VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2024 / Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF)(WKN:A116E1) ("Camino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the discovery drilling campaign at its wholly-owned Maria Cecilia copper porphyry project ("Maria Cecilia" or the "Project") in Peru will commence on June 1, 2024. The purpose of the drilling campaign at Maria Cecilia is to discover copper mineralization and to enable Camino to estimate the corresponding zonation in the porphyry stock for further follow-up drilling. Over 30,000 metres of drilling, including a NI43-101 compliant resource has been completed at the adjacent mountains, Toropunto and Emmanuel.
The entire porphyry complex spans over 5 kilometers, and the current drilling target, Maria Cecilia, is at the centre. Highlights from previous drilling (see figure 5): At Toropunto: At Emmanuel: Geological consultant Jose Bassan stated that "the potential for copper mineralization exists in both the reactive host rocks and in the intrusive porphyries that outcrop at Maria Cecilia. We plan to drill-test Porphyry 1 to a depth of 750 metres to determine if the oxide copper observed at surface extends to a copper, gold, and molybdenum primary sulphide deposit at depth.
It is possible, based on geophysics, that one large sulphide deposit connects to all the porphyry outcrops 1, 2 and 3. In addition, historical drilling at the adjacent deposits at Toropunto and Emmanuel demonstrate the potential to intercept high gr.
