Planning Of Phase 2 Exploration Diamond Program on The Santa Maria Property Completed

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2022 / Fabled Silver Gold Corp. ("Fabled" or the "Company") (TSXV:FCO; OTCQB:FBSGF, and FSE:7NQ) reports that it has completed the planning for a Phase 2 exploration diamond drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico.

Peter Hawley, President, CEO reports; "As mentioned before, the past year of exploration diamond drilling, underground diamond drilling, definition diamond drilling, and finally surface mapping and sampling, has been not only aggressive, but has resulted in over 6,900 samples collected and analyzed. This massive input of data has led our stream lined analytical team to new important understandings of the structural and mineralization controls on the western sector of the property where approximately 80% of our efforts over the past year were focused.

Before we report our new findings, I would like to extend our thanks to our Project Manager Joaquin Rodriguez and senior geologist Edgar Rojas for their contribution to these important steps forward."

When the Company embarked on this project, we were of the opinion this was a low sulfidation epithermal system deposit and contained two veins of interest. The Santa Maria and Santa Maria Dos veins.

Following the completion of the Phase 1 drilling we have now had time to "stop chasing the bit" and have compiled the total data collected. Through analysis of the data generated many things have become clear.

The veins thought to be the Santa Maria veins are in fact mineralized breccias at the contacts or within diorite dikes. Furthermore, there are different generations of structural / mineralization controls and some of the 2021 exploration drilling intercepted one of the secondary mineralized dike structures which is the Santa Maria off-set to the northeast which remains open in all directions, such as the last hole drilled on the Santa Maria deposit on the western sector of the property, where we intercepted 21.90 meters grading 5.29 g./t Au in 349.21 g/t Ag Eq with an astonishing 4,821.98 g/t Ag eq with 86.10 g/t Au.

Using the valuable 2021 drilling information, we will apply the new structural interpretation and the Santa Maria signature and controls to the rest of the property, paying particular attention to the mineralized structures / breccias. Due to the association with the diorite dikes the present focus of sampling is the dikes, the mineralization found within or with a relationship to them.

Detailed field mapping and structural analyses led by our senior team including our Project Manager has resulted in the below, property wide interpretation in preparation for Phase 2 exploration drill targets.

As previously reported past surface sampling of the "Northeast Structure" has reported surface sampling of 1.25 meters of 72.12 g/t Ag Eq and 2.20 meters grading 116.20 g/t Ag Eq including 206.80 g/t Ag Eq over 0.80 meters. In addition, it is now realized that drill hole SM20-11 intercepted the Northeast secondary mineralized structure and reported 3 separate mineralized zones; Zone 1 from 62.80 - 95.59 meters grading 31.72 g/t Ag Eq over the 26.90 meters including 1.20 meters grading 110.11 g/t Ag Eq; Zone 2 from 101 - 103.20 reporting 118.57 g/t Ag Eq over the 2.20 meters and the third Zone which returned 3.50 meters grading 40.80 g/t Ag Eq.

The 2022 field work and observations for the final planning of the Phase 2 Exploration Diamond Drill Program. To support the drill hole targeting the following has been completed.

  • 258 new surface samples taken to date
  • 11,388 square meters of detailed geological mapping
  • 237 structural stations for detailed structural interpretations

The 56 sample results listed below are partial surface sampling results from the field evaluations using a 30 g/t silver cut-off, as there are too numerous results to report. See Table 1 below;

  2. North mineralized oxidized breccia system,
  3. North 2 Dike System and mineralized breccias
  4. North East breccia system
  5. Middle Santa Maria Deposit trend
  6. East Santa Maria Deposit trend

See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 - Santa Maria Property Exploration Mineralized System Targets

Fabled Silver Gold Corp, Wednesday, May 11, 2022, Press release picture

The designed exploration diamond drill program is in two phases, of which, the second phase is result driven based on first phase results.

Exploration Drill Target #1 is a stockwork quartz veining North - East mineralized breccia system, which was successfully intercepted in drill hole SM20-11, as discussed above. A total of 4 first priority holes for a total of 800 meters have been planned along with 300 meters in 1 hole as second priority. The results of the first 4 holes will determine if this area is followed up. See Figure 2 below.

Exploration Drill Target #2 is the north trending mineralized oxidized breccia system and the intersection of the north east breccia system which may create a dilation zone. Four first priority drill holes have been planned for a total of 1,220 meters and if successful an additional 1,100 meters of second priority drill holes have also been planned. See Figure 3 below.

Exploration Drill Pad Location Update

The exploration drilling pads / sites are presently being prepared in advance with ample water for surface drilling. The drill stations with the lowest environmental impact have been determined and any exploration drill stations outside the currently permitted area have been incorporated in to an amendment to our current drill permit and presently being with SEMARAT. While this process is on-going exploration drilling of the permitted sites is scheduled to begin mid June 2022.

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.

About Fabled Silver Gold Corp.

Fabled is focused on acquiring, exploring and operating properties that yield near-term metal production. The Company has an experienced management team with multiple years of involvement in mining and exploration in Mexico. The Company's mandate is to focus on acquiring precious metal properties in Mexico with blue-sky exploration potential.

The Company has entered into an agreement with Golden Minerals Company (NYSE American and TSX: AUMN) to acquire the Santa Maria Property, a high-grade silver-gold property situated in the center of the Mexican epithermal silver-gold belt. The belt has been recognized as a significant metallogenic province, which has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the world.
