VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2024 / Camino Minerals Corporation (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF)(WKN:A116E1) ("Camino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Chris Adams, former head of Macquarie's mining finance business in the Americas, has joined the Camino Board of Directors. In addition, David Baker has stepped down as a Director of the Company and joined the Camino executive team full-time as Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Adams has over 30 years of mining finance experience and particular mining knowledge in the Americas.

He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University, an MBA from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the CFA designation.

Mr. Baker is an MBA and Chartered Accountant (Australia) with over 30 years of experience in public accounting, project development, major mine operations, and government relations. He has spent most of his career working with the Ivanhoe Group of companies led by mining entrepreneur Robert Friedland. Holding multiple roles within the Ivanhoe Group, including Vice President Treasurer, he was intricately involved with the study, development, construction, and financing of the Oyu Tolgoi copper porphyry project in Mongolia.

"As Camino continues to advance our projects in Peru and evaluate corporate development opportunities, we are pleased to add the experience of both Chris and David to our team. Chris is highly regarded as a leader in mining finance and is a strong addition to our Board of Directors. David has a long career in the mining industry in roles that have provided a unique opportunity to be involved with major projects from the drilling stage right through to first production and operations," said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino. "We also thank Justin Bourassa for his dedication to the CFO role for the past several years, and we are grateful that he will remain with the Company in an advisory capacity as we integrate and expand our finance capabilities to support the continued development of our Los Chapitos, Maria Cecilia, and Plata Dorada properties, and our corporate development strategy."
