VANCOUVER, Sept. 15, 2020 /CNW/ – Sable Resources Ltd. (“Sable” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SAE) is pleased to announce that it has received new results from the Fierro Alto zone at the El Fierro project in San Juan Argentina.  More than 1.2 km of veining was mapped at Fierro Alto, defining two parallel structures (F vein and G vein) each outcropping for over 500 metres and three additional high-grade structures (J vein, K vein, and L vein) that will require further trenching for definition along strike. The Fierro Alto zone is located 6 km west of the Fierro Bajo zone where high-grade results were previously released by the Company (see Sable press release of August 12, 2020).

Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable commented, “These results confirm a second, well-developed, high-grade vein zone at the El Fierro Project, with similar mineralisation to that identified at Fierro Bajo six kilometres away.  We consider these areas to be part of a larger gold-silver mineralized district and preparations are currently underway to complete a geophysical survey to define additional vein networks both adjacent to and along strike the current project areas.”

Work completed at Fierro Alto consisted of 1:5,000 geological mapping and collection of 89 rock samples which are presented in Table 1. Mineralization at Fierro Alto is associated with sericite-silica-sulphide veins hosted within Carboniferous schists and Miocene ignimbrite flows. Results from the 89 samples show individual values up to 1,070 g/t Ag; 3.57 g/t Au; 1.4% Zn; and multiple values between 5% and 20% Pb, including five with >20% Pb.

The Company notes that selected grab samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted at El Fierro. The channel samples highlighted above have been taken from accessible places where the veins were not fully mined; grab samples were collected from waste piles outside of the adits.

Maps and tables with the details of highlighted results are available on Sable’s website (www.sableresources.com).  Silver equivalent is calculated considering a 100% recovery and based on prices of USD17.89 per Oz for Silver; USD 1,500 per Oz for Gold; USD0.86 per pound for Lead; USD1.08 per pound for Zinc; and USD2.80 per pound for Copper; when a width is shown in the results, the samples are channels perpendicular to the structures representing true width. 

The El Fierro Project is located 250 km northwest of San Juan, Argentina and 120 km north of Sable’s Don Julio Project in one of the best-known historical mining districts in the San Juan province.  The El Fierro Project consists of two main known mineralized areas, Fierro Alto and Fierro Bajo over a trend of 6 km.  Both areas host a significant number of old mining workings where silver, lead and zinc were intermittently mined since the late 1800’s until the 1960s decade; the property has never been drilled.  Sable recently signed two option agreements covering 6,054 hectares and the Company controls all the historically known mineralized zones at El Fierro (Sable PR, May 14^th, 2020).

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND QA/QC

Sample preparation for projects in Argentina is carried out by ALS Chemex Argentina, a subsidiary of ALS Minerals, at its facility located in Mendoza, Argentina. Analyses are carried out at their laboratory in Lima, Peru. Sample preparation includes drying in an oven at a maximum temperature of 60°C, fine crushing of the sample to at least 70% passing less than 2 mm, sample splitting using a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 250 g split to at least 85% passing 75 microns (code PREP-31).

Gold was analyzed by fire assay of a 30 g sample split with detection by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES); multi-elements were analyzed by an aqua regia digestion of a 1 gram sub-sample with detection by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) for 35 elements (Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn) (codes Au-ICP21 and ME-ICP41). This digestion method dissolves most minerals but not all elements are quantitatively extracted in some sample matrices. Over limit Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn OG46 analyses are conducted when samples exceed the upper detection limits; this method includes Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-AES finish. Method Ag-GRA21 which includes Fire Assay with gravimetric finish is applied when Ag exceeds 1,500 g/t. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
