- Mirasol will retain a 2% NSR Royalty with the unilateral right to sell to Ampere Metals for a minimum of US$ 2.0 million
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ) (OTC: MRZLF) (the “Company” or “Mirasol”) is pleased to report the signing of a definitive agreement (“Definitive Agreement”) with Ampere Metals Pty. Ltd. (“Ampere Metals”) for the sale of the mineral rights and landholdings within Mirasol’s Virginia Silver Project (“Virginia” or the “Deposit”) located in the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Further to the memorandum of understanding previously signed (news release June 16, 2025).
“The sale of our Virginia Silver Project adds significant funds to our ongoing exploration projects while the remaining royalty ensures that Mirasol shareholders will continue to benefit from the project’s success as the Resource at Virginia continues to expand,” Mirasol’s President Tim Heenan stated. “The sale represents the first major achievement of our ongoing business development initiative and demonstrates the potential of our highly prospective, yet undervalued, portfolio of projects.”
Discovered by Mirasol in 2009, Virginia hosts a high-grade, intermediate sulfidation epithermal style mineralization in a series of prominent outcropping vein-breccias. An updated Resource Estimate (the “Resource”) is contained within a series of nine outcropping veins hosting high-grade silver mineralization, constrained within conceptual pits, with an indicated mineral resource of 11.7 million ounces of silver at 357 g/t silver and a further inferred mineral resource of 7.9 million ounces of silver at 184 g/t silver (news release November 9, 2023).

Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Mirasol has granted Ampere Metals an initial option to acquire 51% of the Virginia Project for total consideration of US$4 million, and a further option to acquire the remaining 49% for total consideration of US$4 million. Mirasol will retain a 2% net smelter royalty.

Upon exercise of the second option, Ampere Metals will have earned 100% interest in Virgina and Mirasol will retain a 2% NSR royalty. Mirasol will have the right to either sell the 2.0% NSR royalty to Ampere Metals for US$2 million which Ampere Metals is obligated to purchase. Alternatively, if Mirasol elects to retain the 2.0% NSR royalty, Ampere Metals will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase 1.5% NSR royalty for US$ 3.0 million or the entire 2.0% NSR royalty for US$ 4.0 million.
