Mirador Prospect Mineralized Body Identified
VANCOUVER – Camino Minerals Corporation reported on the Mirador prospect located in the Diva trend, one of several prospective targets at the Company’s Los Chapitos Copper Project in Peru. The new mineralized body identified at Mirador could represent the northwesterly continuation of the Adriana mineralized copper zone where over 20,000 meters of drilling has been completed. There are clear lithological, mineralogical, and structural similarities observed at Adriana, Mirador, and Katty that share the same structural control across the Diva trend fault. Importantly, this primary and oxide copper surface exposure mineralization is within intrusive, potential source rocks, that typically underlay the volcanic Chocolate Formation. The package of volcanic Chocolate formation above exhibits more copper oxide manto style mineralization that may extend to the east and to depth (Figure 1). Camino is taking more samples and opening the ground with bulldozers to expose more bedrock, leading to more assay results.
This discovery reinforces the view that Adriana and the discovery drillholes previously announced are part of a structurally connected and open system along several mineralized corridors including the Diva, La Estancia, and Atajo trends.
“The high-grade Mirador target has nice showings of bornite, adding to its high-grade results of 90 m at 1.07% Cu, including grades over 3% Cu. The mineralization is within intrusives, which could be the source mineralizing rock for all the copper at Los Chapitos. With a package of Chocolate volcanic rocks above this outcrop, it appears that the successful Adriana zone, could potentially be repeating itself. The recent 1:2000 scale mapping approach with Nittetsu has yielded key new targets,” said Jose Bassan, Consulting Geologist.
“We expect to provide more results in the coming weeks leading up to our next drilling campaign, planned to start in September 2025,” said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO. “Camino is expanding the discovery potential around the main Adriana zone with these new high-grade copper results from the Mirador zone to the north and the Katty zone to the south (see news release dated June 17, 2025)along the Diva trend. In addition, the Sombrero Blanco target along the La Estancia copper trend is another target that provides compelling upcoming district-scale exploration drilling at Los Chapitos.”
