Mirasol Resources starts drilling at Inca Gold Project in Chile

Published by Will Owen in Global Mining Review

Mirasol Resources Ltd. has reported that drilling has commenced at the Inca Gold project, located in the Region III of Chile.

The 16 300 ha Inca Gold project lies in the Inca Del Oro mining district, 100 km north of Copiapó, at elevations of 2000 to 3000 m above sea level (ASL), and it has good access which allows for year-round exploration.

The three prioritised targets (Lomo Ballena, Veta Escuela and Veta Valle) were selected for drill testing in this maiden program as they display attractive and coincident geological, structural, and geochemical characteristic. They also represent the most deeply eroded parts of the outcropping Sandra mineralised vein system (<2450 m ASL) hosting the highest silver and gold surface grades encountered to date.

Mirasol is currently earning into the Inca Gold project under an option agreement with Newmont Corporation.
