VANCOUVER, BC,
Ten samples were collected during this preliminary review from three well-defined structures (Veins M, N and P) (see Table 1). Individual assay values reach up to 900 g/t Ag; 16.7 g/t Au; >20% Pb; 3.4% Zn; and 2.9% Cu whereas silver equivalent values are as high as 2,582.06 g/t AgEq. All the samples returned values in excess of 100g/t Ag, with strongly anomalous gold values in all samples. Lead exceeded the detection limit of 20% in five samples.

The three mineralized the structures strike west-north-west and show thicknesses between 0.2m and 2m. Structure M can be followed for 300m, structure N for 700m and structure P for 100m. All structures remain open in both directions (see Figure 1). More detailed sampling and mapping will be conducted over the coming months to fully understand the extent of the mineralized system.

Additional work is being planned for La Verde, including detailed geological mapping, additional sampling, and trenching. Mineralized structures at La Verde are hosted within Miocene ignimbrite flows and they exhibit quartz, sericite, barite with variable amounts of pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite.
The Company notes that selected grab samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted at El Fierro. The channel samples highlighted above have been taken from accessible places where the veins were not fully mined; grab samples were collected from waste piles outside of the adits.
Maps and tables with the details of highlighted results are available on Sable's website (www.sableresources.com). Silver equivalent is calculated based on 100% recovery and prices of

SAMPLE PREPARATION AND QA/QC
Sample preparation for projects in
Gold was analyzed by fire assay of a 30 g sample split with detection by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES); multi-elements were analyzed by an aqua regia digestion of a 1 gram sub-sample with detection by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) for 35 elements (Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn) (codes Au-ICP21 and ME-ICP41). This digestion method dissolves most minerals but not all elements are quantitatively extracted in some sample matrices. Over limit Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn OG46 analyses are conducted when samples exceed the upper detection limits; this method includes Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-AES finish. Method Ag-GRA21 which includes Fire Assay with gravimetric finish is applied when Ag exceeds 1500 g/t. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
