Sable Resources Ltd. Enters into Option Agreements for El Fierro Properties in San Juan
VANCOUVER, May 14, 2020 - Sable Resources Ltd. ("Sable" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAE) is pleased to announce that it has entered into two option agreements ("Agreement A" and "Agreement B" and collectively the "Agreements") with arm's length parties in Argentina for properties comprising the El Fierro Project. The Agreements each comprise 12 claims aggregating a total of 6,054 hectares. The El Fierro Project is located 250 km northwest of San Juan, Argentina and 120 km north of Sable's Don Julio Project in one of the best-known historical mining districts in the San Juan province. The El Fierro Project consists of two main mineralized areas, Fierro Alto and Fierro Bajo, both of which host a significant number of old mining workings where silver, lead, and zinc were intermittently mined since the late 1800's until the 1960s decade.
Under the terms of Agreements, Sable can acquire 100% of the El Fierro Project for payments totaling U$1,085,000 and U$1,025,000 respectively, payable as set out below:
| Date | Agreement A (USD) | Agreement B (USD) |
| On Signing | 15,000 | 15,000 |
| March 2021 | 35,000 | 35,000 |
| March 2022 | 75,000 | 75,000 |
| March 2023 | 100,000 | 100,000 |
| March 2024 | 860,000 | 800,000 |
Mineralization at the El Fierro Project consists of an undetermined number of structures with high grades of Pb, Zn, Ag. The area has not seen any modern exploration and has never been drilled. The only technical reports from the area date back to 1957 and 1960 and present historical assays as high as 20% Pb, and 1600 g/t Ag at Fierro Bajo; 4.7% Pb, 11.4% Zn, and 2185 g/t Ag over 1.5 width from Lagunitas mine at the Fierro Alto area; and 39.5% Pb; 17.2% Zn; 500 g/t Ag over 0.8m from La Verde mine also at the Fierro Alto zone. Sable notes that these values correspond to historical information and the Company does not know details about sampling or analytical methods. The Company further notes that the samples included herein are not necessarily representative of the mineralization at the El Fierro Project, however, they represent good indications of the style of mineralization and possible grades. Historical reports on the El Fierro Project will be available on Sable's website. The transaction is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable stated, "Given the historically known high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization, the acquisition of the El Fierro Project reinforces our confidence on the geological potential of the San Juan Province and strengthens our presence as an important player in this region," who added, "Sable has already started its exploration program at El Fierro which will include underground mapping and sampling, surface mapping and stream sediments covering the entire property."
In other news, the Company announces that it has granted, in accordance with the Company's stock option plan, an aggregate of 1,350,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company to recent director and officer appointments and new consultants to the Company. Each option is exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of five years, expiring May 13, 2025.
