Albion Resources Limited announced numerous high-grade rock chip results in copper, lead, and zinc revealed through a detailed review of the historical exploration at its Pillara East Project. Numerous rock chip samples with elevated zinc, lead, and copper returned assays exceeding 10% combined Pb + Zn, with some samples exceeding 3% Cu. Best results include 36% Pb, 35.7% Pb, 27.5% Zn, 26.1% Zn, 3.66% Cu and 3.65% Cu. Highlights: High-grade zinc, lead and copper results from historical rock chip sampling by BHP and Western Areas uncovered at the Pillara East Project. Numerous significant samples reported, with grades up to 27.5% Zn, 36% Pb and 3.66% Cu. Visual indications of mineralisation observed by BHP and Western Areas: The most significant samples coincide with the western Devious and eastern Extreme gossans; Prioritises Albion's immediate exploration in the vicinity of the gossans, which remain untested by drilling. The Company has submitted a program of works for a drilling program at the gossans. Data review of the Pillara East Project and surrounding tenements continues. Albion's early efforts have comprised processing of recently acquired airborne geophysical data and desktop studies into the historical exploration completed by Amax Resources, BHP, and Western Areas to build a comprehensive database. One hundred and twenty (120) rock chip samples, chiefly collected by Western Areas in 1995 and BHP in the early 1980s, were captured during the exercise. Metal tenor ranged between 0.015 ­ 27.5% Zn, 0.01 ­ 36% Pb and 0.0001 ­ 3.66% Cu, with most high-grade results corresponding with previously identified gossans, including the Extreme, Chance and Devious gossans. Each gossan occurs in favourable geology (Pillara Formation), is associated with a north-northeast trending fault and features alteration fronts comprising dolomite and hydrozincite. The latter represents an oxidation product of zinc ores. The N-NNE trending faults developed as dilational Riedel splays from the major NE-trending structures in the Pillara Relay Zone, a setting analogous to the adjacent Pillara deposit (19.3 Mt @7.8% Zn, 2.6% Pb) 1. Only the Chance Gossan has been tested by drilling, though rather poorly. Nearby drilling, almost due south of the Devious Gossan, includes drill hole EPP11 which assayed 4.6m @ 5% Zn and 30.5% Pb from a vertical depth of approximately 47m. Interestingly, the Devious and Extreme gossans exhibit different geochemical characters, with the former being zinc dominant and the latter lead enriched. The reason for this requires further consideration. The copper results of 3.66%, 3.65% and 3.62%, among others, relate to enrichment in Sadler Formation, which stratigraphically lies above the target Pillara Formation. The copper enrichment requires ground-truthing before any comment is made. This first pass analysis has encouragingly highlighted exploration target areas in favourable structural and stratigraphic locations, supported by geochemistry, nearby drill intercepts, the presence of surface gossans and alteration products related to mineralisation. Albion has submitted a Program of Works application to DMIRS covering some of the identified positions. The POW remains subject to Native Title Party Clearance. The Company will quickly move to confirm the prospectivity via geochemical sampling, geological and structural mapping programs to confirm additional drill targets and generate new high-grade lead, zinc and potentially copper discoveries across the tenement package.
