/CNW/ - Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV:
SAE) (OTCQB: SBLRF) is pleased to announce additional results from Phase II diamond drilling
campaign at the El Fierro Project. El Fierro is a historic artisanal silver rich mining district located 250
km northwest of San Juan city. Sable completed the first drilling campaign ever conducted at El Fierro
in
May 2021
with a total of 3,278 metres in 25 drill holes, reporting multiple high-grade intercepts and
the identification of >14.5 kilometres of veins. So far, Sable has drill tested portions of the Fierro Bajo,
Fierro Alto
, La Verde, and Lagunitas vein systems. The current Phase II drill program commenced in
late
October 2021
and by mid December had completed 3,630 metres in 31 drill holes. The campaign
focuses on reconnaissance drilling to determine the full strike extension of the La Verde and Lagunitas
vein systems and to confirm vertical continuity down to at least 250 metres. In addition, Sable is
conducting some extra drilling on Fierro Bajo, and first pass drilling over other known veins.
Sable has received results from two drill holes, while 12 additional drillholes are currently being
analyzed by ALS Minerals.
Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable stated, "These continuing positive drill hole results confirm
that the La Verde vein is a high priority in our ongoing drilling program and the El Fierro project."
Highlighted Intercepts include:
Hole LV-DH-21-45
353.59 g/t AgEq (96 g/t Ag; 2.77 g/t Au; 0.13% Cu; 0.32% Pb) over

100.00m
Including
592.78 g/t AgEq (50.4 g/t Ag; 6.14 g/t Au; 0.1% Cu; 0.58% Pb) over
0.50m
from 98.00 to
98.50m
And
529.96 g/t AgEq (149 g/t Ag; 4.34 g/t Au; 0.12% Cu; 0.16% Pb) over
0.50m
from 99.00 to
99.50m
Hole LAG-DH-21-47
265.23 g/t AgEq (112.1 g/t Ag; 0.16 g/t Au; 0.19% Cu; 0.93% Pb; 2.07% Zn) over
1.0m
from
59.10 to
60.10m
Including
297.10 g/t AgEq (144 g/t Ag; 0.15 g/t Au; 0.24% Cu; 1.17% Pb; 1.77% Zn) over
0.5m
from 59.10
to
59.60m
Hole LV-DH-21-45 is located within La Verde central block
270m
west of LV-DH-21-08 which was the
best drill hole intercept from last campaign (see Sable news release dated
May 3, 2021
). Hole LAG-
DH-21-47 is the first hole received from a number of holes drilled at the Lagunitas zone and it is located
560m
SE of hole LV-DH-21-19 which was drilled last season and intercepted 87.31 g/t AgEq over
40.6m
(see Sable news release dated
August 24, 2021
).

ABOUT EL FIERRO PROJECT
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 four main known mineralized areas -
Fierro Alto
, Fierro Bajo, La Verde and
Lagunitas over an area of 8.6 km x 6.2 km. Three of the four 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. Prior to Sable's 2021 drill program, the Property had never been drilled. Sable currently
controls 58,510 hectares covering all the historically mineralized areas and additional highly prospective
ground over a large magnetic anomaly.

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 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-GRA22
which includes Fire Assay with gravimetric finish is applied when Ag exceeds 1500 g/t. Tritration
method is applied when Pb and Zn exceed 20 and 30%, respectively (codes Pb-VOL70 and Zn-
VOL50). Control samples (standards, blnks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically and their
results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
