Camino Corp. announced that its field work and geological modeling has identified the Diana Zone as a new drilling target at the Los Chapitos copper project in Peru. Previous channel sampling over the Diana Zone yielded 1.05% total copper and 14 ppm silver over 56m.

The Diana Zone appears stratigraphically related to recently discovered oxidized copper mineralization at the Lourdes Zone that was drilled in 2022 with similar copper grades and intercepts. The Diana Zone is located approximately 1.5 km northeast of Lourdes and 2.2 km northwest of Camino's main copper discovery zone at Adriana. A zonation in the elements sodium and potassium that are related to the calco-sodic metasomatism (albitization) and potassium Feldspar-silica, show the same geological conditions in the new target areas as Adriana.

The most important phase, which is the copper mineralization episode, is exposed in the Lourdes feeder. Evidence of additional copper on surface and geological modelling supports multiple satellite mantos targets in this new area. The relationship between the Adriana discovery and the Lourdes-Condori satellite target is related to the Diva Trend fault system, which aligns the silicified bodies identified as Olga and the Condori Silica Cap.

The Silica Cap is a potential trap for other buried copper mantos that have not been exposed by weathering. Geological modelling shows evidence that the Molybdenum (Mo) and Cobalt (Co) anomalies detected at Gallinazo, Gorro, and Abrahancillo in dioritic bodies are closely related to the Diva Trend system and demonstrate geological similarities to the deep parts of the Adriana model.
