Camino Corp. announce that it has received the first phase of its Start-of-Activities authorizations from the General Directorate of Mining of the Ministry of Energy and Mines to begin earth moving activities at the Company's Los Chapitos copper project in Peru. This authorization coincides with the Environmental Impact Study expansion that was received in June, 2023 that allows the Company to explore over an area of 6,012 hectares.

The first phase covers approximately half of the EIA area; it is expected that the second phase will receive authorization in several months once a cultural review has been completed. The permit will enable Camino to commence road construction and preparations for its next exploration drilling campaign. Recent geological field work has identified new drilling targets over broad zones of potential mineralization to the south of Camino's main Adriana zone, and also to the north at the Lourdes Zone.

Lourdes is a new copper discovery made in 2022 with broad intercepts of oxidized copper mineralization including 55 m at 0.93% Cu from surface. The target zones are modelled around new interpretations and fault controls similar to geological features found in the copper-rich Candelaria district of Chile, where partner Nittetsu Mining Co. Ltd. operates the Atacama Kozan mine.

Drilling will target near-surface oxidized copper and will likely commence as early as December 2023.
