Quick Summary

Sable Resources Ltd., with funding from Moxico Resources plc, will conduct an exploration program at the El Fierro Project in San Juan Province, Argentina, starting November 2026. The program includes a 3,500-meter diamond drilling phase and a Spartan Magnetotelluric geophysical survey to be conducted by Quantec Geoscience. The aim is to explore underexplored areas of the El Fierro property and generate new targets for mineralization beyond the known Pyros porphyry system.

Story summary

Sable Resources Ltd., a company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, has announced an exploration program funded by its partner Moxico Resources plc for the El Fierro Project located in San Juan Province, Argentina. The program includes regional geological reconnaissance and target generation across underexplored areas of the project site. It also features a Spartan Magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical survey conducted by Quantec Geoscience to cover the entire Pyros porphyry system with a vertical penetration up to 2km. Additionally, Sable plans to carry out 3,500 metres of diamond drilling at the Pyros Cu-Au-Mo system. The focus will be on the southwestern portion of the El Fierro land package, an area that has seen limited detailed exploration previously. This initiative aims to evaluate additional prospective areas and generate new targets outside the known mineralized zones, enhancing Sable's understanding of potential resources within its expansive property.
