VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV:SAE | OTCQB:SBLRF) is pleased to announce preliminary exploration results from its new grassroots Cerro Negro project recently staked by the Company. Cerro Negro is an early-stage project located 50km east of Sable's Don Julio Project, 35 km NW of Challenger Gold's Hualilan Project, and 34 km ENE of Minsud Resources – South32 Chita Valley Project in the province of San Juan, Argentina.
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华，2024年3月1日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——Sable Resources Ltd.（“Sable” 或 “公司”）（TSXV: SAE | OTCQB: SBLRF）欣然宣布该公司最近投注的新基层塞罗内格罗项目的初步勘探结果。Cerro Negro是一个早期项目，位于Sable的唐胡里奥项目以东50公里处，Challenger Gold的Hualilan项目西北35公里处，位于阿根廷圣胡安省明苏德资源——South32赤塔谷项目东北34公里处。
Dr. Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable commented, "Cerro Negro was identified by Sable during its ongoing project generation work. This project represents an opportunity for new concealed copper resources along underexplored segments of known fertile terrains. We have employed conceptual work and systematic modern exploration techniques that step by step keep suggesting the potential for finding a new Miocene blind porphyry system. The exploration program at Don Julio is ongoing with results from the 2023 / 2024 exploration season anticipated late March."
Sable总裁兼首席执行官鲁本·帕迪拉博士评论说：“Sable在正在进行的项目开发工作中认定了塞罗内格罗。该项目为在已知肥沃地形中未开发的部分开采新的隐蔽铜资源提供了机会。我们运用了概念研究和系统的现代勘探技术，这些技术循序渐进地表明了寻找新的中新世盲斑岩系统的潜力。唐胡里奥的勘探计划正在进行中，预计2023/2024年的勘探季节将在3月下旬取得成果。”

Cerro Negro was staked based on the presence of a regional magnetic anomaly under quaternary gravels. After staking the ground, Sable conducted geological mapping finding discrete outcrops of Miocene porphyry intrusions; additionally, Sable completed two lines (9km) of Induced Polarization (IP) survey finding a significant chargeability anomaly of at least 800 by 900m on the SW margin of the magnetic anomaly; and a second, more subtle chargeability anomaly on the NE extreme of the IP survey. Rock sampling on available outcrops returned copper anomalies up to 0.1% Cu associated with small quartz-carbonate structures hosted in Ordovician sediment and containing trace amounts of chalcopyrite and Cu oxides. Spectral analysis of rock samples collected shows the presence of white mica, chlorite, and epidote alteration, all of them typical of porphyry environment.
Cerro Negro 的投注依据是第四纪砾石下存在区域磁异常。扎下地面后，Sable进行了地质测绘，发现了中新世斑岩入侵的离散露头；此外，Sable完成了两条感应极化（IP）调查线（9km），在磁异常的西南边缘发现了至少800×900m的显著电荷异常；在IP调查的东北极端发现了第二条更微妙的充电异常。对现有露头进行岩石采样后，铜异常值高达 0.1%，这与奥陶纪沉积物中的小型石英碳酸盐结构有关，含有微量的黄铜矿和氧化铜。对采集的岩石样品进行光谱分析显示，存在白云母、亚氯酸盐和附着物蚀变，所有这些都是斑岩环境的典型特征。

Given the coincidence of magnetic and IP features with localized anomalous rock samples, the company decided to conduct a soil sampling survey using the partial extraction MMI technique (Mobile Metal Ion) to define ionic metal anomalies transported vertically through the gravel cover. The survey consisted of 255 samples collected along the IP lines to compare geochemical and geophysical responses. The MMI results show consistent and significant anomalies of porphyry-related metals like Cu, Au, Ag, Mo within and around the main chargeability anomaly; traditional pathfinders such As, Sb, Tl, Te, Se, Pb, Zn show variable anomalies in different zones of the sampled area.
鉴于磁性和 IP 特征与局部异常岩石样本的重合，该公司决定使用部分提取的 MMI 技术（Mobile Metal Ion）进行土壤取样调查，以定义垂直穿过砾石覆盖层的离子金属异常。该调查包括沿IP线收集的255个样本，用于比较地球化学和地球物理响应。MMI结果显示，在主要可充电性异常内和周围出现了与斑岩相关的金属，如铜、金、银、钼的持续显著异常；传统探路者如、锡、钛、锡、硒、铅、锌在采样区域的不同区域显示出可变异常。

