Sable Resources Ltd. has reported results from a soil geochemistry survey at its Zorro Project in San Juan Province, Argentina, significantly expanding the known copper-gold footprint and identifying a new gold target ahead of a planned maiden drill program in the second half of July 2026.
Soil Survey Reveals Two Mineralized Domains
The company completed a 1,719-sample soil geochemistry program covering the central part of the Zorro claims. The survey revealed two contrasting yet spatially related mineralized domains: a Cu-Ag (Au-Bi-W) domain covering the western half and a Au-Ag-Zn (As-Pb) domain covering the eastern half of the survey area.
According to Sable, the results confirm and extend the footprint of the Zorro Copper and Zorro North targets, and highlight a significant new gold anomaly named Zorro Gold.
Western Domain: Copper-Silver Anomalies
The western portion of the Zorro intrusive complex, dominated by outcropping granite to granodiorite, presents a geochemical signature of Cu-Ag-Bi-W (±Au) anomalism characteristic of intrusive-related mineral systems. Two key anomalies were defined:
- Zorro Copper: A rock chip and soil anomaly extending approximately 800 meters by 500 meters.
- Zorro North: Soil data has extended this target's footprint to over 2,000 meters by 1,000 meters, with significant parts covered by unconsolidated gravels.
Eastern Domain: New Gold Anomaly
The eastern half of the intrusive complex, of contrasting dioritic composition, shows a Au-Ag-As-Zn and Pb geochemical signature related to quartz veins and veinlets. The new Zorro Gold anomaly extends for 1,600 meters by 1,000 meters and encompasses areas where previous rock sampling returned multiple plus-gram-per-tonne gold values, including samples of 7 g/t, 13.3 g/t, 34.7 g/t, and 140 g/t Au.
Additionally, the magmatic hydrothermal Zorro Breccia zone presents an erratic Ag-Mo-Zn-As geochemical signature that may represent leakage from a mineralized source at depth, the company said.
Upcoming Maiden Drill Program
Final preparations are underway for a diamond drill program in the second half of July 2026. The objective is to test five targets:
- Zorro Copper: Testing strike and depth continuity of main Cu (Ag-Au) structural corridors hosting chalcopyrite veins and veinlets.
- Zorro North: Evaluating vertical continuity, geometry, and grade potential of potassic-altered granitic intrusive with chalcopyrite in miarolitic cavities.
- Zorro Breccia: Testing vertical metal zonation from surface pathfinder anomalies toward higher-grade zones at depth.
- IP Anomaly: Investigating the source and geological significance of a newly identified conductivity and chargeability anomaly.
- Zorro Gold: Drilling may be initiated pending results of an expanded rock sampling and mapping program on this new target.
The Zorro Project is located in San Juan Province, Argentina, a prolific mining region. Sable Resources Ltd. is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SAE and on the OTCQB under SBLRF.
