Fabled Continues to Intercept Northeast Trending Mineralized Intrusive
Fabled Silver Gold Corp. announced final results from its 1,400-meter underground drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico. The drill hole SMUG21-20 intersected a mineralized dike containing high-grade silver with an average of 22.08 g/t Ag Eq over a significant width. Additionally, SMUG21-21 intercepted 24.20 meters of weakly mineralized intrusive dike. The results conclude the Phase 1 drilling, successfully outlining new mineralized structures and expanding the high-grade areas. The company focuses on developing properties for near-term metal production in the region.
- Drill hole SMUG21-20 reported a significant intercept of 22.08 g/t Ag Eq over 16.50 meters, indicating high-grade silver potential.
- Successful delineation of various mineralized intrusive dikes and related breccia.
- The Phase 1 drilling program met its objectives, expanding high-grade sections of the Santa Maria Footwall.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2021 / Fabled Silver Gold Corp. ("Fabled" or the "Company") (TSXV:FCO)(OTCQB:FBSGF)(FSE:7NQ) announces final results from underground diamond drilling of the increased 1,400-meter underground drill program on the "Santa Maria" Property in Parral, Mexico, see Figure 1.

SMUG21-20
Exploration diamond drill hole SMUG21-20 was drilled at 0-degree dip or flat and was designed to test the continuation of a Northeast trending silver impregnated intrusive intersected in previously reported SMUG21-18, 200 meters to the southwest, and surface diamond drill holes SM20- 1,2, 3, 500 meters to the northeast as seen above in Figure 1.
As previously reported SMUG21-18 was successful in the interception of a wide, low-grade silver impregnated northeast trending intrusive dike, or finger, from 58 - 129 meters. This 71-meter intercept ended in mineralized intrusive dike.
Underground hole SMUG21-20 intercepted a reddish, oxidized breccia with limestone clasts over a 11.7-meter intercept starting at 37.8 meters. From 63 meters to the end of the hole at 100 meters a reddish, oxidized mineralized dike was encountered over the entire 37 meters. The dike contained 1 mm stockwork quartz veining with oxidized pyrite. From 63 meters to 79.5 meters the 16.50-meter intercept reported 22.08g/t Ag Eq with higher grade 1.50 meter intercepts of 56.06 g/t Ag Eq and 39.57 g/t Ag Eq, respectively. See Figure 2; Photos 1, 2 and Table 1 below;

This intercept is on trend with the intercepts of surface diamond drill holes SM20-1,2,3 which were collared 500 meters to the northeast and drilled in one fence or section. Hole SM20- 01 reported a broad zone of silver mineralization within the intrusive dike, such as 68.60 meters grading 53.24 g/t Ag Eq with higher grade intervals at a depth of -85 meters vertically. The deeper hole SM20-02 reported 6 meters grading 351.66 g/t Ag Eq at a vertical depth of -105 meters, and hole SM20-03 reported 12.50 meters of 110.51 g/t Ag Eq with numerous higher-grade intercepts at a depth of -300 meters. See Figure 3 below.

SMUG21-21
SMUG21-21 was successful in the interception of 0.6 meters of the remaining Santa Maria Footwall structure from the collar, or beginning, of the hole which graded 47.92 g/t Ag Eq. Please note that the collar of the drill station is in the mined-out section of the Santa Maria footwall.
This was followed by silicified limestone until 42 - 47.5 meters where the hole intercepted 24.20 meters of weakly mineralized intrusive dike.
From 60.8 meters to 63.3 meters, the 5.5 meter interval consisted of a greenish aphanitic dike transitioning to a mineralized oxidized limestone from 63.3 - 72.6 meters. A 2.5 meters intercept reported 20.87 g/t Ag Eq with 0.7 meters reporting 27.91 g/t Ag Eq.

FUTURE UNDERGROUND DRILLING UPDATE
These results conclude the Phase 1 preliminary underground drill program and as such all hole drilled have been reported.
The Underground exploration diamond drill hole program was successful in outlining or intersection the various objectives such as defining the locations of the various types of mineralized intrusive dikes and related breccia's in addition to expanding the high grade portion of the Santa Maria Footwall and ot Hanging wall structures.
Please follow our surface definition drilling program as results become available.
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.
