Mirasol to acquire Inca Gold Project

Mirasol Resources has signed an option agreement with subsidiaries of Newmont Goldcorp to acquire the Inca Gold Project in Northern Chile.

The agreement gives Mirasol the opportunity to add to its portfolio a district-scale and underexplored, intermediate sulfidation epithermal project in the prolific Paleocene belt of Chile. The project hosts multiple attractive targets that have never been drill tested, and it fits well with the company’s strategy to fund drilling on high quality prospects with favourable infrastructure.

“We are pleased to add the Inca Gold Project to our portfolio and to work toward delivering a second Mirasolfunded exploration and drilling program in Chile,” said Norm Pitcher, president and CEO of Mirasol. “This is an attractive transaction allowing Mirasol to acquire Inca Gold by exploring and drilling the property. If our exploration demonstrates the potential for a Newmont size target, the agreement will allow them to earn back 70% of the project by reimbursing our costs and investing in significant additional exploration expenditures.” The Inca Gold project is located in Region III of Chile, approximately 10 miles east of the town of Inca de Oro, with good access for year-round exploration activities. Newmont’s exploration work to date has been limited to surface and prospecting activities, which have identified five target areas, none of which have been drill tested.

The two main targets identified are the Sandra and Vania prospects. The other three prospects areas (Rincon, Guerda, Inca North) are secondary priorities at this time.
