-
The first hole of a diamond drilling programme at the recently acquired Guchab copper prospect has been completed and has intersected a broad zone of copper mineralisation from surface.
-
GCDD0001 was drilled to a depth of 111.4 metres and shows mineralisation along most of its extent from surface, including: ► 107.75 m @ 1.15% Copper & 6.93 gpt Silver from 0.60 m including 2.35 m @ 13.24% Copper & 70.84 gpt Silver from 17.90 m 23.55 m @ 2.08% Copper & 10.11 gpt Silver from 29.80 m
-
A second hole has now been completed at Guchab, also showing significant visible copper mineralisation, with a third hole in progress also intercepting mineralisation – assays are pending.

Sabre’s General Ma n ager – Exp l oration, Dr M atthew Pai n ter, said: “ … strong an d extensive c opper mine r alisation h a s been inte r cepted by t h e maiden hole a t our Gucha b deposit. A c opper-rich i ntercept of o ver 100 metres is an e x citing start t o a p r ogramme w h ich will giv e us a solid u nderstanding of the deposit before w e proceed t o a r e source drill o ut progra m me later i n the year.

A third d iamond dril l hole (GCD D 0003) is n o w underwa y testing the mineralisat i on at Guch a b and is due for c ompletion in the coming days. As s ays for bot h GCDD000 2 & GCDD0 0 03 are pe n ding and Sabre l o oks forward to updating the market a s these res u lts are received.
GUCH A B DELIN E ATION P R OGRAMME
Drilling is being undertaken fro m up to four sites acros s the Gucha b mine area utilising ‘fa n s’ of drill holes to test the min e ralisation. T he core is b eing structu r ally oriente d , which will a llow the ar c hitecture of the deposit to b e determine d . This will p rovide an o ptimal drill o rientation f o r a future resource drilling programme .
Diamon d drilling wil l continue a t Guchab th r oughout A u gust and in t o Septemb e r 2012. Sa b re looks forward to updating investors a s further r e sults of the drilling pro g ramme ar e received i n coming weeks.

THE G U CHAB C O PPER MI N ING CEN T RE
The Gu c hab mining centre was d iscovered i n the early 1900s and o p erated for a short time p roducing high-grade copper ores (up to 33%) b e fore the di s covery of s ignificant, n ear surfac e copper minerali s ation at Ko m bat, some 1 0 kilometre s to the wes t (see below).
Sabre’s work at G uchab sho w s that it encompass e s three hi s toric mini n g centres (Guchab, Rodger b erg & Schlangental) co v ering more t han 4,000 m etres of strike, defined b y historical workings and sur fa ce geoche m istry of up t o 10,000 ppm, or 1%, C o pper in soil s .
Sabre’s exploration and structu r al analysis s hows that G uchab hosts ‘Kombat-style’ metamorphic copper mineralisation, as vei n and brec c ia style de p osits, with high-grade copper-silver rich zones w hich are s u rrounded b y moderate grade vein networks. M ajor coppe r minerals at surface include m alachite, c h alcocite, and dioptase.
Channe l sampling o f the histori c workings a t the Gucha b deposit has returned s ome very high-grade intercep t s, including :
GC T R 001 17m @ 5.86% Cop p er & 29 g p t Silver GC T R 002 16m @ 10.16% Cop p er & 64 g p t Silver GC T R 021 14m @ 6.40% Cop p er & 62 g p t Silver GC T R 023 25m @ 6.70% Cop p er & 59 g p t Silver GC T R 026 22m @ 5.83% Cop p er & 48 g p t Silver
In addition to the e x cellent drill and chann e l sampling r esults, infr a structure at and aroun d Guchab make it a very attractive copper t arget. Guch a b is locate d within 1 k m of an activ e train line a n d sealed highwa y , and is lo c ated aroun d 10 km ea s t of the Kombat Copp e r Mine and Concentra t ion plant (presen t ly being rej u venated). It is also app r oximately 5 0 km south from the Ts u meb Copper Smelter Comple x , to which it is connecte d by rail.
Guchab , which is part of the 45 k m long Ko m bat Copper Trend, was a cquired by S abre in Ju n e 2012.

2 Sabre’s OML project consists of two Exclusive Prospe c ting Licenses (EPL 3540 & 3 542), which c o ver more than 800 km of highly pro s pective base m etal stratigra p hy. Sabre has identified two k ey copper tre n ds within its p r oject area, ea c h covering more than 25 km of strik e , defined by surface geochemistry and histor i cal workings.T h ese extensive copper trends, namely the Lucas Po s t and Kombat T rends, are the present focus o f exploration.
The regio n hosts a num b er of world cla s s Copper, Zin c , Lead, Silver a nd Vanadium mines, includi n g the Tsumeb & Kombat Copper m ines. The Otavi Valley tenem e nt (EPL 3540) surrounds the Kombat Copper mine on all s ides and cove r s the strike extension s of the mine stratigraphy. To d ate, the Kombat Mine has pr o duced more t h an 8.7 Mt @ 3 . 1% Cu, 1.1 P b and 26 g/t Ag.
