Coro Mining Corp. ("Coro" or the "Company") (TSX:COP) is pleased to announce
that its subsidiary, Minera Coro Chile Ltda. ("MCC") signed on October 4, 2013
an agreement with Minera Aurex (Chile) Limitada ("Aurex"), an indirect
subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. ("Freeport"), whereby Aurex
may exercise an option to acquire an interest in the Payen property. The
property is located approximately 90km NNE of La Serena, 4km W of the
Panamerican Highway and approximately 47km from the coast, in the III Region of
Chile, at an elevation of 1,100m (Figure 1). 


Alan Stephens, President and CEO of Coro commented, "Payen has the potential to
host a major copper-gold porphyry deposit, and we look forward to seeing the
results of the Aurex exploration program over the coming years. Coro remains
focussed on advancing its Berta heap leach copper project to production, in
conjunction with its partner, ProPipe S.A., and in further exploring its
exciting El Desesperado porphyry copper project, located in the Chuquicamata
district."


About Payen 

The large NE-SW oriented Pajonales alteration zone is located in the same 90-110
million year old belt of porphyry copper-gold deposits as Teck's Andacollo mine,
Cemin's Dos Amigos mine, PanAust's Inca de Oro & Carmen projects and Hot Chili's
Frontera project, which is located some 2.5km SE of the Payen property boundary.



The Payen property is located in the Pajonales alteration zone, where it is at
its widest, and where the alteration appears most intense. The northern end of
the property is transected by a NW fault which has uplifted to the north and
exposed a potassically altered and quartz stockworked diorite porphyry with
associated copper-gold mineralization. This has been subjected to reverse
circulation drilling carried out by the property owner in 2009, and diamond
drilling completed by a private Chilean company in 2011-2012. Results of this
drilling were summarized in the Company's news release of October 17th 2012. 


This mineralization is associated with a magnetic high anomaly, and Coro's
exploration has shown that several other similar mag highs are present on the
property, coinciding with outcropping mineralized diorite porphyry stocks. Much
of the remainder of the property hosts extensive phyllic alteration with
outcropping leached cap, quartz stockworking, remnant copper oxides, and
associated magnetic low and copper geochemical anomalies. High sulphidation
alteration, including phreatomagmatic breccias and silicified ledges with
anomalous gold, indicative of a remnant lithocap are exposed at the highest
elevations. Previous geochemical sampling has indicated the presence of strongly
anomalous copper associated with certain areas of the phyllic alteration, which
Coro believes have good potential to host chalcocite enrichment.

About Coro Mining Corp.: 

The Company was founded with the goal of building a mining company focused on

intends to achieve this through the exploration for, and acquisition of,
projects that can be developed and placed into production. Coro's properties
include the Berta, Payen, El Desesperado, Llancahue, and Celeste copper
exploration properties located in Chile, and the advanced San Jorge copper-gold
project, in Argentina. Earlier this year, Coro sold its Chacay property to a
subsidiary of Teck for US$2,500,000 in cash plus a 1.5%NSR.
