Surface Sampling Results Define Follow-Up Manto Targets on Los Chapitos Property
Surface Sampling Results Define Follow-Up Manto
Targets on Los Chapitos Property
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2020) - Camino Corp.
(TSXV: COR) (OTC PINK: CAMZF) (WKN:
A116E1) ("
Camino
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the results of the compilation and analysis of the extensive
surface sampling database on its Los Chapitos copper discovery located in Southern Peru.
The Company collected a total of 2,022 surface samples on the property between June 2016 and June 2019 with values up to
34% Cu. Although many of these samples are individual chip samples, 1,051, a significant number are continuous channel-chip
or trench samples, 971 or 48% of the entire surface sample database.
"Our compilation and new analysis of continuous channel-chip trench samples demonstrate broad manto style mineralization,"
said Jay Chmelauskas, President & CEO. "These surface copper intercepts extend known copper mineralization across the
property and provide over a dozen new manto targets to drill and test for the potential to aggregate resources.
Our vision at Los
Chapitos is to develop a resource base of soluble copper mineralization that would likely consist of multiple mantos to support a
first phase copper leaching SXEW mine."
Many of these channel-chip/trench samples are strongly anomalous or mineralized as shown in Table 1 and define broad zones
of disseminated mineralization.

Table 1. Mineralized Channel Chip/Trench Samples
Sampling at Adriana provides one of the better examples of broad mineralization near a copper mineralized outcrop, as can be
seen in Figure 1.

The mineralized intervals are:
Adriana Line 0 - 41.5m @ 0.78% Cu
Adriana Line 1 - 68m @ 1.27% Cu
Adriana Line 2 - 4 segments totalling 86m @ 0.65% Cu over a total distance of 140m
"These broad zones of mineralization clearly reflect the surface expression of manto mineralization at depth as defined by our
drill campaign in 2017-2018" said Camino's Lima based Exploration Manager, Dr. Owen Miller.
"However, many of the
mineralized copper manto intersections drilled to date at the Adriana zone, show no surface expression and are 'blind' targets
controlled by lithological structure."

Adriana is not however the only zone of disseminated mineralization, with another 12 areas of anomalous channel chip sampling
on the property as shown in Figure 2.
For example, Lourdes, is located some 1.5km North-West of the main Adriana Zone.
Although sampling is not as extensive, values are comparable with those at Adriana and clearly demonstrate more disseminated
manto style mineralization.
There are two lines of channel chip sampling separated by about 120m and delineate the North West and South East corners of
a 100
x 100m area.
The grades are:
Lourdes Line 1 - 32 m @ 0.72% Cu
Lourdes Line 2 - 13m @ 1.16% Cu
Within this area there are also another 22 individual chip samples with grades up to 3.07% Cu.
Lourdes will be just one of over a dozen identified areas for follow-up when work restarts in Peru, expected in July or August.
The
Company will be undertaking a multi-disciplinary approach to exploration on the property including hyperspectral imaging to
determine the location of major fault structures that may control large scale copper mineralization, magneto-telluric geophysics
designed to look below current drilling from approximately 300 metres to 1000 metres depth, and geological mapping and
sampling on newly identified target areas to connect our geological interpretations with copper mineralization results.
Camino Corp. is developing its Covid-19 Surveillance, Prevention and Control Plan with the intent to commence exploration
activities at Los Chapitos, while maintaining a safe working environment for its staff and contractors, and minimizing impact and
interaction with the supporting town of Chala and the local community.

available to the Company. Forward-looking information in the release includes the prospectivity of the project for future
exploration,
defining new mantos,
development of an SXEW mine, and drilling planned on the Los Chapitos copper project
