VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 7, 2010) - Coro Mining Corp. ("Coro" or the "Company") (TSX:COP) is pleased to announce the Company has paid US$2 million to Lumina Copper Corp. ("Lumina") under the terms of the San Jorge purchase agreement.

San Jorge:

The San Jorge copper-gold project is located in Mendoza, Argentina. The Company completed an initial Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), in April 2008 which contemplated production of 39,500 tonnes of copper per annum and 39,000 ounces of gold per annum over a 16 year mine life. The deposit remains open to the west and at depth and using a $2.00 per pound copper and $600 per ounce gold price returned an after tax NPV of $220 million, with a capital expenditure of $277 million.

Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company has paid a total of US$3,500,000 in cash and issued a total of 1,000,000 shares and has the following payments outstanding; US$4,000,000 in May 2011, US$5,000,000 in May 2012, and US$5,000,000 in May 2013, less the aggregate deemed value of the 1,000,000 common shares of Coro previously issued. If, after May 10, 2011, the Company completes a Bankable Feasibility Study on either the Heap Leachable Copper Resources or the Sulphide Copper Resources, or a combination of both, the Company shall pay the balance of any amounts owing within six months from the date of completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study.

US$16,000,000 of the cash payments will be treated as an advance payment on either: (a) the obligation to pay $0.02 per pound on the mineable proven and probable copper sulphide reserves upon commencement of commercial production or (b) the obligation to pay $0.025 per pound on the mineable proven and probable heap leachable copper reserves upon commencement of commercial production. For any production of copper in excess of that derived from the total mineable, proven and probable heap leachable reserves and the mineable, proven and probable sulphide reserves the Company agreed to pay (i) $0.015 per pound of copper contained in ore processed by a mill, in excess of the total pounds of copper contained in the mineable, proven and probable sulphide reserves and (ii) $0.02 per pound of copper contained in ore placed on leach pads, in excess of the total pounds of copper contained in the mineable, proven and probable heap leachable reserves.

In addition, Coro will pay a net smelter return production royalty of 1.5% on all non-copper production from San Jorge.
