(TSX-V: MRZ, \"Mirasol\") is pleased to announce initial exploration results from a new porphyry copper target at its 100% owned Odin project, located 20 km north of BHP's La Escondida Copper Mine in Northern Chile.  \n\nThe Odin Project was staked by Mirasol as part of its ongoing Atacama-Puna generative program which is focused on prolific mineral belts in northern Chile and Argentina.  Mirasol holds 100 percent of four copper projects in this region.  These total 26,700 hectares and are located along the world class late Eocene to Oligocene age porphyry-copper belt that hosts many large-scale copper mines in Northern Chile (Figure 1).  The Odin claims cover a 2 sq. km alteration anomaly detected from Landsat satellite imagery, and are located on the north-south oriented Domeyko fault system, a +700 km long continent-scale feature that controlled the emplacement of giant porphyry-copper deposit clusters of this age, including the La Escondida and Chuquicamata mining districts.\n\nStephen Nano, Mirasol's CEO commented: \"Odin is one of a number of projects Mirasol has staked as part of the company's Chilean copper exploration program.  The Odin lithocap target represents an intriguing conceptual exploration target for large-scale porphyry copper mineralization located on one of the world's premier copper belts, and warrants testing with systematic electrical geophysical surveys followed by drilling.  Mirasol is actively a seeking strategic joint venture partner to further explore and developed Odin and Mirasol's other copper projects in its Chilean portfolio\".  \n\nPrevious exploration at Odin by a large copper producer focussed on an area of structurally hosted copper-oxide mineralization exposed in trenches and outcrops over 0.5 sq. km.  Mirasol does n...
