Fabled Copper report up to 27.20% Copper on the Magnum Mine Deposit

March 23, 2022

Vancouver, British Columbia – Fabled Copper Corp. (“Fabled Copper” or the “Company”) (CSE: FABL; FSE: XZ7) announces the 11th set of results of 2021 surface field work on it’s Muskwa Copper Project comprised of the Neil Property and the Toro Property in Northern British Columbia. The Company also holds rights to the Bronson Property. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 – Location Map

Peter Hawley, President, CEO reports; A total of 19 specific areas were mapped and prospected during the 2021 field season and we have previously reported our findings on the Lady Luck occurrence in the south end of the Neil Property, followed by the Mac; the 8A, Harris, the 2a and 2b, the Creek, Keays south, Belcher Creek, the Magnum Drone Survey Mission and now the Magnum Mine copper deposit.” See Figure 2 below.

Mineralization at the Magnum deposit consists of varying proportions of ankerite,

quartz, chalcopyrite, and pyrite, in partly replaced remnants of the sedimentary host rock

To date a total of ten veins have been identified, varying in width from less than 3 feet (0.9 meters)

up to 25 feet (7.6 meters), showing continuity on strike and at depth. The main developed veins are nearly vertical. See Photo 1 below.

The main haulage, 5200 foot Level adit and the remaining adits into the

Magnum Vein were inspected. The blocked entrances of 6 adits and 1 opening (possible a cave-adit) were located and 20 samples of the exposed Magnum Vein were taken over a vertical elevation of 332 meters.

A large (0.4 by 0.4 m.) piece of highly mineralized rubble was discovered on an old road 300 m. south of the main haulage adit. Sample D723266 of this rubble contained 90% chalcopyrite, 3% bornite and Co bloom and assayed an impressive 27.2% Cu. See Table 1 and Photo 2 below.

The Magnum Vein was sampled at 3 locations along the northwest facing slope, approximately 400 m.

east of Magnum Creek. The northern most exposure was sampled at an elevation

of 1903 meters. At this area the vein is 2.00 meters wide and strikes 040 degrees, dipping vertically, in sheared sediments.

A 2.30-meter section containing 2 meters of vein (samples D-723373-375) and 0.30 meters of footwall

sediments averaged 6.43% copper. The 2.0 m section of vein alone without the low-grade footwall sediments contained a copper average of 7.380%. See Table 1 and Photo 3 below.

High-grade grab sample (D-723377) of the vein, collected 1 m. to the north, contained 95% massive

chalcopyrite and assayed 25.10% Copper and 11.9 ppm Ag. See Table 1 and Photo 4 below.

Five hundred to 530 meters along strike to the southwest, between the two 5,900-foot adits 2 exposures were sampled. The 2 exposures strike 040 degrees and dip 85 degrees and are located 30 meters apart at elevations of ~1866 and 1834 meters.

In the north, the vein is 1 to 1.30 meters in width and contains 1-3% chalcopyrite with the hanging wall being comprised of sediments and quartz-carbonate stringers. Five chip samples (D-723382-386) were collected across 3 sections with the average Cu grades across each section are: vein & hanging wall - 0.67% / 2.30 meters, (D-723385 & 386) and  0.34%/  2.10 meters, (D-723383 & 384) and just vein - 0.31%/ 1.00 m. (D-723382). See Table 1 below and Photo 5 below.

Photo 5 – Composite Samples

Thirty meters farther along strike to southwest, at an elevation of 1,834 meters, 2 sections of

the vein and surrounding stringer zones were chip sampled (D-723387 & 389-392). The 1.20- to 1.30-meter-wide vein is exposed along 15 meters, dips sub-vertically and is mineralized with 3-5% chalcopyrite. The northern,1.60-meter-wide section (D-723387 & 389), averages 6.704% Cu, with the 1.30-meter-wide chip sample of the vein containing 8.09% Cu. The southern 2.30-meter-wide section (D-72390-392) averages 2.50% Cu, with the 1.20-meter-wide vein assaying 4.37% Cu. See Table 1 below.

On the road to the main haulage adit a 040-degree striking 0.8 m. wide vein is exposed. This vein contains 2% chalcopyrite and 0.96% Cu. Four heavily mineralized (up to 25% chalcopyrite) samples (D-723371, 372, 379 & 381) of quartz-carbonate rubble / float were sampled downslope from the adits, at elevations of 1755 to 1802 meters. See Table 1 and Photo 6 below.

Photo 6 – Float Sample D - 723379

Samples D-723371, 372 & 381 also contained a high pyrite content of 30 to 80% and assayed 3.4% to 14.4% copper. Sample D-723379 with no pyrite and 20% chalcopyrite contained 11.45% copper. See Table 1 below and Photo 6 above

As discussed in the previous release of the UAV Drone work on the Magnum the data generated was used for in-field targeting of visual copper occurrences on the color orthophoto due to the 3 cm resolution which lead to field examination of the mineralized unit to sampling of the Magnum vein where a total of 20 samples were collect as a first pass evaluation. See Figures 9, 10 below.

Figure 9/ 10 – Blow Up of Copper Mineralization on Magnum Deposit

As you can see above the drone video and orthophoto was used to determine where to sample this sped up the boots on the ground process and also once sampled the data obtained was plotted with GPS coordinates on the orthophoto below. Press link here to view drone flight mission.

In addition to the sample locations the copper assay values were not only plotted on the orthophoto but geotagged with all relevant information and incorporated into a .KMZ format to be used with general global position systems such as google earth. See Figures 11, 12 below.

Figure 12 – Plotted Assay Values / Photos in .kmz Format

Going Forwards

Using the results of the data gathered by the UAV drone in the 2021 field season the field crew will further sample in detail and map the Magnum deposit in addition to traversing the southeast side of the hill side to investigate the silica anomalies. Once drill permits are received this will be one of the drill target areas.

 

QA QC Procedure

Analytical results of sampling reported by Fabled Copper Corp represent rock samples submitted by Fabled Copper Corp staff directly to ALS Chemex, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. Samples were crushed, split, and pulverized as per ALS Chemex method PREP-31, then analyzed for ME-ICP61 33 element package by four acid digestion with ICP-AES Finish. ME-GRA21 method for Au and Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish, 30g nominal sample weight.
 

Over Limit Methods

For samples triggering precious metal over-limit thresholds of 10 g/t Au or 100 g/t Ag, the following is being used:

Au-GRA21 Au by fire assay and gravimetric finish with 30 g sample.

Ag-GRA21 Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish.

Fabled Copper Corp. monitors QA/QC using commercially sourced standards and locally sourced blank materials inserted within the sample sequence at regular intervals.
