VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2023 / Camino Corp. (TSXV:COR)(OTC PINK:CAMZF)(WKN:A116E1) ("Camino" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its second annual Environmental and Social Governance ("ESG") disclosure submission with Digbee Ltd. ("Digbee"). Camino's 2022 submission received a "BB" rating for its corporate and exploration activities relating to the Company's projects in Peru.

"ESG is an integral aspect of the mining industry, as responsible project exploration and development brings benefits to all stakeholders. In addition, we believe that our ESG initiatives help support our business development activities to grow our copper platform through copper exploration and the continued pursuit of new partners and projects," said Jay Chmelauskas, CEO of Camino Corp. "We are proud to have received an improved score for our Los Chapitos copper project of "BBB" for 2022 from "BB" in 2021, and established a baseline for our Maria Cecilia copper porphyry acquired in 2021. With Digbee's independent evaluation and resulting recommendations, we can continue to improve our ESG practices as we develop our copper projects."

In 2021, Camino was one of the first mining companies participating in Digbee's inaugural reporting cycle. Camino continues to demonstrate its commitment to its efforts in ESG implementation through transparent and annual reporting. The Digbee platform enables mining companies to evaluate positive initiatives and provides a standardized framework on which to build and improve ESG practices.

Jamie Strauss, CEO of Digbee commented, "Camino was an early adopter of the Digbee reporting platform. Camino's management has demonstrated that it recognizes the value a strong ESG strategy has for external observers, as well as its value in creating a corporate culture that improves the business to benefit employees and stakeholders. We are pleased that Camino joined the Digbee initiative, as we believe it is setting a positive example for the junior mining sector."
