Fabled Continues To Define New Gold System, Hits Lower Feeder, which Returns 580.01 g/t Silver Eq, PLUS 19.90% Lead, 5.18% Zinc and 1.29% Copper
Fabled Silver Gold Corp. has announced results from its 14,200-meter diamond drilling program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico. New drill holes SM20-23 and SM20-24 have confirmed the presence of a lower feeder zone for mineralization. Hole SM20-23 reported significant findings of 18.64 oz silver Eq per tonne, along with notable lead, zinc, and copper values. Conversely, SM20-24 intercepted a low-grade structure, indicating minimal gold at that depth. Future drilling plans aim to further refine the understanding of the gold structure.
- Drill hole SM20-23 reported significant findings of 18.64 oz silver Eq per tonne.
- Drill hole SM20-23 also returned notable values of 437.8 lb lead, 113.96 lb zinc, and 28.38 lb copper.
- The drilling program continues to validate the structure's mineralization and remains open in all directions.
- Drill hole SM20-24 confirmed the presence of a low-grade structure with minimal gold at a depth of -275 meters.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2021 / Fabled Silver Gold Corp. ("Fabled" or the "Company") (TSXV:FCO)(OTCQB:FBSGF)(FSE:7NQ) is pleased to announce updates of the results of diamond drilling from the newly upgraded 14,200-meter drill program on the "Santa Maria" Property in Parral, Mexico.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, "We are pleased to announce drill assay results for surface diamond drill holes SM20-23 and SM20-24, please see Figure 1 below."
Mr. Hawley continues: "As assay results from this new gold domain system are received, we are refining the interpretation of structural controls as seen in Figure 1, which is an isopac contour of gold grade multiplied by thickness."
Figure 1 - Longitudinal View of Area of Current Drilling
The fence of holes SM20-22, 23 and 24 are located 75 meters to the west of drill collars SM20-19-20 and were designed to tighten up the interpretation or boundaries of the new Santa Maria gold structure. The drill holes targeted intercepting the structure at vertical depths of -175, -225, and -275 meters, respectively. As one can see, the interpreted mineral / structural thesis which includes gold mineralization is plunging 45 degrees to the west continues to be validated and remains open in all directions.
SM20 - 23
As previously reported, drill holes SM20-19 intercepted a large low-grade structure below a high-grade zone. Both holes SM20-19 and SM20-21 intercepted the low-grade structure at the same vertical depth of -225 meters which appears to contain little gold at this elevation.
In this case, hole SM 20-23 intercepted not only the structure but what is being interpreted as a lower feeder zone for mineralization and reported 18.64 oz silver Eq per tonne, 437.8 lb. of lead per tonne, 113.96 lb. of zinc per tonne and 28.38 lb. copper per tonne over a width of 0.80 meters.

SM20-24
As previously reported, drill holes SM20-19 intercepted a large low-grade structure below a high-grade zone. The same applies in this case. Hole SM20-24 intercepted the structure at the vertical depth of -275 meters below surface which contains little gold at this elevation and confirms the limits of the lack or little gold contained.

FUTURE DRILLING UPDATE
The fence of drill holes SM20-25, 26 and 27 are located another 75 meters to the west of drill collars SM20-22, 23 and 24 and were designed to again tighten up the interpretation or boundaries of the new Santa Maria gold structure, see Figure 1 above.
Drill holes SM20-25 - 29 have been completed and submitted for assay. Hole SM20-30 is in progress and sites for holes SM20-31 to 36 are planned, subject to assays results and structural interpretation.
QA QC Procedure
Analytical results of sampling reported by Fabled Silver Gold represent core samples that have been sawn in half with half of the core sampled and submitted by Fabled Silver Gold staff directly to ALS Chemex, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Samples were crushed, split, and pulverized as per ALS Chemex method PREP-31, then analyzed for ME-ICP61 33 element package by four acid digestion with ICP-AES Finish. ME-GRA21 method for Au and Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish, 30g nominal sample weight.
Over Limit Methods
For samples triggering precious metal over-limit thresholds of 10 g/t Au or 100 g/t Ag, the following is being used:
Au-GRA21 Au by fire assay and gravimetric finish with 30 g sample.
Ag-GRA21 Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish.
Fabled Silver Gold monitors QA/QC using commercially sourced standards and locally sourced blank materials inserted within the sample sequence at regular intervals.
