SABRE GOLD – 23% Mineral Resource Increase to Gold Ounces At Copperstone, Arizona
21 Septiembre 2021 - 6:00AM
Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (TSX: SGLD, OTCQB: SGLDF) (“Sabre Gold” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce an updated mineral resource
at its 100%-owned Copperstone gold project located in Arizona,
United States.
Highlights:
-
23% increase in gold ounces in all categories;
-
53% increase in Measured Resources to 196,000 gold ounces at 7.6
g/t;
-
45% increase in Inferred Resources to 212,000 gold ounces at 5.9
g/t;
-
The resource was estimated at a gold price of $1,700 ounce with a
modest reduction of 9,700 ounces when calculated at a gold price of
$1,600 ounce;
-
Underground mapping and sampling confirm that the mineralized
domains occur where previously modelled;
-
Drilling continued to demonstrate continuity in mineralization
within mineralized domains and delimited some domain edges where
step out holes were drilled; and,
-
Capping of very high grade intercepts were distinct for each
mineralized domain and based on conservative detailed statistical
analysis which will provide potential further upside.
Giulio T. Bonifacio, CEO & President of
Sabre Gold, stated: “We are pleased to release an updated mineral
resource estimate for the Copperstone gold mine which has increased
by 23% in all categories at an average grade of 6.6 g/t gold and
53% increase in the Measured category at 7.6 g/t gold from the
previously published resource estimate. The resource update
includes 152 new drill holes for 12,900 meters of additional
drilling. The primary focus of drilling was to focus on
classification and confirmation of the previous resource estimate.
We are pleased with the further increase in the Inferred category,
which will provide upside potential for future conversion.
Additionally, several highly prospective expansion targets that
have been recently identified remain untested."

Notes
(1) The effective date of the mineral resource
estimate is June 16, 2021. The QP for the estimate is Mr. Richard
A. Schwering, P.G., SME-RM, of Hard Rock Consulting, LLC. and is
independent of Sabre Gold Mines Corp.(2) Mineral resources are not
mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability
such as diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur
when material is mined or extracted; or modifying factors including
but not restricted to mining, processing, metallurgical,
infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social
and governmental factors. Inferred mineral resources may not be
converted to mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources are that
part of a mineral resource for which the grade or quality are
estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling.
Inferred mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic
viability and may not be converted to a mineral reserve. It is
reasonably expected, though not guaranteed, that the majority of
Inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to Indicated mineral
resources with continued exploration.(3) The mineral resource is
reported at an underground mining cut-off of 2.74 grams/tonne
(0.080 oz/ton). The cut-off is based on the following assumptions:
a gold price of $1,700 oz/ton, a mining cost of $68.04/tonne
($75.00/ton), a processing cost of $32.66/tonne ($36.00/ton), a
G&A cost of $12.70/tonne ($14.00/ton), a 95.0% gold recovery,
3.0% gross royalties, and a refining and smelting cost of $10.00
oz/ton.(4) Rounding may result in apparent differences when summing
tonnes, grade and contained metal content. Tonnage and grade
measurements are in metric units unless otherwise stated. Prices
are stated in US currency.(5) The number of modelled domains
increased to 48 from 42.
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate has an
effective date of June 16, 2021 and was prepared in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI-43-101”) by Hard Rock Consulting, LLC, based in the
U.S.A. A copy of the NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate will be
filed on SEDAR and on the Company’s website within 45 days.
Mr. Richard A. Schwering, P.G., SME-RM, a
Resource Geologist with Hard Rock Consulting, LLC, is responsible
for the Copperstone Project Mineral Resource Estimate with an
effective date of June 16, 2021. Mr. Schwering is a Qualified
Person as defined by NI 43-101 and is independent of Sabre Gold
Mine Corp. Mr. Schwering estimated the mineral resources based on
drill hole data constrained by forty-eight structurally controlled
domains using an Ordinary Krige algorithm. Five-foot downhole
composites were generated within the domain boundaries. Composite
statistical populations were examined for outliers by domain. Eight
domains with extreme outliers had those values capped. Twenty-eight
domains had outliers restricted within a percentage of the
variogram distance. Twelve domains did not show statistical
outliers within the populations and composites were not capped or
restricted. The Geologic Model and Mineral Resource Estimate were
completed using Leapfrog Geo® Software version(s) 6.0.5 and
2021.1.2.
The technical information in this news release
has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory
requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by
Michael R. Smith, SME Registered Member (Geology), who is a
“Qualified Person” as defined by NI 43-101 for this project.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
StatementProcedures 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.
