September 1st 2015, Marimaca Copper Corp. (“Coro” or the “Company”) (TSX Symbol: COP) reports that the Company was unable to provide a new or amended technical report within the 10 day period indicated in our August 19th 2015 news release, and as such the Berta project mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment are not supported by a compliant NI 43-101 technical report. They should not be relied on until independently verified and supported by a new or amended technical report which the Company is working expeditiously to provide.

About Coro

Coro’s strategy is to grow a mining business through the discovery, development and operation of “Marimaca Coppertype” deposits. These are defined as projects at whatever stage of development, that are well located with respect to infrastructure and water, which have low permitting risk, and which have the potential to achieve a short and cost effective timeline to production. Our preference is for open pit heap leach copper projects, where we will seek to minimise capital investment rather than maximise NPV, where we will prioritise profitability over production rate, and finally, where the likely capital cost is financeable relative to our market capitalization. Partners will be sought for any attractive projects identified that we do not have the financial capacity to develop alone. Coro’s principal assets are the Berta project, the Planta Prat copper development project and the Marimaca copper exploration prospect, all located in Chile.
