VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Coro Mining Corp. ("Coro" or the "Company") (TSX: COP) announces that Mr.
Marcelo Cortes, the current Project Manager for San Jorge, will assume
the responsibilities of Mr. Juan Carlos Roman, VP of Development, who has
resigned effective July 31st 2009, in order to take up a senior
management position with a major mining company in Chile. Mr. Cortes is a
Chilean civil engineer with an MBA with specialization in Environmental
Management, from Liverpool University, in the UK and has 19 years of
experience in the mining industry. He was previously Manager
Infrastructure for Antofagasta Minerals.
The Company also announces that Mr. Fabian Gregorio has been appointed
President of Minera San Jorge (MSJ), its Argentinean subsidiary. Mr.
Gregorio is an Argentinean lawyer, based in Mendoza, and has been working
as a consultant to the Company for the past three years, responsible for
government relations. The Mendoza based Minera San Jorge team includes
Julio Cesar Ortiz, an Argentinean lawyer responsible for administration
and public communication; Pablo Alonso, an Argentinean environmental
engineer, responsible for all environmental aspects and community
relationships; and Alejandro Palma, an Argentinean geologist, responsible
for project geology.
MSJ has adopted a policy of complete transparency and frankness, has
stressed the economic and employment benefits of the project to
Argentina, as well as a commitment to exacting industry standards in
environmental management, and has invited citizen participation in the
environmental monitoring of the operation. The Company has demonstrated
its commitment to water conservation through the proposed use of paste
tailings, which minimizes water usage through recycling, and have
committed to train as many local residents as possible for employment in
any future operation at San Jorge.
Alan Stephens, President and CEO, commented, "The appointment of Mr.
Fabian Gregorio as President of MSJ further enhances our Argentinean
based team and provides us with a greater presence in Mendoza as the
project advances. We are confident that the team lead by Marcelo and
Fabian will continue to carry the project forward expeditiously and
efficiently and look forward to the outcome of the Environmental Impact
Study (EIS) approval process over the coming months. This process has
several steps, the first of which is a technical evaluation of the Study
by the National Technical University on behalf of the government, which
is expected to be finalized shortly. This is followed by a ministerial
project review, and public meetings, and if the EIS is then approved by
the Mendoza government, ratification by the provincial legislature
shortly thereafter. A formal public consultation process has commenced,
and the Company has opened an office in Uspallata, the nearest town to
the project site, to enhance our communications and strengthen our
relationship with the local community. Finally, I would like to thank
Juan Carlos for all his hard work over the last three years, which has
helped to bring San Jorge to the point where the approval process for the
EIS is so well advanced, and we wish him well in his new position."
