Mirasol Resources Ltd. announced the acquisition and initial exploration results from the newly recognized Zeus high-sulfidation pithermal (HSE) gold project located in the prolifically mineralized Mio-Pliocene age belt of Northern Chile. The Zeus project comprises 18,480 ha of contiguous exploration claims. 15,980 ha of claims were staked by Mirasol as part of its Atacama-Puna generative program, and a further 2,500 ha of claims are controlled by Mirasol via a 5-year option to purchase agreement with the underlying property owner. Mirasol can acquire 100% of these claims by making staged option payments totaling USD 2.75 million over the 5 years with USD 2.45 million of the payments due in the 5th year of the option. The property owner will retain 1.5% NSR royalty. Mirasol has a right to buy 0.5% of the royalty for USD 3.0 million. The next stage of exploration at the project is anticipated to include systematic soil sampling, geological mapping and rock chip sampling, as well as magnetic and electrical geophysical surveys. Once acquired, these data sets will be used to drive integrated analysis for drill target selection, anticipated by the end of this field season (late April 2018 to May 2018). Mirasol is actively seeking a JV partner to advance the exploration and drill testing of the Zeus project. Zeus is located 40 km ESE of the multimillion ounce Salares Norte HSE discovery by Gold Fields. Zeus is a large-area Au target in the prospective Chilean Mio-Pliocene age mineral belt, covering 18,480 ha of contiguous exploration claims (15,980 ha 100% Mirasol owned; 2,500 ha controlled by Mirasol via a 5-year option to purchase agreement). Zeus presently hosts two recognized breccia-hosted gold targets " the Artemisa and Apollo prospects". Au grades from rock chip sampling of up to 1.28 g/t Au are found in a permissive high-level epithermal breccia setting. Zeus is located in undulating high altitude terrain with drive-up access to targets via gravel roads and tracks.
