Sable Receives Additional Surface Results and Starts VTEM Survey at its Copper Queen Project in British Columbia

11.11.2024  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Nov. 11, 2024 - Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV:SAE | OTCQB:SBLRF) is pleased to announce that it has received additional positive surface results from its 100% owned Copper Queen Project in west-central British Columbia ("Copper Queen" or the "Property"). In addition, the Company has initiated a 520km VTEM time-domain survey covering the main target areas on the Property.

Highlights

  • An additional 40 previously unreported rock samples have been included in this new release along with results from the previously reported 97 rock samples that were collected within and around Breccias 1, 2, and 3 (see Figure 1).
  • New results include maximum values of 1.07% Cu; 27.7 g/t Au; and 100 g/t Ag. Selected results for the present and previously reported sampling are contained in Table 1.
  • Cu, Ag, and local Au mineralization is associated with the matrix/cement of magmatic-hydrothermal breccias. A mineral assemblage including quartz, calcite, chlorite, chalcopyrite, and local bornite is observed. The highest grades of Au are reported from quartz veins located peripheral to the breccias. The veins contain pyrite and local chalcopyrite.
  • 122 soil samples were collected on the upper plateau to the north of Breccias 2 and 3 (see Figure 2). The soil results suggest a northward extension of Breccia 3, and reveal at least three additional Cu anomalies (at >93rd percentile) that may represent mineralization concealed beneath soil cover.
  • Sable's team has additionally identified four new out cropping occurrences of copper (Cu-oxide +/- chalcopyrite) mineralization. Results from these newly discovered occurrences remain pending and will be released when available.

Dr. Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable stated, "We are extremely pleased with the composite results of our 2024 field season. Breccias 1, 2, and 3 and the surrounding area is becoming a significant, large-scale Cu +/- Ag-Au target. The VTEM survey which is now underway is our next step to understanding the geometry and geophysical characteristics of these Cu-rich magmatic-hydrothermal breccias."

VTEM survey

Sable has contracted Geotech Ltd. ("Geotech") to conduct a Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™) survey consisting of 520 line-kilometres along NS flight lines, covering and surrounding the surface expression of breccias 1, 2, 3 and 4 (see Figure 3). VTEM is a broadly used geophysical technique which has proven to be effective in revealing the subsurface extension of geological and mineralogical features associated with certain mineral deposit types. It is excellent for locating discrete conductive anomalies associated with sulphide minerals as well as for mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity associated with alteration haloes. The Company expects that results from the VTEM survey can map the geometry of the magmatic-hydrothermal breccias and that the resulting signature may be used to identify other targets within the survey grid. Geotech has already initiated data acquisition at Copper Queen and the results will be reported upon processing and interpretation of the geophysical data.

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND QA/QC

Sample preparation for projects in British Columbia is carried out by ALS Minerals, at its facility located in Kamloops with analyses carried out at their laboratory in Vancouver. 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). The samples contained in this news release were analyzed by methods Au-AA24 (Fire Assay Fusion and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry finish) and ME-MS61 (Four Acid Digestion with Mass Spectrometry finish); the latter one includes 48 elements (Al, Ag, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, Zr). Both digestion methods dissolve most minerals but not all elements are quantitatively extracted in some sample matrices. ALS additionally collects a subsample from the coarse reject to be analyzed by Terraspec; spectral data is sent to AISIRIS Australia to be processed and interpreted.

Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically, and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.

ABOUT THE COPPER QUEEN PROJECT

Copper Queen is located 225km west of Williams Lake in Central Western BC, and 25km NW of Sable's Perk Rocky project. Exploration work conducted by Anaconda American Brass ("Anaconda") between 1968 and 1969 shows the existence of quartz feldspar porphyries and at least five mineralized breccias within a porphyry system of approximately 4.5 x 2km. Anaconda reported drilling 182m in two holes in 1969, however, Anaconda did not file detailed information about the drilling but reported grades from 0.2 to 0.3% Cu in 6 to 25 meters intervals. Rio Tinto drilled two holes totaling 119m on the southern margin of McClinchy Lake following a chargeability anomaly where Cu mineralization was observed but the results were not significant. Minor sampling visits were conducted in 1982 and 1994, and a 900km VLF-EM and radiometric survey was conducted by Seaborne Minerals in 2011. No exploration activity has been performed at Copper Queen since 2011 and no mapping since the Anaconda times. Sable initially staked the Property in May 2024 and recently extended the Property to 13,880 hectares.

The Company notes that grab samples are selective by nature and therefore should not be understood as representative of the actual grades in the Property. Additionally, the Company clarifies that the historical Anaconda work on the Property is used only as a reference and that the original Anaconda reports or data have not been found.
