Sabre Gold Drills 74.1 g/t Gold

Rhea-AI Summary

Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (OTCQB: SGLDF) announced positive underground drilling results from its Copperstone gold project in Arizona. High-grade gold intercepts were recorded, suggesting potential extensions of the D Zone. Key highlights include:

• RC P2F95: 10.7 m at 14.3 g/t, including 1.5 m at 74.1 g/t
• RC P2F61: 3.0 m at 12.0 g/t, including 1.5 m at 19.6 g/t
• RC P2E50: 1.5 m at 17.1 g/t
• RC P2F64: 1.5 m at 9.5 g/t

Assays from 80 of 83 sampled holes confirm high-grade continuity, with further results pending.

Positive

• High-grade gold intercepts indicate potential resource expansion.
• Drilling suggests the D Zone may extend further north.

Negative

• None.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (TSX: SGLD, OTCQB: SGLDF) (“Sabre Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce continued positive underground drilling results at its 100% owned Copperstone gold project located in Arizona, United States.

Mike Maslowski, Vice President of Technical Services and Exploration of Sabre Gold stated: “Results from what was known as the northern edge of the D zone continue to return high grade gold intercepts. The gold grades and continuity of the intercepts indicates the D Zone may extend further north. We are planning future underground development to establish additional drill stations to the north to test for the extension of this zone.”

Drilling Highlights Include:

• RC P2F95                10.7 m at 14.3 g/t includes 1.5 m at 74.1 g/t
• RC P2F61                3.0 m at 12.0 g/t includes 1.5 m at 19.6 g/t
• RC P2E50                1.5 m at 17.1 g/t
• RC P2F64                1.5 m at 9.5 g/t

Assay results for the underground reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program have been received on 80 out of the 83 RC holes sampled and submitted with further assays results pending. Holes were drilled from eight drill stations targeting the D zone and two stations targeting the C Zone.

Results reported in this release are from holes drilled along the known northern edge of the D Zone. Intercept values from this round of assays match the earlier results and continue to be high grade and carry across the modeled geologic zone. Drill station location and drill cross sections showing the drill holes follow in this release.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Statement

Procedures have been implemented to assure Quality Assurance Quality Control (QAQC) of drill hole assaying being done at an ISO Accredited assay laboratory.  Drill hole samples to be assayed are securely stored for shipment, with chain of custody documentation through delivery. Mineralized commercial reference standards or blank standards are inserted approximately every 20th sample in sequence and results are assessed to ascertain acceptable limits for analytical variance.  Duplicate samples will also be taken as a further check in lab precision and accuracy. All results will be analyzed for consistency and corrective actions taken, if needed.
