[{"type":"text","content":"Camino Announces Exploration Results at Los Chapitos and Further Exploration Plans in PeruVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2025 / Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF) (WKN: A116E1) (\"Camino\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce exploration results at its Copper-Silver stratabound Los Chapitos copper project (\"Los Chapitos\" or the \"Project\"), including drilling and additional mapping, trenching, and sampling along both the La Estancia and Diva copper mineralized trends. The Company is targeting large-scale disseminated manto-type copper-silver mineralization to support resource delineation studies at Los Chapitos. Camino and its partner Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. (\"Nittetsu\") plan to commence the next phase of drilling in the second half of 2025. The Los Chapitos copper project is located near the coastal city of Chala in the department of Arequipa in Peru.Juan Carlos Castelli, Consulting Geologist from Chile, said \"the Los Chapitos property is inside the northern continuation of the metallogenic Cu-Ag belt defined in Northern Chile, with operating mines such as Michilla, Las Luces, and others. We are working with Camino and Nittetsu on an aggressive exploration program, led by geological mapping and sections interpretations, geochemistry and magnetometry focused to drill the best target areas to increase the known resources in order to make a new economic copper discovery\", (Figure 1).Yoshikazu Fujimoto, Senior Geologist at Nittetsu, stated that \"the geological work that we are completing at Los Chapitos is an effort to focus our exploration taskforce on bulk mineralized targets and to screen a very large land position of over 220 square kilometers that has many copper-mineralized showings.\"\"To make new copper discoveries, we've got to step out and continue to drill untested prospects. The geology at Los Chapitos indicates tremendous prospectivity and notably, Rio Tinto has staked ground adjacent to our claims, so we've got to put the drill where the bulk copper potential exists and keep drilling. We plan to continue drilling in the second half of 2025 at new discovery targets\" said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino. \"Camino is pursuing two value creation fronts, developing our permitted Puquios copper mine in Chile, and continuing to exploration drill for new copper discoveries in Peru...
