ASX ANNOUNCEMENT ASX code: SBR 5 May 2022
SABRE GRANTED WA GOVERNMENT CO-FUNDING TO DRILL HIGH-GRADE NICKEL SULPHIDE TARGETS AT SHERLOCK BAY
- Diamond drilling set to start early June, testing massive sulphide/EM conductor targets
- WA Government co-funding of up to $220,000 granted for Sabre to drill high-grade nickel sulphide targets at the Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Western Australia.
- Four-hole diamond drilling program of up to 2,400m1,2 set to commence early June to test the potential for higher-grade to massive sulphides down plunge of the Discovery and Symonds nickel sulphide deposits4 at Sherlock Bay (Figure 2).
- Program designed to test concept that massive nickel sulphide deposits are associated with the intersection of the Sherlock Bay mineralised horizon and the "neck" of the sulphursaturated Sherlock Intrusive, a position analogous with deposits such as Nova-Bollinger.
- Aim is to increase and upgrade JORC resources at the Discovery and Symonds deposits to enhance the economics of the recently completed Sherlock Bay Scoping Study5 .
- Drilling program will be coupled with down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying to detect massive sulphides associated with either in-hole or off hole conductors.
Sabre Resources Ltd ("Sabre" or "the Company") is delighted to announce that the West Australian government has approved the Company's application for up to $220,000 of cofunding for a diamond drilling program1,2 testing high-grade nickel sulphide targets at its 70% owned Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project ("Sherlock Bay", or "Project") in the west Pilbara of WA (Figure 1).
Sabre Resources CEO, Jon Dugdale, said:
"The grant of this substantial drilling co-funding by the West Australian government is a great endorsement of our new model for the Sherlock Bay nickel deposit and the original targeting approach to finding high-grade nickel sulphides at the Project.
"This is the first drilling program at Sherlock Bay since 2005 and is based on a concept developed in-house - that the disseminated nickel sulphides identified to date are only the tip of the ice-berg and that closer to the base of the Sherlock Intrusion there is potential for high-grade nickel sulphide accumulations in an analogous setting to the Nova-Bollinger massive sulphide deposits.
"We've lined up a diamond drilling rig and we can't wait to get this program started."

About the Sherlock Bay High-Grade Nickel Sulphide Project
Sherlock Bay 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 within the regional Scholl Shear Zone corridor (Figure 1).
The Sherlock mafic/ultramafic intrusion lies immediately to the southeast in the interpreted stratigraphic hangingwall of the deposit. 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) that is associated with a gabbroic intrusive body similar to the Sherlock Intrusive.

Figure 1: Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt (sulphide) Project, regional geology and location plan
The Project includes a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 24.6Mt @ 0.40% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.02% Co, containing 99,200t Ni, 21,700t 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 recently completed Scoping Study5 on the Sherlock Bay Project indicated positive cash-flow potential at prevailing nickel prices (US$10/lb at time of release, now ~US$14.50/lb6) and highlighted the positive impact of projected nickel price rises and potential discovery of higher-grade resources.
The Company has identified significant upside-potential for additional, high-grade, nickel sulphide resources below both the Symonds and Discovery resource zones at Sherlock Bay. Both deposits are increasing in grade and open at relatively shallow depth (see longitudinal projection, Figure 2, below).

