Albion Resources Limited announced that diamond drilling has commenced at Pillara East, part of the Company's 100% owned Lennard Shelf Zinc-Lead Project (the "Project") in Fitzroy Crossing, southern Kimberley, Western Australia. The drilling program is to comprise up to 15 drill holes for approximately 1,500m, targeting two brecciated gossanous horizons that occupy fault structures at the southern end of the Home Range. The gossans occur within the favourable Pillara Formation, where they are associated with a north-northeast trending fault and alteration fronts comprising dolomite and hydrozincite over basement highs of Precambrian crystalline rocks. Albion's high grade Zinc-Lead Lennard Shelf Project is located in the world class Mississippi Valley type Zinc-Lead province, the Lennard Shelf, approximately 30km southeast of Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley, Western Australia. Despite hosting significant historic mines, Pillara (19.3Mt @ 7.8% Zn + 2.6% Pb) and the Cadjebut Trend (16.4Mt @ 8.9% Zn + 5% Pb), regional exploration in the Lennard Shelf Province has been largely overlooked since the late 1980's. The Lennard Shelf Project covers an expansive area of 319km2 and contains comparable geology to Pillara and the Cadjebut Trend. Work done by Albion to date has assisted in defining prominent ENE trending structures, interpreted to be the control of the zinc-lead mineralisation.
