Camino Corporation Commences Drilling at Costa de Cobre District-Scale IOCG Copper Discovery in Peru

Vancouver, April 16, 2026 – Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV: COR) (OTC: CAMZF) (“Camino” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of a drilling campaign at its Costa de Cobre district-scale IOCG copper discovery in Peru (“Costa de Cobre” or “Copper Coast”), previously referred to as the Los Chapitos copper project⁽¹⁾.  Camino has rebranded the Los Chapitos project as the Costa de Cobre, the Copper Coast, to better reflect its low-elevation coastal setting and strategic proximity to key infrastructure, including the proposed San Juan de Marcona Port Terminal, a major new port facility planned approximately 125 km to the north at Marcona. The Costa de Cobre project is advancing to the next stage of exploration and development as the Company enters into a joint venture with Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. (“Nittetsu”), under which Camino will serve as operator and hold a 65% interest, while Nittetsu will hold the remaining 35% interest.  Camino is also developing the permitted Puquios copper mine in Chile in a 50/50 Joint Venture partnership with Nittetsu targeting a finance package and construction commencement in mid-2026.
