    Coronet's ann, very similar to Latin Gold's comments on the renegotiation.

    On June 1, 2011, Coronet Metals Inc. ("Coronet") closed a non-brokered
    CDN$10.8 million private placement in conjunction with Coronet's US$14
    million acquisition of the Yanamina gold project ("Yanamina") in Ancash
    province, Peru. US$5.5 million of the proceeds from this financing were
    to be used for the initial payments to Latin Gold Limited ("Latin"), an
    Australian stock exchange listed company.

    Upon completion of the financing and in accordance with the share and
    asset purchase agreements ("Agreements") executed by Coronet and Latin,
    Coronet paid US$1.75 million cash and issued 3.3 million shares in
    Coronet common stock to Latin. A further US$3.75 million was being held
    by Coronet subject to Latin delivering a favourable Peruvian tax ruling
    on the structure of the purchase arrangement. As of August 9, 2011
    Coronet is in receipt of the necessary tax ruling.

    Coronet however, has since determined that there were issues with the
    level of support from the local community for the project as well as the
    approvals and permits necessary to move the Yanamina project towards
    production.

    These issues are expected to delay the commencement of the definition
    drilling program that was outlined in the NI 43-101 technical report on
    Yanamina prepared earlier this year on Coronet's behalf.

    Coronet is retaining the US$3.75 million, attempting to renegotiate the
    terms of the Agreements with Latin in the hope to reach a resolution to
    the mutual benefit of both companies.

    Consistent with its mandate to acquire other advanced-stage gold mining
    projects, Coronet has reviewed over 20 potential projects and concessions
    since closing the June 1, 2011 private placement. The Company is
    presently conducting due diligence and negotiations on three such
    advanced-stage projects that meet its acquisition criteria.

    Coronet's management team has extensive experience in moving advanced
    stage projects with existing resource bases through to production. The
    focus of the Peruvian search is for permitted gold and silver producing
    assets or near-permitted projects with existing resources, the prospect
    of near-term cash flow, and the potential to expand.
