LYNN LAKE NICKEL PROJECT DRILLING PROGRAM UPDATE

  • Drilling continues at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) within the Lynn Lake NickelCopper-Cobalt Sulphide Project in Canada

  • Hole FLC2020-22 has been completed to target depth and provides further evidence of the potential for gravitational accumulation of sulphides

  • Drilling has not intersected the gabbro’s basal contact and as such the hole will be kept open for further testing of the targets at depth – subject to results of additional geophysical surveys to be completed this month

  • Drilling now underway at 2[nd] priority target at the FLC – the Western Contact Zone – which hosts multiple geophysical anomalies

  • Initial target at the Western Contact Zone is a coincident magnetic high, gravity high, IP chargeability high and EM conductor

  • Drilling is ongoing and results will be released when available

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to provide an update on its current phase of drilling at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Manitoba province, Canada.

Corazon’s drilling is focused on priority exploration targets at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), within the wider Lynn Lake Project area. The FLC is situated five (5) kilometres south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre (Figure 1), where the Company is targeting significant, new nickel-sulphide discoveries.

The Company has now completed drilling at the first hole of the current program - drill hole FLC2020-22 – and has moved on to the second priority hole.

Hole FLC2020-22 was designed to test a magnetic high, possibly the result of the gravitational accumulation of suphide at the base of the FLC gabbroic intrusion and was successfully drilled to 704 metres (approximate target depth of ~530 metres below surface).

Hole FLC2020-22 did not intersect the basal contact of the intrusion as defined by existing geophysical surveys. An additional geophysical survey is proposed for later this month, which is expected to provide greater detail and clarity of this target at depth. As such, FLC2020-22 has been left open to facilitate re-entry and possible drilling below the current depth.

To its current depth, FLC2020-22 has not intersected significant sulphide accumulations. Interstitial sulphide of up to approximately 8% has been logged within

the gabbro. Sulphides within the Lynn Lake gabbros are typically dominated by pyrrhotite (iron), with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite (copper) and pentlandite (nickel).

In addition, characteristics exist within the gabbro drilled by FLC2020-22 that are indicative of gravitational segregation of minerals/sulphides (magmatic layering), supporting the potential for accumulation of heavy minerals (including sulphide) near the basal contact and in-line with the target model.

Drilling at new target area – Western Contact Zone

Drilling has now moved to a new target area within the FLC - the Western Contact Zone (WCZ), located approximately 800 metres to the northwest from hole FLC2020-22.

There are multiple geophysical anomalies within the WCZ, and drilling has commenced on the initial target (FLC2020-23), which is a coincident magnetic high, gravity high, IP chargeability high and EM conductor.

The WCZ target area has been generated from the recent re-processing of geophysical data. It links the Motruiuk Complex (ultramafic intrusive including peridotites) (Figure 1) with the marginal gabbroic units of the FLC.

About Corazon

Corazon Mining Limited is an Australian resource company with projects in Australia and Canada.

In Canada, Corazon has consolidated the entire historical Lynn Lake Nickel Copper Cobalt Mining Centre (Lynn Lake) in the province of Manitoba. It is the first time Lynn Lake has been under the control of one company since mine closure in 1976.

Lynn Lake presents Corazon with a major development opportunity that is becoming increasingly prospective due to recent increases in the value of both nickel and cobalt metals, and their expected strong demand outlooks associated with their core use in the emerging global electric vehicle industry.

In Australia, Corazon has the Mt Gilmore Cobalt Copper Gold Sulphide Project (Mt Gilmore) located in New South Wales, which hosts the Cobalt Ridge Deposit - a unique high-grade cobalt-dominant sulphide deposit.

Mt Gilmore is a regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive cobalt, copper and gold anomalism. The Company has completed definition drilling at the Cobalt Ridge Deposit and is currently identifying new areas prospective for additional Cobalt Ridge lookalike deposits.

Both Lynn Lake and Mt Gilmore place Corazon in a strong position to take advantage of the growing demand for commodities critically required for the booming rechargeable battery sector.

Competent Persons Statement :

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Targets is based on information compiled by Mr. Brett Smith, B.Sc Hons (Geol), Member AusIMM, Member AIG and an employee of Corazon Mining Limited. Mr. Smith has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr. Smith consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

Forward Looking Statements

This announcement contains certain statements that may constitute “forward looking statement”. Such statements are only predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual values, results, performance achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or projected in any forward looking statements.

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.
