Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2020) -
Camino Corp.
(TSXV: COR) (OTC
PINK: CAMZF) (WKN: A116E1) ("
Camino
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that Camino
has received authorization from the Ministry of Energy and Mines to start drilling and other exploration
activities at its Los Chapitos project.
Next week, Camino's Peruvian based geological team will begin
mapping, sampling and refining targets for the planned drilling program in September.
Additionally,
Camino has received final authorization from the General Directorate of Mining (DGM) of the Ministry of
Energy and Mines, which authorizes the company to start the activities defined in its Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) that has been approved by the General Direction of Mining Environmental
Affairs (DGAAM).
The approval will allow Camino to test copper mineralization and develop drilling
platforms along an approximate 5 km mineralized trend. Camino has also submitted and received
approval by the Ministry of Health, its Covid-19 Surveillance, Prevention and Control Plan as required to
restart.
The Company expects to have up to ten personnel at the project in July and August and has
modified its travel, work and accommodation procedures to implement its COVID-19 operating policy.
"I believe that we are one of the first junior exploration companies to commence exploration activities in
Peru since the onset of COVID-19 restrictions.
With our Peruvian based team, we will proceed in a
cautious and measured way following our COVID-19 policies to continue our copper discovery efforts at
Los Chapitos in a safe manner," said Jay Chmelauskas, President & CEO. "Our geologists will be
mapping drill targets, particularly new copper mineralization identified along trend to the south of the
maiden drill program in 2017/18 to drill this September. Our vision is to expand the known areas of
copper mineralization, target new areas of mineralization, and begin to determine the size of the copper
system at Los Chapitos."

"In addition to the testing the extension of known mineralization discovered in the 2017/18 drill
campaign, detailed geological analysis and interpretation has identified another 4 areas of
disseminated, potential manto mineralization within our 900 Hectare EIA permit.
One of the main goals
of this current field program is to prioritize these untested targets," said Owen Miller, the Company's
Exploration Manager in Peru.
