Sable Stakes Additional Ground Along the Perk Rocky Regional Trend in BC, Canada
29 May 2024 - 9:00PM
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.”

properties (Copper Queen and Rusty Peak)with respect to the
recently optioned Perk Rocky Project.
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.

the Breccia 1 showing higher copper values associated to
chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization.
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.

Rusty Peak; B - Geological map of the Rusty Peak area;C - Sericite

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.
