Camino Minerals Corp said it has executed an agreement with AK Drilling International S.A., a Peru-based drilling company, to commence 1,500 metres of core drilling at its Los Chapitos copper project near the coastal town of Chala in Arequipa Department, Peru.
The company noted that mobilization to the site is scheduled for May 15, 2022. Exploration drilling at the new high-grade copper targets at the Lourdes-Condori Zones is in a newly permitted area that has not been previously drilled.
The Lourdes-Condori drill targets are centered around near-surface high-grade oxidized copper outcrops that are potential extensions of the structurally controlled mineralization reported at the Adriana and Carlotta zones along the 8 kilometre Diva fault trend.
