Camino Reports Underground Workings Sampling 5.1% Cu, 7.9 g/t Au and 3.5 % Cu, 9.3 g/t Au at Los Chapitos

Camino Corp. (TSXV: COR) (OTC: CAMZF) (WKN: A116E1) ("Camino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new rock chip sample results from the extensive Lidia Zone copper-gold system at the northern end of the Diva Trend at its Los Chapitos copper project. Underground samples from artisanal workings 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) in width (Table 1). The Lidia Zone 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 veins are hosted within part of the volcanic sequence that forms the Chocolate Formation, which is the main host of Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits found along west coast of Peru. The samples are comprised of copper oxides, chrysocolla, covellite, malachite, specularite, hematite, and quartz (Photos 1 & 2). Significant siliceous alteration is associated with the Lidia Zone and can be traced along the main Diva Structure to the southeast, where it intersects with the robust copper mineralization at the Adriana Zone (see January 19, 2021 news release). Camino's 2021 exploration program will aim to determine whether the alteration at the Lidia Zone is part of a subsequent hydrothermal event and how it relates to the Los Chapitos IOCG system.

Jose Bassan, Chief Geologist at Camino, commented, "Hydrothermal veins and gold mineralization are commonly found at the top of an IOCG system. IOCG deposits can be formed by multiple hydrothermal events with different mineralizing fluid characteristics that are controlled by the same major structural feature, in our case, the Diva Trend. We have a large 3 km by 4 km area to add to our copper and gold exploration target at Los Chapitos."

Jay Chmelauskas, CEO at Camino stated, "The high-grade copper and gold results that we see at the Lidia Zone may be geologically significant because they are hosted in the same "Chocolate" volcanics that host the large copper deposits along the west coast of Peru. We will explore to determine whether there is a series of veins to bulk mine or whether the high-grade mineralization leads to a large disseminated copper manto ore body. This is another large mineralized area that is under-explored on our 220 sq km Los Chapitos land package."

Sampling & Geology

There is significant silicic alteration at the sample location that extends in a North-South direction with a shallow dip of 20 to 30 degrees to the Northeast. The mineralized veins are west-southwest of the siliceous body and in contact with the argillic and chalco-sodic alteration. The alteration is approximately 1 km in length and 200 metres wide. The same silicic alteration can be seen along the Diva Trend at mineralized malachite outcrops at Condori and also 4 km away at Olga, located next to the 2020 copper manto intercepts at Adriana. The pervasive silicification of the host rock has destroyed any of the primary volcanic textures. Further studies will focus on whether this siliceous alteration corresponds to a hydrothermal event subsequent to the diva trend mineralization or if it is part of the IOCG system to help guide future explorations of Los Chapitos.

At the location of underground workings at Lidia, four rock chip samples were taken across mineralization from two levels of a 15m deep vertical shaft. The workings have three levels spaced approximately every 5 meters and the samples were taken accordingly in level 1, 2, and at surface. The deeper level 3 was inaccessible. The three levels are parallel to the mineralization. The copper and gold mineralization has a North-South direction and near vertical dip with the levels extending approximately 10m, and the width of the mineralization between 0.3m to 0.6m as shown in Figure 2 and Table 1.

The geochemical analyses of the samples were labelled according to analysis batch "LI21063331" & ME-MS61 & Cu-OG62 & Au-AA23 and sent to ALS global based in Lima, Peru for analysis.
