Abington Orientation Soil Sample Results

   Abington Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ABL)(PINK SHEETS: ABIZF) is pleased to announce the soil sample results of the Orientation Survey on our Treasure King gold property near Mayer, Arizona.

Forty-eight soil samples were taken to corroborate historic values returned by Royal Gold and to determine if two selective analytical techniques for gold would prove useful for future exploration. The Standard fire assay and EL were performed by Skyline Labs in Tucson, Arizona, while the MMI (Mobile Metal Ion) was sent to SGS in Toronto.

These selective geochemical extraction techniques MMI and EL are complex and are interpreted on contour maps and graphs by professionals. They are likened to geophysical techniques such as magnetometer surveys. Both are used to "see" mineralization at depth. The numbers are not as meaningful as the patterns generated on maps. Standard soil samples (Fire Assay) will have much higher concentrations of dissolved elements and as such, the assay numbers are much higher. MMI and EL report only the values for ions desorbed off the mineral surfaces in the soil. These assays are a small sampling only and are not indicative of mineralization over mineable widths.

Eleven of forty-eight samples returned values over 100 ppb gold with the Standard Fire Assay. The highest soil assay was 943 ppb. Ten samples were taken in each of five lines with fifty foot spacing by professional geologists.

Abington Line A - South Shaft area (samples E1000-1009) - Roughly corresponding to Royal Gold's soil Line 1, Abington's assays were lower than Royal Gold's but showed values of anomalous gold at every sample site. After plotting these Standard/EL/MMI samples on a graph, the profile suggests the anomaly is increasing with depth indicating a possible drill target.

Abington Line B - Main Shaft area (E-1010-1019) - Approximately 1/3 of a mile north of Line A, this line is close to the location of Royal Gold's Line 4. A similar pattern of high gold values occur where both lines cross the ridge top mineralization and nearby samples on the ridge's west side. Here, Abington's results are higher than Royal Gold's.

Abington Line C - North Shaft area (E-1020-1029) - Approximately 2/3 of a mile north of Line B, this line was in the area of the previously drilled Treasure King outcrops. Mineralized chert could not be sampled as there was no soil present. Samples were taken to the east and west and were strongly anomalous with the strongest anomaly in the alteration. The EL and MMI extraction techniques generated a similar pattern to the standard soil profile suggesting the gold distribution observed at the surface continues to depth.

Abington Lines D, E - North Shaft area five hundred feet apart (E-1030-1039, E-1040-1049) - Five hundred feet south of Line C, samples were collected in areas with no observed Proterozoic outcrops. None of the three techniques detected gold over the projected mineralized chert horizon, but anomalous gold was found in footwall alteration. On Line E, a weak standard soil gold anomaly was detected, suggesting the Tertiary basalt is not very thick and iron-rich chert may lie just below the surface. There has been no history of soil testing in the Line E area.

The Standard soil analysis, MMI and Enzyme Leach analysis all indicate the presence of gold mineralization when sampled over altered and mineralized Proterozoic rock units.

Both the rock sample results outlined in Abington's news release dated October 15, 2010, and the soil results described herein, indicate the rock units are favorable for further discovery of stratabound-stratiform gold mineralization related to various hydrothermal alteration systems and associated chemical sediments (cherts) as indicated at the Treasure King locality.

The next phase will involve more localized mapping and soil and rock sampling of the three historic known zones and the two anomalous zones found during our rock sampling program. These steps are an integral part of our view to twinning historic drill holes and to delineate other potential drill targets.
