Souhail Abi-Farrage, President & CEO of Cameo, commented: "Entering into this LOI is a solid opportunity for Cameo. The Property has two complementary exploration upsides, with an established epi- mesothermal zone of higher-grade gold mineralization in quartz veins from surface that Cameo can look to exploit almost immediately, and a much broader under-explored potential for a buried porphyry. We are excited to see the commencement of work on this property."

 

The VMP Property

 

The 162-ha, road-accessible VMP Property is situated within the Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas Province of Ecuador, 40 km straight line southwest of Quito, and is formed by three contiguous mining concessions totaling 158-ha, and one concession of 4-ha under application. The VMP project is comprised of basaltic lavas, volcanic tuffs, breccias and ultrabasic basement rocks belonging to the Cretaceous Pinon de la Sierra formation. These lithologies are underline by sedimentary rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Cayo de la Sierra formation. Mineralization in the area is mainly represented by porphyry related epithermal or mesothermal gold bearing quartz veins associated with a shear zone

(fault) of about 100 m wide that runs vertically with east-west direction and crosses a regional fault running with a north-south direction that also represents the contact between the Piñon and Cayo Formations. The property was visited by John E. Bolaños (M.Sc., M.C.S.M., P.Eng., QP Geo., PMA), in 2022 and the geochemical results of his rock sampling are listed below (Table 1).
