Camino's Mapping and Geophysics Program Identifies Major Deep-Seated Fault at Los Chapitos Copper Project in Peru - Seite 2

For the current drilling campaign planned to commence as early as December, 2023, Camino is conducting 1:1,000 scale geological mapping in targeted prospective zones along the main Diva Trend to determine locations for drill holes.

Felix Cornelio, Chief Geologist at Camino stated, "While the planned winter drilling campaign will continue to target near-surface copper oxides, we will also consider copper sulfide targets at depth, providing additional opportunities for larger discoveries. The discovery of the La Estancia fault has provided us with the opportunity to evaluate a new structural corridor extending more than 12 kilometers through the center of Los Chapitos, in addition to the Diva and Atajo trends."

Camino used unmanned aircraft and magnetometers equipped with georeferencing systems and other navigation instruments to perform the magnetic surveys. Aero-magnetometry is a relatively new technique that provides for automated missions, flying at low altitudes and covering large distances in a short time for increased efficiency and high precision accuracy.

The recent geophysical survey detected a main magnetic body following a Northwest-Southeast trend. This continuous magnetic susceptibility observed along the Atajo Trend, suggests possible magnetite enrichment, with anomalies likely associated with ultramafic rocks with stratigraphic control and/or replacement by secondary magnetic mineralization. A second important anomaly is related to the deep-seated La Estancia Fault (Figure 2) following the same Northwest trend.
