VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 17 /CNW Telbec/ - Sable Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SAE)
is pleased to announce that it has completed 21 diamond drill holes focusing
on the Creek Zone on the Shasta Property in northern British Columbia.
Highlights include 0.236 oz/t of Gold and 11.75 oz/t of Silver over 98 feet.
"Drill Hole 21 has encountered mineralization to a greater depth than any
previous drilling done in the area" stated Mr. Mel Rahal, President and CEO at
Sable. Diamond drilling continues to demonstrate the large presence of
significant gold and silver mineralization along the Shasta Fault. It is open
along strike in both directions. The Shasta Fault which controls
mineralization in the area has a known strike length of over 5 kilometres on
the Shasta Property.
The program commenced on April 15, 2006, and used a diamond drill (NQ
core) from Britton Brothers Ltd. The program was designed to in-fill a
north-south area in mineralized stockwork breccias on the east (footwall) side
of the Shasta Fault. Holes were collared roughly on a north-south line and on
a 90 degree azimuth. Generally, two holes were drilled from the same set-up,
at dips of -45 and -60 degrees. The Shasta Creek zone has been extensively
drilled by the Company over the past several years, and open-pit mining at the
north end of the zone was conducted in the summers of 2004 and 2005.
Drilling from 2005 demonstrated a continuous mineralized zone extending
over 160 metres. Drilling in 2006 was designed to extend the zone to the north
and to further delineate the resources for mining purposes.

Quality Control and Assurance
-----------------------------
Exploration of the Company's Shasta property is under the supervision of
Ed Craft, P.Eng., a Director of the Company and a "qualified person" as
defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Craft is responsible for the preparation of the
technical information in this news release.
Mineralized core sections below the footwall of the Shasta fault were
sampled at approximately one metre intervals and split in half. Mineralized
intervals reported are drill core lengths and may not accurately reflect the
actual width of mineralization. Core recovery is on average 95%. One half of
the core was archived at the Company's core storage facility, while the other
half was crushed, pulverized, and split at the Company's assay lab at the
Baker mill, where pulp samples weighing approximately 100 grams were assayed
using the fire assay technique. Check samples, including high values, random
samples, and blanks, were sent to ALS-Chemex labs in Vancouver, BC for fire
assay for gold and silver. Correlation of independent check samples results
with the Company's assay results were favorable, within the samples and
reflecting historical normal sampling variations.
