Albion Resources Limited announced that it has received heritage clearance for its maiden drilling program 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 heritage clearance survey (the "Survey") was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Native Title, Heritage Protection and Mineral Protection Agreement signed with the Gooniyandi Aboriginal Corporation, the registered native title body corporate for the Gooniyandi Traditional Owners. The Survey inspected and assessed the proposed work program, including, the specific drill pads, drill holes, access tracks, water supply sources and field camp locations. The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Durock Drilling as its diamond drill contractor following receipt of all necessary approvals to conduct the maiden drill program at Pillara East. The drill program is expected to start this month. The approved drilling program is proposed 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. The system at Pillara East is considered analogous to the Pillara Relay Zone, where N-NNE trending faults developed as dilational Riedel splays from the major NW-trending structures (the Pillara deposit includes 19.3 Mt @ 7.8% Zn, 2.6% Pb). Pillara East also includes numerous anomalous rock chips sampled by BHP and Western Metals that Albion confirmed, identifying galena and sphalerite in hand samples.
