Ruben Padilla, Sable's President and CEO stated, "We are very pleased to have finalized the Earn-In Agreement with South32.   Work at Don Julio has commenced including construction of additional new road access, initiation of the 1,100 km Aeromagnetic survey, and the first-pass recognizing work of Aster anomalies located outside the main Don Julio Cluster."

The Project comprises a 58,000-hectare land package containing several Cu-Au porphyry, Ag-Au epithermal, and polymetallic skarn targets, which were generated from detailed mapping and geochemistry work over the past two and a half years.  Sable has assigned its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Project from the Project's underlying owners to Olivares as part of the transaction with South32.

Sable's option to acquire a 100% interest in the Project was first signed on December 6, 2017 with certain consideration terms being amended in three separate amendment agreements dated May 27, 2019, July 5, 2019 and June 1, 2020 (together the "Option Agreement").   To earn a 100% interest in the Project, the Option Agreement provides for cash considerations aggregating US$4,000,000 (US$160,000 has been paid to date) and share considerations aggregating 3,500,000 common shares (400,000 of which have been issued to date) of Sable, as well as US$4,000,000 in exploration work (Sable has exceeded this commitment), over the option period ending December 2026.   As long as the EIA is in effect, South32 is responsible for the cash consideration payments under the Option Agreement.

The Project is subject to a 4% net smelter royalty, 2% of which is held by Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and 2% of which is held by the underlying owners of the Project, the latter of which may be purchased by the Company.