The New Model for Sherlock Bay – and Potential for Massive Sulphides1 :
Previous models for Sherlock Bay nickel deposit include hydrothermal remobilisation of nickel and re-precipitation in the mineralised horizon. However, Ni-Cu-Co ratios are similar to other intrusive related nickel sulphide deposits such as the Andover nickel deposit, 60km to the west (Figure 1), suggesting that mineralisation is magmatic fluid related rather than remobilised hydrothermal, as this would disrupt magmatic metal ratios associated with sulphur saturation of magma.
Previous work by Outokumpu, based on 1990s drilling, has indicated that the proximal Sherlock mafic-ultramafic Intrusion has anomalous base metal and PGE values with associated sulphides, indicating sulphur saturation prior to intrusion.
Under the new model for the Sherlock Bay deposit, developed by the Company2, the nickel sulphide mineralisation, which is in the felsic footwall of the Sherlock Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusion, was formed by the interaction of nickel bearing magmatic fluids with a sulphidic horizon in the footwall of the Sherlock Intrusive magma chamber. Sulphur saturation of the magma caused the precipitation of Ni, Cu and Co sulphides as well as the deposition of amphibole, magnetite and other minerals that relate to the magmatic source.
Based on this model, massive sulphides are targeted where the Sherlock Bay 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 intrusive related nickel sulphide deposit in WA (IGO Ltd, ASX:IGO).
Modelling of a major EM conductor2 (see EM Plate projected on Figure 2) supports the new model for massive sulphides to be located 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 Diamond Drilling Program:
Four diamond drillholes totalling up to 2,400m will test the two key target zones that have been 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):
i) Down plunge extensions of the Discovery nickel sulphide deposit, where higher-grade intersections including: SBD077 – 50m @ 0.42% Ni from 227m incl. 22m @ 0.57% Ni & 4m @ 1.02% Ni1 indicate improving nickel grade down-plunge at relatively shallow depth to the southwest that remains open down plunge (see longitudinal projection, Figure 2).
Two diamond drillholes have been planned to test the down-plunge extensions of the Discovery deposit (See Figure 3, cross section 19,600mE).
ii) 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% Ni1, indicate improving nickel grade with depth within a steep westerly plunging zone that remains open down plunge (see longitudinal projection, Figure 2).
Two diamond drillholes are planned, including a ~550m deep hole from south to north testing the Sherlock Intrusive and continuing to test the sulphide mineralised horizon, and a deeper ~750m drillhole from north to south testing extensions of the mineralised horizon and continuing to the Sherlock Intrusive footwall contact (see cross section, Figure 4).
The drilling program will be coupled with down hole EM (DHEM) surveying to detect massive sulphides associated with either in-hole or off hole conductors (as applied very successfully by Azure Minerals Ltd at Andover nickel sulphide deposit, 60km to the west of Sherlock Bay3 – see Figure 1).
The approved WA government co-funding will fund up to 50% of direct drilling costs and up to $10,000 mobilisation costs, capped at a total of $220,000. The approval is based on the program designed to test the concept that massive nickel sulphide deposits are associated with the intersection of the Sherlock Bay mineralised horizon and the "neck" of the sulphur-saturated Sherlock Intrusive.
A diamond drilling contractor is available to carry out this program and the Program of Work (PoW) for the drilling has been lodged with the WA Department of Mines (DMIRS). It is expected to be approved shortly to allow commencement of drilling from as soon as early June.
The key objective of this diamond drilling will be to increase high-grade nickel sulphide resources and enhance the economic viability of the Sherlock Bay Nickel-Copper-Cobalt (sulphide) Project.

About Sabre Resources:
Sabre Resources Ltd is an ASX-listed company (ASX:SBR) focused on the exploration and development of key nickel sulphide and gold assets in Western Australia.
Nickel Sulphide Projects, Western Australia:
Sabre holds a 70% interest in the 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).
Sherlock Bay Project is located approximately 70km east of the Andover high-grade nickel sulphide discovery of Azure Minerals Ltd (ASX:AZR)3, which is associated with a gabbroic intrusive body similar to the Sherlock Intrusive.
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 Company recently completed an extensive Scoping Study on the Project5 that highlighted the
cashflow potential of the project at current and projected nickel prices and upside potential for higher-grade nickel sulphides at depth, that the Company is looking to test with the deeper drilling program presented in this release1. The Company is focussed on building its nickel sulphide exploration portfolio and, to that end,
recently announced a binding agreement to earn an 80% interest in the Sherlock Pool tenement, E47/4345, covering immediate strike extensions to the northeast and southwest of the Sherlock Bay nickel sulphide deposit5. Exploration will commence shortly, targeting previously generated VTEM anomalies that may represent massive nickel sulphide potential.
Sabre has also entered into an agreement to earn 80% of the Nepean South E15/17025, that covers a 12km corridor of ultramafic rocks south of the Nepean nickel sulphide mine, including previous nickel-copper RAB intersections.
Sabre has also acquired 80% of Chalco Resources Pty Ltd ("Chalco")7, that 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.
Youanmi Terrane Gold Projects:
The Company has also added to its portfolio of gold exploration projects in the highly prospective Youanmi Terrane of Western Australia, with the acquisition of the Ninghan Gold Project8, E59/2402, located in the southern Murchison District.
Mt Gibson Gold Mine is located less than 20km along strike to the south of the Project and has a 3.0Moz pre-mining gold endowment. Previous RAB and aircore drilling has defined two strongly anomalous zones of gold-arsenic mineralisation that will be followed up with additional aircore and deeper RC drilling.

Sabre also holds a 100% interest in the Bonanza and Beacon exploration licences, in the Youanmi Gold Mining District, close to gold projects held by Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) and Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX: VMC) where they have reported significant exploration drilling success.
Other Projects:
The Company also holds an 80% interest in the Ngalia Uranium Project7, which comprises two exploration licences: Dingo EL32829 and Lake Lewis EL32864 located near existing uranium resources in the highly prospective Ngalia Basin in the southwestern Northern Territory (NT).
The Company also has an 80% interest in the Cararra EL326937 copper-gold and lead-zinc-silver project that is located at the junction of the Tennant East Copper-Gold Belt and the Lawn Hill Platform/Mt Isa Province in the Northern Territory.
