Coro Subsidiary Options Salvadora Copper Project

18.05.2016  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 18, 2016) - Coro Mining Corp. ("Coro" or the "Company") (TSX:COP) is pleased to announce that its 65% owned Chilean subsidiary, SCM Berta ("SCMB"), has optioned the Salvadora copper project, located ~30km NW of the Nora plant and 58km NE of the port of Chañaral in the III Region of Chile. Coro previously explored Salvadora under option in 2006-7 including a reverse circulation (RC) drill program of 64 RC holes for 8,892m, with results reported on September 20th, 2007. A second drill program of 14 RC holes for 3,282m was completed on the property by a private company in 2014.

Purchase Agreement Terms

SCMB may acquire a 100% interest in the property by completing the following option payment schedule;

  • At signing: US$5k
  • On or before 15 Jun 2016: US$30k
  • On or before 15 Jul 2016: US$70k
  • On or before 15 Nov 2016; US$30k
  • On or before 15 May 2017; US$180k
  • On or before 15 May 2018; US$250k
  • On or before 15 May 2019; US$2,440k
  • Total US$3,005k

The final payment can be made in 8 equal instalments of US$305k + interest at LIBOR, and SCMB can start production with the first instalment payment. A 1.5% NSR is payable which can be purchased for $1,500k at any time.

Coro also announces that SCMB has leased the Veronica property, located ~26km W of the Nora plant, for 5 years in return for a production royalty.

Alan Stephens, President and CEO of Coro commented, "SCMB actively intends to access to as many satellite deposits as possible in its area of operation, through property acquisitions and production leases. Our Nora plant provides us with a competitive advantage as most of these deposits are not viable as stand alone operations. We intend to truck ore from the higher grade ones and install leach facilities at the larger, lower grade deposits. Salvadora falls into the latter category and we are pleased to be able to acquire it on reasonable terms. No independent resource estimate has been completed on the property but, based on the existing drilling, we see good potential for 10-15mt @ 0.4 - 0.5% CuT of leachable mineralization, with a low strip ratio, as shown on Figure 2. Previous bottle roll test work carried out by Coro in 2007 indicates that acceptable recoveries and acid consumptions should be achievable. Veronica hosts a 20-30m wide structure previously mined from a small open pit, and offers good potential for a small tonnage, good grade trucking operation. We look forward to further defining both deposits and continue to seek others to add to our inventory."

About Salvadora

Salvadora comprises a NW oriented structure, dipping at ~45° to the SW and hosted by andesitic volcanics intruded by diorite dykes and irregular bodies. Mineralization is of IOCG type and is associated with disseminated specularite and brecciation. Outcrop in the prospect area is limited to a series of small open pits and based on drilling, trenching and geochemistry, the structure has been traced over a strike length of approximately 1000m. It is widest, and mineralization is best developed, over a 600m central section of the structure. Oxidation occurs to vertical depths of 60-100m and sulphide mineralization has been intersected to depths of ~150m.

About Coro Mining Corp.:

Coro's strategy is to grow a mining business through the discovery, development and operation of "Coro type" deposits. These are defined as projects at whatever stage of development, that are well located with respect to infrastructure and water, which have low permitting risk, and which have the potential to achieve a short and cost effective timeline to production. Our preference is for open pit heap leach copper projects, where we will seek to minimise capital investment rather than maximise NPV, where we will prioritise profitability over production rate, and finally, where the likely capital cost is financeable relative to our market capitalization. The Company's assets include its 65% interest in SCM Berta including the Berta and Salvadora deposits; the Marimaca drill stage project; the Planta Prat project; the Llancahue prospect, optioned to Industrias Peñoles; and a royalty on the San Jorge copper-gold project located in Argentina.
