Vinata Project

epithermal silica-carbonate veins with high-level textures

  • Grassroots Finding
  • Never Drilled before Sable
  • Low-Sulfidation Epithermal Au
  • 100% Sable Owned
  • Prime Location in mining friendly Chihuahua state
  • Surrounded by world-class deposits and operations (Santa Eulalia, Naica, Cordero)
  • Only 50 km south of Chihuahua city

    Property Geology

    Vinata surface geology is characterized by a number of epithermal silica-carbonate veins with high-level textures and pathfinders’ anomalies; the veins are hosted within a Tertiary ignimbrite sequence deposited discordantly on top of Cretaceous limestones.

    Sable drill tested the vein system intercepting low-grade gold mineralization in rhyolite layers, the gold anomaly extends for 700 m along strike and remains open to the west under quaternary coverage.

    Exploration to Date

    2019

    First Drilling Campaign

    2,772 m in 11 holes between October 2019 and February 2020

    2020

    Second Drilling Campaign

    1,738 m in seven holes between November 2020 and January 2021

    186 rock samples collected

    170 km of GroundMag collected

    8.95 km of CSAMT surveys conducted

    Two drill campaigns completed


    Since the project was discovered by Sable’s geology team, the company has conducted detailed mapping, and collected 186 rock samples. In April 2019 Sable acquired 170 km of GroundMag followed by 8.95 km of CSAMT surveys.

    A first drilling campaign was performed between October 2019 and February 2020 comprising eleven holes and 2,772 meters. A second drilling program was designed to follow up the positive results of the first round and it was conducted between November 2020 and January 2021 completing seven holes and 1,738 m. The second round did not intercept significant values and the project stays on hold since then.

    Vinata remains a large gold anomaly that deserves additional deeper drilling from the west.
