Albion Resources Limited announced to report promising assays results from the 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 program involved drilling 15 NQ holes for a total of 1,700m and sought to confirm and extend mineralisation identified in the historical EPP11 intercept, which produced 4.6m @ 5% Zn and 30.5% Pb from a vertical depth of 47m. Pleasingly, Albion intersected Zinc and Lead, in 14 out of 15 holes, extending the mineralisation beyond the original EPP11 intercept.

Two styles of mineralisation were intercepted. The first is a tectonically controlled breccia developed in fault zones within platform facies carbonates. The mineralised breccia show limestone clasts rimmed by sphalerite, galena, marcasite, and occasional sparry calcite.

The style of mineralisation is reminiscent of the Pillara deposit. The second style is high-angle vein and crackle breccia zones within platform and fore-reef facies carbonates. This mineralisation is generally higher in lead with only minor marcasite and calcite.

This style of mineralisation is similar to that seen at several places along the Lennard Shelf including the Gap Creek Prospect. The program involved drilling 15 NQ holes for a total of 1,700m targeting fault-controlled mineralisation along the ENE trending Uncle Billy Fault (EPDD2101 ­ EPDD2109) and extensions of the NNE trending Devious Fault (EPDD2110, EPDD2112 - EPDD2113) as well as to locate and extend mineralisation identified in the historical EPP11 intercept (EPDD2111, EPDD2114 - EPDD2115). The Company reported near surface zinc-lead mineralisation was intersected in numerous drill holes along and adjacent to the Uncle Billy Fault.

Eleven holes were enveloped within the Western POW area, with five holes directly targeting the Uncle Billy Fault and encountering highly encouraging shallow mineralisation. EPPDD2101 and EPP2102 both intersected tectonically controlled breccia developed in fault zones within platform facies carbonates, reminiscent of the Pillara deposit. Significant assays for these holes included 10.10m @ 2.55% Pb + Zn from 29m and 1.72m @ 13.51% Pb + Zn from 55m, proving the Uncle Billy Fault to be highly prospective.

Three holes were designed to test extensions of the Devious Fault. Rock chips over the outcropping Devious Gossan along the Devious Fault previously confirmed high grade mineralisation exists. Limited significant intercepts were encountered in these holes, with one possible hypothesis that mineralised fluids preferring to transport along the Uncle Billy Fault.

Four holes were enveloped within the Eastern POW area, all targeting the prospective Uncle Billy Fault. The Company was able to confirm that mineralisation within and adjacent to the Uncle Billy Fault extends well beyond the Western POW, where the historical drillhole EPP11 is located. The Company believes the assay results confirm a mineralised system is present and highlight the potential for discovering new areas of lead-zinc mineralisation associated with the Uncle Billy Fault which remains largely untested.

Importantly, the mineralisation intersected by Albion is shallow, with most encountered at depths around 30m ­ 60m below surface. The Company has commenced integrating the drilling results with all historical data sets and planning for an active 2022 exploration program across its 100% owned Lennard Shelf Project.
