VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 17, 2023 / Fabled Copper Corp. (" Fabled " or the " Company ") (CSE:FABL; FSE:XZ7) is pleased to announce the first Phase sampling program on the Volt 1 Property in Quebec.
The VOLT 1 Property is comprised of 9 contiguous cells with a total size of 504 hectares. The VOLT 2 Property is comprised of 2 contiguous cells nearby with a total size of 112 hectares. Both properties are located due east of the village of Miquelon, Quebec and are surrounded by Mosaic Minerals Corp.'s (CSE: MOC) "Lithium SM Project."

Preamble
The late spring and summer of 2023 has been challenging due to forest fires in northern Quebec and as a result work in the forest was prohibited. In late July 2023 the ban was lifted for one day in the area of the VOLT 1 Property area and a first phase exploration sampling program was conducted over a period of half a day due to locating property access. The main objectives of the program were as follows:
- Accessibility, road conditions, field conditions.
- Do reported pegmatites exist and over what area.
- If pegmatites are found, are they boulders, glacial trains or insitu outcrops.
- Do the boulders and or outcrops contain lithium and or associated subset of minerals and are the concentration of minerals associated with a particular type of texture, fine grained verses coarse grained.
- And finally do the results warrant and more comprehensive field program.
Discussion on the Findings.
During late July, 2023 the VOLT 1 Property was prospected and sampled over a half day and samples 28921 - 28923, were collected over an area of approximately 500 meters in length. See Map 1 below, Table 1 below.
The purpose of the sampling to was obtain typical pegmatite samples over the greatest area possible, in the fasted time possible due to travel distance back to Val D'Or. The 3 samples taken on outcropping pegmatites on a west trending road in the central portion of the property are by no means indicative of the property potential.
The volume of visible surface outcroppings on the higher portion of the property should allow a proper property wide evaluation. See Map 1 - Sample locations and yellow arrows indicating visible outcrops from google earth. Note the extent of outcropping form the road sampled.
Map 1 - Sample Locations
The central 3 outcrops sampled were composed of fine grained pegmatite. LTC pegmatites comprise a compositional defined subset of granitic pegmatites. The majority minerals are quartz, potassium feldspar, albite and muscovite all present in the pegmatites viewed See Photo 3 below.
LTC pegmatites crystallize at remarkably low temperatures (about 350 - 550 C) in a short period of time thus the large crystal sizes of associated minerals.

Early stage reconnaissance in the central part of the property has confirmed the presence of lithium (Li), cesium (Cs), tantalum (Ta), rubidium (Rb), beryl (Be), potassium (K) and niobium (Nb) in all 3 samples except for sample 28921 which lacked Ta. See Table 1 below.
Of the 3 samples, No. 28922 was very elevated compared to the other 2 samples.

Next Step Forwards
With only 3 samples taken over the entire property, mineral assays of interest and excellent road access in the central sector and as seen by google earth wide-spread out crop is yet to be sampled a Second Phase Exploration Program has already begun with a team currently in the field. This work will consist of follow:
About Fabled Copper Corp.
Fabled is a junior mining exploration company. Its current focus is to creating value for stakeholders through the exploration and development of its existing drill ready copper properties located in northern British Columbia.
