The drilling programme at Mt Gilmore validated historical mining and exploration results and confirmed the presence of multiple zones of sulphide mineralisation over a strike length of around 300m. 

Corazon completed its initial drilling at Cobalt Ridge last year. 

The present phase of surface geochemistry expands geochemical coverage in the immediate area of Cobalt Ridge, and identifies new targets for follow-up drilling.
