Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce the strategic expansion of its MacBride Base and Precious Metals Project (MacBride or Project) in the Lynn Lake district, of Manitoba, Canada.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Corazon has secured additional ground at the MacBride Base and Precious Metals Project in Canada’s Lynn Lake district
- MacBride Project now covers a 14-kilometre strike of stratigraphy prospective for Cu-Zn-Au-Ag massive sulphide deposits, including the drill-defined outcropping MacBride and Wellmet deposits
- High-grade gold assays from historical sampling (up to 25.9g/t Au in grab samples) within the new ground further highlights the region’s prospectivity for orogenic gold deposits
- An aerial VTEM geophysical survey is currently underway
- Previous VTEM survey effectively defined a conductor coincident with the MacBride Deposit, as well as multiple untested, high-priority conductors undercover on trend
- The new VTEM survey provides greater coverage of the MacBride Project, including the first-time survey of the Wellmet Cu-Au and Zn-Cu-Au trends
- Results from the new VTEM survey are expected to be available in the coming weeks and will be used in targeting drilling for early 2025
- The MacBride Project is an exciting exploration opportunity and will be a major focus of Corazon’s ongoing Lynn Lake region exploration activities
The Company has physically staked and made applications for new Mining Claims that increases the MacBride project area from ~26km2 to ~56km2, covering a contiguous
~14km strike length of the prospective MacBride/Wellmet trend (Figure 1). The new Claims are pending grant by the Manitoba Provincial Government.
The new area hosts several prospects identified by historical exploration, including results as high as 25.9 g/t Au in grab sampling at Prospect Area F (Figure 1).
Exploration at MacBride between the 1940’s and early 1990’s defined the MacBride and Wellmet copper-zinc-gold- silver deposits and established the fertility of the region. The only recent exploration was a 2008 aerial VTEM (versatile time domain electromagnetic) survey, which identified the MacBride deposit as a conductor, along with multiple high-order conductive bodies, undercover along trend (ASX announcement 7 October 2024). These conductive bodies are yet to be followed up with drilling.
The MacBride Project is a major focus of Corazon’s Lynn Lake region exploration activities. The effectiveness of past geophysical VTEM surveys in defining drill-defined massive sulphide mineralisation has resulted in extending coverage over a larger part of the project area. The geophysical conductors defined from this work will be the priority focus for first pass drilling currently proposed for early 2025.
The MacBride Project expansion further enhances Corazon’s position as a significant landholder and active explorer- developer in the Lynn Lake district, which also hosts the Company’s 100% owned, flagship Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper- Cobalt Sulphide Project.
