Fabled Copper Reports values as High as 19.85% copper and 21.90% copper on Eagle Creek Copper Occurrence

February 7, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia – Fabled Copper Corp. (“Fabled Copper” or the “Company”) (CSE: FABL; FSE: XZ7) announces the results of 2022 surface field work on its Muskwa Copper Project. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 – General Property Location

The Project is comprised of the Neil Property, the Toro Property and the Bronson Property all located in northern British Columbia. See Figure 2 below.

Figure 2 – Location Map

The Eagle Creek copper occurrence is located on the Neil Property roughly 1.5 km east of the 6400 Eagle Vein adit where the 2022 underground LIDAR survey was completed. The Eagle creek flows northward into the Yedhe Creek and it is located in the same valley that contains the eastern end of the 6400 adit & Eagle Vein exposure that are located on the west cliff face of the valley. During the summer of 2022 the Eagle Creek, south part of Eagle creek, north part of Eagle Creek, West part of Eagle week and the backside of the Eagle vein were visited on sperate occasions. The release pertains to the Eagle Creek Copper occurrence site visit, see Figure 3 and Photo 1 below

Peter Hawley, President, CEO reports; “The Eagle Creek copper occurrence was visited by a 2-person field team consisting of a geologist and geo technician on two occasions during the summer field season. A total of 10 samples were collected, 1 grab and 9 float samples. Of the 10 samples collected, 8 or 80% assayed greater than 0.5% copper. See Table 1 and Photo 2 below.

On the first survey, the area was sampled over a vertical altitude of 118 meters and 5 float samples were collected, four of which assayed greater that 0.50% copper.

Float sample D-723551 taken at the 1,553-meter elevation consisted of dark brown to rusty brown quartz on a weathered surface with minor green malachite. On a fresh surface the rock is mottled gray – white and brassey yellow consisting of 60% quartz, 39% chalcopyrite and 1% bornite. This sample returned an impressive 19.85% copper. See Table 1 and Photo 3, below.

A further 2 meters vertically float sample D-723552 of the same vein float material returned 0.57% copper. Continuing vertically another 106 meters float sample D-723553 of iron-stained quartz carbonate with trace malachite and weathered orange brown with 1% chalcopyrite as disseminations and blebs was sampled and reported 6.08% copper. See Table 1 below

Downhill at 1,594 meters another sample of the vein material consisting of the same iron quartz veining was sampled and returned 3.27% copper and the final sample of the days traverse reported 0.35% copper. See Table 1 below.

On the second day of traverses, a total of 5 additional samples were collected, 1 grab and 4 floats over a vertical altitude of 202 meters. Of the 5 samples, 4 assayed greater that 0.50% copper.

Grab sample D-723596 taken at the 1,620-meter altitude contained minor sulphides and returned 0.05% copper. See Table 1 above, Photo 4 below.

Float sample D-723598 taken at 1,678 meters returned 0.77% copper whereas sample D-723599 taken at the same elevation and consisting of iron quartz carbonate weathered green – black with fault movement slickensides on the surface. On a fresh broken surface, the rock was brassey yellow with moderate malachite with 70% massive chalcopyrite and 1% bornite returned an impressive 21.90% copper.

Sample D-723600 taken 200 meters below of similar iron quartz carbonate returned 0.87% copper. The final sample of the traverse 2 meters below of similar float material assayed 1.27% copper.

As per protocol, all sample locations were taken with GPS along with GPS enabled field cameras of photos of the sampled units. The photos, sample locations and all assay data pertaining to the assay taken, (36 elements were assayed) were tagged in a geo tag format for plotting in .kml / .kmz GIS systems such as Google Earth.

An additional releases on the 2022 exploration program of the Muskwa area will be forth coming in the following weeks.

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.
