Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
MRZ) (OTC:
MRZLF) (the “
Company” or
“
Mirasol”) is pleased to report that the 2024/25
exploration season is underway at the Company’s 100%-owned Sobek
Copper-Gold Project (“Sobek” or “the Project”) in the Vicuña
District of Chile in preparation for drilling two of the high
priority porphyry targets identified last year (news release dated
May 13, 2024). With permits and community agreements in place
exploration to evaluate and prioritize the multiple copper porphyry
targets identified including detailed geological and structural
mapping, sampling, geophysics and alteration analysis is
progressing.
Drilling equipment and supplies are currently
being mobilized to the Sobek North Potro SE target located 3
kilometers from NGEx´s Lunahuasi discovery. Induced Polarization
(IP), Pole-Di-Pole (PDP) geophysical surveys to refine drill collar
positioning at the Potro SE target is quickly advancing, with the
first two 3-kilometer lines now complete and the final
2.6-kilometer line is nearly complete.
While drilling advances at Sobek North,
exploration will be ongoing at Sobek Central to advance towards the
second phase of drilling at the Sobek 46 South target later this
season. Exploration will include electrical ground-based
geophysics, and the continuation of the systematic grid based
geochemical soil sampling survey to further define the trend of
porphyry targets that start at the VN-Zone and extends south for at
least 3 kilometers to the Sobek 46 South target. The VN-Zone Trend
is located on a parallel structure 7 kilometers directly west of
Filo Mining’s Filo del Sol Project. Construction of a 2.5-kilometer
access road is currently advancing to facilitate exploration and
future drill mobilization.
“Our progress at Sobek has been building towards
this very pivotal exploration season for years. Drilling is
expected to start imminently at the copper porphyry target at Sobek
North. The Potro SE target is a shallow cylindrical shaped magnetic
response at the intersection of two productive faults, in a similar
geological setting as reported by NGEx at their Lunahuasi
discovery. The data collected from the final IP survey of the Potro
SE prospect is currently being reviewed to finalize drill
targeting,” Mirasol’s President and CEO Tim Heenan stated. “While
drilling proceeds at Sobek North, we will continue exploration at
Sobek Central to advance towards drilling the Sobek 46 South target
later this season. The Sobek 46 South target is the largest
coincident Mag and MT geophysical anomaly we have outlined to date
with mineralized tourmaline breccias and elevated copper-moly-gold
geochemical results on surface. Sobek 46 South is at the southern
end of the of the 3 kilometers long VN-Zone series of porphyry
targets located 7 kilometers directly west of the Filo Del Sol
Project on what is interpreted to be a similar parallel regional
N-S trending controlling structure.”

Final Preparation Before Drilling Sobek
North - Potro SE Target
At the southeastern corner of the Sobek North
block, a shallow cylindrically shaped magnetic high target (“Potro
SE”) was identified 250 meters below surface from the original
airborne-mag survey (news release dated May 13, 2024). The Potro SE
magnetic high is cradled within the intersection of two productive
faults the Maranceles Fault and the Ventana Fault, which continues
3 kilometers north-northeast to Lunahuasi.
Coincidentally, follow-up exploration has
returned several elevated results ranging from 1.8% to 0.11% copper
and 87 to 2 ppm molybdenum from select grab samples directly
overlying the magnetic anomaly and a systematic soil grid survey
across the target also returned a coherent copper soil anomaly.
Intense propylitic (green rock) alteration outcrops over a 600 x
600-meter area, directly above the cylindrical magnetic
anomaly.
A chargeable electrical IP-PDP anomaly, which
has yet to be fully defined, is spatially associated with the
cylindrical magnetic high. Three additional geophysical lines of
IP-PDP are nearing completion over the target to map out the
geometry of the chargeability anomaly more precisely and to
finalize drill collar placement.

Advancing to Drilling Sobek Central -
Sobek 46 South and the Southward Expansion of the
VN-Zone
Situated in the south end of the Sobek Central
block, the VN-Zone appears to represent the northern most
expression of a much larger hydrothermal system hosting multiple
porphyry targets that extend for more than 3 kilometers to the
south (news release dated May 13, 2024). Exploration last season
significantly expanded the alteration and mineralization footprint
of the VN-Zone to the south across the previously consolidated SQM
property (“Rosita”) (news release dated February 14, 2024) and onto
the 100% owned Mirasol claim block (“Sobek 46 South”).
The emerging porphyry target at Sobek 46 South,
is associated with a very large (over 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer)
aerial geophysical response sourced from both airborne magnetics
and MT surveys. Prospecting campaigns have reported copper
mineralization in rockchips directly above the subsurface Mag and
MT geophysical anomalies. The systematic soil sampling has also
started to define what appears to be a strong and coherent
copper/moly/gold soil anomaly coincident with the rockchip
geochemistry overlying the geophysical responses at Sobek 46 South
(news release dated May 13, 2024).
Mineralized tourmaline breccias identified on
surface directly above the coincident Mag and MT geophysical
anomalies are considered strong geological indicators for potential
copper porphyry mineralization at depth. Tourmaline breccias
commonly contribute significantly to the copper content of copper
porphyry systems.

Copper-Gold-Silver District
Mirasol staked the Sobek Project in 2016 based
on prospective local geology and attractive structural architecture
prior to the 2021 discovery of the high-grade feeder zone at the
Filo del Sol gold-copper deposit and the 2023 discovery of
Lunahuasi. The continually expanded and consolidated Sobek Project
is located on the same regional N-S trending structural corridor
and just 3 kilometers to the west of the Filo del Sol deposit and 3
kilometers to the southwest of NGEx Mineral’s discovery at
Lunahuasi.
Sobek is located within a prospective geological
environment with a compelling north-northeast trending mineralized
structural corridor crosscut by a north-northwest trending
deep-seated trans-cordilleran lineament. This is a common
structural configuration hosting numerous Andean metal deposits in
both Chile and Argentina.
