INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 

To the Shareholders of 
Mirasol Resources Ltd. 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Mirasol  Resources  Ltd.,  which  comprise  the 
consolidated  statements  of  financial  position  as  at  June  30,  2012,  June  30,  2011  and  July  1,  2010  and  the  consolidated 
statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 
2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards,  and  for  such  internal  control  as  management  determines  is  necessary  to 
enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

Auditors’ Responsibility  

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our 
audits  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing  standards.    Those  standards  require  that  we  comply  with 
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free from material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.    The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditors’  judgment,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of 
material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.    In  making  those  risk 
assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the 
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the 
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.  An audit also includes evaluating the 
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 
opinion. 

Opinion 

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mirasol 
Resources Ltd. as at June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the 
years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Mirasol Resources Ltd. 
(An Exploration Stage Company) 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the Year Ended June 30, 2012  
Canadian Funds 

1.  Nature of Business  

Mirasol Resources Ltd. (“Mirasol” or “the Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British 
Columbia, Canada.  The Company’s corporate registered and records office is located at 600 – 890 West 
Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. 

Mirasol  engages  in  acquiring  and  exploring  mineral  properties,  principally  located  in  Argentina  and  Chile, 
with  the  objective  of  identifying  mineralized  deposits  economically  worthy  of  subsequent  development, 
mining or sale. 

The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that 
current  exploration  programs  will  result  in  profitable  mining  operations.    The  Company  has  no  source  of 
revenue, and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead and maintain its mineral 
interests.  The recovery of the Company’s investment in mineral properties is dependent on the discovery of 
economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete 
the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral 
properties.    Also,  the  Company  will  have  to  raise  additional  funds  for  future  corporate  and  administrative 
expenses  and  to  undertake  further  exploration  and  development  of  its  mineral  properties.  While  the 
Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance that it will be able to 
do so in the future. 

Management  believes  that  the  Company  has  sufficient  working  capital  to  maintain  its  operations  and 
activities for the next fiscal year. 

2.  Basis of Presentation  

Statement of compliance 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by Canada on January 1, 
2011.  This  represents  the  Company’s  application  of  IFRS  as  at  and  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2012, 
including the 2011 comparative year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 
1,  “First-time  Adoption  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards”  as  issued  by  the  International 
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). 

A  summary  of  the  Company’s  significant  accounting  policies  under  IFRS  are  presented  in  Note  3.  These 
policies  have  been  applied  retrospectively  and  consistently  applied  except  where  specific  exemptions 
permitted an alternative treatment upon transition to IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1. Prior to July 1, 2011, 
the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting 
principles  (“Canadian  GAAP”).  The  impact  of  the  transition  from  Canadian  GAAP  to  IFRS  is  explained  in 
Note 12. 

Basis of measurement 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  a  historical  cost  basis,  except  for  financial  instruments 
classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In 
addition,  these  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  using  the  accrual  basis  of  accounting  except  for 
cash flow information. 

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on October 26, 2012.

3.  Significant Accounting Policies  

a)  Consolidation 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly  owned 
subsidiaries, Mirasol Argentina S.R.L, Minera Del Sol S.A., Australis S.A., Gran Nueva Victoria S.A., Cabo 
Sur  S.A.,  and  Minera  Mirasol  Chile  Limitada.    Inter-company  balances  have  been  eliminated  upon 
consolidation.   

b)  Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and 
expenses.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other 
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of 
making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other 
sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The  estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Revisions  to  accounting 
estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period 
or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. 

Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following: 

(i) 

Impairment:  The  Company  assess  its  investments,  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  and  equipment 
annually  to  determine  whether  any  indication of  impairment  exists.    Where an  indicator  of  impairment 
exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the higher of the 
fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  These assessments require the evaluation of events and 
conditions  that  indicate  impairment  in  accordance  with  IAS  36.  The  Company  has  concluded  that 
impairment conditions do not exist. 

(ii)  Share-based compensation:  The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors 
and officers through a stock option plan.  The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of 
the  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model.    Expected  volatility  is  based  on  historical 
volatility of the Company’s share price.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises 
and  forfeiture  rates  with  the  valuation  model.    The  risk-free  interest  rate  for  the  expected  term  of  the 
option  is  based  on  the  yields  of  government  bonds.  Changes  in  these  assumptions,  especially  the 
volatility  and  the  expected  life  determination  could  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
comprehensive loss for the year.  When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of 
options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the 
modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original option. The use of 
the option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material 
impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. 

(iii)  Warrant  valuation:    The  Company  grants  warrants  in  conjunction  with  private  placements  and  as 
compensation for debt financing arrangements.  The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on 
the  date  of  the  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model.  Expected  volatility  is  based  on 
historical volatility of the Company’s share price.  The Company uses historical data to estimate warrant 
exercises and forfeiture rates with the valuation model.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term 
of the warrant is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially 
the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s equity.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2012  
Canadian Funds 

(iv)  Recovery of deferred tax assets:  Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are 
recognized  on  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Deferred  tax  assets require  management  to  assess 
the  likelihood  that  the  Company  will  generate  taxable  income  in  future  periods  in  order  to  utilize 
recognized deferred tax assets.  Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows 
and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. 

(v)  Functional  currencies:    The  functional  currency  of  an  entity  is  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment in which the entity operates. That of the Company and its subsidiaries was determined by 
conducting  an  analysis  of  the  consideration  factors  identified  in  IAS  21,  The  Effects  of  Changes  in 
Foreign Exchange Rates. 

c)  Foreign Currencies 

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.  
The functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mirasol Argentina S.R.L, Minera 
Del Sol S.A., Australis S.A., Gran Nueva Victoria S.A., Cabo Sur S.A., and Minera Mirasol Chile Limitada., is 
the  Canadian  Dollar  (“$”).    The  functional  currency  determinations  were  conducted  through  an  analysis  of 
the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”). 

Any  transactions  in  currencies  other  than  the  functional  currency  have  been  translated  to  the  Canadian 
dollar in accordance with IAS 21.  Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded 
at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions.  At the end of each reporting period, monetary 
assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that 
date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are 
translated  at  rates  prevailing  at  the  date  when  the  fair  value  was  determined.    All  gains  and  losses  on 
translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of loss and comprehensive 
loss.    Non-monetary  items  that  are  measured  in  terms  of  historical  cost  in  a  foreign  currency  are  not 
retranslated. 

The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. 

d)  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  consist  of  cash  on  deposit  with  banks  and  short-term  interest-bearing 
investments with maturities of three months or less at the purchase date.   

e)  Financial Instruments 

All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position. The 
Company has classified each financial instrument into one of the following categories: (1) financial assets or 
liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  (“FVTPL”),  (2)  loans  and  receivables,  (3)  financial  assets 
available-for-sale,  (4)  financial  assets  held-to  maturity,  and  (5)  other  financial  liabilities.  Subsequent 
measurement of financial instruments is based on their classification. 

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in those fair 
values recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Financial assets “available-for-sale” are 
subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income 
(loss),  net  of  tax.  Financial  assets  and  liabilities  “held-to-maturity”,  “loans  and  receivables”,  and  “other 
financial liabilities” are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 

See Note 5 for relevant disclosures.

f) 

Impairment of Financial Assets 

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is 
impaired. If such evidence exists, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as follows: 

(i)  Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The loss is the difference between the amortized cost of the 
loan  or  receivable  and  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows,  discounted  using  the 
instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by this amount 
either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account. 

(ii)  Available-for-sale financial assets: The impairment loss is the difference between the original cost of the 
asset and its fair value at the measurement date, less any impairment losses previously recognized in 
the  statement  of  loss  and  comprehensive  loss.  This  amount  represents  the  cumulative  loss  in 
accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  that  is  reclassified  to  the  statement  of  loss  and 
comprehensive loss.  

Impairment  losses  on  financial  assets  carried  at  amortized  cost  are  reversed  in  subsequent  periods  if  the 
amount  of  the  loss  decreases  and  the  decrease can  be  related objectively  to  an  event  occurring  after  the 
impairment was recognized. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity instruments are not reversed. 

g) 

Impairment of Non-financial Assets 

The  carrying  amounts  of  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  facts  and 
circumstances  suggest  that  the  carrying  amounts  may  not  be  recoverable.    If  there  are  indicators  of 
impairment,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  estimated  in  order  to  determine  the  extent  of  any 
impairment.  For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for 
which  there  are  separately  identifiable  cash  flows  (“cash-generating  units”  or  “CGUs”).  The  recoverable 
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of 
the  expected  future  cash  flows  of  the  relevant  asset  or  CGU).  An  impairment  loss  is  recognized  for  the 
amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Non-financial assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment 
has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is  increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the 
carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in 
the prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive 
loss. 

h)  Equipment 

Equipment  is  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortization  and  accumulated  impairment  losses.    Cost 
includes  expenditures  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  asset.  Subsequent  costs  are 
included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can 
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced. Repairs and 
maintenance costs are charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the period they are 
incurred. 

The Company provides for amortization for equipment using the declining balance method at a rate of 30% 
for exploration equipment and 30% for computer equipment and applies only one-half of the applicable rate 
in the year of acquisition.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the Year Ended June 30, 2012  
Canadian Funds 

The  Company  allocates  the  amount  initially  recognized  to  each  asset’s  significant  components  and 
amortizes  each  component  separately.    Residual  values,  amortization  methods  and  useful  lives  of  the 
assets are reviewed periodically and adjusted on a prospective basis as required. 

