Albion Resources Limited (ASX:ALB) has intersected faulted-controlled zinc-lead mineralisation in all diamond drill holes completed to date at Pillara East, part of the company’s 100% owned Lennard Shelf Zinc-Lead Project in southern Kimberley, Western Australia.
The company believes the visual observations, including marcasite and mineralised breccias featuring sphalerite and galena, highlight the potential for discovering new areas of economic lead-zinc mineralisation adjacent to the Uncle Billy Fault or in the nearby Western Embayment. Drilling across the prospective geology is continuing.
Albion’s maiden diamond drilling programme seeks 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 approximately 47m. The company has intersected Pb and Zn, with associated marcasite, in all eight developed holes, confirming and extending the mineralisation beyond the original EPP11 intercept.
