Electronic flat band systems are a fertile platform to host correlation-induced quantum phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity, magnetism and topological orders. While flat band has been established in geometrically frustrated structures, such as the kagome lattice, flat band-induced correlation effects especially in those multi-orbital bulk systems are rarely seen. Here we report negative magnetoresistance and signature of ferromagnetic fluctuations in a prototypical kagome metal CoSn, which features a flat band in proximity to the Fermi level. We find that the magnetoresistance is dictated by electronic correlations via Fermi level tuning. Combining with first principles and model calculations, we establish flat band-induced correlation effects in a multi-orbital electronic system, which opens new routes to realize unconventional superconducting and topological states in geometrically frustrated metals.
