Coro Completes Environmental Baseline Study
at its Marimaca Copper Project in Chile and Provides a Brief Corporate Update
February 9, 2017 - Coro Mining Corp. (“Coro” or the “Company”) (TSX Symbol: COP) is pleased to announce
that an environmental baseline study has been completed for the Marimaca copper leach development- stage
project, located in the II Region of the Republic of Chile.
The work was carried out by an independent consultant, BORDOLI & Consultores Asociados EIRL of
Antofagasta, Chile between November 2016 and January 2017. The consultant concluded that there were no
material environmental issues that would impede the develo pment of the Marimaca project , and the
information gathered will form part of the feasibility study for the project that is in progress. It will also form
the basis for the environmental permit applications for Marimaca, which will be submitted in due course.
Alan Stephens, President and CEO of Coro commented, “ We are pleased to have completed this important
phase of the project’s evaluation which, together with the previously announced maiden resource estimate
(see Coro press release dated January 12, 2017 ) and the planned acquisition of the Ivan processing plant,
confirm our intention to accelerate the development of Marimaca.
The Company is also progressing through the acquisition of the Ivan processing plant and anticipates a closing
of this arrangement by the end of Q1 2017. The recently announced Marimaca pit -constrained mineral
resource estimate of 145,500 tonnes of copper in the measured and indicated categories and the 99,300
tonnes of copper in the inferred category provided the resource confirmation necessary to validate the
decision to acquire the Ivan processing plant.
Corporate Update
In light of the improved compan y outlook with respect to both the Nora/Berta and Marimaca projects, Coro
has heightened its investor outreach program to include a greater focus on social media, broader reach to
potential new shareholder groups and greater exposure within the mining comm unity. Coro has partnered
with InvestorIntel, which is currently featuring a video interview with CEO Alan Stephens highlighting the new
resource estimate at Marimaca and progress at the Nora/Berta operation ( www.investorintel.com). In
addition, Coro will be marketing in the western United States in late February and will be presenting at the
Investor Forum during the Prospectors and Developers Conference (PDAC) in early March. More information
will be forthcoming on these activities as the dates approach.

About Coro Mining Corp.:
Coro Mining is a copper-producing company with a strategy to grow its Chilean copper production through the
discovery, development and operation of "Coro type" deposits. These are projects and properties that are well-
located with respect to infrastructure and water, have low permitting risk and the potential for a short and
cost-effective timeline to production. Our preference is open pit heap leach copper projects, where we will
seek to minimize capital investment rather than maximize NPV; where we will prioritize profitability over
production rate and where we will keep capital costs in relative proportion to our market capitalization. The
Company's main assets include the Marimaca development project, in which the company is earning a 75%
ownership and its 65% interest in SCM Berta, which includes the Nora and Berta operations as well as the El
Jote deposit.