Gains and losses on disposals of equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying 
amount  of  the  asset  and  are  included  as  part  of  other  gains  and  losses  in  the  statement  of  loss  and 
comprehensive loss. 

i) 

Exploration and Evaluation Assets 

The  Company  capitalizes  the  direct  costs  of  acquiring  mineral  property  interests.    Option  payments  are 
considered acquisition costs if the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option.   

Exploration and evaluation costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has 
been  determined  that  a  property  has  economically  recoverable  reserves,  in  which  case  subsequent 
exploration  and  development  costs  are  capitalized.    Exploration  costs  include  value-added  taxes  because 
the recoverability of these amounts is uncertain. 

Ownership  in  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  involves  certain  interest  risks  due  to  the  difficulties  of 
determining  and  obtaining  clear  title  to  claims  as  well  as  the  potential  for  problems  arising  from  the 
frequently  ambiguous  conveyance  history  characteristics  of  many  exploration  and  evaluation  assets.  The 
Company  has  investigated  ownership  of  its  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  and,  to  the  best  of  its 
knowledge, ownership of its interests are in good standing. 

j) 

Provisions  

(i)  Decommissioning and restoration provision: Future obligations to retire an asset, including dismantling, 
remediation and ongoing treatment and monitoring of the site related to normal operations are initially 
recognized  and  recorded  as  a  liability  based  on  estimated  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  a  risk  free 
rate. The decommissioning and restoration provision is adjusted at each reporting period for changes to 
factors including the expected amount of cash flows required to discharge the liability, the timing of such 
cash flows and the pre-tax rate for risk specific to the liability.  

The liability is also accreted to full value over time through periodic charges to earnings. This unwinding 
of the discount is charged to financing expense in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.  

The amount of the decommissioning and restoration provision initially recognized is capitalized as part 
of the related asset’s carrying value and amortized to earnings. The method of amortization follows that 
of  the  underlying  asset.  The  costs  related  to  a  decommissioning  and  restoration  provision  are  only 
capitalized  to  the  extent  that  the  amount  meets  the  definition  of  an  asset  and  can  bring  about  future 
economic benefit.  

For the years presented, the Company does not have any decommission or restoration provisions. 

(ii)  Other provisions:  Provisions are recognized when a current legal or constructive obligation exists, as a 
result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources that can be reliably estimated will 
be  required  to  settle  the  obligation.  Where  the  effect  is  material,  the  provision  is  discounted  using  an 
appropriate pre-tax rate for risk specific to the liability.

k) 

Income Taxes 

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of 
loss  and  comprehensive  loss  except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  items  recognized  directly  in  equity,  in 
which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity. 

Current  tax  is  the  expected  tax  payable  on  the  taxable  income  for  the  year,  using  tax  rates  enacted  or 
substantively  enacted,  at  the  end of  the  reporting period,  and  any  adjustment  to  tax  payable  in  respect of 
previous years. 

In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income 
tax  is  determined  on  a  non-discounted  basis  using  tax  rates  and  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or 
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or 
liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be 
recovered. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  on  temporary  differences  arising  on  investments  in  subsidiaries  and 
associates, except, in the case of subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference 
is  controlled  by  the  Company  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current. 

Deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities are  offset  when  there  is a  legally  enforceable  right  to set  off  current  tax 
assets against current tax liabilities, when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority 
and when the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

l) 

Share Capital 

Share capital issued as non-monetary consideration is recorded at an amount based on fair market value of 
the shares issued.   

The  proceeds  from  the  issue  of  units  is  allocated  between  common  shares  and  common  share  purchase 
warrants on a pro-rated basis on a relative fair value as follows:  the fair value of common shares is based 
on  the  price  at  market  close  on  the  date  the  units  are  issued  and  the  fair  value  of  the  common  share 
purchase warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model. 

m)  Share-based Payments 

The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees 
and service providers. The Company recognizes share-based payment expense based on the estimated fair 
value of the options. A fair value measurement is made for each vesting instalment within each option grant 
and is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the options is recognized 
over  the  vesting  period  of  the  options  granted  as  both  share-based  payment  expense  and  reserve.  This 
includes  a  forfeiture  estimate,  which  is  revised  for  actual  forfeitures  in  subsequent  periods.  The  reserve 
account  is  subsequently  reduced  if  the  options  are  exercised  and  the  amount  initially  recorded  is  then 
credited to share capital. 

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services 
received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of 
the  share-based  payment.  Otherwise,  share-based  payments  are  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  goods  or 
services received.

n)  Loss per Share 

Basic  loss  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  income  available  to  common  shareholders  by  the  weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  The computation of diluted loss per share 
assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise 
or issuance would have a dilutive effect on the loss per share.  The dilutive effect of convertible securities is 
reflected  in  the  diluted  loss  per  share  by  application  of  the  "if  converted"  method.    The  dilutive  effect  of 
outstanding  options  and  warrants  and  their  equivalents  is  reflected  in  the  diluted  loss  per  share  by 
application of the treasury stock method.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had no items which would have a 
dilutive effect on the loss per share. 

4.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Certain  new  standards,  interpretations,  amendments  and  improvements  to  existing  standards  were  issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or International Financial Reporting Interpretations 
Committee (“IFRIC”). The Standards impacted that are applicable to the Company are as follows: 

a) IFRS  7,  Financial  Instrument:  Disclosures  (“IFRS  7”),  Offsetting  Financial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities, 
was amended by the IASB in 2011 to require information about all recognized financial instruments that are 
set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. 

The  amendments  also  require  disclosure  of  information  about  recognized  financial  instruments  subject  to 
enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements even if they are not set off under IAS 32. 
The  IASB  believes  that  these  disclosures  will  allow  financial  statement  users  to  evaluate  the  effect  or 
potential  effect  of  netting  arrangements,  including  rights  of  set-off  associated  with  an  entity's  recognized 
financial assets and recognized financial liabilities, on the entity's financial position. The amended standard 
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating 
the impact of this standard. 

b) IFRS  9,  Financial  Instruments  (“IFRS  9”)  was  issued  by  IASB  in  October  2010  and  will  replace  IAS  39, 
Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  (“IAS  39”).  IFRS  9  uses  a  single  approach  to 
determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules 
in  IAS  39.  The  approach  in  IFRS  9  is  based  on  how  an  entity  manages  its  financial  instruments  in  the 
context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. There are 
two  measurement  categories:  amortized  cost  and  fair  value.  All  equity  instruments  are  measured  at  fair 
value. A debt instrument is at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows 
and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is at fair value through profit or loss.  

In  December  2011,  the  effective  date  of  IFRS  9  was  deferred  to  years  beginning  on  or  after  January  1, 
2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 

c)  IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede the 
consolidation  requirements  in  SIC-12,  Consolidation  –  Special  Purpose  Entities  (“SIC-12”),  and  IAS  27 
(2008), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”), effective for annual periods beginning 
on  or  after  January  1,  2013,  with  early  application  permitted.  IFRS  10  builds  on  existing  principles  by 
identifying the concept of control as a determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the 
consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to 
assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The Standard is not expected to have 
an impact on the Company in its current form. 

d) IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede existing IAS 31, Joint 
Ventures (“IAS 31”) effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application

permitted.  IFRS  11  provides  for  the  accounting  of  joint  arrangements  by  focusing  on  the  rights  and 
obligations  of  the  arrangement,  rather  than  its  legal  form  (as  is  currently  the  case).  The  Standard  also 
eliminates the option to account for jointly controlled entities using the proportionate consolidation method. 
The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

e) IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and is a new and 
comprehensive  standard  on  disclosure  requirements  for  all  forms  of  interest  in  other  entities,  including 
subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 is effective for 
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier application permitted. The Standard is not 
expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

f)  IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a single IFRS, a 
framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an 
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement 
date. This definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity 
specific  measurement.  In  addition,  IFRS  13  also  requires  specific  disclosures  about  fair  value 
measurement.  IFRS 13 is  effective  for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013,  with earlier 
application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard. 

g) IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised in June 2011 to 
change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement  to separate items  presented in 
OCI  into  two  groups  based  on  whether  or  not  they  may  be  recycled  to  profit  or  loss  in  the  future.  The 
revision is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 with early application permitted. 
The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

h) IAS  27,  Separate  Financial  Statements  (“IAS  27”),  as  amended  in  2011,  is  the  standard  to  be  applied  in 
accounting  for  investments  in  subsidiaries,  joint  ventures,  and  associates  when  an  entity  elects,  or  is 
required by local regulations, to present separate (non-consolidated) financial statements.  IAS 27 (2011) 
supersedes  IAS  27  (2008)  and  carries  forward  the  existing  accounting  and  disclosure  requirements  for 
separate financial statements, with some minor clarifications.  The amended standard is effective for annual 
periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013.    The  Company  is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of  this 
Standard. 

i)  IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”), as amended in 2011, supersedes IAS 28 
“Investments in Associates” and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the 
requirements for the application of the equity method  when accounting for investments in associates and 
joint  ventures.    The  Standard  defines  'significant  influence'  and  provides  guidance  on  how  the  equity 
method  of  accounting  is  to  be  applied  (including  exemptions  from  applying  the  equity  method  in  some 
cases). It also prescribes how investments in associates and joint ventures should be tested for impairment.  
The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company 
is currently assessing the impact of this Standard. 

j)  The  IASB  amended  IAS  32,  “Financial  Instruments:  Presentation”  to  clarify  certain  aspects  because  of 

diversity in application of the requirements on offsetting, focused on four main areas: 

 
 
 
 

the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off;  
the application of simultaneous realization and settlement; 
the offsetting of collateral amounts; and 
the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. 

