CORAZON COMMENCES DRILLING AT MT GILMORE NSW Targeting a Large Mineralised Porphyry
-
Corazon has commenced drilling at the Mt Gilmore Copper Cobalt Gold Project in New South Wales
-
Drilling will test the high priority Gordonbrook Hill mineralised porphyry intrusion, coincident with a large multi-metal geochemical anomaly and an IP chargeability geophysical anomaly
-
This will be the very first drill holes into the Mt Gilmore copper trend;
-
Central 8km strike copper-cobalt-silver-gold soil geochemical anomaly
-
Multiple high-grade rock chip and grab samples
-
Identified mineralised copper porphyry at surface.
-
The initial program will include two core holes for an estimated 900 metres – results will be released when available
-
Activities also underway to enable the recommencement of drilling at the Lynn Lake Nickel Sulphide Project in Canada as soon as practicable
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Mt Gilmore Copper-Cobalt-Gold Project (Mt Gilmore or Project) in New South Wales (Figure 1).
Drilling will target the priority 8km-long Gordonbrook Hill – May Queen copper-cobaltsilver-gold anomaly, within the greater 20km long Mt Gilmore Trend. This is the maiden drill program at the Gordonbrook Hill target and comprises two core holes for a total of 900 metres, designed to test the area near the Gordonbrook Hill mineralised porphyry, identified by Corazon in 2020 (ASX announcement 9 October 2020).
This porphyry intrusion is mapped at surface over approximately 300 meters and is semiparallel with the strike of a well-defined geophysical anomaly (an Induced Polarisation chargeability-high corridor). These coincident geochemical and geophysical features represent a significant mineralised porphyry target, kilometres in scale, making Gordonbrook Hill the priority target at Mt Gilmore.
Corazon’s Managing Director, Mr Brett Smith stated;
“We are excited about the very first drill holes into the high priority Gordonbrook Hill target at Mt Gilmore. The drilling will test new concepts, targeting one area of what looks to be a very large mineralised hydrothermal system. ”
This phase of drilling is expected to be completed over the next two months, with results released as they become available.

Figure 1 – Mt Gilmore Project Location Plan
Background to Gordonbrook Hill Porphyry Target
The Mt Gilmore Project is located near Grafton in northern New South Wales, and is centered on an anomalous copper, cobalt, gold, silver and molybdenum trend, which is in excess of 20 kilometres in length (figures 1 and 2).
Corazon’s exploration is designed to identify the source of widespread multi-metal anomalism, in what appears to be a copper-gold intrusive related hydrothermal system. This style of mineralisation is prevalent on the east coast of Australia.
The identification of a copper-bearing diorite porphyry intrusion at the Gordonbrook Hill Prospect (Figure 2) in 2020 significantly advanced the prospectivity of the Mt Gilmore Project.
This intrusion is located on the margin of a strong copper, cobalt, silver and gold soil geochemical anomaly. The soil anomaly is coincident with the surface projection of a concealed, high-value, Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical anomaly. Such geophysical features can be indicative of disseminated sulphide bodies.
The porphyry intrusion outcrop at Gordonbrook Hill is approximately 300 meters long, striking northeast-southwest. It is semi-parallel with the strike of Gordonbrook Hill’s welldefined IP chargeability-high corridor (Figure 2).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 17 JUNE 2021

These coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies at Gordonbrook Hill represent a significant mineralised porphyry target and is the priority target at Mt Gilmore.
Lynn Lake Exploration Activities
Exploration activities at Lynn Lake are continuing as a priority.
Recent work at Lynn Lake has focused on regional exploration, in particular drill testing geophysical anomalies at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), approximately 10 kilometres south of the Lynn Lake Mining Centre.
An aerial MobleMT geophysical survey identified a large area of conductance in a new area to the west of the FLC (ASX announcements 9 and 23 November 2020). Drilling of these targets intersected favourable host rocks for nickel sulphide and extensive indications of magmatic sulphide mineralisation. Subsequent down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) testing of this drilling identified large off-hole conductors that may represent strong accumulation of magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide (ASX announcement 16 April 2021).
Fingerprinting of identified DHEM plates (discrete anomalies), via post-processing of the MobileMT geophysics, has identified numerous, look-a-like geophysical features within the FLC.
Drill testing of the conductor plates defined by the DHEM surveys and the new more discrete anomalies defined by recent reprocessing of the MobileMT data are a priority for the Company. Drilling is expected to be undertaken once ground conditions improve, subsequent to the spring melt, which is currently in progress.
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 Sulphide 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 is developing 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 an early-stage exploration project that hosts a regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive copper, cobalt and gold anomalism. The Company has completed definition drilling at the Cobalt Ridge Deposit and is currently exploring the greater Mt Gilmore Trend for intrusive related copper-gold deposits.
