VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Jan. 22, 2015) - Camino Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:COR) ("Camino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition (see the Company's news release dated November 18, 2014) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Minquest Peru SAC ("Minquest"). Under the terms of the Agreement, Camino has acquired all of the shares of Minquest and as consideration Camino issued 5,000,000 shares of Camino, subject to a hold period which will expire on May 22, 2015.

Minquest has been conducting grassroots exploration in Peru for three years and owns the Plata Dorada high grade copper, gold, silver project, located in the department of Cuzco. More recently, Minquest has been actively seeking to acquire other high grade copper - gold - silver projects in the region. The ongoing exploration activities in Peru will continue to be managed by Ken Konkin and Jorge Arevalo, who together with Ken McNaughton and Joe Ovsenek were the founders of Minquest. Mr. McNaughton served as Vice President, Exploration of Silver Standard Resources Inc. for over 19 years, and in that role oversaw all exploration programs for Silver Standard, including those in Peru, and for Canplats Resources in Mexico. Following the completion of the transaction, Mr. McNaughton will be an advisor to Camino on its activities in Peru.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement (see the Company's news release dated November 18, 2014). The non-brokered private placement consisted of the sale of 5,650,000 common shares of the Company at $0.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $565,000 (the "Private Placement").

The issued shares will be subject to a four month hold period, which period will expire on May 22, 2015, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and the applicable securities commissions. Finder's fees of $16,620 have been paid on a portion of the Private Placement.

The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to advance the Plata Dorado property, and further the Company's exploration activities in Peru.
