The Company has also terminated its option over the Salvadora prospect, located 19km southwest of Barreal Seco. Alan Stephens, President & CEO of Coro, said; "Our internal scoping evaluation of the Barreal Seco leach resources concluded that they were uneconomic as a stand alone operation at current copper and sulphuric acid prices, and attempts to renegotiate the terms of the underlying option agreement, which included significant cash payments to the owners, were unsuccessful."
