Saville Resources Inc. Returns 0.67% Nb2O5 over 27.0 m, Including 1.03% Nb2O5 over 5.3 m at the Niobium Claim Group Property, Quebec

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2019 / Saville Resources Inc. (TSXv: SRE, FSE: S0J) (the "Company" or "Saville") is pleased to announce additional drill intersections of strong niobium mineralization at the Mallard Target within its Niobium Claim Group Property (the "Property"), Quebec. Sample assays for drill holes EC19-172 and 173 are now received and have returned 0.67% Nb2O5 over 27.0 m, including 1.03% Nb2O5 over 5.3 m (EC19-172), and 0.66% Nb2O5 over 14.5 m, including 0.78% Nb2O5 over 8.8 m (EC19-173). In addition, the widest high-grade tantalum intercept to date on the Property was returned from drill hole EC19-172 at 274 ppm Ta2O5 over 100.8 m, including 373 ppm Ta2O5 over 46.7 m.

Drill hole EC19-172 bottomed in mineralization at a depth of 240.0 m (core length) with the final sample assaying 0.78% Nb2O5 over 1.5 m. This drill hole was positioned to undercut EC19-171 and the success of both holes indicate that mineralization has significant depth and strike length potential. Further, coupled with drill hole EC19-171, which also bottomed in mineralization, as well as the numerous mineralized intersections at depth in historical holes, collectively indicate a large and robust niobium mineralized system is present at Mallard.

The results of the 2019 drill program to date have significantly expanded the near-surface niobium mineralized zone, initially identified historically in 2010, at least 60 m to the southeast of drill hole EC10-033. At Mallard, the mineralization is interpreted to extend from surface and form several elongate northwest striking horizons that remain open in all directions. Drill holes EC19-171 and 172 have significantly expanded the mineralized strike length to the southeast, while drill hole EC19-173 located further along strike to the northwest support continued potential in that direction towards the Spoke and Miranna Targets. In addition, the recent 2019 drill results further demonstrate a strong tantalum component/zonation associated with the niobium mineralization is present.

A summary of the analytical results is presented below in Table 1 as well as a map with hole locations at the link below.

Table 1: Summary of mineralized intercepts for drill holes EC19-172, and 173

(1) Analytical detection limits are 0.003% (30 ppm) for Nb2O5 and Ta2O5, and 0.01% for P2O5.
(2) Fluorine analysis yet to be completed.
(3) All drill holes are NQ core size, with approximate strike/dip of 230/45
(4) True width is not fully constrained; however, the dip of mineralization is interpreted as moderate/steep to the northeast. Incorporation of the 2019 drill data is anticipated to provide a proper basis for true width to be reasonably estimated.

The Mallard Target is the most advanced prospect on the Property, with 2,490 m over nine (9) drill holes completed historically (2008 and 2010), and 1,049 m over five (5) drill holes now completed by the Company (2019). Coupled with the strong mineralization returned historically, the Company's Phase I drill program at Mallard will provide the foundation for advancement towards an initial mineral resource estimate. Further drilling at Mallard as well as several other high-priority targets, including Miranna, is planned as part of Phase II. The 2019 exploration of the Property is being carried out by Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. and managed out of Quebec.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC)

A Quality Assurance / Quality Control protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the program and included systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials into sample batches, as well as collection of quarter-core duplicates, at a rate of approximately 5%. Drill holes EC19-171, 172, 173, and 174A were sampled in their entirety, for a total of 764 samples including QAQC, and were shipped to Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, ON for analysis. No samples were collected from EC19-174 as it was unexpectedly lost at a depth of 81 m and recollared as EC19-174A.

Lab analysis included niobium, tantalum, and major oxides by XRF (package 8-Coltan XRF). Standard drill core sample preparation was completed and comprised of crushing to 80% passing 10 mesh, followed by a 250 g riffle split and pulverizing to 95% passing 105 µ (package RX1). Additional sample analysis is anticipated.

About Saville Resources Inc.

The Company's principal asset is the Niobium Claim Group Property, situated within the central Labrador Trough, Quebec, and currently under Earn-In Agreement from Commerce Resources Corp. for up to a 75% interest. The Property consists of 26 contiguous mineral claims, encompassing an area of approximately 1,223 hectares, and is considered highly prospective for niobium and tantalum. The Property includes portions of the high-priority, and drill ready, Miranna Target where prior boulder sampling in the area has returned 5.9% Nb2O5 and 1,220 ppm Ta2O5, as well as the Northwest and Southeast areas (Mallard Prospect) where previous drilling has returned wide intercepts of mineralization, including 0.61% Nb2O5 over 12.0 m (EC08-008) and 0.82% Nb2O5 over 21.9 m (EC10-033), respectively.

This news release contains forward-looking information which is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements in this press release include that the work has extended the strike length of the high-grade niobium mineralization by approximately 60 m, and that this work will provide the foundation for advancements towards an initial mineral resource estimate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. Risks that could change or prevent these statements from coming to fruition include changing costs for mining and processing; increased capital costs; the timing and content of upcoming work programs; geological interpretations based on drilling that may change with more detailed information; potential process methods and mineral recoveries assumption based on limited test work and by comparison to what are considered analogous deposits that with further test work may not be comparable; the availability of labour, equipment and markets for the products produced; and despite the current expected viability of the project, conditions changing such that the minerals on our property cannot be economically mined, or that the required permits to build and operate the envisaged mine can be obtained. The forward-looking information contained herein is given as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no responsibility to update or revise such information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
