Camino Minerals provides update of activities and files drill permit application for Los Chapitos project

TSX Venture Symbol: COR

VANCOUVER, Nov. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - Camino Minerals Corp. ("Camino" or the "Company") (COR: TSX-V) is pleased to report on recent exploration activities at its Los Chapitos project ("Chapitos"), located in southern Peru, including filing of the environmental assessment in support of a drill permit application.

In the four months since signing the Chapitos option agreement, geological crews have been systematically mapping and sampling the project, which now covers over 6,000 hectares.  This work includes additional chip sampling lines across the known mineralization at the Adriana, Katty, and Atajo zones, which substantiated the previous analysis and located several new prospects.  A geophysical program was undertaken in September, which comprised a Phase 1 program of detailed magnetic surveys completed on three grids, covering the regions around the Adriana, PDA, and Atajo areas.  In the second phase, an IP-DAS survey was completed over the Adriana and Katty zones.  The magnetic survey showed that the Adriana outcrop is near the apex of a well-defined, conical shaped magnetic high that extends at least 800 m below surface.  The anomaly is bound by structures on the northwest and northeast margins, the latter of which extends across to the Katty zone.  As expected, the IP-DAS survey showed a moderate chargeability anomaly associated with the Adriana magnetic anomaly, starting at about 250 m below surface.  This is thought to be the transition from surface oxide mineralization into sulphides at depth.  The magnetic signatures at the Atajo and PDA zones is consistent with the structurally hosted breccias that have been mapped on surface.  A summary presentation of the results from the geophysical surveys, and updated surface sampling, can be found on the company website at www.caminominerals.com.

An environmental assessment report has been prepared and filed as part of the permit application to complete an initial drill program on the Adriana and Katty zones.
