VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2021 / Fabled Silver Gold Corp. ("Fabled" or the "Company") (TSXV:FCO; OTCQB:FBSGF, and FSE:7NQ) announces the results of surface diamond drilling from the upgraded 14,200 -meter drill program on the "Santa Maria" Property in Parral, Mexico.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, "We are pleased to announce additional drill assay results for surface diamond drill hole SM20-37 which is drilled at depth under drill fence SM20-28, SM20-29 and SM20-30. SM20-37 continued to intercept the previously encountered dike and related breccia, and clearly demonstrates gold, silver and base metal enrichment, such as lead, zinc and copper, along with grade and amounts of sulphides, each of which are increasing with depth." See Figure 1 below.
Figure 1 - Longitudinal View of Area of Current Drilling
The fence of drill holes SM20-28, 29 and 30 were successful in intercepting the main gold structure, dike and related breccias at vertical depths of -100, -150, and -200 meters, respectively.
Hole SM20-30 intersected a base metal feeder type mineralization in breccia and correlates with hole SM20-29, 50 meters above and reported a grade of 1.57 g/t Au with 202.76 g/t Ag Eq, 3.68% Pb, 14.30% Zn and 0.14% Cu. See Photo 1.

SM20-37
Surface definition diamond drill hole SM20-37 was drilled from the same collar, or set up as previous holes SM20 - 28, 29, 30, at an angle or dip of -70 degrees for a total length of 366 meters. The target was to hit the feeder breccia zone and related mineralized dike at a vertical depth of -300 meters, -100 meters below the hole 30 intercept.
From 288.2 - 340.9 meters a weakly mineralized diorite dike was encountered over the 52.7 meters, except for a brecciated section. From 313.70 - 322.5 meters of quartz cemented, lithic poor, hydrothermal breccia hosted in the diorite dike with semi-massive to massive Sulphide mineralization such as sphalerite, galena, pyrite and chalcopyrite.
This 8.8 meter section reported 0.56 g/t gold, 81.82 g/t Ag Eq, 1.33% lead, 3.27% Zinc and 0.14% copper with numerous high grade section with silver credits as high as 225.68 g/t Ag Eq, lead credits as high as 3.33%, zinc credits as high as 8.38% and copper as high as 0.38%
See Figure 2, Table 1 and Photos 2,3 and 4 below.

Worthy of note are the base metal credits in addition to the gold and silver.

Definition diamond drill hole SM20-38 has been designed to drill down the dike structure to test the base metal feeder at -375 meters below surface, approximately -75 meters deeper than hole SM20-37. Hole SM20-38 drilled at a dip or angle of -75.5 degrees for a total length of 451.5 meters. Of particular interest is the behavior of the mineralizing system with depth, type of mineralization and related alteration halos. This hole plus holes SM 20 - 28, 29, 30 and 37 will give a comprehensive detailed view of this section and should provide high value material for resource consideration. See Figures 1 and 3.

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.
