DRILLING APPROVED FOR PRIORITY
SOUTH PIPE TARGET
-
Regulatory approvals have been received for drilling the South Pipe Geophysical Conductor anomaly within the Lynn Lake Project in Manitoba, Canada
-
The South Pipe target is a high priority drill target
-
It is a new large conductive and magnetic pipe-like feature located south of the Fraser Lake Complex, on ground recently acquired by the Company
-
The South Pipe appears analogous to the massive nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide bodies at the Lynn Lake Mining Centre – specifically, the high-grade EL Mine
-
Work will immediately commence on building access to the drill target – drilling will be included in the current phase of drilling at Fraser Lake
-
Results from this phase of drilling will be announced as they become available
Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce it has now received all government approvals for drilling at the high-priority South Pipe Conductor target, situated on recently acquired tenure in the southern area of the Lynn Lake NickelCopper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Manitoba Province, Canada.
The South Pipe is currently Corazon’s highest ranked geophysical anomaly; drilling of this target will be incorporated in the current phase of drilling which has just commenced (ASX announcement, 11 February 2021).
The South Pipe is a significant conductive anomaly located on new ground acquired by Corazon in late 2020 (ASX announcement 23 November 2020). The target was generated from the Company’s recently completed aerial MobileMT geophysical survey at Lynn Lake (ASX announcements 3 September, 12 October and 9 November 2020).
The vertical pipe-like South Pipe Conductor is characteristically different to the geophysical conductors currently being drilled to the west of the main Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), which are believed to be in an environment dominated by horizontal or lateral intrusive magma flow.
Vertical, pipe-like mafic/ultramafic and sulphide intrusive bodes, similar to the South Pipe, are a common feature of the main Lynn Lake Mining Centre, located approximately 9 kilometres to the north - which produced 22.2 million tons at 1% nickel and 0.5% copper between 1953 and 1976.
The Company will now commence preparations for drilling the South Pipe, which will include securing site access to the drill target.
Drilling is progressing at the FLC. Results from this work will be released as they become available, and will include, if appropriate, statements regarding definitive visual evidence of significant sulphide mineralisation. Drilling will then progress to the South Pipe.

About the South Pipe Target
The newly defined South Pipe magnetic anomaly includes two parallel pipe-like bodies approximately 150 meters apart (Figures 1 and 2); they are a dominant geophysical feature in the area west of the FLC.
The vertical features are possibly indicative of a deep-seated intrusive pathway that appears 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 that observed within the Lynn Lake Mining Centre approximately nine kilometers to the northeast (Figure 1).
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. In 2011 Corazon discovered the EL Deeps mineralisation below the mine, with highlight drill intercepts including:
-
23.75m @ 3.34% Ni 1.54% Cu from 731.25m
-
44.75m @ 1.55%Ni, 0.65%Cu & 0.044%Co from 773.93m, i ncluding
-
3.85m @ 2.83%Ni, 0.24%Cu & 0.073%Co from 773.93m
-
11.03m @ 2.31%Ni, 1.01%Cu & 0.062%Co from 784.90m
-
11.51m @ 2.37%Ni, 0.78%Cu & 0.062%Co from 807.17m
-
23.91m @ 2.27% Ni, 0.80% Cu & 0.055% Co from 715.09 m; including
-
4.53m @ 3.34% Ni, 1.05% Cu & 0.081% Co from 715.09 m; and
-
1.82m @ 4.38% Ni, 0.37% Cu & 0.101% Co from 726.18 m
The EL Deeps mineralisation remains open in all directions and provides a high-grade development front for any future mining operations at Lynn Lake.

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 highgrade 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.
