Mirasol Resources Announces Extension of the Normal Course Issuer Bid

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ) (OTCPK: MRZLF) (the “Company” or “Mirasol”) announces today its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the "Bid"), subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") approval, to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as it considers advisable, up to 3,500,000 of its issued and outstanding common shares (the “Bid Shares”), being approximately 6.5% of the Company's currently outstanding common shares and approximately 8.92% of the Company's Public Float (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange).

The Bid will commence on December 15, 2021, and will terminate on December 14, 2022, or such earlier time as the Bid is completed or at the option of the Company. Haywood Securities Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia will conduct the Bid on behalf of the Company.

The Bid will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange. Purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the Exchange. The price that the Company will pay for any shares purchased by it will be the prevailing market price of such common shares on the Exchange at the time of such purchase. In accordance with Exchange policies, the Company will include a summary of the Bid in the management information circular to be mailed to shareholders of the Company in respect of its next meeting of shareholders, which mailing is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2022.

Mr. John Tognetti, a director and the control person of the Company, is also a director and the Chairman of Haywood Securities. Mr. Tognetti abstained from voting as a director of the Company on the engagement of Haywood, and shall not dispose of any shares of the Company under the Bid.

If the Company should acquire all of the Bid Shares under the Bid, then, following completion of the Bid, Mr. Tognetti’s current direct and indirect holdings (13,005,300 shares, or 24.15% of the outstanding common shares) shall be equal to 25.83% of the 50,350,043 common shares outstanding upon completion of the Bid.

Management and the directors of Mirasol believe that if the Company acquires all of the Bid Shares under the Bid, following completion of the Bid there will be a market for shareholders, who do not tender shares to the Bid, that is not materially less liquid than the market that existed prior to the Bid.

The Company also announces the grant of 165,000 restricted share units (“RSU”) to certain officers and employees of the Company under the short-term incentive structure approved by the board. The RSUs shall vest immediately and entitle the holder to one common share for each RSU.
