VANCOUVER, Aug. 27, 2018 - Coro Mining Corp. (“Coro” or the “Company”) (TSX: COP) is pleased to announce that it has now completed the Chilean legal registrations and has title over 51% of the corporate entity holding the Marimaca 1-23 Claims, following the completion of the initial Definitive Feasibility Study, released in June 2018.

A comprehensive exploration program for the Marimaca district will also be announced once the ongoing rights offering has been completed. In the meantime, the Company has completed detailed surface geological mapping and sampling of underground workings at La Atómica. In January 2018, Coro announced encouraging results from drilling at La Atómica, and following this, has now initiated a 10,000 metre reverse circulation drill program which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
Commenting on the announcement, Luis Tondo, President and CEO of Coro said: “The granting of 51% ownership in our flagship project Marimaca is an important first step for Coro as we progress the consolidation of the greater Marimaca district. I am also delighted that, following the recent financing, we have been able to recommence the drilling program at La Atómica with the deployment of two drill rigs. I look forward to sharing the drilling results with the market in the coming months.”
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
LUIS TONDO, PRESIDENT & CEO
