Mirasol Provides Updates on its Corporate and Exploration Activities

VANCOUVER, March 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ) (OTCPK: MRZLF) (the "Company" or "Mirasol") reports that it has temporarily suspended field activities at its projects in Chile and Argentina. This decision was taken to ensure the safety of our employees and the communities in which they work and live.

Norm Pitcher, Mirasol's President and CEO, commented: "We have implemented precautionary measures at all our offices with staff working remotely to keep non-field activities, including business development opportunities, moving forward. With a treasury of $18 million at the end of 2019, Mirasol remains well funded to weather these uncertain times and looks forward to aggressively exploring its portfolio once it is deemed safe to do so.  Nonetheless, the Company is reviewing cost savings measures to match our reduced level of activities."

Mirasol is pleased to provide a short update on the activities completed at its projects over the past few months. Separate news releases will be issued to provide additional details once all results have been received and reviewed. At Gorbea we would normally expect the field season to end in May with the onset of winter, while Los Amarillos and Inca Gold enjoy year-round access.

• Gorbea:

Mirasol has been notified by our partner, Newcrest Mining ("Newcrest"), that drilling activities at Gorbea was suspended until further notice. Newcrest has completed up to hole ATL-DD-010 at the Atlas target, for a total this field season of 4,523 m of diamond drilling. Subject to a resumption of exploration, Newcrest intends to follow up with an additional 2,000 m of RC drilling on regional targets. Mirasol previously reported (January 16, 2020) assay results up to hole ATL-DD-005 and will provide an update once all remaining assays have been received and reviewed.

• Los Amarillos:

Mirasol has completed approximately 1,180 m in 21 trenches, with assays still pending for 590 m. The objective of this trenching program was to provide better exposure for geological mapping and sampling of both the vein and stockwork zones, and will also allow sampling of the wall rock between the high-grade vein structures. In addition, 18.7 line-km of Induced Polarization geophysics was completed at the project. Once all results are received and reviewed, Mirasol will determine the next steps for the project.

• Inca Gold:

Mirasol's environmental consultants have completed the field component required to prepare a base line study at the project. The focus is now on the remaining work needed to finalize this report and the drill permit application. A surface exploration program to define drill targets is being finalized and it will be implemented when conditions permit.

Norm Pitcher added: "The health and safety of our employees, contractors and other stakeholders are our priority. We will move swiftly to reinitiate our exploration programs when it is safe to do so and we will continue to provide regular updates on our activities".
