Lynn Lake Advancing on Shallow Mineralisation and New Discoveries

The Lynn Lake project leads on multiple fronts and is presently advancing on the drilling program at the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC), a prospective zone almost 5 kilometres from the Lynn Lake mining centres. The Lynn Lake exploration program has been advancing on the set two-pronged strategy to maximise the mineral resources potential by uncovering the shallow mineralisation and identifying new prospective targets holding potential for bulk mineralisation. The target area within the FLC during the past drilling program uncovered bulk magmatic sulphide system.

The drilling program at the FLC is paused for now due to high water levels from the seasonal meltdown of the snow and the company anticipates recommencing the drilling program later this month. The drilling hole observed an increase in the sulphide content with depth (1-8% variation, 490 metres down-hole) and has reached the top of the targeted anomaly.

Corazon has utilised various geophysical techniques, processed and interpreted the datasets to streamline the targeting methodologies. Corazon plans to utilise the improved methods for further exploration and development of new deposits.

Corazon last traded at $0.002 a share with a market capitalisation of $4.82 million.
