June 20, 2019
/CNW/ - Sable Resources (TSX.V: SAE) (the "Company" or "Sable")
is pleased to announce the discovery of base metal skarn mineralisation at their Don Julio Project,
San Juan Province,
Argentina
. The mineralisation can be traced for over one kilometre along strike
and returned channel samples of up to 7.91% combined Zn-Pb (3.17% Pb, 4.8%) over
1m
and
4.97% Cu over
1m
. Channel samples were taken perpendicular to the mineralised horizon and are
considered to represent true width.
Near end of the 2018-2019 field season, skarn mineralization was discovered by prospecting a 1.2
km long shallow to moderately dipping calcareous unit located on the northwestern boundary of a
porphyritic intrusive center. The unit is largely contact metamorphosed to marble with disseminated
garnets, amphiboles, epidote, and pyroxenes with multiple sub-parallel "manto" type sulphide-rich
horizons with galena, sphalerite, ±chalcopyrite and observed thickness ranging from 10cm to
1.3m
.
Ten additional samples are pending analysis. The geometry, number of mantos and metal zoning of
the system will be determined with detailed mapping and sampling during the 2019-2020 field
season.
Ruben Padilla
, Sable Vice-President of Exploration commented, "The discovery of the calcareous
unit and its associated skarn mineralisation is a good example of boots on the ground exploration
success. The size of the favorable calcareous unit, the observed degree of marbleization and
associated skarn and sulphide rich mineralogy define a high-quality early stage base metal target.

ABOUT SABLE RESOURCES LTD.:
Sable is a well-funded junior grassroots explorer focused on the discovery of new precious metal
projects through systematic exploration in endowed terranes located in favorable, established mining
jurisdictions. Sables' main focus is developing their large portfolio of new greenfield projects to
resource stage utilizing their Upper Level Epithermal Strategy. Sable is actively exploring the San
Juan Regional Program (48,000ha) incorporating the Don Julio Project in San Juan Province,
Argentina
, the Mexico Regional Program (1.26 Mha), incorporating the Margarita, Vinata and El
Escarpe drill ready projects and the Scorpius drill ready project in
Peru
.
ABOUT THE DON JULIO PROJECT
The Don Julio project area contains 8 of the 19 known Sable's identified anomalies within its San
Juan exploration program, located in the
Cordillera Frontal
of
Argentina
along the southern extension
of the prolific Miocene El Indio-Pascua Belt.
The Don Julio project area extends for approximately 12 x 10 km. The company had completed
1:2,500 scale detailed mapping over 7 of the 8 known mineral anomalies of the Don Julio cluster and
recognizing mapping in areas located between the main alteration zones. The mapping work was
complemented with 1,486 rocks samples and 283 talus samples, in addition 8 drill holes were drilled
(
3101 m
) in the Esperanza and Heaven Hill targets. The results of the extensive mapping and
sampling carried out by Sable's team identified various porphyry centers with associated large
epithermal alteration and mineralisation on the margins of the porphyry centers and one skarn
system. Final summary report of the 2018-2019 field season will be available when all the
geochemical analysis of samples collected during this season are receive.
QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL
All samples were collected by Company representatives under the supervision of the Qualified
Person and transported directly by the company to the lab. Sample preparation was carried out by
ALS Argentina at their laboratory at Mendoza,
Mendoza Province
,
Argentina
. Gold, multi-element
and Mercury analysis conducted in their laboratories in
Lima, Peru
. Sample preparation was by
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 gram split to at
least 85% passing 75 microns (code PREP-31).
Gold was analyzed by fire assay of a 50 gram sample split with detection by atomic absorption
spectrophotometer (AAS) (code Au-AA24). Multi-elements were analyzed by a four acid near total
digestion of a 1-gram sub-sample with detection by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission
spectrometer (ICP-AES) for 33 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, K, La,
Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn) (code ME-ICP61). This digestion
method dissolves most minerals but not all elements are quantitatively extracted in some sample
matrices. Mercury was analyzed by aqua regia digestion, cold vapor extraction, inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) with a lower limit of detection of 0.005 ppm (code Hg-MS42).
