(CRD - TSX Venture, CRDAF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), has signed a contract for the sale of its copper to a New York based metals dealer for shipment off shore. Coronado will receive payment for 95% of the contained copper subject to a deduction of 2.5 units (2.5% or 55.1 lbs per metric ton) as well as a $0.16 per payable pound. These are for smelting and refining charges with an additional $360.00 per dry short ton being charged for shipping. This will enable the company to aggressively increase production. The mining contractor has been requested to increase his work force as soon as possible.
