(TSX-V: MRZ, OTCPK: MRZLF, \"Mirasol\", the \"Company\") is pleased to report initial exploration results from its new 100% owned Altazor high sulfidation epithermal (HSE) gold project located in the prolifically mineralized Mio-Pliocene age mineral belt of Northern Chile.  Altazor comprises approximately 22,900 ha of contiguous exploration claims, and was staked by Mirasol as an outcome of the Company's Atacama-Puna Generative program, which is targeting the discovery of large-scale Au+Ag and Cu deposits in the prolifically mineralized, Tertiary age mineral belts of this region. \n\nMirasol's CEO Stephen Nano stated \"We are pleased to have added another large scale, quality HSE gold project to our Chilean portfolio that now establishes Mirasol as one of the leading explorers in this prospective mineral belt.  Altazor has attracted the attention of major gold producers who have expressed interest in a potential joint venture (JV) on the project\".  \n\nAltazor has favourable logistics, situated just 20 km south of 345 kV powerlines that follow International Highway Route 23, a paved road connecting northern Chile and Argentina (Figure 1).  In common with other Mio-Pliocene mines and projects, Altazor is located at high altitudes of between 4000 and 5200 m; however, Altazor has good \"drive up access\" via an open valley and a network of easily passable gravel tracks.\n\nAltazor is situated in an underexplored 860 km long section of the Mio-Pliocene age mineral belt located between Mirasol's Yamana Gold - Gorbea Joint Venture (see news release September 11, 2017 on Atlas drill results) and the historic, now idled, Choquelimpie HSE gold mine in far northern Chile.  Mirasol believes the Chilean and Argentine section of the Mio-Pliocene age mineral belt is highly p...