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The standard 
is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.

k)  IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Mine (“IFRIC 20”) was issued in October 2011. This 
interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for the costs of stripping activity in the production phase 
when  two  benefits  accrue  to  the  entity:  usable  ore  that  can  be  used  to  produce  inventory  and  improved 
access to further quantities of material that will be mined in future periods. IFRIC 20 is applicable for annual 
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Standard is not expected 
to have an impact on the Company in its current form.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy 
according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair 
value hierarchy are: 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a 
going concern in order to pursue the development of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a 
flexible  capital  structure  which  optimizes  the  costs  of  capital  at  an  acceptable  risk.  In  the  management  of 
capital, the Company includes the components of equity. 

The Company  manages  the capital  structure and  makes adjustments  to  it  in  light  of changes  in  economic 
conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, 
the  Company  may  attempt  to  issue  new  shares,  acquire  or  dispose  of  assets,  enter  into  joint  ventures  or

obtain  debt  financing.    In  order  to  facilitate  the  management  of  its  capital  requirements,  the  Company 
prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including 
successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. 

In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. 

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments 
with  maturities  of  six  months  or  less  from  the  original  date  of  acquisition,  selected  with  regards  to  the 
expected  timing  of  expenditures  from  continuing  operations.  The  Company  is  not  subject  to  externally 
imposed capital requirements. 

c)  Management of financial risk 

The  Company’s  financial  instruments  are  exposed  to  certain  financial  risks.  The  risk  exposures  and  the 
impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. 

i.  Currency risk  

The  Company  is  exposed  to  the  financial  risk  related  to  the  fluctuation  of  foreign  exchange  rates.  The 
Company operates in Canada, Argentina and Chile and a portion of its expenses are incurred in United 
States (“US”), Australian dollars and in Argentine and Chilean Pesos. A significant change in the currency 
exchange rates between the US and Australian dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Argentine 
and Chilean Peso to the Canadian dollar could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, 
financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.   

At  June  30,  2012,  the  Company  is  exposed  to  currency  risk  through  the  following  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in US and Australian dollars and Argentine and Chilean Pesos: 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Receivables and advances 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 

US 
Dollars 
750,356 
19,680 
(92,449)

Australian 
Dollars 
- 
- 
(51,582)

Argentine  
Peso 
4,140,902 
698,257 
(2,613,593) 

Chilean  
Peso 
21,004,358 
9,386,930 
(45,707,389)

Based  on  the  above  net  exposures  as  at  June  30,  2012,  and  assuming  that  all  other  variables  remain 
constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US and Australian dollar 
would  result  in  an  increase/decrease  of  $69,053  and  $5,381,  respectively  in  the  Company’s  net  loss.  
Likewise, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the Argentine and Chilean 
Peso  would  result  in  an  increase/decrease  of  $50,142  and  $3,108,  respectively  in  the  Company’s  net 
loss. 

ii.  Credit risk  

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to 
meet its contractual obligations.  

The  Company’s  cash  is  held  through  large  financial  institutions.  The  Company’s  receivables  consist  of 
harmonized sales tax due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that credit risk 
concentration with respect to receivables is remote.

Canadian Funds 

iii.  Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. 
The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  through  the  management  of  its  capital  structure  and  financial 
leverage as outlined above. As at June 30, 2012, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts 
payable  and  accrued  liabilities  totalling  $985,207,  which  are  expected  to  be  paid  within  90  days. 
Management believes the Company has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they become due. 

iv. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate 
because of changes in market interest rates.  The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a 
decline  in  the  fair  value  of  the  short-term  investments  included  in  cash  is  limited  because  these 
investments are generally held to maturity.  

v.  Commodity price risk 

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company closely monitors 
commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

7.  Exploration and Evaluation Assets 

a)  Claudia Property 

The  Company  owns  a  100%  interest  in  the  Claudia  property  situated  in  the  Santa  Cruz  Mining  District, 
Argentina.  

b)  Espejo, La Libanesa, and La Curva Properties 

The  Company  owns  a  100%  interest  in  mining  interests  of  Espejo,  La  Libanesa,  and  La  Curva  properties 
situated in the Santa Cruz Mining District, Argentina, by staking. 

The Company signed a letter of intent on April 27, 2011 with Pan American Silver Corp. (“Pan American”) 
which permits Pan American to earn a 51% interest in the Espejo property by expending US$4 million over 
four  years,  and  then  to  reach  a  61%  interest  by  completing  a  43-101  compliant  feasibility  study,  at  which 
time  Mirasol  can  retain  its  equity  interest  in  the  project  or  request  Pan  American  to  finance  project 
development, to be repaid through cash flow. The Company received US $75,000 pursuant to the letter of 
intent and the definitive agreement has been signed as of October 4, 2012.  

c)  Sascha and Joaquin Properties 

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Sascha and Joaquin properties situated in the Santa Cruz Mining 
District, Argentina.  

The Company signed an option agreement with Coeur d’Alene Mines (“Coeur”) for the exploration of Sascha 
and Joaquin gold-silver projects.  The option agreement provides Coeur the option to earn an initial 51% in 
both  projects  by  expending  a  total  of  US$8  million  in  exploration  over  four  years.  In  October  2008,  Coeur 
terminated its option on the Sascha property and returned the property to Mirasol.  The total earn-in on both 
properties  reached  US$6  million  and  Coeur  vested  at  51%  interest  in  the  Joaquin  property  in  December 
2010. Coeur has elected to fund a bankable feasibility study to increase its interest to 61%. Mirasol, at its 
option, can elect to maintain a participatory 39% interest or request Coeur to increase its interest to 71% by 
providing mine financing at commercial terms to Mirasol.   

d)  Santa Rita Property and Virginia Zone 

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Santa Rita property situated in the Santa Cruz Mining District, 
Argentina. The Santa Rita property also hosts the Virginia prospect, thus together Santa Rita and Virginia 
account for total expenditures on the Santa Rita property. 

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company purchased certain surface rights overlaying the Virginia 
Zone  for  Argentine  Pesos  11,236,240  ($2,495,707).  The  Company  incurred  broker  fee  costs  in  relation  to 
the  surface  rights  of  US$50,000  ($49,963).  The  cost  of  surface  rights  has  been  capitalized  to  exploration 
and evaluation assets. 

e)  Nico Property 

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Nico property mining interests situated in the Santa Cruz Mining 
District, Argentina, by staking.

Private Placement Financing 

On  December  20,  2011,  the  Company  completed  a  bought  deal  private  placement  (“the  Offering”)  and 
issued 4,000,000 units at a price of $3.30 per unit for gross proceeds of $13,200,000. Each unit consists of 
one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant. One whole warrant entitles the holder to 
purchase a common share of the Company at a price of $4.30 per share expiring on December 20, 2013. 
The Company allocated $11,435,022 to the common shares and $1,764,978 to the share purchase warrants 
based upon the relative fair values. 

The  Company  paid  the  underwriters  commission  consisting  of  $792,000,  equal  to  6%  of  the  value  of  the 
offering  in  cash  and  issued  200,000  common  share  purchase  warrants  with  fair  value  of  $250,440.  Each 
warrant entitles the underwriters to purchase one common share at a price of $3.30, expiring on December 
20, 2013. Other costs relating to the offering amounted to $223,313. 

On  December  7,  2010  the  Company  completed  a  non-brokered  private  placement  with  the  issuance  of 
3,000,000  units  at  a  price  of  $3.10  per  unit  for  gross  proceeds  of  $9,300,000.  Each  unit  consists  of  one 
common  share  and  one-half  common  share  purchase  warrant.  One  whole  warrant  entitles  the  holder  to 
purchase a common share of the Company for one year at a price of $4.00 per share expiring on December 
6, 2011. The Company allocated $7,354,310 to the common shares and $1,945,690 to the share purchase 
warrants based upon the relative fair values.  

The  Company  paid  finder’s  fees  of  $555,210  equal  to  6%  of  the  value  of  2,985,000  units,  and  issued 
179,100  broker  warrants,  with  a  fair  value  of  $371,005  and  exercisable  for  one  year  at  $3.10  per  share 
expiring on December 6, 2011. Other share issuance costs relating to this transaction amounted to $40,576. 

The warrants’ fair values were based on the following assumptions: 

Expected dividend yield 
Expected stock price volatility 
Risk-free interest rate 
Expected life of warrants

The Company has established a share purchase option plan whereby the board of directors may, from time 
to time, grant options to directors, officers, employees or consultants.  Options granted must be exercised no 
later than five years from the date of grant or such lesser period as determined by the Company’s board of 
directors.  The exercise price of an option is equal to or greater than the closing market price on the TSX 
Venture Exchange on the day preceding the date of grant.  The vesting terms for each grant are set by the 
Board  of  Directors.  The  option  plan  provides  that  the  aggregate  number  of  shares  reserved  for  issuance 
under  the  plan  shall  not  exceed  10%  of  the  total  number  of  issued  and  outstanding  shares.  At  June  30, 
2012, a total of 4,270,066 options were reserved under the option plan with 3,685,300 options outstanding.

