SABLE RESOURCES LTD REPORTS RESULTS OF 2017 EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT THE BAKER AND BOT PROJECTS
Sable Resources Ltd. has released the results of its 2017 exploration programs at the Baker and Bot projects.
Completed exploration activity at the Baker and Bot projects consisted of 2,192 line kilometres of high-resolution
helicopter-borne ZTEM (Z-axis tipper electromagnetic) geophysical surveys and a 220-stream-sediment-sample geochemical survey covering both properties in their entirety.
The results of the geophysical and geochemical surveys led to the recognition of many new target zones for
both epithermal- and porphyry-style mineralization with coincident anomalies that will be given a high priority
for future follow up ground-based exploration efforts.
The company also completed a six line km induced polarization survey, and a five-hole, 1,812-metre
reconnaissance-style diamond drill program to test previously recognized targets that were road accessible.
The five exploration holes returned strongly anomalous results in gold, zinc and copper over significant
intervals, hosted within highly altered intrusive and volcanic rocks. These long intervals of highly altered and
anomalous core may represent a classic rock alteration style typically found flanking porphyry copper-gold
deposits. The drilling occurred across a four-kilometre length of highly prospective ground centred on the past-producing Baker mine.
Located along the eastern limb of the Stikine Arch, Sable considers the Baker and Bot projects to be
significantly underexplored with similar geology, such as the Triassic-Jurassic unconformity, to the British
Columbia Golden Triangle. Exploration work completed on the Bot property has identified several targets for
both epithermal- and porphyry-style mineralization. In 1983 to 1984, Newmont mapped a siliceous sinter with a
dimension of 800 m by 100 m in the headwaters of a stream sediment catchment basin containing a multielement epithermal gold signature. Favourable geology is present including a rhyolite dome sequence
intercalated with dacitic tuffs and mudstones. To date no drilling has ever been done on this property.
Extensive fieldwork is being planned for 2018 on both projects. Applications to the provincial government
for exploration permits will advance after community consultation this winter.
Bill Yeomans, PGeo, is the company's qualified person with respect to the Baker project and has reviewed
and approved this press release.
