Camino Minerals Corp (CAMZF) is a copper exploration company focused on advancing its Los Chapitos copper project in Peru through resource delineation and new discoveries. The company recently commenced road building and drilling at its Maria Cecilia copper porphyry project. With over 30,000 meters of historical drilling at adjacent projects, Maria Cecilia offers a significant opportunity for a new copper discovery. Camino aims to drill up to two 750-meter holes to intercept a substantial magnetic anomaly and discover ore-grade copper mineralization.
Camino has announced its inaugural drilling program at the Maria Cecilia copper porphyry project in Peru, starting June 1, 2024. This program aims to discover copper mineralization and estimate zonation for further drilling. Previous drilling at nearby Toropunto and Emmanuel revealed significant copper equivalent grades, indicating potential at Maria Cecilia. Camino plans to drill two 750-meter holes at Porphyry 1 and Porphyry 2 to target a large magnetic anomaly. Geological observations and recent assay results show promising copper oxide mineralization at surface levels. The project also includes newly identified Porphyry 3, which covers 0.4 by 1 km with notable copper mineralization features.
Camino has expanded its claims at the Los Chapitos copper project in Peru by an additional 1,700 hectares, following a land auction where it outbid competitors, including Rio Tinto. This increase brings the total area of Los Chapitos to 22,571 hectares. This marks Camino's second expansion in the past year. The new claims, identified as block 59 and block 54, are strategically located to connect existing claims and follow major fault structures. Rio Tinto also secured additional claims adjacent to Camino's property.
