This news release reports the results from eight drill holes completed along the Diva trend corridor, where drilling activities focused on several targets with the objective of expanding the known mineralized body and improving the understanding of the scale and continuity of the mineralized system. Los Chapitos is Camino's second copper project with partner Nittetsu Mining Co, Ltd. (\"Nittetsu\"), who is completing a 35% earn-in interest in Los Chapitos after investing CAD $10 million and after the completion of Phase 2 of the current drilling campaign (see news release dated June 14, 2023). Camino is also advancing its Puquios Copper Project in Chile with Nittetsu Mining towards mine construction and development (see news release dated April 17, 2025). Key highlights of recent Los Chapitos drill holes:Mirador: DCH-123:8.7 m @ 0.45% Cu & 8.65 g/t Ag, including5.7 m @ 0.62% Cu & 11.77 g/t AgAdriana: DCH-124:17.6 m @ 0.85% Cu & 2.48 g/t Ag, including5.4 m @ 1.64% Cu & 4.51 g/t AgDCH-125:83.5 m @ 0.94% Cu & 10.40 g/t Ag, including7.1 m @ 2.13% Cu & 34.36 g/t Ag13.6 m @ 1.13% Cu & 15.13 g/t Ag6.2 m @ 1.34% Cu & 14.10 g/t Ag14.7 m @ 0.98% Cu & 6.35 g/t AgLourdes: DCH-129:63.3 m @ 0.62% Cu & 1.62 g/t Ag, including3 m @ 2.12% Cu & 0.80 g/t Ag8.5 m @ 1.12% Cu & 4.28 g/t Ag4.3 m @ 1.09 Cu & 3.99 g/t AgEnjambre: DCH-126:17.8 m @ 0.20% Cu & 2.55 g/t Ag, including3 m @ 0.31% Cu & 4.70 g/t Ag2.3 m @ 0.46% Cu & 4.44 g/t Ag7 m @ 0.23% Cu & 1.94 g/t Ag\"The Los Chapitos project is interpreted to belong to the northwest extension of the upper Jurassic metallogenic belt defined in Chile, which hosts porphyry copper deposits (\"PCD\"), iron-oxide-apatite deposits (\"IOA\"), copper-silver deposits (\"Cu-Ag\"), iron-oxide-copper-gold deposits (\"IOCG\") and epithermal systems.
