(TSX-V: MRZ) (OTCPK: MRZLF) (the \"Company\" or \"Mirasol\") reports on its trenching program at the Los Amarillos project in Chile. Assay results for the channel samples taken along the trenches indicate that the mineralization is both sporadic and widely spaced, and as such did not define viable targets for drill testing at this time. \nNorm Pitcher, Mirasol's President and CEO noted: \"The trenching program at Los Amarillos was designed to give us information about vein width and the potential for mineralization between the vein structures. Unfortunately, we have encountered only narrow veins without significant mineralization between them. We were able to execute this program in a quick, cost effective manner using a local contractor for the trenching and utilizing our own IP equipment and crew, which we felt was justified on a property with year-round access and excellent infrastructure. There are still some untested areas of the property which may warrant further work.\"\nTrenching Program: During this program, 21 trenches were completed for a total of 1,128m. The trenches were targeting sub-cropping quartz veins and rock chip and float samples with anomalous Au and Ag assays. Due to the limited surface exposure the trenches were excavated to determine the widths of the sub-cropping veins and the potential for mineralization between vein structures. The trenches ranged from 1 to 3m deep and were all successful in exposing bedrock. Channel samples were taken along the length of the trench wall and sample widths ranged from 0.2m to 2.0m horizontally.\nFigure 1: Los Amarillos Project – Plan Map \nAssay results from the trench sampling indicate that the Au and Ag mineralization in the vein structures does not extend far into the wall rock between the veins. Geologic mapping of the walls of the trench show very narrow, mos...