During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted options to directors, officers and employees to 
purchase up to 1,835,000 common shares of the Company at a weighted average exercise price of $4.40. 
The estimated fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2011 was $6,078,500 
using  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model.  $171,144  of  this  fair  value  was  recognized  as  share-based 
payment expense during the year ended June 30, 2012 due to the vesting provisions.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets other than deferred tax assets resulting from the initial 
recognition  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  do  not  affect  accounting  or  taxable  profit,  management  considers 
whether  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  some  portion  or  all  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized.  The 
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during 
the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

12.  Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards 

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards sets forth guidance for the initial 
adoption of IFRS.  Under IFRS 1 the standards are applied retrospectively at the transitional statement of 
financial position date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities taken to deficit unless certain exemptions 
are  applied.    The  Company  has  applied  the  following  optional  exemptions  to  its  opening  statement  of 
financial position dated July 1, 2010: 

(i) 

IFRS 3 - Business Combinations 

IFRS  1  indicates  that  a  first-time  adopter  may  elect  not  to  apply  IFRS  3  Business  Combinations 
retrospectively  to  business  combinations  that  occurred  before  the  date  of  transition  to  IFRS.  The 
Company has taken advantage of this election and will apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that 
occur on or after July 1, 2010. 

(ii) 

IFRS 2 – Share-based Payments 

IFRS  1  encourages,  but  does  not  require,  first-time  adopters  to  apply  IFRS  2  Share-based 
Payments  to  equity  instruments  that  were  granted  on  or  before  November  7,  2002,  or  equity 
instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the later of the 
date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to 
awards that were granted prior to November 7, 2002. 

IFRS  1  also  outlines  specific  guidelines  that  a  first-time  adopter  must  adhere  to  under  certain 
circumstances.  The  Company  has  applied  the  following  guidelines  to  its  opening  statement  of  financial 
position dated July 1, 2010: 

(i)  Estimates 

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must 
be  consistent  with  estimates  made  for  the  same  date  under  previous  GAAP,  unless  there  is 
objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of July 1, 
2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date. 

IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. However, significant differences 
exist in certain matters of recognition, measurement and disclosure. While adoption of IFRS did not have 
any impact on the Company’s equity and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as at 
July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011 it has resulted in changes to the Company’s reported results of operations.  

Reconciliation of net loss for the year ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:

a)  Share-based payments 

IFRS 

  Each  tranche  of  an  award  with  different  vesting  dates  is  considered  a  separate  grant  for  the 

calculation of fair value.  

  Forfeiture estimates are included in the calculation of fair value of stock-based awards, and are 

revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. 

  Awards granted to employees are measured on the date of grant while awards to parties other 

than employees are measured on the date the goods and services are received.  

Canadian GAAP 

  The  fair  value  of  stock-based  awards  with  graded  vesting  are  calculated  as  one  grant  and  the 

resulting fair value may be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. 

  Forfeitures of awards may be recognized as they occur. 
  Awards granted to employees are measured on the date of grant while awards to non-employees 
are  measured  at  the  earliest  of  (a)  the  date  at  which  performance  is  complete;  (b)  the  date  a 
commitment for performance is reached; and (c) grant date (if fully vested) 

Upon  transition,  the  Company  estimated  a  forfeiture  rate  of  0%  based  on  available  history  and  the 
requirement did not result in any adjustments. 

Under  Canadian  GAAP,  the  fair  value  of  options  granted  to  consultants  was  re-measured  at  each 
reporting period. Such consultants provide services similar to the ones provided by an employee and 
therefore  qualify  as  employees  under  IFRS.  Options  granted  to  consultants  were  measured  only  on 
the date of grant for reporting under IFRS resulting in adjustments to Reserves and Loss. 

13.  Subsequent Events 

a)  The Company issued 150,000 common shares on the exercise of stock options for gross proceeds of 

$94,500. 

b)  The  Company  granted  145,000  incentive  stock  options  to  certain  employees.    The  options  are 

exercisable at $2.34 per common share for a period of five years from the date of grant. 

c)  On October 15, 2012, the Company received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to amend the 
exercise price of 775,000 incentive stock options from $6.25 to $3.32 per option. These options were 
originally granted on March 23, 2011 at an exercise price of $6.25 and expiring on March 23, 2016.

Introduction 

The Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is prepared as of October 26, 2012 and is 
intended  to  supplement  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended 
June  30,  2012.    All  financial  information,  unless  otherwise  indicated,  has  been  prepared  in 
accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”).  All  dollar  amounts 
referenced, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in Canadian funds. 

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should 
be read in conjunction with its consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year 
ended June 30, 2012.  This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and 
uncertainties.  The  Company’s  actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  those  discussed  in 
forward-looking  statements  as  a  result  of  various  factors,  including  those  described  under 
“Forward-Looking Information”.  

Forward-Looking Information 

This  MD&A  contains  certain  forward-looking  statements  and  information  relating  to  Mirasol 
Resources Ltd. (“Mirasol” or the “Company”) that are based on the beliefs of its management as 
well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Mirasol.  When used in this 
document,  the  words  “anticipate”,  “believe”,  “estimate”,  “expect”  and  similar  expressions,  as 
they  relate  to  Mirasol  or  its  management,  are  intended  to  identify  forward-looking  statements. 
This  MD&A  contains  forward-looking  statements  relating  to,  among  other  things,  regulatory 
compliance, the sufficiency of current working capital, and the estimated cost and availability of 
funding for the continued exploration and development of the Company’s exploration properties.  
Such  statements  reflect  the  current  views  of  Mirasol  with  respect  to  future  events  and  are

Highlights for the Year Ended June 30, 2012 

The Company closed a bought deal private placement (“the Offering”) with Haywood Securities 
Inc., Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Inc., Sprott Private Wealth Inc., and Paradigm Capital 
Inc. (Collectively the “Underwriters”) and issued 4,000,000 units (the “units”) of the Company at 
a price of $3.30 per unit for aggregate proceeds of $13,200,000. Each unit is comprised of one 
common share of Mirasol and one half of one share purchase warrant with each whole warrant 
entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for the period of two years 
at  a  price  of  $4.30  per  common  share.  The  Company  paid  the  Underwriters  commission  in 
connection with the Offering consisting of $792,000 in cash and issued 200,000 common share 
purchase  warrants  (the  "Underwriters'  Warrants").  Each  Underwriters'  Warrant  entitles  the 
holder to purchase one common share for a period of two years at a price of $3.30 per share. 

The Company’s joint venture partner and operator of its Joaquin project, Coeur d’Alene Mines 
(“Coeur”)  commenced  a  major  diamond  drilling  program  at  the  project  in  support  of  feasibility 
work.    The  program  focused  on  the  La  Negra  and  La  Morocha  silver-gold  deposits  and  more 
recently  the  La  Morena  prospect.  The  funding  of  all  expenditures  through  to  the  delivery  of  a 
feasibility  study  allows  Coeur  to  increase  its  equity  in  the  Joaquin  project  from  the  currently 
vested 51% to 61%. 

Phases  III  and  IV  diamond  drilling  were  completed  on  the  Company’s  100%  owned  Virginia 
Silver Project, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina during the year.  Phases I to IV of drilling have 
identified  six  discrete  silver  deposits  containing  sufficient  grade,  size,  and  drill  hole  density  to 
support a resource estimate. 

An  aggressive  exploration  program  was  undertaken  at  the  Company’s  100%  owned  Claudia 
gold-silver project in Argentina.  The exploration program had been on hold for Claudia project 
since  2009  when  the  project  was  returned  to  the  Company  following  early  termination  of  an 
earn-in joint venture (“JV”) agreement. 

The Company granted 800,000 incentive stock options under its incentive stock option plan to 
certain directors, officers, employees and consultants.  The incentive options are exercisable at 
$5.23 per option for a period of five years until August 4, 2016.  

Bernie  Zacharias,  CA,  was  appointed  as  Chief  Financial  Officer  by  the  Company,  effective 
September  1,  2011.    Mr.  Zacharias  is  a  managing  partner,  founder  and  director  of  Avisar 
Chartered Accountants since 2004 and has recently acted as Chief Financial Officer of several 
TSX  Venture  Exchange  listed  companies.    Mr.  Zacharias’  addition  brings  beneficial  corporate 
finance experience to the Company.

Activities on Mineral Projects 

Activities  during  the  year  ended  June  30,  2012  were  focused  on  exploration  activities  on  the 
Company’s gold-silver prospects and acquisition evaluations in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, 
and northern Chile.  

The  Company  carries  out  “grass-roots”  exploration  for  gold  and  silver  in  Argentina,  Chile,  and 
elsewhere in Latin America.  To the present time, properties are advanced through exploration 
to  bring  the  properties  to  a  stage  where  the  Company  can  attract  the  participation  of  major 
resource  companies  having  the  expertise  and  financial  capability  to  take  such  properties  to 
commercial  production.    At  present,  Mirasol  has  a  joint  venture  with  Coeur  at  the  Joaquin 
Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina and with Pan American Silver Corp. (“Pan American 
Silver”),  permitting  Pan  American  Silver  to  earn  a  51%  interest  in  the  Company’s  Espejo 
property  upon  completion  of  US  $  4  million  investment  in  exploration.  Mirasol  holds  a  100% 
interest in all other properties.  

The  Company  plans  to  continue  drilling  at  the  Virginia  and  Claudia  Projects,  and  potentially 
other  properties  in  Argentina.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  re-activated  its  generative  and 
reconnaissance precious metals exploration program in northern Chile. 

