Sabre Resources Ltd (ASX: SBR) (“Sabre” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that a ~2,400m diamond drilling program[0] is set to commence to test high-grade nickel sulphide targets at the Sherlock Bay Nickel-Cobalt-Copper Project (“Sherlock Bay” or “the Project”) in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
This follows the approval of a drilling Program of Work (PoW) by the WA Government and the signing of a drilling contract with Mount Magnet Drilling. The four-hole program will commence as soon as access is established following recent rains at the site, which is expected to be early June.
The drilling program will test the potential for additional, high-grade nickel sulphide resources below both the Discovery and Symonds resource zones at Sherlock Bay, with the key objective of expanding and upgrading the existing JORC resources. This will in turn enable Sabre to update its Sherlock Bay scoping study and accelerate preferred project development options as global demand for battery metals such as nickel, copper and cobalt, continue to strengthen.
The exploration program will also include down-hole EM (DHEM) surveying to detect massive sulphides associated with either in-hole or off hole conductors – as successfully applied by Azure Minerals Ltd (ASX:AZS) at Andover nickel sulphide deposit, 60km west of Sherlock Bay[3] (Figure 1).
The WA Government previously approved co-funding for this drilling program of up to 50% of the direct drilling costs and up to $10,000 mobilisation costs, capped at a total of $220,000[0] .

Sabre Resources CEO, Jon Dugdale, said:
“We look forward with much anticipation to kicking off our new diamond drilling and down-hole EM program to test the high-grade nickel sulphide targets we have identified at Sherlock Bay.
“This is the first drilling program at Sherlock Bay since 2005 and we will be targeting high-grade nickel sulphide accumulations below the existing resource, in an analogous setting to the NovaBollinger massive sulphide deposits.
“Success in this program will be a key step in upgrading our existing JORC resources at Sherlock Bay and advancing development studies at a time of strong global demand for battery metals.”
Background
The Sherlock Bay Project includes two nickel sulphide deposits, Symonds and Discovery , both of which are tabular and trend northeast-southwest within an overall 1.5km strike length mineralised horizon hosted by the regional Scholl Shear Zone corridor (Figure 1).
The Sherlock Bay nickel deposit is approximately 60km east of the Andover high-grade nickel sulphide discovery of Azure Minerals Ltd (ASX:AZR)[3] (Figure 1), which is associated with a gabbroic intrusive body similar to the Sherlock Intrusive.

==> picture [595 x 117] intentionally omitted <==
The Project has an existing JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 24.6Mt @ 0.40% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.02% Co, containing 99,200t Ni, 21,700t Cu & 5,400t Co (Measured 12.48Mt @ 0.38% Ni, 0.11% Cu, 0.025% Co; Indicated 6.1Mt @ 0.59% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.022% Co & Inferred 6.1Mt @ 0.27% Ni, 0.06% Cu, 0.01% Co) [4] .
The recent Scoping Study[5] on the Sherlock Bay Project indicated positive cash-flow potential at prevailing nickel prices (US$10/lb at time of release, now ~US$12/lb[6] ), while also highlighting the positive financial impact of continued strength in nickel prices and the discovery of additional highergrade resources at the Project.
The Company believes there is significant upside potential for additional, high-grade, nickel sulphide resources below both the Symonds and Discovery resource zones, with both deposits increasing in grade and open at relatively shallow depths (see longitudinal projection, Figure 2).

Figure 2: Sherlock Bay Longitudinal Projection with Discovery & Symonds nickel deposits, Ni% x m contours
Sabre’s exploration model for Sherlock Bay is to target massive sulphides where the mineralised horizon projects to intersect the footwall of the Sherlock Intrusive, potentially representing the “neck” of the intrusive (see cross section, Figure 3). Massive sulphides occur in this position at analogous deposits such as the Nova-Bollinger nickel sulphide deposit, also in WA (IGO Ltd, ASX:IGO).
This exploration concept for massive sulphides to be located in this target zone is supported by the modelling of a major EM conductor[2] (see EM Plate projected on Figure 2) at the projected intersection of the mineralised horizon with the base of the Sherlock gabbro/ultramafic intrusion at depth, below the disseminated nickel sulphide resources.

