Coro Completes Consolidation of Marimaca District
with the Acquisition of Sierra Miranda Claims
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 6th, 2018 - Coro Mining Corp. (“Coro” or the “Company”)
(TSX: COP) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of the Sierra Miranda claims,
a package of concessions adjoining the Marimaca 1-23 claim. The acquisition of these claims is a major
milestone because the combination of the various Marimaca, Sierra Miranda, La At ómica and
Naguayan claims completes the consolidation of the greater Marimaca district. With a comprehensive
financing plan recently announced, the Company will have the land package and financial resources in
place to undertake a significant exploration program to expand and determine the full resource
potential of the Marimaca district.
Commenting on the announcement, Luis Tondo, President and CEO of C oro said: “I am pleased to
announce that we have now completed the acquisition of the Sierra Miranda claims, and therefore the
consolidation of ground that we consider prospective around the original Marimaca claim, to form the
greater Marimaca district. This was the first step in our strategy to realise value at Marimaca and with
a further financing in place, we will advance that strategy with a US$10 million resource expansion and
exploration drill program to fully understand the potential at this exciting new copper district.”
Marimaca Project Area
As geological confidence in a greater Marimaca resource has grown, the Company has moved decisively
to establish ownership over the prospective claims that surround the Marimaca 1-23 claim.
In June 2018, the Company announced the results of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the
Marimaca 1-23 claim. This DFS covered only a fraction of the bigger Marimaca area, being a condition
for Coro to earn a 51% interest in the property owner, Compañía Minera Newco Marimaca (CMNM).
It is the Company’s intention to exercise its option to acquire a further 24% of CMNM by contributing
its Ivan processing plant.
The Company has now consolidated ownership of the wider Marimaca district with the acquisition of
the Sierra Miranda claims. Furthermore, the option payments due over the next 12 months to acquire
the Naguayan and La Atómica 1-10 claims will be paid with funds from the recent private placement,
ensuring control of the district.
Sierra Miranda Claims
The Sierra Miranda Claims cover 379 hectares adjoining the core Marimaca 1-23 claim immediately to
the north and south.

The most important areas within the Sierra Miranda package are adjacent to the Marimaca 1-23 and
La At ómica 1 -10 claims. Surface and underground mapping and sampling has shown that very
attractive brochantite rich Marimaca style copper mineralization extends for at least 700 metres from
the northern boundary of the Marimaca 1-23 claim.
The total consideration for the Sierra Miranda claims was US$6.0 million and they are subject to a 2%
NSR.
Marimaca District Exploration Program
The company will invest US$10 million in the Marimaca District resource expansion and exploration
program. The main objective is to reveal the copper oxide resource potential at La At ómica and
Atahualpa-Santa Maria properties (part of the Sierra Miranda claims), which can be combined with the
existing known Marimaca 1 -23 claim and thereby the resources across the whole Marimaca district.
The company has initiated an 8,500 metre reverse circulation drill program at La Atómica and drill
platforms are being established on the adjacent Atahualpa and Santa Maria, in preparation for the
copper oxide resource discovery and expansion drill program. Additional surface exploration work ,
including detailed outcrop geological mapping as well as geochemical sampling, will be conducted
elsewhere on the newly acquired claims to further define exploration drill targets. Details of the full
program will be provided, following the completion of the rights offering currently underway and
expected to complete at the end of September 2018.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
LUIS TONDO, PRESIDENT & CEO.
