March 31 2022 - 8:00AM
Sabre Gold Mines Corp. (TSX: SGLD, OTCQB: SGLDF)
(“Sabre Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a key
addition to its management team as well as further positive
underground drilling results at its 100% owned Copperstone gold
project located in Arizona, United States.
Management Team Appointment
Sabre Gold is very pleased to announce the
addition of Mr. Sid Tolbert as Vice President, General Manager to
the management team.
Giulio Bonifacio, President & CEO stated:
“We are very pleased to have Mr. Tolbert join Sabre Gold as a key
addition to our management team. Mr. Tolbert brings a wealth of
underground mining and management experience to the team while
remaining focused on safety and efficient operations. We look
forward to working with Mr. Tolbert as we advance the Copperstone
gold project into production in the near term.”
Mr. Tolbert is a mining engineer with more than
30 years of experience focused on underground operations and
engineering. Mr. Tolbert has held various Mine Manager and General
Manager positions with Hecla Mining Company and Klondex Mines Ltd.
Mr. Tolbert was instrumental in advancing Klondex’s Fire Creek Mine
from an exploration stage project to an operating mine. While at
Fire Creek Mr. Tolbert optimized mining operations by changing the
mining method to better fit the narrow character of the ore. He led
the transition from long-hole stoping to cut and fill and shrink
stoping where he reduced costs by an average of 40% per ounce,
increased production, and reduced dilution, all maintaining a keen
focus on safety with an exceptional safety record. Prior to
Klondex, Mr. Tolbert worked at Newmont Mining for fourteen years
starting as an underground miner before achieving his engineering
degree and advancing to Superintendent for the Midas Mine and Vista
Project. He holds Mining Engineering degree from the Haileybury
School of Mines and is a certified Project Management
Professional.

Mike Maslowski, Vice President of Technical
Services and Exploration of Sabre Gold stated: “Drilling results
continue to confirm the high gold and thickness continuity alone
strike and dip for these areas. The results also indicate strong
potential for the D Zone to extend further north than previously
anticipated. New drill platforms developed further north than any
existing underground access is required and being designed to
provide proper drill angles to define the northern extents of the D
Zone. This phase of drilling is complete and will now be used to
develop initial detailed mine plans for these areas.”
Assay results for the underground drill program
have been received on the final holes from the 2021 drill
program. Holes were drilled from eight drill stations
targeting the D zone and two stations targeting the C Zone.
The results on the final holes from various
drill stations in Panel 2 of the D zone continued to show the
high-grade gold continuity across the shear zone with the drill
holes spaced 6 to 8 meters apart. Drill station location and drill
cross sections showing the drill holes follow in this release.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Statement
Procedures 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.
