Mirasol Initiates Drill Program at Flagship Sobek Copper Project in Vicuña District, Chile
November 28 2024 - 6:59AM
Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
MRZ) (OTC:
MRZLF) (the “
Company” or
“
Mirasol”) is pleased to report that drilling has
started at the Potro SE target on the Company’s 100%-owned Sobek
Copper-Gold Project (“Sobek” or “the Project”) in the Vicuña
District of Chile. Located at the southern corner of the Sobek
North property block the Potro SE target is strategically situated
just 3 kilometers from NGEx’s Lunahuasi discovery and is
the first of two high priority porphyry targets planned for
drilling this season (news release dated May 13, 2024).
“We are excited to announce that drilling is
well underway at Sobek North,” Mirasol’s President and CEO Tim
Heenan stated. “The Potro SE target is characterized by a shallow
cylindrical shaped magnetic high response with a coincident high IP
chargeability located at the intersection of two productive faults
reinforcing its potential as a concealed porphyry target.”

A diamond drill is on site and drilling is in
progress to test the Potro SE target. The first diamond drill hole
is anticipated to reach the top of the target at a depth of 250-350
meters and continue to a total depth of 700-800 meters. It is
expected to take 25-30 days to complete the planned drilling.
The Potro SE target is a cylindrically shaped
magnetic high anomaly previously identified from an
airborne-magnetics survey supported by coincident copper-moly
geochemical anomalies sourced from both soil grid and rock chip
sampling (news release dated May 13, 2024). An Induced Polarization
(IP), Pole-Di-Pole (PDP) geophysical chargeability response is also
spatially associated with the Potro SE cylindrical magnetic high
target and located at the intersection of two productive faults the
Maranceles Fault and the Ventana Fault (which continues 3
kilometers north-northeast to Lunahuasi). These concurrent
geological, geophysical, geochemical and alteration attributes
reinforce Potro SE’s potential as an attractive concealed porphyry
system.

Progress to Sobek 46 South Target and
Expansion of the VN-Zone South
Situated in the southern end of Sobek Central,
the VN-Zone appears to represent the northern expression of an
extensive hydrothermal system hosting multiple porphyry targets
that continues for more than 3 kilometers south to the Sobek 46
South target (news release dated May 13, 2024). The VN-Zone Trend
is located on a structural corridor parallel to Filo Mining’s Filo
del Sol Project located 7 kilometers directly east.
While drilling progresses at Sobek North,
exploration will continue at Sobek Central to advance towards the
second phase of drilling at the Sobek 46 South target later this
season. Construction of a 2.5-kilometer access road is underway to
support ongoing exploration and facilitate future drill
mobilization. Planned exploration work will include electrical
ground-based geophysics and the continuation of the systematic
grid-based geochemical soil sampling aimed at refining and
extending the porphyry targets trend.

High-Profile Vicuña
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.
About Mirasol Resources Ltd
Mirasol is a well-funded exploration company
with 20 years of operating, permitting and community relations
experience in the mineral rich regions of Chile and Argentina.
Mirasol is currently self-funding exploration at two flagship
projects, Sobek and Inca Gold, both located in Chile and controls
100% of the high-grade Virginia Silver Deposit in Argentina.
Mirasol also continues to advance a strong pipeline of highly
prospective early and mid-stage projects.
