/CNW/ - Sable Resources (TSX.V: SAE) (the "Company" or "Sable") is
pleased to provide additional results from the Fermin skarn project located within the Don Julio
cluster in San Juan,
Argentina
. The new results correspond to additional sampling sections located
north and south of the previously released intervals (See Press Release,
Feb 12, 2020
).
Zn, Pb, Ag, and Cu show consistent high values along the 1.9 km of strike continuity of the limestone
layer. As stated previously the alteration observed is characteristic of a distal skarn mineralization.
The company is now planning additional exploration to the west of this mineralized area including a
large geophysical survey looking for the potential Au-Cu porphyry/skarn core of the Fermin system
(Figure 1).
"We are very pleased with this new set of results, which are consistent with our previous sampling
and are likely the expression of a large Au-Cu porphyry-skarn mineralized system", commented
Ruben Padilla
, Sable's VP of Exploration.
For a better understanding of the results, the target can be divided into 3 zones (Figure 2): Fermin
Central, where most of the previously released samples are located;
Fermin North
; and
Fermin
South
. From today's released samples only Section G is located within the central zone; this section
shows the widest interval with highest grade of ZnEq observed so far at the project, with 7.26%
ZnEq over
21.4m
, associated to the hinge of an overturned fold affecting the limestones. Although
the limestone unit is strongly folded, samples have been taken perpendicular to bedding and can be
considered true width.

results are available on Sable's website (sableresources.com). Zinc equivalent is calculated
considering a 100% recovery and based on prices of
USD 1.08
per pound for Zinc;
USD 17.89

been incorporated in the calculation since the values are only sporadically anomalous.
ABOUT DON JULIO PROJECT
The Don Julio project area contains 8 of the 19 known Sable's identified anomalies within its San
Juan exploration program (58000 hectares), 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 has completed systematic geological mapping at
1:2,500 scale over all the known targets of the Don Julio cluster and recognizing mapping in areas
located between the main alteration zones. The mapping work was complemented with 1,825 rock
samples and 283 talus samples, in addition 8 drill holes were drilled (
3101 m
) at the Esperanza and
Heaven Hill targets. The results of the extensive mapping and sampling carried out by Sable's team
identified various magmatic centers with associated large hydrothermal alteration and different styles
of mineralization including Au-Cu porphyry; IS/HS epithermal; and skarn.
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. Sable's main focus is developing its large portfolio of new greenfields projects to
resource stage utilizing their Upper Level Epithermal Strategy. Sable is actively exploring the San
Juan Regional Program (58,000ha) incorporating the Don Julio Project in San Juan
Province, Argentina; the Mexico Regional Program (1.16Mha in application, 39,000ha titled)
incorporating the Margarita, Vinata and El Escarpe projects; and the Scorpius Project in Ayacucho,
Peru
.
Sample Preparation and QAQC
Sample preparation for the Don Julio Project is carried out by ALS Chemex Argentina, a subsidiary
of ALS Minerals, at their 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. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted
systematically and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