The New Drilling Program
Four diamond holes totalling up to 2,400m will be drilled to test the two key target zones identified with potential for higher-grade to massive sulphides down plunge of both the Discovery and Symonds resources (see pierce points projected onto Figure 2) including:
-
i) Two holes to test for down plunge extensions of the Discovery nickel sulphide deposit (Figure 3, cross section 19,600mE), where higher-grade intersections including : SBD077 – 50m @ 0.42% Ni from 227m incl. 22m @ 0.57% Ni & 4m @ 1.02% Ni[1] indicate improving nickel grade down-plunge at relatively shallow depth to the southwest that remains open down plunge (see longitudinal projection, Figure 2).
-
ii) Two holes to test for deeper extensions of the Symonds nickel sulphide deposit , where higher-grade intersections at depth such as SBD065 – 43m @ 0.54% Ni from 508m incl. 17m @ 0.71% Ni and 3m @ 1.10% Ni[1] (see cross section, Figure 4) indicate improving nickel grade with depth within a steep westerly-plunging zone that remains open down plunge (Figure 2).

About Sabre Resources
Sabre Resources is an ASX-listed company (ASX:SBR) focused on the exploration and development of highly-prospective portfolio of nickel sulphide and gold assets in Western Australia, and uranium and base metal prospects in the Northern Territory.
The Company’s flagship project is the 70% owned Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project - a significant nickel sulphide resource located on granted mining lease, M47/567, 40km east of Roebourne in the highly prospective Pilbara Region of Western Australia (Figure 1).
The Project includes a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 24.6Mt @ 0.40% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.02% Co, containing 99,200t Ni, 21,700 tonnes Cu and 5,400 tonnes Co (including a Measured 12.48Mt @ 0.38% Ni, 0.11% Cu, 0.025% Co; Indicated 6.1Mt @ 0.59% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.022% Co and Inferred 6.1Mt @ 0.27% Ni, 0.06% Cu, 0.01% Co) [4] . The latest targeted diamond drilling and exploration program is designed to upgrade and expand the resources, update the Sherlock Bay scoping study and accelerate further development studies to Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) standard.
Sabre is also earning a n 80% interest in the Sherlock Pool tenement, E47/4345, covering immediate strike extensions to the northeast and southwest of the Sherlock Bay nickel sulphide deposit[5] . Exploration will commence shortly, targeting previously generated VTEM anomalies that may represent massive nickel sulphide potential.
It is also earning 80% of the Nepean South tenement, E15/1702[5] , that covers a 12km corridor of ultramafic rocks south of the Nepean nickel sulphide mine.
In addition, Sabre’s 80% owned subsidiary, Chalco Resources Pty Ltd[7] , has three exploration licence applications at Cave Hill over a >50km strike length of interpreted extensions of the Nepean and Queen Victoria Rocks nickel sulphide belts.
Sabre’s Ninghan Gold Project[8] , E59/2402, in Western Australia’s southern Murchison district is located less than 20km along strike from the Mt Gibson gold mine, which has a ~3Moz gold resource endowment. Previous RAB and aircore drilling has defined two strongly-anomalous zones of goldarsenic mineralisation at Ninghan where follow-up drilling is planned.
Sabre also holds a 100% interest in the Bonanza and Beacon exploration licences, in the Youanmi Gold Mining District, proximal to where partners Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) and Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX: VMC) have reported significant exploration results.
In the Northern Territory, Sabre holds an 80% interest in the Ngalia Uranium Project[7] , which comprises two recently granted exploration licences: Dingo EL32829 and Lake Lewis EL32864 in the highly prospective Ngalia Basin.
Sabre also holds an 80% interest in the Cararra EL32693[7] copper-gold and lead-zinc-silver project at the junction of the Tennant East Copper-Gold Belt and the Lawn Hill Platform/Mt Isa Province.

|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• RC drilling was conducted using a 5 ¼” face sampling bit on a nominal 20m by 60 m spacing. • RC samples were collected in large plastic bags from riffle splitter and a 2-5 kg representative sample taken for analysis. • Diamond drilling was sampled to geological contacts then at 1 m or 1.52 m intervals with quarter core samples taken for analysis. • Collar surveys were carried using total station electronic equipment. • Down hole surveys for each hole were completed using single shot cameras. • Sampling was limited to the visually mineralised zones with additional sampling of several metres either side of the mineralisation. |

| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• Length weighted average grades have been reported. • No high-grade cuts have been applied. • Metal equivalent values are not being reported. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. down hole length, _true width not known’). _ |
• The majority of holes have been drilled at angles to intersect the mineralisation approximately perpendicular to the orientation of the mineralised trend. • Some steeper holes will have intersection length greater than the true thickness. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
