Sable Resources Receives Final Phase 2 Surface Results from the Don Julio Project
Sable Resources Receives Final Phase 2 Surface Results from the Don Julio
Project
TORONTO, July 10, 2018 /CNW/ - Sable Resources Ltd ("Sable" the "Company") (TSXV: SAE) is
pleased to announce the receipt of the last pending geochemical assay results from the Phase 2 Drill
Target Definition Program at the Don Julio Project. Additional results were also received from initial Phase
1 reconnaissance in target areas located within the 35,000 hectare San Juan Regional Exploration
Program in San Juan Province, Argentina.
Table 1 shows the distribution of the rock chip samples taken in the Don Julio project during Phase 2 and
from reconnaissance work in other target zones located outside the Don Julio project area. In addition, 15
samples were taken for U-Pb, K-Ar radiometric age dating and whole rock geochemistry to constrain the
age of mineralizing events. Forty five percent of gold assays correspond to Heaven Hill and another 35%
are from other areas within the Don Julio cluster of anomalies. The remaining samples are from regional
targets located outside the Don Julio cluster.

Samples were collected this year, accompanying detailed geological mapping over an area of 5 by 5
kilometers characterized by fragmental volcanic rocks, hydrothermal breccias and domes affected by
high-sulphidation epithermal alteration related to a volcanic caldera. The purpose of the sampling is to
test gold anomalism of alteration at surface and define drill targets interpreted to be 200-400m below the
surface alteration.
This press release relates to the results from a new batch of geochemical analysis from 149 surface rock-
chip samples. 59 of these new results are from the Heaven Hill target, 27 are from a new target zone
within the Don Julio Cluster call Ugold where initial Phase 1 work was conducted. The remaining samples
are from regional anomalies with 41 samples from the Lodo Prospect, and 12 samples from the Silver
Valley target zone.
59 sample results were received for the Heaven Hill area. 38 returned values over 50ppb Au and 24
samples showed values greater than 0.1g/t Au with important values of Mercury up to 71.6 g/t, similar to
results for the area. 27 samples were taken from the new target area Ugold from several silica ledge
structures. Only 2 samples returned with values of more than 0.1g/t Au. The target is considered low
priority at this point.
Key Gold and Other Key Elements Values Highlights from the Don Julio reported for the last
samples received (all in vuggy silica and breccia dikes structures)

Regional Sampling
Reviewed during the last 2 days of the field season, Silver Valley is a possible Intermediate Sulphidation
target located adjacent to the Don Julio cluster of anomalies. The area is characterized by an intense
silica-illite alteration in an area where historical samples with more than 500 g/t sliver are reported. Two of
the 12 samples collected also report gold anomalies of 0.1g/t Au, associated with anomalous silver and
mercury. This area needs further Phase 1 work to identify and review historical samples containing more
than 500g/t Ag.
The Lodo Prospect represents a kilometric clay-silica alteration zone co-incident with a northwest trending
regional fault. Two sectors; Lodo North and Lodo South were sampled in this preliminary program.
Twenty-five samples were collected at Lodo North over 2.8 kilometers by 100m wide area with 2 samples
reporting gold anomalies of 0.3g/t and 0.15 g/t, and up to 12g/t Ag in silica-kaolin alteration. Pathfinder
geochemistry indicates a high erosional level with Mercury values ranging from 0.1 to >3 ppm and arsenic
values from 100 of up to >500ppm. More work is required at Lodo to define drill targets at depth.
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).

Program (1.5Mha), incorporating the Margarita, Vinata and El Escarpe drill ready projects and the BC
Intrusion Related Program, Canada (13,600ha) incorporating the drill ready Tulox Project.
ABOUT THE DON JULIO PROJECT
The Don Julio Project is defined by an extensive 5km by 5km Miocene lithocap located in the Cordillera
Frontal of Argentina. The lithocap affects a package of fragmental volcanic rocks intruded by dacitic
domes and phreatic breccias associated with and affected by an advanced argillic mineralizing event. A
large anomalous precious metal footprint is coincident with the lithocap and associated with the advanced
argillic mineralizing event. Field evidence indicates that the erosion level is high with high probability of
preservation of a mineralized system. Sable is working in a systematic way to model the hydrothermal up
flow zones that will define drill targets at depth. Sable believes Don Julio represents the southern
extension of the prolific El Indio-Pascua Belt.
