Coro Provides Update for its SCM Berta Operations

Coro Mining Corp. (“Coro” or the “Company”) (TSX:COP) is pleased to provide an update for its 65% owned SCM Berta leachable copper operations, located in the III Region of the Republic of Chile.
Following the completion of the financing announced in December 2016, the installation of heap leaching and crushing facilities at the Berta mine site is nearing completion. The crusher has been commissioned and loading of the heap leach pads is expected to start around the middle of this month. Leaching of copper is anticipated to commence by month end, with trucking of concentrated Pregnant Leach Solution to the Nora processing plant thereafter. The plant is being expanded from 3,000t/yr (6.6m lb/yr) to 4,800t/yr (10.6m lb/yr) copper cathode capacity. Photographs of the development of the Berta site will be posted on the Coro website as available.
As quoted in the press release:

Alan Stephens, President and CEO of Coro commented, “We are pleased that the build out of the SCM Berta facilities is proceeding apace and look forward to ramping up production in a positive copper price environment.”
