Coro Announces Berta Environmental Impact Declaration Submitted Based on Processing Solution at Third Party SXEW Plant

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 7, 2013) - Coro Mining Corp. ("Coro" or the "Company") (TSX:COP) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, SCM Berta S.A. ("SCMB") and a third party have executed a preliminary agreement which accompanied SCMB's submission of an Environmental Impact Declaration ("EID") for the Berta project, located approximately 20km west of the village of Inca de Oro, in the III Region of Chile. The agreement contemplates the treatment of pregnant leach solution ("PLS") from Berta at the third party's SXEW operation, and the parties are working towards the completion of a definitive agreement for the proposed arrangement.

Subject to SCMB obtaining its environmental permits, execution of the definitive agreement, completion of engineering studies and arrangement of project financing, the third party would treat PLS from Berta and would supply water to Berta, for a period of 5 years. Development of the project would include the construction by SCMB of a pipeline between Berta and the third party's processing facilities.

The EID was funded by ProPipe as part of their work commitment to earn up to a 50% interest in SCMB, and as a consequence of submitting the EID, ProPipe have earned a 13% total interest in SCMB.

Alan Stephens, President and CEO of Coro commented, "Coro is focused on expeditiously advancing Berta to production as our core development project. Under the proposed arrangement, the only processing facilities required at Berta would be a crusher, an agglomerator, the leach pads and the pipeline. The EID evaluation process is anticipated to take approximately 6 months, and a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the project is nearing completion. We look forward to SCMB executing the definitive agreement with the third party; to completing the engineering studies; to obtaining the required environmental permits; and to obtaining financing for the project, which is anticipated to produce 5,000-10,000 tonnes of cathode copper per year."

About Berta

Berta is a near surface, copper oxide deposit, with mineralization, as defined by drilling, mapping and geochemistry, occurring in three principal areas; Berta Sur, Berta Central and Berta Norte. It is associated with sub-vertical, elongate, potassically altered porphyry intrusive bodies and related hydrothermal and intrusive breccias, emplaced into a tonalite stock. Oxidation extends from surface to depths of 50m to 100m. Berta Sur comprises a single, coherent body of mineralization that has not been previously mined, while Berta Central comprises several smaller bodies, located immediately north of Berta Sur, which were the focus for previous small scale artisanal copper oxide production. Berta Norte comprises several, discreet, NW oriented zones of mineralization, individually 25-85m in width, 100-250m in strike length and largely gravel covered. A resource estimate has not yet been completed for Berta Norte. Coro has identified potential for additional copper oxide resources elsewhere on the property, and in the surrounding district.

Coro announced a NI43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Berta Sur area, in its news release dated December 6th 2012 and the results of preliminary metallurgical test work in its news release dated November 5 2012. On May 8 2013, the Company announced that it had signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with ProPipe SA, ("ProPipe") an engineering firm based in Santiago, Chile giving ProPipe the right to earn up to a 50% interest in the Berta property by funding the further development of the project. On August 7 2013, Coro announced an increased resource estimate for Berta together with the results of additional metallurgical test work. The shareholder's agreement for SCM Berta, formed by Coro and ProPipe, is being finalized.
