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.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華，2024年3月1日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）——Sable Resources Ltd.（“Sable” 或 “公司”）（TSXV: SAE | OTCQB: SBLRF）欣然宣佈該公司最近投注的新基層塞羅內格羅項目的初步勘探結果。Cerro Negro是一個早期項目，位於Sable的唐胡里奧項目以東50公里處，Challenger Gold的Hualilan項目西北35公里處，位於阿根廷聖胡安省明蘇德資源——South32赤塔谷項目東北34公里處。
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總裁兼首席執行官魯本·帕迪拉博士評論說：“Sable在正在進行的項目開發工作中認定了塞羅內格羅。該項目爲在已知肥沃地形中未開發的部分開採新的隱蔽銅資源提供了機會。我們運用了概念研究和系統的現代勘探技術，這些技術循序漸進地表明瞭尋找新的中新世盲斑岩系統的潛力。唐胡里奧的勘探計劃正在進行中，預計2023/2024年的勘探季節將在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 的投注依據是第四紀礫石下存在區域磁異常。紮下地面後，Sable進行了地質測繪，發現了中新世斑岩入侵的離散露頭；此外，Sable完成了兩條感應極化（IP）調查線（9km），在磁異常的西南邊緣發現了至少800×900m的顯著電荷異常；在IP調查的東北極端發現了第二條更微妙的充電異常。對現有露頭進行岩石採樣後，銅異常值高達 0.1%，這與奧陶紀沉積物中的小型石英碳酸鹽結構有關，含有微量的黃銅礦和氧化銅。對採集的岩石樣品進行光譜分析顯示，存在白雲母、亞氯酸鹽和附着物蝕變，所有這些都是斑岩環境的典型特徵。

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.
鑑於磁性和 IP 特徵與局部異常岩石樣本的重合，該公司決定使用部分提取的 MMI 技術（Mobile Metal Ion）進行土壤取樣調查，以定義垂直穿過礫石覆蓋層的離子金屬異常。該調查包括沿IP線收集的255個樣本，用於比較地球化學和地球物理響應。MMI結果顯示，在主要可充電性異常內和周圍出現了與斑岩相關的金屬，如銅、金、銀、鉬的持續顯著異常；傳統探路者如、錫、鈦、錫、硒、鉛、鋅在採樣區域的不同區域顯示出可變異常。

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 土壤採樣結果可以用特定元素的絕對值表示，但最好用響應比 (RR) 表示，它表示每個值超過背景的次數。通常，等於 2 或更小的 RR 值被認爲離背景級別過近，因此不是異常。背景回覆率的2到5倍已經被認爲是異常的（SGS，技術公告23，2005）。在Cerro Negro，金的響應比最高爲70；銅的響應比爲20；鉬的響應比爲75；銀的響應比爲96，不同的斑岩探路者的響應比最高爲2400倍，其中砷的背景值高達2400倍。圖 3 顯示了採樣線 6400 和 7200 上計算出的主要元素的響應比。
Future Work
未來的工作
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.
該公司正計劃將MMI土壤和地球物理調查擴展到整個地產，以確定鑽探目標，以尋找第四紀礫石下方的盲新世斑岩中心。

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND QA/QC
樣品製備和質量保證/質量控制
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.
在阿根廷採集的岩石樣本被送往ALS Minerals的子公司ALS Chemex Argentina位於阿根廷門多薩的工廠。分析是在他們位於秘魯利馬的實驗室進行的。樣品製備包括在最高溫度爲60°C的烤箱中乾燥，將樣品細碎至少 70%，通過小於 2 mm，使用裂紋分離器進行樣品分割，以及通過75微米將250 g的分裂物粉碎至至少 85%（代碼 PREP-31）。本新聞稿中包含的岩石樣品是通過 Au-aa24（火分析融合和原子吸收光譜法完成）和 ME-MS61（完成質譜分析的四酸消解）的方法分析的；後者包括 48 種元素（鋁、銀、砷、鋇、鈷、鎘、鈷、鉻、銅、鐵、鎵、鍺、氫、鋰、鎂、錳、鉬、鈉、銻、鎳、磷、鉛、銠、瑞、硫、銻、硅、錫、錫、錫、錫、錫、錫、錫、錫、鈦、鈦、鈦、鈦、鈦、鈦、鈦、鈾、V、W、Y、鋅、鋯）。兩種消化方法都能溶解大多數礦物質，但並非所有元素都是在某些樣品基質中定量提取的。系統地插入對照樣本（標準、空白和重複樣本），並根據公司協議對其結果進行評估。
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).
土壤樣本是按照 SGS 礦業推薦的協議採集的。樣本被提交到位於阿根廷聖胡安的SGS實驗室，隨後在秘魯利馬的SGS進行了分析。MMI 技術是一種局部提取方法，旨在確定處於離子狀態的元素。事實證明，MMI 方法對尋找埋藏礦化特別有用，文獻中可以找到多個成功的研究案例。提取後，對樣本進行54個元素的分析（代碼爲MMI-ME）。
