ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 3 October 2018
Permits Granted for Accrington East
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Permits granted for Accrington East where widespread mineralisation occurs at surface
-
Permits will allow for drilling of the untested Lower Garnet Skarn beneath the Upper Garnet Skarn which returned 102m @ 0.58% Cu, 0.60% Zn and 9 g/t Ag from 194m in initial drilling
-
Roadworks to commence shortly with channel sampling to be conducted on outcrops
-
Results from FR18-005 and FR18-006 expected in October.
Alderan Resources Limited (ASX: AL8) is pleased to provide an update on exploration at Accrington, part of the Company’s Frisco Project located in Utah, USA. Permits for drilling and the construction of new roads have been granted for Accrington East.
The granting of permits over the adjoining federal claims at Accrington East will allow for the direct targeting of the outcropping mineralised Upper and Lower Garnet Skarn. Initial drilling intersected 102m@ 0.58% Cu, 0.60% Zn from 194m within the Upper Garnet Skarn which outcrops at surface at Accrington East. A second, outcropping mineralised horizon (the Lower Garnet Skarn) also outcrops at Accrington East and has not yet been tested by drilling to date. Previous selective sampling of old mine dumps within this second mineralised horizon returned copper (up to 5.66%), zinc (up to 10.65%), lead (up to 12.70%), silver (up to 858 g/t) and gold (up to 1.1 g/t)[1] .

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 3 October 2018
Roadworks are set to commence at Accrington East in the coming week. Channel sampling will be conducted across mineralised outcrops exposed by road building. Drilling at Accrington East will target outcropping magnetite skarn and its continuation at depth, known as the Lower Garnet Skarn and will commence following the completion of drilling along the Upper Accrington Road.
The drill program at Accrington is part of an ongoing 6000-7000m program that commenced in June with the objective of testing the Perseverance prospect and demonstrating the resource potential of copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold bearing skarns that crop out from Imperial to Accrington East across an area of up to 1000m by 400m.

About Accrington & Frisco
Accrington is a large mineralised skarn measuring approximately 4km by up to 2km. Historical mining activity has taken place throughout the skarn, focusing on both high grade, structurally controlled or carbonate replacement/ manto - type Cu-Zn-Pb--Au-Ag occurences. Many prospect pits, exposing mineralisation, occur throughout the skarn.
The principal focus of the Company is on thick copper-zinc-lead-gold-silver- bearing garnet skarns outcropping at Accrington East and the Imperial Mine, over an area of 1000m and up to 400m wide. These exposed mineralised units are expected to continue at depth to the south towards Double Barrel and Washington (refer to Figure 4).
Historical drilling was undertaken within a limited area at the Imperial Mine by Bear Creek Mining Company in 1967. Drilling took place mostly from within underground workings and comprised

short drill holes within the Upper Garnet Skarn to the west of current drilling including FR18-004. Historical results included:
-
36.6m @ 1.23% Cu, 0.6% Zn (from 0m to end of hole);
-
26.8m @ 1.40% Cu from (from 0m);
-
41.5m @ 0.94% Cu, 0.39% Zn (from 0m to end of hole);
-
26.8m @ 1.01% Cu (from 12m to end of hole);
-
59.7m @ 0.59% Cu, 0.22% Zn (from 6.1m to 65.84m); and
-
85.34m @ 0.30% Cu, 0.46% Zn (from 38.1m to 123.44m).
For a full description of historical drill results refer to the ASX announcement “Alderan Resources expands Frisco Project” published on 19 July 2017.
Accrington is located in a region with exceptional infrastructure, low cost power, a skilled workforce, a competitive taxation system and proximal smelters and end users. The United States is also host to several large skarn hosted mines and developments such as Pumpkin Hollow (503mt @ 0.43% Cu) and the Phoenix Mine (309 mt @ 0.89 g/t Au, 0.15% Cu).
