US$64,000/t and Au US$1,203/oz.

The most outstanding result is from hole MGRC042 . This hole has identified what is interpreted to be the faulted-off western extension of the Main Lode at Cobalt Ridge. The potential in this area was initially indicated by hole MGRC003 (32m @ 0.15 near surface) (Figure 1), although follow-up drilling to the west had failed to identify mineralisation typical of the Cobalt Ridge Main Lode.

Interpretations are that MGRC003 and MGRC042 tests a faulted-off block of the Main Lode and suggests there is potential to extend mineralisation to the west, north of where past drilling has been focused.

Figure 1 : Interpreted cross-section for MGRC042 (section location shown on Figure 2).

Drill hole MGRC040 (Figure 2) tested an IP chargeability high, south of the Main Lode at Cobalt Ridge. Several strong structures and alteration zones were intersected, however, there was very little cobalt anomalism.

MGRC041 (Figure 2) tested a large gap in the existing drilling of the Main Lode and defined near surface mineralisation, which has likely been depleted due to the effects of weathering. This hole represents the up-dip extension of historical holes PUL19 (17m at 0.37% Co from 59m, including 3m at 1.52% Co) and PUL29 (19m at 0.32% Co from 79m).

==> picture [594 x 96] intentionally omitted <==

MGRC043 (Figure 2) targeted a gap in the existing drilling, testing for parallel lodes south of the Main Lode at Cobalt Ridge. Only low levels of anomalism were intersected.

Drill hole MGRC045 (Figure 2) has identified the eastern extension of the Main Lode at Cobalt Ridge. This mineralisation is coincident with a small isolated IP chargeability high (geophysical anomaly). The zone is interpreted to be between 10 and 15 metres in true width (down-hole from 10 metres to 26 metres) and has not been well tested by previous drilling. While the tenor of the cobalt mineralisation in this hole is not as high as the main body of mineralisation, the sulphide content and alteration is very strong and this newly defined trend/extension provides a high priority drill target. Previous interpretations had the eastern extension of the Main Lode trending to the southeast. This trend is now considered to be a splay or a separate intersecting mineralised structure.

Drilling has been planned such that it is perpendicular to the main
