Drilling Commences at New Lourdes-Condori Copper Zones at Los Chapitos, Peru
Drilling Commences at New Lourdes-Condori Copper Zones
at Los Chapitos, Peru
Vancouver, May 26, 2022 – Camino Corp. (TSXV: COR) (OTC: CAMZF) (WKN: A116E1) (“ Camino” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that core drilling has commenced at the newly permitted Lourdes-
Condori zones at its Los Chapitos copper project near the coastal town of Chala in Arequipa Department,
Peru (“Los Chapitos”). Near-surface high -grade copper drill targets at Lourdes -Condori a re located in
permitted areas that have never been drilled. The Company is targeting bulk -scale manto-style copper
mineralization to potentially support resource delineation studies at other known copper zones at Los
Chapitos.
Chief Geologist Jose Bassa n said, “ copper oxides have been exposed intermittently along a 175-metre
road cut that leads to our first drill target at the Lourdes zone. The exposed mineralization appears to be
similar to that of our Adriana zone.”
A video explaining the recent copper mineralization exposed in road cuts can be viewed in Video 2 of
Exploration Series.
“The very few new copper discoveries made globally over the past ten years have mostly been made at
older, known deposits and existing mines,” said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino. “We are stepping out
and drilling new greenfield copper targets that, if successful, would be positive for the copper market as
a whole, and for Camino shareholders.”
Newly opened access road cuts to the proposed drilling target at Lourdes show evidence of copper
oxidation along structures and in volcanic vesicles in Breccia and Chocolate Formation volcanics (see
Figure 1). The proposed Lourdes drilling area is located approximately 1.4 km north of the Adriana zone ,
a zone that has demonstrated continuous copper mineralization over significant intercepts (see Video 1
of Exploration Series). Additional road construction is underway to provide access to two other copper
target areas at Condori and Gallinazo (see Figure 2).
