Mirasol Reports Initial Encouraging Gold-Silver Surface Results from the Atlas Project, Northern Chile

About this update from Mirasol Resources Ltd

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nVANCOUVER, June 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ, Frankfurt: M8R) is pleased to announce initial surface results from its 100%-owned\n Atlas gold-silver project located in an emerging precious metals belt\n of northern Chile. Surface rock chip samples have returned assay\n results of up to 7.45 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 639.0 g/t silver\n from rock chip samples located within a large area of alteration. \n Atlas is the second precious metals project generated by Mirasol\n through its Chile Miocene Arc exploration program, and is in proximity\n to the company's Titan epithermal gold property (see news releases ofFebruary 7, 2013 and March1, 2013).\n\n\nAtlas comprises a block of exploration claims totaling 6,300 hectares\n which are located at altitudes between 4,050 and 4,480 metres above sea\n level, accessible from a regularly maintained gravel road adjacent to\n the property.  The workable elevation and good access are expected to\n facilitate systematic exploration of the property.\n\n\nAt Atlas, Mirasol's targeting has outlined a high-sulphidation\n epithermal (HSE) alteration zone covering an area greater than 25\n square kilometres (Figure 1) Geological mapping suggests the alteration zone also extends under\n shallow, post-mineral cover in several directions, presenting the\n potential for further extensions of the presently recognized anomaly.\n Gold and silver mineralization sampled to-date is hosted by volcanic\n units with pervasive quartz-alunite-clay alteration, by hydrothermal\n breccias and also occurs in local structural \"ribs\" of vuggy quartz.\n\n\nAssay results were received from 1,910 surface rock-chip samples which\n have delineated the breadth of the anomaly, as have  widespread,\n strongly anomalous epithermal pathfinder elements (antimony, arsenic,\n barium, mercury and tellurium), and anomalous to locally high-grade\n gold and silver.  Two spatially separate zones, the Atlas Gold Zone and\n the Atlas Silver Zone (Figure 2), exhibit higher-grade gold and silver mineralization, whereas other\n Atlas areas returned lower-level gold and silver assays, which may\n indicate prospects that could be partially capped by non-mineralized\n (steam heated) alteration.\n\n\nThe Atlas Gold Zone returned strong gold-silver assays from rock-chip samples, ranging up\n to...
