Camino Commences Mapping and Drone Geophysics Survey with Nittetsu at the Los Chapitos Project, Peru

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2023 / Camino Corp. (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF)(WKN:A116E1) ("Camino" or the "Company"), together with its project partner Nittetsu Mining Co. Ltd ("Nittetsu"), is pleased to announce that its mapping campaign and drone geophysics survey is underway at the Los Chapitos copper project ("Los Chapitos" or the "Project"). The campaign will focus on copper mineralized structures next to porous geological strata that could host bulk manto-style copper mineralization for follow up exploration drilling. The exploration methodology follows the same geology and geometry of other manto discoveries at Los Chapitos, such as Adriana, Lourdes, and Atajo, to add additional mineral inventory to the Los Chapitos project.

Highlights:

• Geological mapping at a scale of 1:25000 covering 20,445 hectares, emphasizing the understanding of structural geology.
• Topographic survey covering 15,681 hectares.
• Drone magnetic geophysical survey covering 5,595 hectares.

"There are many copper outcrop occurrences over the Los Chapitos property, and we have had success at drilling bulk tonnage copper mantos at several copper outcrops such as Adriana and Lourdes", said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino. "With new geophysics surveys and geology mapping we plan to be more targeted with copper outcrop drilling, and to extend our exploration targets to potential buried copper manto layers. Our overall goal is to add more copper mineralized inventory in the form of additional copper mantos at Los Chapitos."

Felix Cornelio, Chief Geologist at Camino stated: "Our 2023 exploration campaign is tapping the experience gained in modelling the copper mantos discovered at Adriana and Lourdes and applying that knowledge to find more copper mantos across the Project. Copper mineralization at Los Chapitos is controlled by geological faults. When a mineralized fault is in contact with a porous geological layer, a bulk tonnage strata-bound copper manto can form in the layer. Thus, we are identifying these geological conditions as targets for our next drilling campaign."
