Marimaca Exploration Update: Atahualpa Underground Sampling Demonstrates 800 Metre Extension of Marimaca Mineralization

VANCOUVER, Nov. 27, 2018 - Coro Mining Corp. (“Coro” or the “Company”) (TSX: COP) is pleased to announce further exciting exploration results from its Marimaca project. Results from the sampling of historic underground workings in the Atahualpa area indicate a continuous 800 metre extension of mineralization to the north of the Marimaca 1-23 resource, announced in April 2018. A 17,000 metre RC drilling program has commenced at Atahualpa, increased from the original 12,000 metre plan to test for potentially thicker mineralization.

Commentary
Exploration activities at Atahualpa have been aided by historic and easily accessible sub-horizontal mine workings that extend for approximately 800 metres in a north-north west direction from the Marimaca 1-23 resource limits, and to a depth of 100 metres below surface. Consequently, a total of approximately 2,000 metres of continuous underground workings have been geologically mapped and channel sampled.

The results demonstrate that the rock types, structures and copper oxide mineralization are similar to those observed at Marimaca 1-23; consisting of parallel, 50° east dipping fractures in monzodiorite intruded by dacitic to dioritic dykes, hosting brochantite dominated mineralization. Figure 1 shows the location of the Atahualpa underground workings in relation to the previously reported drilling.

Underground workings are north-south, north-north west and east-west oriented, accessible by truck and display good rock quality conditions. Although no reports on earlier mining activities exist, it is believed from sampling and the continuous copper oxide mineralization exposed in the declines and adits that the workings were developed to mine material estimated to contain above 2% copper.

Figure 2 shows the distribution of copper in the workings and the location of selected intervals. This demonstrates consistent grades of 0.6 - 0.8% CuT and above, clearly indicating that mineralization continues significantly to the north from the Marimaca 1-23 resource.

Atahualpa RC Drilling Program
The Company has now commenced an RC drilling program at Atahualpa, the main objective of which is to define the continuation of copper mineralization northwards from the Marimaca 1-23 resource.

The program comprises a 100 x 100 metres grid covering an area of 400 x 750 metres. This area was previously mapped and sampled including the sampling of the underground workings whose results were reported here. Oxide copper mineralization was observed in many outcrops, access roads as around drill pad locations. It is believed that the nature and controls of mineralization are identical to those observed at Marimaca 1-23.

Originally 51 holes for a total 12,310 metres were planned, but because mineralization appears to be thicker than originally anticipated, the program has been increased to 17,000m to drill to greater depths.

Phase II Program Upcoming Milestones
The Marimaca Phase II exploration program is advancing according to plan. Following the announcement of preliminary drill results from La Atómica earlier this month, the Company is on track to complete and announce all drill results for La Atómica by the end of the year, in addition to results from the sampling of underground workings in that area. The Company also anticipates announcing the first batch of drill results from Atahualpa before the end of the year.

Sample and Assay Protocol
The samples were taken as 2 metres continuous chip channel samples in previously carefully cleaned surface walls. Both adit walls were sampled by Coro personnel. The samples were transported to the Andes Analytical Assays (“AAA”) preparation laboratory in Calama. Samples were prepared using the following standard protocol: drying, crushing to better than 80% passing -10#, homogenizing, splitting and pulverizing a 400 g subsample to 95% passing -150#. All samples were assayed for CuT and CuS by AAS. No standards, blanks or duplicates were employed. After sampling, underground workings were geologically mapped in detail following a protocol adapted from that used for bore hole logging, with emphasis on mineralization and its structural and litohologic controls.
