Coronet Provides Corporate Update, Advance White Caps Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 17, 2016) - Coronet Metals Inc. (TSXV: CRF) (FWB: 2CM) (OTC Pink: CORMF) ("Coronet" or the Company") is pleased to provide the following Corporate update:

During 2015 management focused on cleaning up the Company's balance sheet, which included the sale of its 100% owned subsidiary, Coronet Metals US Inc. and of its Peruvian subsidiary, which held a 100% interest in the Yanamina Gold Project. As a result, the Company is in an ideal position to re-capitalize and to re-focus all attention on the The White Caps Gold Project ("White Caps" or "The Project").

Since Coronet acquired White Caps in late 2012, the Company has assembled 123 patented and unpatented claims in the Manhattan District in Nevada and at the same time actively advancing the Project. Work to date includes land tenure work, extensive lab work on the tailings & dumps' grades and recoveries, water well refurbishment, water rights, hydrology/ground water modeling report, cultural report, habitat report, processing plant refurbishment plans, new tailings impoundment design and other studies, evaluations and estimates required for preparation of the submittal of the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") Plan of Operations permit application in conjunction with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection. This permit application was submitted in mid-2013 and a few more studies will have to be completed to satisfy the BLM requirements.

"This project has been kept in good standing for very good strategic reasons; it has the potential for near-term cash flow and has excellent exploration potential as a past producing area with numerous under-explored areas", says Theo van der Linde, President of Coronet. "Our strategy of acquiring precious metals mining projects which have the potential for both near-term cash flow and exploration upside will form the foundation for a long-term sustaining business".

The Company has launched a fresh new web site so please visit www.coronetmetals.com for more information on the project, the history of the area and up to date information regarding its near-term plans, execution and strategy.