Results of MMI soil sampling can be presented as absolute values of certain element but better expressed as a Response Ratio (RR) which represents the number of times that each value exceeds the background. Normally RR values of 2 or less are considered too close to the background level and therefore not anomalous. Response Ratios of 2 to 5 times background are already considered anomalous (SGS, Technical Bulletin 23, 2005). At Cerro Negro response ratios of up to 70 were obtained for Au; 20 for Cu; 75 for Mo; and 96 for Ag, as well as elevated values for different porphyry pathfinders including up to 2,400 times background for As. Figure 3 shows the calculated response ratios for the main elements along sampling lines 6400 and 7200.
MMI 土壤采样结果可以用特定元素的绝对值表示，但最好用响应比 (RR) 表示，它表示每个值超过背景的次数。通常，等于 2 或更小的 RR 值被认为离背景级别过近，因此不是异常。背景回复率的2到5倍已经被认为是异常的（SGS，技术公告23，2005）。在Cerro Negro，金的响应比最高为70；铜的响应比为20；钼的响应比为75；银的响应比为96，不同的斑岩探路者的响应比最高为2400倍，其中砷的背景值高达2400倍。图 3 显示了采样线 6400 和 7200 上计算出的主要元素的响应比。
Future Work
未来的工作
The Company is planning the extension of the MMI soils and geophysical surveys over the entirety property to define drill targets on the search of blind Miocene porphyry centers bellow the quaternary gravels.
该公司正计划将MMI土壤和地球物理调查扩展到整个地产，以确定钻探目标，以寻找第四纪砾石下方的盲新世斑岩中心。

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND QA/QC
样品制备和质量保证/质量控制
Rock samples collected in Argentina are sent to 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). The rock samples contained in this press 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 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. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically, and their results are evaluated according to the Company protocols.
在阿根廷采集的岩石样本被送往ALS Minerals的子公司ALS Chemex Argentina位于阿根廷门多萨的工厂。分析是在他们位于秘鲁利马的实验室进行的。样品制备包括在最高温度为60°C的烤箱中干燥，将样品细碎至少 70%，通过小于 2 mm，使用裂纹分离器进行样品分割，以及通过75微米将250 g的分裂物粉碎至至少 85%（代码 PREP-31）。本新闻稿中包含的岩石样品是通过 Au-aa24（火分析融合和原子吸收光谱法完成）和 ME-MS61（完成质谱分析的四酸消解）的方法分析的；后者包括 48 种元素（铝、银、砷、钡、钴、镉、钴、铬、铜、铁、镓、锗、氢、锂、镁、锰、钼、钠、锑、镍、磷、铅、铑、瑞、硫、锑、硅、锡、锡、锡、锡、锡、锡、锡、锡、钛、钛、钛、钛、钛、钛、钛、铀、V、W、Y、锌、锆）。两种消化方法都能溶解大多数矿物质，但并非所有元素都是在某些样品基质中定量提取的。系统地插入对照样本（标准、空白和重复样本），并根据公司协议对其结果进行评估。
Soil samples were collected following the protocols recommended by SGS Minerals. The samples were submitted to SGS labs in San Juan Argentina and subsequently analyzed at SGS in Lima, Peru. The MMI technique is a partial extraction method oriented to determine elements in ionic state. The MMI methodology has proven to be particularly useful for finding buried mineralization and multiple successful study cases can be found in the literature. After extraction, the samples are analyzed for 54 elements (code MMI-ME).
土壤样本是按照 SGS 矿业推荐的协议采集的。样本被提交到位于阿根廷圣胡安的SGS实验室，随后在秘鲁利马的SGS进行了分析。MMI 技术是一种局部提取方法，旨在确定处于离子状态的元素。事实证明，MMI 方法对寻找埋藏矿化特别有用，文献中可以找到多个成功的研究案例。提取后，对样本进行54个元素的分析（代码为MMI-ME）。
