Sable completed 1753m of core-drilling in six drillholes at Vinata North, geochemical results for 530 samples have been received from the first five drillholes. Based on the available results and the presence of compelling geophysical anomalies, the company has opted to increase the drilling program from 2000m to 4000m.
Surface sampling over
The low-grade gold argillic stratabound alteration is open in every direction except toward the East. Additional drilling will define the limits, geometry, and gold grade distribution of the argillic alteration. The additional drilling will also test the existence of a high-grade feeder with more classic epithermal boiling textures and dominated by illite, sericite, and adularia alteration. Additionally, some of the drilling will test a couple of compelling MAG and CSAMT geophysical anomalies located below quaternary gravels at Vinata North and Vinata South target zones. Drilling has resumed and will continue over the next few months.
"The presence of this large halo of argillic alteration with anomalous gold values intercepted in several of our drillholes strongly suggests that Vinata is a robust epithermal system that deserves further drilling to understand it properly and to search for the possible occurrence of the actual feeder of the system." commented

ABOUT THE VINATA PROJECT
The Vinata project is located in the Municipality of Chihuahua,
The mineralization at Vinata occurs as a series of quartz veins that outcrop along a strike length of 1,150m cutting rhyolite tuffs that overlie Cretaceous limestone. Identified via stream sediment follow up, the system consists of outcropping veins for approximately 1.2km. Quartz vein float extends additional 450m to the southeast and for more than 1000m toward the NW. The system consists of multiple sub-parallel veins and stockwork zones with epithermal textures over a width of between 15m and 170m. Individual veins vary in width from <1m up to about 12m.
ABOUT
Sable is a well-funded junior grassroots explorer focused on the discovery of new precious metal projects through systematic exploration in endowed terranes located in favorable, established mining jurisdictions. Sable's main focus is developing its large portfolio of new greenfields projects to resource stage utilizing their Upper Level Epithermal Strategy. Sable is actively exploring the
Sample Preparation and QAQC
Sample preparation for the
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. Control samples (standards, blanks, and duplicates) are inserted systematically and their results evaluated according to the Company protocols.
