“ESG is an integral aspect of the mining industry, as responsible project exploration and
development brings benefits to all stakeholders. In addition, we believe that our ESG initiatives help
support our business development activities to grow our copper platform through copper
exploration and the continued pursuit of new partners and projects,” said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of
Camino Corp. “We are proud to have received an improved score for our Los Chapitos copper
project of “BBB” for 2022 from “BB” in 2021, and established a baseline for our Maria Cecilia copper
porphyry acquired in 2021. With Digbee’s independent evaluation and resulting recommendations,
we can continue to improve our ESG practices as we develop our copper projects.”

community at the Maria Cecilia Project, Ancash Peru, January 2023.
In 2021, Camino was one of the first mining companies participating in Digbee’s inaugural reporting
cycle. Camino continues to demonstrate its commitment to its efforts in ESG implementation
through transparent and annual reporting . The Digbee platform enables mining companies to
evaluate positive initiatives and provides a standardized framework on which to build and improve
ESG practices.
Jamie Strauss, CEO of Digbee commented, “Camino was an early adopter of the Digbee reporting
platform. Camino’s management has demonstrated that it recognizes the value a strong ESG
strategy has for external observers, as well as its value in creating a corporate culture that improves
the business to benefit employees and stakeholders. We are pleased that Camino joined the Digbee
initiative, as we believe it is setting a positive example for the junior mining sector.”
