(TSXV: COR) (OTC Pink: CAMZF) (WKN: A116E1) (\"Camino\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that drilling has started on its Los Chapitos copper project located in Southern Peru's Arequipa Department.Diamond Drillhole DCH-066 collared on the 2nd of October is the first drill hole of a planned 3,000 meter program that adds to the 19,161 meters already drilled on the project in 2017 and 2018. The hole is designed to test near surface oxide mineralization on the Carlotta target (See attached picture) and deep high-grade sulphide mineralization on the Diva Fault.\"Our first drill hole at the Carlotta outcrop, is located 400 m south of the discovery made at the Adriana outcrop in 2017. The two outcrops look similar and show oxidized copper hosted in Chocolate Formation volcanics,\" said Jay Chmelauskas, President & CEO of Camino. \"We will also be testing a potential new discovery at Diva West, an area of undrilled copper mineralization, hosted in the same Chocolate Formation and located several hundreds of meters to the west of the main mineralized Diva Structure. We are working towards expanding mineralization to define a maiden resource on and along the Diva structure, and at the same time begin to determine the potential size of the Los Chapitos IOCG system.\" \"At Chapitos we have been actively incorporating new geochemical and mapping information into our models to improve our understanding of the geology,\" said Owen Miller, the Company's Exploration Manager in Peru. \"The current drill campaign reflects this work and new target areas have been highlighted at Diva West that may redefine our geological interpretation for the whole Los Chapitos Project.\"Figure 1: Planned drillholes, previous drilling and alteration (Previous drilling see NI 43-101 Report April 3, 2018)To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/1384/65305_d68b887fa46c7abe_001full.jpgAdriana Infill - previous drilling focused on the Adriana Zone as can be seen in Figure 1. Mineralization can be roughly grouped into a) shallow oxide mantos and b) deeper high grade sulphide mineralization associated with the Diva Fault.There is considerable upside to extend and connec...
