[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nVANCOUVER, July 27, 2015 /CNW/ - Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ, Frankfurt: M8R)  Mirasol Resources is pleased to announce exploration results that further expand the Curahue gold – silver vein prospect at the 100% owned Claudia Project, located adjacent to the large AngloGold Ashanti Cerro Vanguardia gold mine.\n\n\nRecent exploration at the Curahue prospect has defined a large-scale, epithermal gold -silver vein system, developed over a 15 km strike length with 6 vein trends outlined to date. \nTrenching through gravel covered resistivity anomalies at the \"Io\" Trend has exposed intermittent, broad zones of veining over a 2 km strike length, with individual channel sample assays ranging up to 5.9 g/t Au and 120 g/t Ag.     \nAt the new \"Sinope\" Trend, a 61 line-km gradient array geophysical survey has outlined 3.5 km strike-length of resistivity anomalies in gravel covered areas, suggesting the presence of additional, potentially mineralized, large veins. \nAt the new \"Themisto\" Trend, rock chip sampling has returned assay results of up to 0.49 g/t Au and 282 g/t Ag from chalcedonic veinlets associated with a 3.5 km long gradient array resistivity anomaly, also suggesting the presence of gravel covered veins at this trend.      \n\nThe Curahue prospect represents a large-scale undrilled epithermal gold – silver prospect located approximately 10 km south of the Cerro Vanguardia mine pits.  The Curahue vein system remained unrecognized until 2011 largely due to an aerially extensive, thin (estimated 1 to 6 m thickness) post-mineral gravel cover that conceals the majority of the prospect.  \n\nMirasol has previously announced the discovery of the Curahue vein system and initial exploration results (see news release April 18, 2012).  Additional exploration completed in late 2013, and a new understanding of the scale of the vein system from recent desktop analysis and ground checking of these results, has confirmed the presence of an epithermal Au+Ag vein system intermittently developed over a 15 km long northwest oriented corridor.  Despite some historic drilling in and around Curahue by a previous joint venture partner, the large-scale vein system defined by Mirasol remains untested.   \n\nPreviously reported Mirasol ex...
