VANCOUVER - Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF) has reported promising exploration results from its Los Chapitos copper project in Peru, indicating potential for new copper-silver discoveries. The company, alongside its partner Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd., has completed a drilling campaign at the Pampero prospect and plans further exploration in the second half of 2025.
The recent drilling of 996.7 meters at Pampero is part of an extensive exploration program aimed at delineating large-scale copper-silver mineralization. Notable results include drill hole DCH-118, which showed copper grades up to 0.5% and silver 3.15 ppm at a depth of 157.6 meters. Surface rock chip sampling at Pampero also revealed high copper grades, with some samples showing up to 3.8% copper and 4.0 ppm silver.
Camino’s exploration strategy focuses on the La Estancia fault, a 12-kilometer trend with several copper-mineralized showings. Additional work along the established Diva Trend aims to generate new drilling targets at prospects with significant previous copper intercepts. The company’s efforts include geological mapping, geochemistry, and magnetometry to identify the best target areas.
The Los Chapitos project, located near Chala in the Arequipa department, benefits from proximity to the metallogenic Cu-Ag belt in Northern Chile, which hosts operating mines such as Michilla and Las Luces. The region’s geology suggests a high prospectivity for copper discoveries, a sentiment echoed by Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino, who emphasized the importance of continued drilling to uncover new prospects.
Camino is pursuing a dual strategy of developing its permitted Puquios copper mine in Chile and aggressively exploring for new copper deposits in Peru. The company’s exploration efforts are supported by the increased Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) permitted areas, allowing them to test new prospective regions.
The information in this article is based on a press release statement from Camino Minerals Corporation. The company’s continued exploration activities in Peru represent its commitment to finding and developing new copper resources as demand for the metal grows in an increasingly electrified global economy.
