Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
MRZ) (OTCPK:
MRZLF) (the “
Company” or
“
Mirasol”) is pleased to report results from the
12-hole, 1,362-meter Phase IV diamond drill campaign at the
Virginia Silver Project (“Virginia”), located in Santa Cruz
province, Argentina. The Virginia program is being funded by Silver
Sands Resources Corp. (CSE: SAND) (OTCQB: SSRSF) (“Silver Sands”)
under an option to purchase agreement in terms of which Mirasol
will retain a 19.9% ownership in Silver Sands and a 3% NSR royalty,
if the option is exercised (see News Release May 21, 2020).
“Virginia is one of Mirasol’s key projects
located in a prolific silver mining district”, Mirasol’s President,
Tim Heenan, commented. “The latest drill results continue to
confirm the strong potential to build on Virginia’s current
resource base within this very prospective silver-rich epithermal
vein field. The new very high-grade Margarita discovery will play
an important role in potential future additions to the existing
silver resources. The entire Ely Vein trend is coming together to
potentially form one continuous 870-meter-long mineralized zone. We
are also pleased to see some of the outlying ‘blue sky’ targets,
such as the Patricia Trend located approximately 1.5 kilometers to
the north of the Ely North Resource conceptual pit, delivering
indications of stronger silver mineralization.”
Figure 1: Phase IV Drill Campaign Overview
The previously untested Patricia and Daniela
targets were also drilled during this campaign. The encouraging
intercepts at the Patricia target represent the first significant
silver mineralization from these outlying vein trends to the north
and east of the principal resource conceptual pits.
Encouraging intercepts at Ely North, located
both to the south and north of the current resource, have the
potential to add new tonnage to the current Ely North resource.
At the Martina trend, the focus was to test the
potential for new mineralization. The encouraging results obtained
from MNW-DDH-006 and MC-DDH-002 combined extend the mineralization
along the Martina trend by almost 100 meters to the North and
South.
Significant results from the Phase IV
drill campaign:
Margarita Vein Drill
Results:
At the Margarita high-grade silver trend, three
drill holes for a total of 333 meters successfully extended the
mineralized vein by more than 150 meters to the north-west. The
system remains open in both directions. The Margarita Vein has
similar mineralization to the Julia Vein which hosts most of the
current silver resources at Virginia.
Margarita hole MR-DDH-004 returned 4.85
meters at 720 g/t silver, including a discreet intercept
of 0.30 meters at 1,775 g/t silver, exhibiting a
strongly banded epithermal vein with fine-grained sulphides and
copper oxides.

Interpreted Grade Shells
Hole MR-DDH-005, the northern most hole to date
along Margarita, returned values of 2.00 meters at 322 g/t
silver and 0.6 meters at 673 g/t silver.
Hole MR-DDH-006, drilled to a vertical depth of
100 meters below surface, returned 3.6 meters at 185 g/t
silver, including 0.5 meters at 588 g/t silver, showing
that high-grade silver mineralization extends to depth and remains
open.
Ely Central Vein Drill
Results:
At Ely Central three holes were drilled for a
total of 261 meters testing the gaps within the 500-meter-long
trend. This newly identified silver-rich vein trend hosts
previously reported high-grade drill intercept of 1,110 g/t silver
over 5.70 meters (drill hole EC-DDH-005, see news release dated May
17, 2021), outcrops on surface and has been drilled to 100 meters
vertically below surface, and remains open to depth.

Notable intersections from the Ely Central drill
holes:
• EC-DDH-011: 11.95m at
124 g/t silver, including 1.8m at 192 g/t
silver• EC-DDH-010: 1.95m at 190
g/t silver, including 0.3m at 553 g/t
silver• EC-DDH-012: 2m at 87 g/t
silver, including 0.3m at 182 g/t silver
Figure 4: Ely North and Ely Central Vein Trends
Drill Results Over Gradient IP Survey
Further infill drilling is required to test the
remaining gaps along the Ely Trend. This could potentially connect
the Ely Central and Ely South conceptual resource pits. Existing
gaps are between drill holes EC-DDH-012 and EC-DDH-002 and also in
the northern end. The higher-grade intersections of the adjacent
southern zone to the Ely North conceptual resource pit may connect
to expand the Ely North resource between drill holes VG-183 and
EC-DDH-008 and in the southmost part of Ely Central.