Generative Exploration 

Generative exploration is a key strategy employed by Mirasol for identifying and acquiring new 
prospects.  To identify and capitalize on a good quality prospect, experienced professionals are 
needed  to  ensure  that  right  opportunity  is  taken  at  the  right  time.    Costs  of  generative 
exploration are those costs not attributable to a specific Mirasol project.  When Mirasol defines a 
project as a distinct exploration target, it is then accounted for as a separate project.  Costs of 
generative exploration totaled $98,763 for the year ended June 30, 2012 (2011 - $311,526), a 
decrease of $212,763 from costs incurred in the prior year.  Exploration activities in Chile and 
Argentina  are  managed  from  the  Company’s  Mendoza,  Argentina  exploration  office.  The 
majority of costs associated with generative exploration are for consulting and contractors. 

Joaquin Property 

The  Joaquin  Property  is  located  in  the  central  part  of  Santa  Cruz  Province  and  comprises 
exploration  “cateos”  and  “manifestaciones  de  descubrimiento”.    The  Joaquin  Project  is  part  of 
the 2006 joint venture with Coeur; they are the project operator and are responsible for funding 
exploration  and  drilling.    Initially,  a  total  of  four  mineralized  zones  were  identified  by  Mirasol 
geologists,  including  the  La  Morocha,  La  Negra,  La  Morena  and  the  Joaquin  Main  gold-silver 
vein and breccia targets.  Mirasol believes it has made a significant silver-gold discovery at the 
Joaquin property.   

To date, Coeur has completed more than 23,000 metres of diamond drilling at Joaquin.  Multiple 
prospects, including the La Negra, La Morocha, La Morena and Joaquin Main prospects, have 
been  drilled.  Coeur  holds  a  vested  51%  interest  in  the  project  and  has  elected  to  proceed  to 
increase  its  equity  to  61%  by  funding  all  expenditures  through  to  the  delivery  of  full  feasibility 
study.  Coeur commenced a major diamond drilling program of at least 12,000 metres, focused 
principally on infill drilling of the La Negra silver-gold and La Morocha silver deposits, designed 
to  confirm  and  add  to  the  published  resources.  An  initial  resource  was  published  for  the  La 
Morocha and La Negra targets in a news release dated May 9, 2011.

Santa Rita Property- Virginia Project 

The  Santa  Rita  property  comprises  “manifestaciones  de  descubrimiento”  and  exploration 
“cateos”, located in the northwestern sector of the Deseado Massif volcanic terrane.    

During  the  period  ended  December  30,  2009,  a  new,  high  grade,  silver  vein  zone  was 
discovered  at  the  Santa  Rita  property,  named  the  Virginia  zone.    On  January  6,  2010,  the 
Company reported initial results from 30 chip samples taken over a two kilometre length of the 
Julia Vein sector.  The average silver grade of the initial 30 chip samples was 645 grams/tonne 
(“g/t”) silver from the Julia Vein.  On February 16, 2010, Mirasol reported assays ranging up to 
3,170 g/t silver from rock chip sampling of the Julia vein and surrounding veins.    

Sawn channel samples (March 4, 2010) from all 58 Julia vein channels averaged 805 g/t silver.  
Ground geophysical surveys, including ground magnetic and gradient array IP were completed.  

Additional  press  releases  in  May  and  June,  2010,  confirmed  significant  silver  values  from 
additional  veins  parallel  and  surrounding  the  Julia  vein  called  the  Ely,  Naty,  Margarita  and 
Roxane  veins.    Outlying  veins  were  discovered  east  and  northwest  of  the  principal  vein  zone.  
The Virginia discovery has more than 9 kilometres of exposed or interpreted vein length.  

Drilling  in  2010  through  mid-2011  systematically  tested  1,780  metres  of  strike  length  of  the 
9,600  metres  length  of  veining  outlined  at  the  Virginia  Silver  District,  totaling  9,266  metres  of 
diamond  drilling  in  117  holes.  Drilling  defined  four  silver  deposits  at  Julia  North,  Julia  Central, 
Julia South and Naty Vein with potentially economic silver grades and widths, at a nominal drill 
spacing of 50 by 50 metres or closer. Mirasol redrilled a total of 22 holes to improve percentage 
core  recovery.    Results  from  the  final  14  re-drilled  holes  include  significant  silver  intersections 
with excellent core recovery, among them hole VG-6A containing 24.27 metres of 326 g/t silver 
with 96 percent core recovery, including 5.48 metres of 1,038 g/t silver with 98 percent recovery 
from the Julia North deposit.  At Julia Central, VG-50A contains 28.25 metres of 220 g/t silver 
with 98 percent recovery including 18.11 metres of 303 g/t silver with 96% recovery.  In addition, 
encouraging  intersections  from  scout  holes  drilled  at  Naty  Extension,  Ely  South  and  Martina 
(news release July 18, 2011) indicated several zones with a high priority for follow-up drilling.  

In October 2011, the Company commenced a new season of diamond drilling with the focus to 
test  new  veins,  vein  extensions,  and  expand  the  project’s  resource  potential  for  additional 
shallow oxide silver deposits. The 2011-2012 program expands drilling in the areas successfully 
tested by scout holes. Highlights (news release January 26, 2012) at Naty Extension included 
1.5 metres of 797 g/t silver in VG-096 and 2.0 metres of 214 g/t silver including 0.3 metres of 
1,195 g/t silver in VG-097. Martina Vein highlights included 3.8 metres of 155 g/t silver within a 
broad intercept of 25.4 metres grading 61 g/t silver in VG-119B, and 10.9 metres of 63 g/t silver, 
including 1.1 metres of 141 g/t silver, in VG-122A.  Ely South highlights include 21.8 metres of 
79  g/t  silver  including  1.9  metres  of  495  g/t  silver  in  VG-113,  and  18.2  metres  of  63  g/t  silver 
including 4.5 metres of 109 g/t silver in VG-111. New holes (VG-127 and VG-138) at Ely South 
(news  release  March  1,  2012)  demonstrate  an  increase  in  true  thickness  and  silver  grades  at 
depth.  VG-127  intersected  26.9  metres,  with  an  estimated  true  thickness  of  15.0  metres, 
containing 135 g/t silver, which includes 1.19 metres of 1,760 g/t silver. VG-138 contains 28.0 
metres  with  an  interpreted  true  thickness  of  18.4  metres,  grading  195  g/t  silver,  including  4.6 
metres of 493 g/t silver.  Final results from Phase IV drilling was published on June 25, 2012.

Claudia Property 

The  large  Claudia  Property  comprises  exploration  “cateos”  located  in  the  south-central  part  of 
Santa  Cruz  Province,  beginning  at  the  limit  with,  and  for  approximately  30  km  south  of 
AngloGold Ashanti’s producing Cerro Vanguardia gold-silver mine.  Initial exploration mapping 
of  the  La  Claudia  and  Claudia  II  cateos  identified  several  zones  of  veins  and  veinlets  hosted 
within silicified rhyolite and rhyodacite tuff units.  Sampling returned anomalous gold and silver 
assays from three discrete zones.  Assay results from a systematic channel sampling program 
returned values reaching 3.28 g/t gold with 15.33 g/t silver over 1.7 metres, and individual vein 
results up to 14.2 g/t Au with 229 g/t Ag over 0.7 metres were obtained in the “J vein” sector of 
the Rio Seco Zone.  (Further news of the Claudia Project was published in news releases dated 
August 3, 2006, November 1, 2007, January 8, 2009, and June 1, 2009). 

Mirasol  signed  a  joint  venture  agreement  with  Hochschild  Mining  Group  in  February  2007. 
Hochschild  completed  3,871  metres  of  core  drilling  by  December  2007.    In  December,  2008, 
Hochschild completed 3,011 metres of reverse circulation drilling. Drilling was designed to test 
both  outcropping  Cerro  Vanguardia-style  quartz  veins  and  covered  geophysical  targets.  
Although multiple mineralized targets were intersected, on April 7, 2009 Hochschild elected to 
terminate the joint venture.   

The  Company’s  2011-2012  exploration  at  Claudia  focuses  on  three  separate  prospects:  the 
Laguna Blanca – Ailen zone, the 15 kilometre Curahue Trend, and the Rio Seco vein zone. At 
Rio Seco, Mirasol has undertaken geological mapping, rock chip sampling, excavation of more 
than 53 trenches, a 10.7 square kilometer gradient array IP geophysical survey, and 11.1 line 
kilometres of pole-dipole IP geophysics (news release March 5, 2012).  Rock chip assays have 
returned  up  to  20.1  g/t  gold  and  34  g/t  silver,  and  saw-cut  channel  and  trench  sample 
composites s returned 0.7 metres at 13.9 g/t gold and 229 g/t silver and 10.5 metres of 1.9 g/t 
gold  and  22  g/t  silver  from  mineralized  zones.  A  geophysical  survey  at  the  Curahue  prospect 
(news  release  April  18,  2012)  defined  an  8  km  long  zone  of  gravel  covered  anomalies  that 
geological  evidence  suggests  is  an  extensive  vein  zone.  Rock  chip  samples,  from  locally 
sourced epithermal cobbles in an alluvial terrace that partially covers the zone, returned assays 
up to 2.0 g/t gold and 2130.0 g/t silver. Trenching through gravel and sparse outcrop has been 
carried out over the geophysical anomalies, and returned assays up to 0.9 metres at 4.7 g/t gold 
with 120.0 g/t silver from outcropping epithermal veins in bedrock, and up to 26 metres at 0.45 
g/t gold and 1.9 g/t silver from a veinlet zone.  

A 2,600 metre diamond drill campaign was carried out at the Rio Seco Zone in May, 2012, and 
targeted  gold-silver  anomalies  exposed  in  shallow  trenches  and  in  vein  outcrop  and  float 
material.  Results are pending.  

