Sable Reports Drill Results Extending the Pyros Cu–Au–Mo Porphyry System, San Juan, Argentina

Sable Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SAE) (OTCQB: SBLRF) is pleased to report positive results from its most recent drill program at the El Fierro Project’s Pyros porphyry system, located in San Juan Province, Argentina. The drill program was undertaken between November 2025 and January 2026 and consisted of 11 drill holes totaling 3,466 metres. The program was fully funded by Moxico Resources plc under the Moxico earn-in agreement (see news release dated February 27, 2025).

Results from the drill program continue to define a large, continuous Miocene Cu–Au–Mo porphyry system hosted within Permian granites and diorite intrusions. Drilling to-date and the resulting integrated interpretation now outlines a mineralized footprint of approximately 720 m by 580 m, centered on an early mineral, strongly altered, barren-to-low-grade porphyry stock (Figure 1).

Interpretation of the drill data, combined with surface mapping, geophysics, and geochemistry, has significantly improved the understanding of the geometry of the system. Mineralization follows a coherent pattern, particularly along its western margin, and remains open to the south and to the north beneath sub-cropping Permian host granite. Strong molybdenum and copper soil anomalies, porphyry-style veining, and remnants of advanced argillic alteration indicate potential for further extension of the mineralized system (Figure 3).

Dr. Ruben Padilla, President and CEO of Sable Resources Ltd., commented,

“Based upon these and prior results, mineralization at Pyros follows a well-defined ring-shaped geometry, which has now been confirmed by multiple drill holes. This drilling has significantly improved our understanding of the system, which is evolving into a large and coherent mineralized porphyry system with defined higher-grade zones that remain open for expansion.

“Pyros represents one of the most recent significant porphyry discoveries in San Juan Province. It is located only 120km south of the Vicuña district, in one of the most prospective emerging mining jurisdictions in the Americas. Sable’s partner Moxico is encouraged by the results and quality of the systematic work completed by the Sable team. Our future drilling will focus on expanding the known high-grade zones, and the broader surface anomaly and untested targets to the south of the current drill area.”

Drilling Highlights

FZ-DH-25-92

Hole FZ-DH-25-92 was originally drilled in April 2025 to the depth of 401m ending in mineralization and then extended during the most recent campaign to a depth of 597m.

Geological Description

The Cu-Au-Mo mineralization intercepted by most of the drill holes reported in this news release follows a ring geometry elongated in a NNE direction. Within the ring, mineralization is hosted within different phases of Miocene diorite intrusions as well as within the Permian granite host. Varying mineral and alteration assemblages are observed within the mineralized ring including chalcopyrite, molybdenite, and sericite filling dissolution cavities, chalcopyrite and molybdenite disseminated or within veinlets in potassic altered diorites, and chalcopyrite cementing magmatic-hydrothermal breccias. The mineralized ring appears to surround a weakly mineralized high-temperature biotite-albite altered diorite core.

(A) shows a plan view that illustrates the two mineralized corridors with most of the recent drilling concentrated on the western margin. (B) shows an EW cross section along the main drilling fence showing the currently known geometry of the high-grade breccias intercepted on both flanks of the system.


Upside Potential

The current drilling defines a large and continuous mineralized system that remains open in multiple directions (Figure 2). Future work will focus on expanding higher-grade zones associated with magmatic-hydrothermal breccias and testing undrilled targets to the south, where geochemical and alteration signatures indicate strong potential for additional mineralization (Figure 3).

True width of the mineralization is unknown at this point. Copper Equivalent has been calculated using prices of US$4.00 per pound of Cu, US$3,000 per ounce of Au, and US$22.00 per pound of Mo. Given that no current or historical metallurgical studies are available, recoveries of 90% for all metals have been assumed based on comparisons with similar projects in South America and Canada.

ABOUT THE EL FIERRO PROJECT

El Fierro Project is located 250 km northwest of San Juan city, 120 km north of Sable’s Don Julio Project, and 110 km south of the world-class Filo del Sol porphyry system. El Fierro is a large (10 km x 10 km) Miocene magmatic–hydrothermal system surrounding the Pyros Cu-Au-Mo porphyry centre; Pyros was discovered by Sable during the 2021-2022 drilling program. Sable drilled 13 holes at Pyros in 2022, discovering a large, multiphase Miocene-age stock hosted within Permian granitic rocks. Multiple holes intercepted significant intervals of Cu-Mo-Au mineralization. On February 27, 2025, the Company signed a letter agreement with Moxico Resources, which grants Moxico an option to earn up to 51% of the El Fierro Project by completing a series of investments and payments during five years.
