14.07.2021  |  Accesswire

VANCOUVER, July 14, 2021 - Camino Minerals Corp. (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF)(WKN:A116E1) ("Camino" or the "Company") and Denham Capital affiliate, Stellar Investment Holdings LLC ("Stellar"), are pleased to announce the successful completion of Camino's acquisition of Minera Maria Cecilia Ltd. ("MMC BVI"), a British Virgin Islands company, as previously announced on March 30, 2021. As a result of the acquisition, Camino now controls the mineral rights and titles comprising the Maria Cecilia Porphyry and Skarn Complex ("Maria Cecilia") located in Ancash, Peru.

"Our plans to drill the significant porphyry system identified at Maria Cecilia in Peru, provides Camino with another copper discovery opportunity in 2021 to add to our copper asset portfolio. Drilling of our flagship Los Chapitos project is expected to commence in August, followed by Maria Cecilia," said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino. "Our Board of Directors is strengthened by the addition of Justin Machin, that will see Camino continue a strong corporate development effort."

Justin Machin, Director at Denham Capital commented, "With the Maria Cecilia transaction now closed, and Camino having completed its recent $7.5 million financing, the company is well positioned for its next phase of growth. I am looking forward to working closely with Jay and the rest of the Camino Board of Directors to build a leading junior mining company."

Camino acquired all of the shares of MMC BVI from Stellar pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement among Camino, Stellar, and MMC BVI dated March 30, 2021 (the "Share Purchase Agreement"). As consideration for the shares of MMC BVI, Camino issued 23,193,098 common shares in the capital of Camino (each, a "Common Share") to Stellar at a price of $0.20 per Common Share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4,638,620.

Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, Camino closed a subscription by Stellar for 2,941,176 units of Camino (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.17 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $500,000. This subscription was previously announced on March 30, 2021, and May 3, 2021. Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one half of a non-transferrable Common Share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling Stellar to purchase an additional Common Share at a price of $0.25 per Common Share until July 13, 2023.

Also concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of MMC BVI, Camino and Stellar entered into an investor rights agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which Stellar may not transfer any Common Shares until July 13, 2022, without Camino's prior approval, subject to certain customary exemptions including transfers to affiliates of Stellar. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that as long as Stellar owns at least 10% of the Common Shares: (i) Stellar will have the right to nominate one person to Camino's board of directors; (ii) Camino must provide at least 10 business days' notice to Stellar of any proposed issuance of Camino securities in connection with a financing (an "Offering"); (iii) until July 13, 2024, Stellar will have the right to participate in an Offering so as to maintain ownership of up to approximately 19.9% of Camino; and (iv) after July 13, 2024, Stellar will have the right to participate in an Offering to as to maintain up to the same ownership of Camino as Stellar had immediately prior to the Offering, to a maximum ownership of approximately 19.9%. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Justin Machin, a director at Denham Capital, was appointed to the board of directors of Camino concurrently with the closing of the acquisition.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Camino granted Stellar a contingent payment right, requiring Camino to pay Stellar an additional $0.02 per pound for each additional pound of copper equivalent mineral resources uncovered beyond the amount included in the current NI 43-101 technical report on Maria Cecilia. Camino may elect to settle the payment obligation, in its sole discretion, by either paying cash or issuing Common Shares at a price per Common Share equal to the greater of (i) the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange immediately prior to the date of public disclosure of the relevant mineral resource, or (ii) the maximum discount to market price permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange. The contingent payment right is subject to a cap of approximately $5,361,380 and will terminate when that cap is reached.

Details of the Maria Cecilia porphyry complex, the Skarn and Stockworks were disclosed in Camino's news release dated March 30, 2021.

Financing

On May 19, 2021, the Company issued a news release announcing the closing of its non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $7,500,000 (the "Financing"). Proceeds of the Financing will be used for corporate purposes and to advance the exploration at Camino's three copper projects in Peru, including Maria Cecilia. In the May 19, 2021, news release, the Company announced that it paid finders' fees of C$314,880 in cash and issued 1,283,620 finders' warrants which entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.25 per Common Share until May 18, 2023 (each, a "Finders' Warrant"). The Company wishes to correct the previous disclosure, as an aggregate of 1,852,233 Finders' Warrants (rather than 1,283,620 Finders' Warrants) were issued in connection with the Financing.
