Coro Mining Reports Substantial Copper Intersections at Marimaca

Coro Mining (TSX:COP) has reported substantial intersections of copper in results from its first 8 holes of its reverse circulation drilling program at the Marimaca copper project.
As quoted in the press release:

The Marimaca property contains a number of N-S trending, ~60°E dipping, broad shear zones, cross cut by later NE-SW oriented sub vertical feeder structures, all hosted by Jurassic age intrusive rocks. The intersection of these structures has produced wide NW-SE oriented zones of eastward dipping mineralization that have been exploited from a series of open cuts and small underground workings by artisanal miners. Coro’s program is the first ever drilling carried out on the property and tested the larger West Zone and a smaller East Zone; other zones of mineralization as defined by old workings, anomalous rock geochemistry and outcropping copper oxides remain to be tested.

Coro president and CEO, Alan Stephens, said:

We are delighted by these initial results from our drilling program at Marimaca with many holes bottoming in mineralization, and confirming the potential for a sizeable leachable copper deposit in a great location. We look forward to announcing the results from the second batch of drill holes, together with a fuller description of the mineralization, shortly.
