Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV:SAE | OTCQB:SBLRF) is pleased to announce that it has staked 4,806 hectares of prospective ground in two properties located NW and SE of the Perk Rocky Project in British Columbia.

Dr. Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable stated, “Following the Company’s entering into the option agreement for the Perk Rocky Project, Sable is pursuing additional opportunities along this and other underexplored porphyry belts. The Copper Queen and Rusty Peak properties show favorable geology with historically known evidence of porphyry mineralization. The acquisition of this is prospective ground building a copper portfolio in British Columbia represents a perfect combination for our already solid pipeline of porphyry projects in Argentina.”

Copper Queen Property

  • The Copper Queen property (2,864 ha) is located 25km NW of the Perk Rocky land package and was previously explored by Anaconda American Brass (“Anaconda”), Rinto Tinto Group (“Rio Tinto”) and Seaborne Minerals Inc. (“Seaborne”). No exploration activity has been undertaken on the property since 2011 and no mapping since the late 60’s.
  • Exploration work conducted by Anaconda American Brass (“Anaconda”) between 1968 and 1969 shows the existence of quartz feldspar porphyries and at least five mineralized diatreme breccias within a porphyry system of approximately 4.5 x 2km.
  • Only rock results available come from work in 1982 at the Breccia 1 including several samples >0.5% Cu up to 0.75% Cu associated with chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization.
  • Anaconda reported drilling 182m in two holes in 1969 and reported grades from 0.2 to 0.3% Cu in 6 to 25 metres intervals however they did not file detailed information about the drilling.
  • Rio Tinto drilled two holes totaling 119m on the southern margin of McClinchy Lake following a chargeability anomaly with Cu mineralization observed but insignificant results.
  • Minor sampling visits were conducted in 1982 and 1994, and a 900km VLF-EM and radiometric survey was conducted by Seaborne in 2011.

Rusty Peak Property

  • The Rusty Peak property comprises a large colour anomaly located on the southern margin of a Cretaceous stock which intrudes Cretaceous volcanic rocks.
  • A porphyry occurrence “the K showing” is located on the SW margin of the stock and work conducted by Cities Service Minerals Corp. in 1973 revealed quartz monzonite and granodiorite dykes with sericite, biotite, and epidote alteration, as well as quartz-magnetite stockwork.
  • ASTER and Sentinel spectral work conducted in 2022 shows the existence of sericite, illite, alunite, kaolinite, and iron oxides within the color anomaly. This combination of alteration minerals suggests advanced argillic alteration transitioning to sericitic within a porphyry environment.

Sable plans on conducting basic field work at Copper Queen to properly map and sample the mineralized breccias and to define the entire porphyry system present there. At Rusty Peak, the Company plans to review the alteration zone to confirm the assemblages suggested by the ASTER and to look for additional porphyry evidence such as veinlets, dykes, breccias, and Cu mineralization out of the K showing.
