Camino reports high-grade copper in new zone at Los Chapitos

VANCOUVER - Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV:COR) announced Wednesday high-grade copper trench results from its Los Chapitos project in Peru, with samples showing 90 meters at 1.07% copper including sections with up to 3.05% copper in the newly identified Mirador zone.

The company reported the mineralization could represent a northwestern extension of the Adriana zone, where over 20,000 meters of drilling has been completed. The new copper findings are located along the Diva trend, showing both oxide and primary copper mineralization within intrusive rocks.

Notable results from channel sampling include 4 meters at 3.05% copper and 86.55 ppm silver, 7 meters at 2.05% copper, and several other high-grade sections within the 90-meter trench.

According to the company’s statement, the discovery reinforces the view that previously announced drill holes at Adriana are part of a structurally connected system along several mineralized corridors including the Diva, La Estancia, and Atajo trends.

Camino is conducting additional sampling and ground preparation work ahead of a planned drilling campaign expected to begin in September 2025.

The company also announced the appointment of Shawn Turkington as Chief Financial Officer effective August 1, 2025, replacing David Baker. Turkington brings experience in financial reporting and corporate finance with background in Latin America.

Los Chapitos is Camino’s second copper project with partner Nittetsu Mining Co., which can earn a 35% interest upon completing a CDN$10 million investment. The company noted that Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) recently staked claims adjacent to the project.
