DRILLING COMMENCED AT PRIORITY SOUTH PIPE TARGET AT LYNN LAKE NICKEL SULPHIDE PROJECT
-
Drilling is underway testing the South Pipe Conductor – the highest priority target of the current drilling program
-
South Pipe is the largest conductive target in the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) at Lynn Lake
-
Conductive from ~100m to at least 850m below surface, and geophysically analogous to the high-grade EL Deposit at the Lynn Lake Mining Centre
-
Preparations are underway for downhole EM surveys on the first two holes of the current drilling program – surveys designed to refine targets for follow-up drilling
-
Results from current phase of drilling will be released when available
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the high priority South Pipe target as part of its current phase of drilling at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Manitoba Province, Canada.
The South Pipe is a significant conductive anomaly located on ground recently acquired by Corazon (ASX announcement 23 November 2020), and is the highest priority target of the Company’s current phase of drilling. The South Pipe target was generated from the recently completed aerial MobileMT geophysical survey at Lynn Lake (ASX announcements 3 September, 12 October and 9 November 2020).
Drilling has now commenced at the South Pipe, FLC2021-29 (#29), and results for this and other holes in the current program will be released at they become available. Preparations are also underway to conduct downhole electromagnetic geophysical surveys (EM) on all holes in the program. The EM surveys are designed to refine targets for follow-up drilling.
The current drilling program is testing several high-priority targets including recently identified geophysical conductors and comprises approximately 1,600 metres of diamond core drilling. The targets are situated immediately west of the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC)/ Matrix Trend (figures 1 and 3) – and also at the South Pipe, located more than 2 kilometres to the south, with follow-up work depending on results.
Corazon’s managing director Mr Brett Smith stated; “we are excited to have commenced drilling at the South Pipe. This target is the most significant target generated by Corazon’s recent exploration. We will also conduct downhole EM surveys on all holes in the current program, which to date have shown good indications of mineralisation, to help further refine our targets for follow up drilling.”
About the South Pipe Target
The vertical pipe-like South Pipe Conductor is characteristically different to the geophysical conductors being drilled to the west of the main FLC (Figure 1), which are believed to be in an environment dominated by horizontal or lateral intrusive magma flow.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 22 MARCH 2021
----- End of picture text -----
The South Pipe magnetic and conductive bodies (Figure 1) are possibly indicative of a deep-seated intrusive pathway that appear linked to known nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation within the FLC, further to the north.
These are the first pipe-like bodies identified at the FLC; importantly, they provide geological similarities to what has been observed within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre approximately nine kilometers to the northeast (Figure 3).
The southern body is conductive from about 100 metres below surface to at least 850 metres (Figure 2) and has geophysical characteristics analogous with the high-grade EL Deposit massive sulphide breccia within the Mining Centre. The EL Mine produced 1.9Mt @ 2.4% Ni and 1.15%Cu to a depth of only 250 metres below surface.
Current Work Program
Drilling is currently underway on the third hole of the program, FLC2021-29 (#29), which is designed to test the strong South Pipe conductor located approximately two (2) kilometres south from the previous drilling (holes #24 and #26) (Figure 1).
Hole #24, as planned, skirted the top of a conductor and intersected some promising sulphide material (ASX announcement 4 March 2021). Hole #26 went over the top of the targeted conductor and was terminated at a depth of 440 metres, due to the hole deviating significantly off target. Both holes provide a good platform for downhole EM, which is expected to define the conductance trends more accurately and enable targeted follow-up drilling.
The downhole EM geophysical contractors are on-site and have commenced work.
Results from the drilling and geophysics will be released as they become available. This will include, if appropriate, statements regarding definitive visual evidence of significant sulphide mineralisation.

About Corazon
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) 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 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 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.