Ely North Vein Drill
Results:
One drill hole, EN-DDH-006, tested the northern
extension of the 200-meter-long anomalous southern end of Ely North
vein, which is not currently part of the Ely North conceptual
resource pit. The hole intercepted the vein 100 meters vertically
below surface returning 5.65 meters at 144.5 g/t silver,
including 0.6 meters at 418 g/t silver.
This result is very significant as it extends
the trend 50 meters to the north and also reduces the gap with the
conceptual resource pit at Ely North (gap between EN-DDH-006 and
previous drilling VG-186.
A priority geophysical chargeable anomaly
located to the north of hole EN-DDH-006 remains untested and may
close the gap with another hole located 50 meters north of
EN-DDH-006. The northern-most end of the Ely North conceptual
resource pit was also extended by EN-DDH-001 and remains open to
north.
Martina Vein Drill Results: (Martina NW
and Martina Central)
Two new holes were drilled at the Martina vein
trend.
• MNW-DDH-006: 4.8m at
91 g/t silver• MC-DDH-002: 2.9m
at 127 g/t silver, including 1.45m at 179.5 g/t silver
Figure 5: Martina Vein Trend Long Section with
Interpreted Grade Shells
Martina Central drill hole MC-DDH-002 returned
silver intersections and was designed to start testing the gap
between the Martina Central and northwest trends. Gaps still remain
along the Martina structure with the potential for silver grades to
be associated with the notable high chargeability responses. Hole
MNW-DDH-006 filled the gap in the Martina NW and extended the
mineralization along this 200-meter-long trend.
Patricia and Daniela Vein Drill
Results:
One drill hole tested each of these veins which
were untested targets hosting the highest-grade surface rock-chip
silver samples. The objective of these holes was to test for
downdip extensions of the surface expressions. The Patricia drill
hole PA-DDH-001 intersected 1.45 meters at 120 g/t silver,
including 0.5 meters at 198.5 g/t Silver, and another
parallel structure with 2.95 meters at 95.7 g/t silver,
including 0.35 meters at 163 g/t silver. These modest
drill results did not replicate the extremely high-grade rock chips
from near source float blocks samples (over 29,000 g/t silver and
18,800 g/t silver) from surface at Daniela and Patricia (see news
release dated October 29, 2020). Follow up drilling along strike
will be required to understand the significance of these
intersections.
Santa Rita East Vein/Breccia Drill
Results:
Hole SRE-DDH-005 was drilled at the Santa Rita
East breccia structure to test the potential depth continuity of
the epithermal quartz-adularia vein intercepted in hole SRE-DDH-003
(5.20 meters at 0.63 g/t gold and 7 g/t silver from 35.30 meters,
see news release dated February 10, 2022). Hole SRE-DDH-005
intersected 1.3 meters at 0.23 g/t gold and 0.45m at 0.18
g/t gold. While below expectations, the structure is
gold-rich and hosts a large IP high chargeability anomaly with a
footprint over 200 meters long. This warrants more drilling to
fully evaluate the breccia structure and other Santa Rita East and
Central epithermal vein structures.
Libanesa Silver-Gold Project in
Argentina:
Mirasol has received notification that the
option agreement on the Libanesa Sliver-Gold project in Argentina
(“Libanesa”) with our partner, Golden Arrow Resources Corporation
(TSX-V:GRG) (“Golden Arrow”) has been terminated. Golden Arrow has
exceeded its contractual minimum commitment by spending over
US$500,000 on exploration since the option agreement was announced
(see news release dated October 12, 2021). The exploration program
included field mapping, surface sampling, trenching and 1,716
meters of drilling at the Cerro Plomo/Cerro Rodonda and the
Lagunita prospects. Mirasol firmly believes that quality drill
targets remain at Libanesa (Cerro Plomo) and once the data has been
officially received Mirasol will review and evaluate how to test
these remaining targets.
