Dear Mr Logarajah
Response to Price Query dated 8 May 2026
Corazon Mining Limited (the Company or CZN) refers to the letter from ASX dated 8 May 2026 (ASX Letter) regarding the change in the price of CZN's securities from a close of $0.135 on 7 May 2026 to an intraday high of $0.21 on 8 May 2026 and the significant increase in the volume of CZN's securities traded on that day, and provides the following responses.
- Is CZN aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market which, if known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in its securities?
Yes. At the time of receipt of the ASX Letter, the Company was:
- in incomplete, confidential negotiations in relation to the potential acquisition of 100% of the Chalice Gold Project from a wholly owned subsidiary of Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX) (Acquisition); and
- in receipt of primary gold assay results (40g fire assay with AAS finish) from the Two Pools diamond drilling program (Assay Information).
At the time of receipt of the ASX Letter:
- the terms of the Acquisition remained incomplete, confidential and subject to ongoing negotiations in respect of the binding documentation. The final terms were agreed between the Company and Westgold on 18 May 2026 when the parties entered into a binding asset sale and purchase agreement; and
- the Assay Information was being interpreted by the Company, undergoing third party validation and was considered to be incomplete and insufficiently definite to warrant disclosure. The collation and interpretation of the Assay Information was presented to the Company's board of directors and approved on 18 May 2026.
On 19 May 2026, the Company released announcements regarding:

(together, the Announcements).
a) Has CZN sent samples from an exploration programme to a laboratory for testing, for which it is yet to receive the results?
No.
b) If the answer to (a) is "yes", please provide the exact date(s) on which samples were sent.
Not applicable.
c) If the answer to (a) is "yes", when are the results expected to be received from the laboratory? Please provide as much detail as possible about the expected timing.
Not applicable.
d) When was the sampling completed?
Sampling of the diamond drill core from the Two Pools Gold Project was completed on 25 April 2026.
e) What arrangements (if any) does CZN have in place to maintain confidentiality of its exploration results until they are announced?
The Company maintains the following arrangements to preserve the confidentiality of its exploration results until they are announced:
- all consultants and contractors engaged in connection with exploration programmes are required to execute confidentiality agreements prior to receiving exploration results;
- dissemination of exploration results is restricted to those persons who have a need to know for the purposes of advancing the relevant programme;
- all persons with knowledge of exploration results are reminded of their confidentiality obligations; and
- the Company maintains internal protocols limiting access to exploration data and results to authorised personnel only.
- If the answer to question 1 is “yes”.
Is CZN relying on Listing Rule 3.1A not to announce that information under Listing Rule 3.1? Please note that the recent trading in CZN's securities would suggest to ASX that such information may have ceased to be confidential and therefore CZN may no longer be able to rely on Listing Rule 3.1A. Accordingly, if the answer to this question is “yes”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss the situation.
At the time the Company received the ASX Letter, the Company was relying on Listing Rule 3.1A not to announce the ongoing confidential negotiations in relation to the Acquisition and the Assay Information on the basis that the information was incomplete, a reasonable person would