Espejo Property 

The  Espejo  property  was  staked  in  April  2006  and  adjoins  Pan  American  Silver’s  Manantial 
Espejo silver-gold mine to the south and southeast.  Exploration work includes remote sensing 
(satellite  image)  interpretation,  ground  magnetic  survey,  gradient  array  IP  geophysical  survey, 
and  geochemical  sampling  which  define  multiple  coincident  resistive  and  conductive 
geophysical  anomalies  on  strike  with  the  principal  vein  structures  under  development  and 
production  at  the  Manantial  Espejo  mine.    Additional  exploration  cateos  were  staked  in  2008 
which expand the property to the south (news release June 26, 2008).   

The  Company  completed  an  exploration  option  agreement  on  October  4,  2012  with  Pan 
American  Silver  which  permits  Pan  American  Silver  to  earn  a  51%  interest  in  the  property  by 
expending  US$4  million  over  four  years,  to  reach  a  61%  interest  by  completing  a  NI  43-101 
6 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
compliant  feasibility  study,  and  then  to  further  increase  the  interest  to  70%  by  providing  mine 
financing at commercial terms.   

La Curva Property 

The  La  Curva  property,  comprising  two  exploration  cateos,  is  located  in  the  eastern  Deseado 
Massif  and  has  year  round  access  from  the  paved  national  highway  and  secondary  roads. 
Surface mapping, geophysical surveys and systematic geochemical sampling define two gold-
anomalous  targets  with  associated  auriferous  (gold-bearing)  quartz  veins.  The  two  principal 
targets  include  the  Loma  Arthur  vein-dome  system  and,  Cerro  Chato,  which  hosts  gold-rich 
veins and silicified breccias, and additional targets which exist on the property.  The dome-vein 
setting is seen elsewhere in productive mining districts and at the Dos Calandrias gold system 
located  fifteen  kilometers  to  the  west.  (See  news  releases  of  April  1,  2008  and  February  24, 
2009). 

Sascha Property 

The Sascha Project hosts a gold and silver mineralized epithermal quartz vein system of low-
sulphidation  style  which  comprises  four  cateos  and  two  “manifestaciones  de  descubrimiento”.  
The  Sascha  Project  was  initially  included  in  the  Coeur  joint  venture  signed  in  2006.    Coeur 
initiated  drilling  in  March  2007  and  completed  19  diamond  drill  holes  totaling  approximately 
2,500  metres.    Results  from  additional  diamond  drilling  completed  in  October  2008  tested  the 
northwest extension of the Sascha Main mineralized vein zone.   

Results  were  deemed  by  Coeur  not  sufficiently  encouraging  to  merit  additional  work,  and  the 
property  was  returned  to  Mirasol  on  October  31,  2008.  All  environmental  reclamation 
requirements have been completed.  Additional mapping and new interpretation of drill results 
have defined a number of new prospective exploration targets at Sascha.  

Nico Property 

The  Nico  property  was  initially  staked  in  2004  and  expanded  in  2005  and  2006.    The  mineral 
property is held as “manifestaciones de descubrimiento”.  The property is located 40 km north of 
Coeur’s  Martha  silver  mine,  adjacent  to  a  provincial  highway.  The  central  mineralized  zone  at 
Nico  hosts  a  north-south  trend  of  quartz  veinlets  and  breccia  and  exhibits  a  silver-gold-
polymetallic  signature.    During  the  2007-2008  seasons  a  prospect-scale  ground  magnetic 
survey  and  gradient  array  IP  geophysical  survey  were  completed  over  key  targets.    New 
geophysical interpretation identified a felsic dome field which has not been drill tested.  The Nico 
main mineralized zone extends as a traceable geophysical structure for 2.5 km in length.  

On February 12, 2009, the Company signed an exploration option agreement with Coeur for the 
exploration  of  the  Nico  gold-silver  project  with  Coeur  as  the  project  operator.  The  option 
agreement provided Coeur the option to earn an initial 55% in the project by expending a total of 
US$2,300,000 in exploration over four years and making cash payments totaling US$ 250,000.  
Additional details of the agreement were published on February 12, 2009.    

Coeur  drilled  eleven  shallow  diamond  holes  in late  2009  at  the  Nico  Main  target  and  reported 
best results of 8.23 metres containing 0.43 g/t gold and 27 grams silver, including 1.25 metres 
of  2.21  g/t  gold  and  200  g/t  silver  in  DDH-11.  Coeur  returned  the  Nico  property  to  Mirasol  in 
January 2010, however the Company believes it remains underexplored.

La Libanesa Property 

The La Libanesa property hosts a hydrothermal breccia hill, “Cerro Plomo”, which contains high 
grade  lead-silver-gold  anomalies.  Cerro  Plomo  is  hosted  in  a  unique  rhombic  structural  block 
and is associated with radial dikes and peripheral gold-bearing veins.  La Libanesa was staked 
in  2006  and  the  property  was  expanded  to  five  cateos  during  2007,  Trenching,  geochemical 
sampling, mapping, a Mobile Metal Ion (“MMI”) geochemical survey have been completed with a 
regional interpretation of La Libanesa’s unique geological setting.   

In  2010,  an  AMT  ground  geophysical  survey  identified  a  strong  resistive  feature  near  Cerro 
Plomo.   An MMI soil survey identified an extended area reaching at least 400 metres east and 
west  of  Cerro  Plomo  which  show  highly  elevated  base  metals  with  silver  and  gold  anomalies. 
(News  release  dated  February  24,  2009).    Gold-silver  bearing  quartz  vein  material  has  been 
mapped which forms a radial distribution around Cerro Plomo.  

Rubi Property, Chile 

The Rubi copper property in northern Chile, covering 12,900 hectares, is strategically located 22 
km southwest of, and adjacent to, El Salvador, one of Chile’s giant porphyry-copper producing 
districts,  operated  by  Codelco,  the  Chilean  state  mining  company.    The  Rubi  property,  was 
staked  in  December  2006  and  in  2008  was  enlarged,  and  is  located  in  the  Eocene-Oligocene 
metallogenic  belt  which  hosts  some  of  the  world’s  largest  porphyry-copper  deposits.    During 
2008,  Mirasol  consolidated  its  mineral  land  position  at  Rubi  and  conducted  additional  detailed 
mapping, sampling and re-interpretation of the area’s geology.  An altered and leached lithocap 
returned copper and gold anomalies in surface and stream sediment samples and indicate the 
potential  for  a  porphyry  copper  (gold)  system  to  exist.    (News  release  dated  June  12,  2007).  
During  the  year,  the  Rubi  property  was  brought  through  "mensura",  the  most  secure  mineral 
property stage.  

Other Properties  

Mirasol  holds  a  number  of  early  stage  exploration  properties  which  are  prospective  for  gold 
and/or silver mineralization in southern Argentina and northern Chile. 

Mirasol’s Results of Operations 

For the Year Ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2011 

The Company’s net loss for the year ended June 30, 2012 was $16,142,997 or $0.40 per share 
compared to a net loss of $12,734,165 or $0.35 per share for the year ended June 30, 2011, an 
increase in loss of $3,408,832. 

Total  operating  expenses  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2012  were  $15,973,068  compared  to 
$12,608,421 in 2011, an increase of $3,364,647. The increase is primarily due to an increase in 
exploration  costs  ($11,599,329  in  the  fiscal  2012  compared  to  $5,843,196  during  fiscal  2011) 
due  to  the  Company’s  increased  focus  on  it  Virginia  and  Claudia  properties  in  Argentina  and 
Gorbea  and  Cindy  projects  in  Chile.  Professional  fees  also  increased  by  $141,027  ($325,528 
during  fiscal  2012  as  compared  to  $184,501)  due  to  additional  accounting  and  auditing  costs 
incurred  for  the  transition  of  the  Company’s  accounting  records  from  Canadian  Generally 
Accepted Accounting Principles (“Canadian GAAP”) to IFRS.  

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The above increase was offset by a decrease in share-based payments expense of $2,562,329 
($3,345,027 during the year ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5,907,356 during fiscal 2011) 
due to additional stock option grants in the prior year. 

All other costs remained consistent with those incurred during the year ended June 30, 2011. 

For the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2012 (“Current Quarter”) as compared to the 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 (“Comparative Quarter”) 

The  Company’s  net  loss  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2012  was  $3,537,826  or  $0.08 
per share compared to a net loss of $4,836,301 or $0.13 per share for the Comparative Quarter, 
a decrease in loss of $1,298,475. 

Total operating expenses for the Current Quarter were $3,566,229 compared to $4,968,793 for 
the Comparative Quarter, a decrease of $1,402,564. The decrease in costs is primarily due to 
the  decrease  in  share-based  payments  expense  of  $1,467,477  ($Nil  during  the  three  months 
ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,467,477 for the same period ended June 30, 2011). The 
costs  during  the  comparative  quarter  pertained  to  vesting  of  incentive  stock  options  granted 
previously and recording of relevant expense in the Comparative Quarter. The incentive stock 
options granted during fiscal 2012 had vested completely before the Current Quarter. 

All  other  operating  costs  remained  relatively  consistent  with  those  incurred  during  the  three 
month period ended June 30, 2011. 

The decrease in the operating costs was offset by a decrease in the Company’s gain from other 
items of $104,089 pertaining primarily to a lower foreign exchange gain in the Current Quarter.

Liquidity 

The  Company’s  net  working  capital  as  at  June  30,  2012  was  $7,070,129  compared  to  a  net 
working capital of $9,504,483 at June 30, 2011. The cash and short-term investment balance at 
June 30, 2012 was $7,823,870 compared to $10,114,703 at June 30, 2011.  As at June 30, 2012 
current liabilities were $985,207 compared to $780,033 at June 30, 2011.   

