Sable Defines High-Grade Silver Mineralisation over 2km by 500m area at El Fierro
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 12, 2020 /CNW/ - Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAE) is pleased to announce that it has received additional results from El Fierro Bajo zone at its recently optioned El Fierro project in San Juan Argentina. Mapping and sampling has identified four discrete outcropping structures (Vein A, Vein B, Vein C and North Vein) over a 2km by 500m footprint, open along strike in both directions. Veins A, B and C all returned assays over 1kg silver equivalent. Highlights of the new results are included below and shown on the Figure 1 location map.
"We are very impressed with the grades and continuity found at El Fierro Bajo. These at surface veins demonstrate high-grade cores with well mineralised halos of up to 7m," commented Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable, who added, "With these encouraging results, the Company plans on undertaking some additional sampling and geophysics to advance the project quickly to drill stage. Mapping will also continue on structures at Fierro Alto located 6km west of Fierro Bajo to define the full extent of this strong mineralised system."

The Company notes that these selected samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the El Fierro property. Channel samples have been taken from accessible places where the veins were not fully mined; grab samples were collected from waste piles outside of the adits. Sable will conduct additional underground sampling after rehab of some of the shafts.
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; 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 6km. 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 (see May 14, 2020 press release).

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 1500 g/t. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
