CAMINO INTERSECTS 106 METERS AVERAGING 1.30% COPPER
AT LOS CHAPITOS PROJECT
Camino Minerals Corporation ("Camino" or the "Company") (COR: TSX-V) is pleased to
report results for the first two dri ll holes completed at its Los Chapitos P roject
(“Chapitos”), located in southern Peru . These first two holes have confirmed the down
dip extension of the Adriana Zone surface oxide mineralization , with one hole
intersecting a zone of high -grade sulphide m ineralization at depth. The Adriana Zone
is one of five known zones located along the northeastern trend of Chapitos.
Selected drill highlights from the first two drill holes at the Adriana Zone include:
• Hole CHR-002 intersected 1.30% copper over 106 meters (with the hole ending in
mineralization), including 2.12% copper over 38 meters; and
• Hole CHR-001 intersected 0.47% copper over 76 meters, including 0.67% copper
over 22 meters.
The initial drilling was completed using a r everse circulation (“RC”) drill and was
focused on testing the down dip extension of the Adriana surface mineralization as well
as testing magnetic and IP geophysical targets at depth. Both holes were successful in
intersecting the down dip extension of the surface mineralization, which was comprised
predominantly of copper oxides. Hole CHR -002 passed through a magnetite rich zone,
below which it encountered a 106 meter thick interval of high grade copper sulphide
mineralization composed mainly of bornite and chalcocite. The hole was stopped in
mineralization, with the last two meter sample assaying 0.86% copper. The projection of
this hole cut along the margin of a moderate IP chargeability anomaly that was defined
as part of the geophysical surveys completed by Camino in 2016. Hole CHR-001 was
stopped in the magnetite rich zone at 300 meters due to excessive hole deviation.
A further three RC drill holes (CHR-003, 004, and 005) have been completed as part of
the Phase 1 program. Assays will be released for these holes when availa ble. All of the
RC drilling experienced significant hole deviations, with drill cutting returns averaging
70%. As a result, the decision was made to contract a diamond drill to complete the rest
of the Phase 1 program, which is scheduled to begin work in early May. Additional
diamond drilling will be planned to test for extensions of the Adriana surface oxide
2
mineralization and deeper sulphide mineralization. Diamond drilling will also be used
to test the down dip extension of the surface oxide mineralization at the Katty Zone ,
located one kilometer southeast of Adriana.

(2)All samples were submitted for preparation and analysis by ALS Chemex at its facilities in Lima, Peru. All samples
were analyzed using multi-digestion with ICP finish and fire assay with AA finish for gold. Samples over 1%
copper were reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade ICP finish. Mineralized samples were
analyzed for acid soluble copper by being agitated at room temperature in a 5% sulphuric acid solution with the
copper content measured by AA. One in 20 samples was blank, one in 20 was a standard sample, and one in 20
samples had a sample cut from assay rejects assayed as a field duplicate at ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru. Reverse
circulation cuttings were collected for each 2 meter interval, split in a standard 3 tier Jones splitter producing two
1/8 splits; one sent for assay, and one retained for possible future analysis.

the Chapitos project.
