VANCOUVER, BC – February 26, 2007 – Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSXV: MRZ; Frankfurt: M8R) (“Mirasol”) is pleased to announce it has finalized the Option and Joint Venture Agreement with Hochschild Mining Holdings Ltd., a subsidiary of Hochschild Mining plc (“Hochschild”), previously announced on October 3, 2006, for exploration and development of the Claudia and Santa Rita Projects. Claudia and Santa Rita are two epithermal gold-silver projects within Mirasol’s 100%-owned gold-silver property portfolio located in southern Argentina. Hochschild operates the joint venture and has already initiated exploration activities at both properties.

Principle terms of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement provide Hochschild with the option to earn a 51% interest in each of the Claudia and Santa Rita properties by spending US$6 million on exploration at the Claudia Project and US$3 million on exploration at the Santa Rita Project over four years, and by making cash payments totaling US$950,000. Hochschild may increase its interest to 65% in either, or both, projects by completing a bankable feasibility study, and may further increase its ownership to 75% by providing mine financing on commercial terms to Mirasol. At each decision point, Mirasol may elect to retain its participating interest and fund its share of expenditures.
