Fabled Silver Gold Corp. ("Fabled" or the "Company") (TSXV:FCO)(OTCQB:FBSGF)(FSE:7NQ) announces further results of surface diamond drilling from its upgraded 14,400 -meter drill program on the "Santa Maria" Property in Parral, Mexico
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, "Definition drill hole SM20-44 was designed to fill in a drill poor gap in the past resource area. Of interest is the lack of, or the decrease in gold values found in previous drilling to the east in comparison to results of the drill hole being reported upon. See Figure 1 below.

Preamble
Underground exploration diamond drill hole SMUG21-14 was collared into the footwall of the Santa Maria Structure and intercepted 7.20 meters grading 93.19 g/t Ag Eq, with a higher-grade section including 2.15 meters assaying 168.21 g/t Ag Eq with 0.49 g/t Au. See Photo 1 below
Photo 1 - SMUG21-14
The targeted hanging wall structure returned 6.75 meters grading 193.98 g/t Ag Eq with 0.33 g/t Au which included higher grade intercepts of 3.85 meters grading 313.26 g/t Ag Eq with 0.53 g/t Au and 689.56 g/t Ag Eq with 1.35 g/t Au over 1.35 meters. See photo 2 below.

SM20-44
Definition Diamond Drill Hole SM20-44 was drilled at a dip, or angle, of -75 degrees for a total drilled length of 231 meters and designed to hit the targeted zone at -200 meters below surface.
The hole was successful in hitting the targeted footwall zone over 7.95 meters, at the predicted depth, see Figure 2, Table 1, and Photo 3, below.

Within this interval, 7.95 meters grading 85.56 g/t Ag Eq with 1.10 g/t Au was encountered. This includes higher grade sections within this mineralized gold - silver zone of 5.80 meters grading 104.21 g/t Ag Eq with 1.42 g/t Au, or 4.05 meters reporting 126.19 g/t Ag Eq with 1.68 g/t Au which contained a high-grade 1.10 meter section of 299.20 g/t Ag Eq with 5.00 g/t Au. See Figure 2 above, Table 1 and Photos 3 and 4 below.

Summary
Hole SM20-44 was successful in providing valuable information in this drill poor area as seen in Figure 1. The results of the footwall intercept will continue to be analyzed.
This not only includes the assay data but also structures intercepted, mineralized sheeted veins in dikes, related breccias and potential mineralized plunges or rakes with respect to mineral domains. This will provide a comprehensive detailed view of this section and may be applied to other parts of the property.
As discussed in a previous news release, definition drill hole SM20-42, which is located approximately 300 meters west of drill hole SM20-44, reported gold values with lesser silver values. Conversely, drill hole SM20-43, 75 meters to the west of drill hole SM20-44 reported a silver domain with little to no gold. Now on the current section currently being reported we have a gold - silver domain. In 300 meters there has been a systemic change, perhaps going from a hydrothermal system to an epithermal system and back to a hydrothermal system? This will be further investigated.
Definition diamond drill hole SM20-45 is located approximately 25 meters to the east and designed to test approximately 100 meters above that of SM20-44 and is also planned to fill in a drill poor area. Holes SM20-44 - 49 have been completed, holes 44 - 48 have been submitted for assay. See Figure 3 below.

Shares for Services
The Company has received final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for its proposed shares for services agreement (the "Agreement") with Agora Internet Relations Corp. ("Agora") dated November 15, 2021 as announced by press release dated November 29, 2021. In respect of the services, the Company has issued 169,500 common shares with a value of $0.10 per share. Future issuances of shares are anticipated under the Agreement and the Company will announce the same by news release.

QA QC Procedure
Analytical results of sampling reported by Fabled Silver Gold represent core samples that have been sawn in half with half of the core sampled and submitted by Fabled Silver Gold staff directly to ALS Chemex, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. 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 Silver Gold monitors QA/QC using commercially sourced standards and locally sourced blank materials inserted within the sample sequence at regular intervals.
About Fabled Silver Gold Corp.
Fabled is focused on acquiring, exploring and operating properties that yield near-term metal production. The Company has an experienced management team with multiple years of involvement in mining and exploration in Mexico. The Company's mandate is to focus on acquiring precious metal properties in Mexico with blue-sky exploration potential.
The Company has entered into an agreement with Golden Minerals Company (NYSE American and TSX: AUMN) to acquire the Santa Maria Property, a high-grade silver-gold property situated in the center of the Mexican epithermal silver-gold belt. The belt has been recognized as a significant metallogenic province, which has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the world.
