Camino Geophysics Survey Targets Known High-grade Copper and Gold Mineralization at the Northern Extension of Los Chapitos

Camino Corp. (TSXV:COR) (OTC PINK:CAMZF) (WKN:A116E1) ('Camino' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the commencement of a geophysics campaign at its Los Chapitos copper project consisting of 258 line km of Magnetic Vector Inversion Modelling ('Magnetic Survey' or the 'Survey'). The Survey is targeting locations of previously reported sampling of artisanal workings (see news release April 13, 2021) that returned up to 5.12% copper (Cu) and 9.33 gt gold (Au), with the vein samples measuring 0.3 to 0.6 metres (m). This area, known as Lidia, is a large 3 km by 4 km area that is geochemically anomalous for high-grade copper and gold, with 238 samples taken in 201819 averaging 0.78 % Cu, and up to 23% Cu and 11 gt Au. The Survey is wide ranging and will also cover the large alterations zones at the Lourdes and Condori areas, with extensions to the Lagunillas fault and Diva West. The Magnetic Survey will help Camino identify subsurface structure and, potentially, the continuity and dissemination of copper and gold mineralization at depth

'Our geophysics campaign is aimed at extending mineralization 4 to 5 km to the north of previously drilled areas. We will be surveying zones of high-grade copper and gold sampled in artisanal workings, and also areas with massive alteration zones. The massive alteration zones are co-incident with oxidized copper outcrops, so could provide the fluid mechanism for significantly more disseminated copper mineralization,' said Jay Chmelauskas, Camino's CEO. 'The Magnetic Survey and results will be completed in July to guide the drilling campaign at Los Chapitos that will start in August.'

Camino's Chief Geologist Jose Bassan said, 'our geological modelling includes lithology and alteration zonation and cross cutting features that is focused on developing a predictive discovery model to apply across our extensive Los Chapitos copper property. The geophysical study covers new areas of copper mineralization, beyond our current drilling, and complements the geological models being developed by Camino's geological team.'

The work carried out by Arce Geophysics in 2016-2018 in the Adriana zone showed a spatial correlation between the high magnetic anomalies and the mineralized intercepts of the Adriana and Carlota bodies. The magnetometric anomalies show the lineament of the Diva trend copper oxide mineralization and its relationship with some of the intrusive dioritic and monzonitic lithologies. Anomalies are shown next to previous successful drilling at Adriana with copper mineralization up to 300 m depth (see news release January 19, 2021) and towards the south at Maria and Pilar.

The hatched area shown in Figure 2 is the location of the Magnetic Survey underway that covers the Lourdes-Condori-Lidia areas and other areas. The ground magnetometry will trend SW-NE profiles with 100 metre line spacing that will include 69 profiles with a total of 257.8 line km. The method used will be Magnetization Vector Inversion (MVI) modelling that has previously shown good correlation with magnetic bodies to reveal structures and responses of magnetic changes at depth. The lines will have a 100 metre overlap with the previous magnetometry surveys conducted in 2016-2018. The data will be levelled and re-modelled to unify results from all surveys in this trend from 2016-2018 with the new results from 2021. Magnetization Vector Inversion (MVI) is a 3D inversion technique that inverts for both amplitude and direction of the magnetization and produces more geologically reasonable results in areas with complex magnetic features.

British Columbia Creates New Ministries for Energy and Mining

British Columbia (BC) has introduced two new ministries designed to focus on advancing its goals for clean energy and critical mineral development.

Premier David Eby announced on November 18 the restructuring of the former Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation, which will now be split into the Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions and the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals.

The changes reflect the province's commitment to addressing climate change and seizing opportunities in critical mineral production to support the global energy transition.

Québec's Copper Resource Offers New Opportunities for Investment

As the global journey toward electrification and decarbonization continues to ramp up, Canada’s role as a geopolitically stable source of the key minerals enabling this transition is increasingly evident, driving the need for the development of new and sustainable copper supply across the country.

In 2022, Canadian mine production accounted for approximately 2.4 percent of the global total, which stood at around 22 million metric tons. BC currently leads the nation in copper production, followed by Ontario, which produced approximately 159,432 metric tons of copper in 2022.

Québec, Canada's second largest province, is emerging as a significant player in the global copper industry. With its rich geological formations and strategic location, Québec offers substantial opportunities for copper exploration and mining.
