“We are very fortunate to add a director of the calibre of Tim Moody. Tim’s record of success in identifying projects of merit speaks for itself,” chairman Patrick Evans said in a statement.
“His experience and technical ability in identifying and advancing early-stage mineral exploration projects will be of great benefit to Mirasol and its shareholders,” he added.
The company also announced the grant of a total of 3.35 million incentive stock options to directors, management, consultants and contractors. The options are for a five-year term at an exercise price of $0.34 per option share and will vest over three years.
Mirasol is a well-funded exploration company focused in Chile and Argentina. Mirasol has six partner-funded projects with Newcrest Mining Ltd, First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FQM), Mine Discovery Fund, Mineria Activa, Silver Sands Resources, and Patagonia Gold. It is currently self-funding exploration at two projects, Inca Gold and Sacha Marcelina.
