16 Chacay Cu Project; Overview A 100% owned property subject to 2% NPI 2km SE of Teck Resources Relincho Property. Prior drilling conducted d by BHP and Anglo American (assays unavailable) and First Quantum Minerals (FQM) FQM completed mapping, sampling & 7 shallow RC holes in FQM holes intersected mineralization, including 0.45%CuT & 0.53%CuT. FQM / Coro holes indicate very good copper solubility. Coro completed a two phased 9-hole (2,028m) drill program in Dec 2009 and Mar 2010 with significant intercepts of a secondary chalcocite enrichment blanket. The Nacho Zone, occupies an area of approximately 900m x 850m with chalcocite enrichment blanket between 20m and 100m thick. 16
