Nittetsu Mining funds Camino’s copper project with $1.5M payment

VANCOUVER - Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF) has received a CAD$1.5 million payment from Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. This payment is part of an earn-in agreement for the Los Chapitos Copper Project in Peru, which allows Nittetsu to acquire a 35% interest in the project by investing CAD$10 million over three years. To date, Nittetsu has contributed CAD$8.5 million.

The payment will fund an exploration and drilling campaign scheduled from June 1, 2025, to November 30, 2025. The campaign, approved by the Camino - Nittetsu Joint Technical Committee, will focus on high-priority targets such as the Katty prospect and the newly identified Sombrero Blanco target. Historical drilling at Los Chapitos has revealed high-grade copper at depth, including a notable intercept of 4.5m @ 5.01% Cu from 245.5 m in drillhole DCH-012.

The company has also engaged in a community participation workshop on May 23 as part of the permitting process for an amendment to the Environmental Impact Assessment for Los Chapitos. This initiative involved local authorities and residents, emphasizing Camino’s commitment to public participation.
