VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2021 / Fabled Silver Gold Corp. ("Fabled" or the "Company") (TSXV:FCO)(OTCQB:FBSGF)(FSE:7NQ) is pleased to announce additional results from underground diamond drilling of the 1,200 meter underground drill program on the "Santa Maria" Property in Parral, Mexico, see Figure 1.
Figure 1- Longitudinal View of Area of Current Underground Drilling
Drill holes SMUG21- 16, 17 were drilled from the same drill station and in the same plane approximately 150 meters east of drill hole SMUG21- 14, which reported 689.56 g/t Ag Eq. Each hole was designed to test the mineralization at various elevations underground along with testing for the dike extension to the east.
SMUG21-16
Hole SMUG21-16 was drilled at 0 degree dip or flat, whereas hole SMUG21-17 was drilled at -45 degrees and designed to intercept the projected mineralized dike -75 meters below the hole 16 projection.
SMUG21-16 was successful in the interception of the mineralized dike at the hanging wall structure.
The collar of hole 16 or the beginning, reported approximately 41 meters of silicified limestone with 3% disseminated pyrite, followed by 9 meters of multi-phase, oxidized, red in color, quartz cemented breccia containing 5 % disseminated pyrite, followed by silicified limestone and 15 meters of reddish brown in color, highly fractured porphyritic diorite dike with oxidized sulphides within the fractures at the contact of the hanging wall structure from 74.8 - 79.9 meters.
As in hole SMUG21- 14, located 150 meters to the west, where adjacent to the hanging wall zone, a mineralized diorite was encountered with a supergene enriched quartz vein breccia on the lower contact. The diorite dike interval of 6.7 meters assayed 193.98 g/t Ag Eq, including the contact with the lower vein breccia which graded 313.26 g/t Ag Eq over 3.85 meters and the supergene quartz breccia reporting 1.35 meters of 689.56 g/t Ag Eq.
In the case of SMUG21-16, 5.10 meters of mineralized dike from 74.8 - 79.9 meters returned 130.62 g/t Ag Eq which included 1.30 meters grading 417.92 g/t Ag Eq. below.
See Figure 2, Table 1, Photo 1 of hydrothermal breccia dike and photo 2 of the hanging wall dike mineralization below.

SMUG21-17
Underground drill hole SMUG21- 17 was drilled from the same setup; in the same plane as SMUG21- 16 and was drilled at -45 degrees. Hole 17 was successful once more in intercepting the mineralized hanging wall dike next to the Santa Maria structure at a vertical depth of -75 meters below the SMUG21-16 intercept of 130.62 g/t Ag Eq over 5.10 meters which included 1.30 meters grading 417.92 g/t Ag Eq. As reported above. This intercept is 310 meters below surface.
A reddish highly silicified and oxidized porphyritic diorite dike with fine disseminated sulphides was intercepted over 15 meters from 72 - 88 meters. The 84.00 - 88.15 section reported 38.26 g/t Ag Eq over 4.15 meters. This correlates with the oxidized hydrothermal breccia intercepted above in hole 16.
As mentioned previously, diamond drill hole SMUG21- 14, is located 150 meters to the west, where adjacent to the hanging wall zone, a mineralized diorite was encountered with a supergene enriched quartz vein breccia on the lower contact. The diorite dike interval of 6.7 meters assayed 193.98 g/t Ag Eq, including the contact with the lower vein breccia which graded 313.26 g/t Ag Eq over 3.85 meters and the supergene quartz breccia reporting 1.35 meters of 689.56 g/t Ag Eq.
From 97 to 122 meters a reddish - orange, highly oxidized and silified porphyritic diorite dike was encountered like that intercepted in hole 16 above. The entire 25-meter interval returned 36.99 g/t Ag Eq with high grade sections, such as 10.50 meters of 75.16 g/t Ag Eq; 3.95 meters grading 160.95 g/t Ag Eq and 0.60 meters returning 822.30 g/t Ag Eq. which contains 6.46 g/t Au.
This ties in nicely with SMUG21-16 75 meters above, where 5.10 meters of mineralized dike from 74.8 - 79.9 meters returned 130.62 g/t Ag Eq which included 1.30 meters grading 417.92 g/t Ag Eq.
See Table 2, Figure 3, Photos 3 of the first oxidized dike and Photo 4 the deeper main mineralized diorite dike near the lower contact of the hanging wall below.

FUTURE UNDERGROUND DRILLING UPDATE
Hole 18 has been completed and submitted for assay. Hole SMUG21- 18 is the last hole drilled for the underground drill campaign.
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.
