    Cautionary Statement

    This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. All statements in this release, other than

    statements of historical fact, that address future production, reserve potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or

    developments that the Company expects to occur, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not

    historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words “expects”, “plans” “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”,

    “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Information

    inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward

    looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Although

    the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such

    statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

    Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploitation

    and exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions.

    Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ

    materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and

    opinions of the Company’s management on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these

    forward-looking statements in the event that management’s beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.

    This presentation may use the term “indicated resource”. The Company advises investors that although this term is recognized and required

    by Canadian securities regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”), the US Securities and

    Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of or all of the mineral deposits in

    these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

    Stephen Nano, President and CEO for the Company and a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and

    approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation.

  • Summary & Objectives

  • 12| MRZ: TSX-V

    Mirasol – Forward Focus

    Focus on our core business model – Project Generator JV company

    o Chile focus of our spend / project generation / project exploration

    o Argentina represents a counter cyclic investment opportunity

    Re-build our generative pipeline

    o Chile & Argentina: Concept driven generation & project acquisition

    o Argentina: Santa Cruz strategic consolidation in key districts / low

    holding cost

    Accelerate JV deals on headline projects - release value to our

    shareholders via discovery – Gorbea Belt & Argentine headline projects

    Slow the burn rate – targeting corporate + exploration spend to

    target window of US$6.1 - 5.5 million for FY 2015

    Improve information flow to our shareholders and the market so they can make

    informed investment decisions
