Mirasol Resources Discovers Mineralized Hydrothermal Breccia System at Sobek Copper-Gold Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 02, 2025 – Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ) (OTC: MRZLF) (the “Company” or “Mirasol”) is thrilled to share some exciting news from its 100%-owned Sobek Copper-Gold Project (“Sobek” or “the Project”) in the Vicuña District of Chile. The Company’s recent drilling results have confirmed the presence of a mineralized hydrothermal breccia system, which contains gold, silver, zinc, lead, and indications of copper.
Strategic Location and Previous Exploration
The Potro SE target, where these discoveries were made, is located at the southeast corner of the Sobek North property block. Its strategic positioning is just 3km southwest of NGEx’s Lunahuasi discovery. This area, which has not previously been drill-tested, is gaining significant attention due to its proximity to a known mineral-rich region.
Initial Drilling Results
The initial drilling results indicate that the hydrothermal breccia system extends to a depth of approximately 250 meters. The mineralization is characterized by quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, with visible gold observed in several samples. The high-grade zinc and lead mineralization is hosted within breccia clasts and veinlets. The copper indications are based on the presence of chalcocite and bornite in some samples.
Impact on Mirasol and the Mining Industry
Mirasol’s discovery at the Potro SE target is a significant development for the Company. This mineralized hydrothermal breccia system not only expands the known mineralized footprint at Sobek but also strengthens Mirasol’s position in the Vicuña District. The Company’s shares have seen an upward trend in the market since the announcement of the discovery.
Beyond Mirasol, this discovery could have a broader impact on the mining industry. The Vicuña District is known for its rich copper and gold deposits, and discoveries like this one can lead to increased exploration efforts in the area. Moreover, the presence of multiple commodities in the mineralization could attract a diverse range of investors and companies.
Future Plans
Mirasol plans to continue its exploration efforts at the Potro SE target, with further drilling campaigns scheduled for the coming months. The Company believes that this discovery is only the beginning and that there is significant potential for further discoveries within the Sobek Project.
- Further drilling campaigns to expand the known mineralized footprint
- Evaluation of potential processing methods for the mineralization
- Collaboration with potential partners to advance the project
Conclusion
Mirasol Resources’ discovery of a mineralized hydrothermal breccia system at the Potro SE target on its Sobek Copper-Gold Project is an exciting development for the Company and the mining industry as a whole. With the potential for further discoveries and increased exploration efforts in the Vicuña District, this announcement marks an important milestone for Mirasol and its stakeholders.
As investors and industry observers continue to monitor the situation, it is clear that the future holds significant potential for Mirasol and the mining industry in the Vicuña District of Chile.
