[{"type":"text","content":" Priority drill targets confirmed by 500-kilometer Airborne Mobile MT geophysical survey Coincident geochemical, geological and geophysical targets supported by multi-percent copper values recovered from select surface samples Maiden drill hole collared at Central Breccia Zone Target Construction of Sobek Central access road continues to the higher elevations to support future drilling at the VN-Zone gold-copper target VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ) (OTC: MRZLF) (the “Company” or “Mirasol”) is pleased to report that drilling has commenced on the Company’s 100%-owned Sobek Copper Project (“Sobek”) in the Vicuña District, Chile. Sobek was originally staked based on prospective local structural architecture prior to the 2021 discovery of the high-grade feeder zone at the Filo del Sol gold-copper deposit located seven kilometers to the east and NGEx’s recent discovery of Potro Cliffs located three kilometers to the east of Sobek North Block. “We are excited to announce the start of drilling on the Central Breccia Zone, the first of the priority targets at Sobek Central in the high-profile Vicuña Copper-Gold district. The recently completed airborne Mobile MT survey strengthens our geological model and the geochemical anomalies and high-grade copper samples collected on surface reinforce the potential mineralization of these first drill targets,” Mirasol’s President Tim Heenan stated. “Our 2022/23 program at Sobek was ambitious and thanks to the perseverance of our exploration team we have successfully advanced Sobek to this significant milestone of the maiden drill campaign. Drilling of our first targets will continue until the high Andes winter season sets in.” High-Priority Targets Supported by Coincident Airborne Mobile MT Geophysical Responses A 500-kilometer helicopter supported Airborne Mobile MT survey of the entire Sobek Central Block, including the priority CLP, Central Breccia and the VN zones, was completed with tightly spaced (100m) lines. The Airborne Mobile MT system has high-definition depth penetration to greater than 800 meters below surface and has been proven effective in defining targets in high-sulfidation epith...
