VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 30, 2020 /CNW/ - Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAE) (OTCQB: SBLRF) is pleased to announce that it has received preliminary results from a newly discovered zone at El Fierro Project in San Juan, Argentina. The La Verde zone is located 3 km north of the Fierro Alto zone and 8 km north of Fierro Bajo where high-grade results were recently released by the Company (see press releases of August 12 and September 15, 2020).
Ten samples were collected during this preliminary review from three well-defined structures (Veins M, N and P) (see Table 1). Individual assay values reach up to 900 g/t Ag; 16.7 g/t Au; >20% Pb; 3.4% Zn; and 2.9% Cu whereas silver equivalent values are as high as 2,582.06 g/t AgEq. All the samples returned values in excess of 100g/t Ag, with strongly anomalous gold values in all samples. Lead exceeded the detection limit of 20% in five samples.

Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable stated, "The discovery of the La Verde zone confirms that El Fierro is a district scale mineral system with at least three high-grade zones defining an 8 kilometre by 4 kilometre footprint. Sable plans to aggressively explore for additional zones while we move to drill phase on these three mineralized centres - Fierro Bajo, Fierro Alto and now La Verde."
The three mineralized the structures strike west-north-west and show thicknesses between 0.2m and 2m. Structure M can be followed for 300m, structure N for 700m and structure P for 100m. All structures remain open in both directions (see Figure 1). More detailed sampling and mapping will be conducted over the coming months to fully understand the extent of the mineralized system.

Additional work is being planned for La Verde, including detailed geological mapping, additional sampling, and trenching. Mineralized structures at La Verde are hosted within Miocene ignimbrite flows and they exhibit quartz, sericite, barite with variable amounts of pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite.
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 based on 100% recovery and prices of USD 17.89 per oz for silver; USD 1,500 per oz for gold; USD 0.86 per pound for lead; USD 1.08 per pound for zinc; and USD 2.80 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 San Juan province. The El Fierro Project consists of three main known mineralized areas, Fierro Alto, Fierro Bajo, and La Verde over an area of 8km by 4km. The three areas host a number of old artisanal 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 press release of May 14, 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 1500 g/t. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