On  October  24,  2012,  the  Company  has  42,850,661  shares  issued  and  outstanding.  The 
Company also has 3,680,300 stock options, 2,000,000 private placement warrants and 200,000 
Underwriters’ warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $3.54, $4.30 and 
$3.30, respectively. 

Investing Activities 

During  the  year  ended  June  30,  2012,  the  Company  purchased  surface  rights  overlaying  the 
Virginia  project  for  cash  outlay  of  $2,480,198,  purchased  short-term  investments  for  $997,830 
and  also  purchased  exploration  equipment  worth  $118,091.  The  cash  outlay  for  purchase  of 
equipment  totaled  $140,198  during  the  year  ended  June  30,  2011.  The  Company’s  property, 
plant and equipment are principally to be used for exploration activities in Argentina and Chile. 

Financing Activities 

During  the  year  ended  June  30,  2012,  the  Company  closed  a  bought  deal  private  placement 
with the Underwriters and issued 4,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $3.30 per unit for 
an  aggregate  gross  proceeds  of  $13,200,000.  The  Company  paid  the  Underwriters  cash 
commission of $792,000 and issued 200,000 common share purchase warrants for purchase of 
common shares at a price of $3.30. Total cost incurred by the Company in relation to the private 
placement  was  $1,015,313,  inclusive  of  the  cash  commission  fee  to  the  Underwriters.  The 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Company  also  received  cash  proceeds  of  $786,426  from  exercise  of  certain  outstanding 
incentive stock options (20,000) and warrants (338,460).  

During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company received cash proceeds of $433,330 from 
the exercise of 653,200 options and $2,257,016 from the exercise of 1,447,020 warrants. Also 
during  the  year  ended  June  30,  2011,  financing  activities  provided  $8,704,214  from  the  net 
proceeds  received  for  shares  issued  pursuant  to  a  private  placement  which  closed  on 
December  7,  2010.    Terms  of  the  private  placement  were  three  million  units  priced  at  $3.10. 
Each  unit  consists  of  one  common  share  and  one-half  common  share  purchase warrant.  One 
whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase a common share of the Company for one year at 
a  price  of  $4.00  per  share.  All  such  warrants  were  either  exercised  for  common  shares  or 
expired during the year ended June 30, 2012. 

Capital Resources 

The  Company  has  no  operations  that  generate  cash  flow  and  its  long  term  financial  success  is 
dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits. The mineral 
exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s 
control. 

In order to finance the Company’s exploration programs and to cover administrative and overhead 
expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible 
securities (share purchase options and warrants). Many factors influence the Company’s ability to 
raise  funds,  including  the  health  of  the  resource  market,  the  climate  for  mineral  exploration 
investment, the Company’s track record and the experience and calibre of its management.   

With  working  capital  of  $7,070,129,  the  Company  believes  it  has  sufficient  funds  to  meet  its 
administrative,  corporate  development  and  exploration  activities  over  the  next  twelve  months. 
Actual  funding  requirements  may  vary  from  those  planned  due  to  a  number  of  factors.  The 
Company  believes  it  will  be  able  to  raise  equity  capital  as  required  in  the  long  term  but 
recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

Significant Accounting Policies 

The  details  of  the  Company’s  accounting  policies  are  presented  in  Note  3  of  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012.  The following policies are 
considered  by  management  to  be  essential  to  the  understanding  of  the  processes  and 
reasoning  that  go  into  the  preparation  of  the  Company’s  financial  statements  and  the 
uncertainties that could have a bearing on its financial results. 

Exploration and Evaluation Assets 

The  Company  capitalizes  the  direct  costs  of  acquiring  mineral  property  interests.  Option 
payments  are  considered  acquisition  costs  if  the  Company  has  the  intention  of  exercising  the 
underlying option.   

Exploration and evaluation costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time 
as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, in which case 
subsequent exploration and development costs are capitalized.  Exploration costs include value-
added taxes because the recoverability of these amounts is uncertain. 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ownership  in  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  involves  certain  interest  risks  due  to  the 
difficulties of determining and obtaining clear title to claims as well as the potential for problems 
arising  from  the  frequently  ambiguous  conveyance  history  characteristics  of  many  exploration 
and  evaluation  assets.  The  Company  has  investigated  ownership  of  its  exploration  and 
evaluation  assets  and,  to  the  best  of  its  knowledge,  ownership  of  its  interests  are  in  good 
standing. 

Foreign Currencies 

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity 
operates.  The functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mirasol 
Argentina S.R.L., Minera Del Sol S.A., Australis S.A., Gran Nueva Victoria S.A., Cabo Sur S.A., 
and  Minera  Mirasol  Chile  Limitada.,  is  the  Canadian  Dollar  (“$”).    The  functional  currency 
determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 
21, the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”). 

Any  transactions  in  currencies  other  than  the  functional  currency  have  been  translated  to  the 
Canadian dollar in accordance with IAS 21.  Transactions in currencies other than the functional 
currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions.  At the end 
of  each  reporting  period,  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities 
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing 
at  the  date  when  the  fair  value  was  determined.    All  gains  and  losses  on  translation  of  these 
foreign  currency  transactions  are  included  in  the  statements  of  loss  and  comprehensive  loss.  
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not 
retranslated. 

The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. 

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

(i) 

Impairment: The Company assess its investments, exploration and evaluation assets and 
equipment annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists.  Where an 
indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which 
is considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  These 
assessments  require  the  evaluation  of  events  and  conditions  that  indicate  impairment  in 
accordance with IAS 36. The Company has concluded that impairment conditions do not 
exist. 

(ii)  Share-based  compensation:    The  Company  provides  compensation  benefits  to  its 
employees,  directors  and  officers  through  a  stock  option  plan.    The  fair  value  of  each 
option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing 
model.    Expected  volatility  is  based  on  historical  volatility  of  the  Company’s  share  price.  
The  Company  uses  historical  data  to  estimate  option  exercises  and  forfeiture  rates  with 
the  valuation  model.    The  risk-free  interest  rate  for  the  expected  term  of  the  option  is 
based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the 
volatility  and  the  expected  life  determination  could  have  a  material  impact  on  the 
Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.  When the Company determines it necessary 
to  modify  the  terms  of  options,  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  is  utilized  at  the 
date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental 
change in value of the original option. The use of the option-pricing model and a change in 
assumptions  used  within  the  model  could  result  in  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
comprehensive loss for the year. 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(iii)  Warrant valuation:  The Company grants warrants in conjunction with private placements 
and  as  compensation  for  debt  financing  arrangements.    The  fair  value  of  each  warrant 
granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
Expected  volatility  is  based  on  historical  volatility  of  the  Company’s  share  price.    The 
Company  uses  historical  data  to  estimate  warrant  exercises  and  forfeiture  rates  with  the 
valuation model.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based 
on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility 
and  the  expected  life  determination  could  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
comprehensive loss for the year.   

(iv)  Recovery  of  deferred  tax  assets:    Judgment  is  required  in  determining  whether  deferred 
tax  assets  are  recognized  on  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Deferred  tax  assets 
require  management  to  assess  the  likelihood  that  the  Company  will  generate  taxable 
income  in  future  periods  in  order  to  utilize  recognized  deferred  tax  assets.    Estimates  of 
future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing 
tax laws in each jurisdiction. 

(v)  The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which the entity operates. That of the Company and its subsidiaries was determined by 
conducting  an  analysis  of  the  consideration  factors  identified  in  IAS  21,  The  Effects  of 
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. 

Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards 

The  Company  adopted  IFRS  in  accordance  with  IFRS  1,  First-time  Adoption  of  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”). The first date at which IFRS was applied was July 1, 
2010  (“Transition  Date”)  and  the  year  ended  June  30,  2012  is  the  Company’s  first  annual 
reporting  period  under  IFRS.  IFRS  1  provides  for  certain  mandatory  exceptions  and  optional 
exemptions for first time adopters of IFRS. 

IFRS  1  First-time  Adoption  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  sets  forth  guidance 
for the initial adoption of IFRS.  Under IFRS 1 the standards are applied retrospectively at the 
transitional statement of financial position date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities taken 
to  deficit  unless  certain  exemptions  are  applied.    The  Company  has  applied  the  following 
optional exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated July 1, 2010: 

(i) IFRS 3 - Business Combinations 

IFRS  1  indicates  that  a  first-time  adopter  may  elect  not  to  apply  IFRS  3  Business 
Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of 
transition  to  IFRS.  The  Company  has  taken  advantage  of  this  election  and  will  apply 
IFRS 3 to business combinations that occur on or after July 1, 2010. 

(ii)  IFRS 2 – Share-based Payments 

IFRS  1  encourages,  but  does  not  require,  first-time  adopters  to  apply  IFRS  2  Share-
based  Payments  to  equity  instruments  that  were  granted  on  or  before  November  7, 
2002,  or  equity  instruments  that  were  granted  subsequent  to  November  7,  2002  and 
vested  before  the  later  of  the  date  of  transition  to  IFRS  and  January  1,  2005.  The 
Company  has  elected  not  to  apply  IFRS  2  to  awards  that  were  granted  prior  to 
November 7, 2002. 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
IFRS  1  also  outlines  specific  guidelines  that  a  first-time  adopter  must  adhere  to  under  certain 
circumstances.  The  Company  has  applied  the  following  guidelines  to  its  opening  statement  of 
financial position dated July 1, 2010: 

(i)  Estimates 

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to 
IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, 
unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s 
IFRS estimates as of July 1, 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for 
the same date. 

IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. However, significant 
differences exist in certain matters of recognition, measurement and disclosure. While adoption 
of  IFRS  did  not  have  any  impact  on  the  Company’s  equity  and  cash  flows  from  operating, 
investing  and  financing  activities  as  at  July  1,  2010  and  June  30,  2011  it  has  resulted  in 
changes to the Company’s reported results of operations.  

In order to allow the users of the financial statements to better understand these changes, the 
Company’s  Canadian  GAAP  statements  of  loss  and  comprehensive  loss  for  the  year  ended 
June 30, 2011 have been reconciled to IFRS in Note 12 of the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements for the year ended June 30, 2012.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Certain  new  standards,  interpretations,  amendments  and  improvements  to  existing  standards 
were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or International Financial 
Reporting  Interpretations  Committee  (“IFRIC”).  The  Standards  impacted  that  are  applicable  to 
the Company are as follows: 

a) 

IFRS  7,  Financial  Instrument:  Disclosures  (“IFRS  7”),  Offsetting  Financial  Assets  and 
Financial  Liabilities,  was  amended  by  the  IASB  in  2011  to  require  information  about  all 
recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 
“Financial Instruments: Presentation”. 

The  amendments  also  require  disclosure  of  information  about  recognized  financial 
instruments  subject  to  enforceable  master  netting  arrangements  and  similar  agreements 
even if they are not set off under IAS 32. The IASB believes that these disclosures will allow 
financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, 
including  rights  of  set-off  associated  with  an  entity's  recognized  financial  assets  and 
recognized  financial  liabilities,  on  the  entity's  financial  position.  The  amended  standard  is 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently 
evaluating the impact of this standard. 

b) 

IFRS  9,  Financial  Instruments  (“IFRS  9”)  was  issued  by  IASB  in  October  2010  and  will 
replace  IAS  39,  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  (“IAS  39”).  IFRS  9 
uses  a  single  approach  to  determine  whether  a  financial  asset  is  measured  at  amortized 
cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on 
how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the 
contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  financial  assets.  There  are  two  measurement 
categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. 
A  debt  instrument  is  at  amortized  cost  only  if  the  entity  is  holding  it  to  collect  contractual

cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is at fair value 
through profit or loss.  

In December 2011, the effective date of IFRS 9 was deferred to years beginning on or after 
January 1, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 and will 
supersede  the  consolidation  requirements  in  SIC-12,  Consolidation  –  Special  Purpose 
Entities  (“SIC-12”),  and  IAS  27  (2008),  Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements 
(“IAS  27”),  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013,  with  early 
application  permitted.  IFRS  10  builds  on  existing  principles  by  identifying  the  concept  of 
control  as  a  determining  factor  in  whether  an  entity  should  be  included  within  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  parent  company.  The  standard  also  provides 
additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. 
The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

IFRS  11,  Joint  Arrangements  (“IFRS  11”),  was  issued  in  May  2011  and  will  supersede 
existing IAS 31, Joint Ventures (“IAS 31”) effective for annual periods beginning on or after 
January  1,  2013,  with  early  application  permitted.  IFRS  11  provides  for  the  accounting  of 
joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than 
its legal form (as is currently the case). The Standard also eliminates the option to account 
for jointly controlled entities using the proportionate consolidation method. The Standard is 
not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and 
is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in 
other  entities,  including  subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements,  associates  and  unconsolidated 
structured entities. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 
2013 with earlier application permitted. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on 
the Company in its current form. 

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a 
single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price 
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date.  This  definition  of  fair  value 
emphasizes  that  fair  value  is  a  market-based  measurement,  not  an  entity  specific 
measurement.  In  addition,  IFRS  13  also  requires  specific  disclosures  about  fair  value 
measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, 
with  earlier  application  permitted.  The  Company  is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of  this 
Standard. 

IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised 
in June 2011 to change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement to 
separate  items  presented  in  OCI  into  two  groups  based  on  whether  or  not  they  may  be 
recycled to profit or loss in the future. The revision is effective for annual periods beginning 
on  or  after  July  1,  2012  with  early  application  permitted.  The  Standard  is  not  expected  to 
have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”), as amended in 2011, is the standard to 
be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates when 
an entity elects, or is required by local regulations, to  present separate  (non-consolidated) 
financial  statements.    IAS  27  (2011)  supersedes  IAS  27  (2008)  and  carries  forward  the 
existing  accounting  and  disclosure  requirements  for  separate  financial  statements,  with

some minor clarifications.  The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning 
on  or  after  January  1,  2013.    The  Company  is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of  this 
Standard. 

i) 

IAS  28,  Investments  in  Associates  and  Joint  Ventures  (“IAS  28”),  as  amended  in  2011, 
supersedes  IAS  28  “Investments  in  Associates”  and  prescribes  the  accounting  for 
investments  in  associates  and  sets  out  the  requirements  for  the  application  of  the  equity 
method  when  accounting  for  investments  in  associates  and  joint  ventures.    The  Standard 
defines 'significant influence' and provides guidance on how the equity method of accounting 
is  to  be  applied  (including  exemptions  from  applying  the  equity  method  in  some  cases).  It 
also  prescribes  how  investments  in  associates  and  joint  ventures  should  be  tested  for 
impairment.    The  amended  standard  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after 
January 1, 2013. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard. 

j) 

The IASB amended IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” to clarify certain aspects 
because  of  diversity  in  application  of  the  requirements  on  offsetting,  focused  on  four  main 
areas: 

 
 
 
 

the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off;  
the application of simultaneous realization and settlement; 
the offsetting of collateral amounts; and 
the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. 

The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. 
The standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.  

k) 

IFRIC  20,  Stripping  Costs  in  the  Production  Phase  of  a  Mine  (“IFRIC  20”)  was  issued  in 
October  2011.  This  interpretation  provides  guidance  on  the  accounting  for  the  costs  of 
stripping activity in the production phase when two benefits accrue to the entity: usable ore 
that  can  be  used  to  produce  inventory  and  improved  access  to  further  quantities  of 
material  that  will  be  mined  in  future  periods.  IFRIC  20  is  applicable  for  annual  periods 
beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Standard is not 
expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. 

Management of Financial Risk 

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures 
and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below. 

i. 

Currency risk  

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange 
rates.  The  Company  operates  in  Canada,  Argentina  and  Chile  and  a  portion  of  its 
expenses  are  incurred  in  United  States  (“US”),  Australian  dollars  and  in  Argentine  and 
Chilean Pesos. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the US and 
Australian dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Argentine and Chilean Peso to the 
Canadian  dollar  could  have  an  effect  on  the  Company’s  results  of  operations,  financial 
position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.   

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At June 30, 2012, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets 
and liabilities denominated in US and Australian dollars and Argentine and Chilean Pesos: 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Accounts receivable 
Accounts  payable  and  accrued 
liabilities 

US  
Dollars 
750,356
19,680 

Australian 
Dollars

Argentine  
Peso 
4,140,902 
698,257 

Chilean 
Peso 
21,004,358
9,386,930 

(92,449)

(51,582)

(2,613,593) 

(45,707,389)

Based  on  the  above  net  exposures  as  at  June  30,  2012,  and  assuming  that  all  other 
variables  remain  constant,  a  10%  depreciation  or  appreciation  of  the  Canadian  dollar 
against the US and Australian dollar would result in an increase/decrease of $69,053 and 
$5,381,  respectively  in  the  Company’s  net  loss.    Likewise,  a  10%  depreciation  or 
appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the Argentine and Chilean Peso would result in 
an increase/decrease of $50,142 and $3,108, respectively in the Company’s net loss. 

ii. 

Credit risk  

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  an  unexpected  loss  if  a  customer  or  third  party  to  a  financial 
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  

The Company’s cash is held through large Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s 
receivables consist of harmonized sales tax due from the Federal Government of Canada. 
Management believes that credit risk concentration with respect to receivable is remote. 

iii. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as 
they  fall  due.  The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  through  the  management  of  its  capital 
structure  and  financial  leverage  as  outlined  above.  As  at  June  30,  2012,  the  Company’s 
financial  liabilities  consist  of  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  totalling  $985,207, 
which  are  expected  to  be  paid  within  90  days.  Management  believes  the  Company  has 
sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they become due. 

iv. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument 
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.  The risk that the Company will 
realize  a  loss  as  a  result  of  a  decline  in  the  fair  value  of  the  short-term  investments 
included in cash is limited because these investments are generally held to maturity.  

v. 

Commodity price risk 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  price  risk  with  respect  to  commodity  prices.  The  Company 
closely  monitors  commodity  prices  to  determine  the  appropriate  course  of  action  to  be 
taken by the Company.

Capital Management 

The  Company’s  objectives  when  managing  capital  are  to  safeguard  the  Company’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern  in  order  to  pursue  the  development  of  its  exploration  and 
evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital 
at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of 
equity. 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in 
economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust 
the  capital  structure,  the  Company  may  attempt  to  issue  new  shares,  acquire  or  dispose  of 
assets, enter into joint ventures or obtain debt financing.  In order to facilitate the management 
of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated 
as  necessary  depending  on  various  factors,  including  successful  capital  deployment  and 
general industry conditions. 

In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. 

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing 
investments with maturities of six months or less from the original date of acquisition, selected 
with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company is 
not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
