Abington Treasure King North Shaft Results/Private Placement

   Abington Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ABL)(PINK SHEETS: ABIZF) announces results of its rock sampling program in the North Shaft area of our Treasure King gold property in Arizona.

A total of eighty-five rock samples were taken averaging 20 pounds each. These large sample sizes were necessary to establish the cause of varied analytical results reported for gold on the Treasure King chert in the North Shaft area. The majority of historic drilling was done here by REDCO and Royal Gold in the late 1980's. All samples were initially fire assayed with AA finish, over limits with gravimetric finish.

Seven samples were selected to be re-assayed via metallic screen analysis. These results are shown below.

(i) 1.0 ppm = 1.0 gram per metric tonne = 0.029 ounces per ton

All samples were collected by professional geologists and one supervised assistant not affiliated with Abington. Samples were kept in a locked facility until picked up by a Skyline Laboratories truck and taken to their lab in Tucson. Fourteen check analyses were performed by Skyline on the initial pulp for Quality Control. All assays are from select samples only and are not indicative of mineralization over mineable widths.

Seven of the 85 samples returned values over 1,000 ppb gold with the Standard Fire Assay. Thirty-two assayed between 100 ppb and 893 ppb gold. The balance ran from less than 5 ppb Au to 96 ppb Au. The highest assay was 4.25 grams per metric ton (.124 ounces per ton).

Comparing the check analyses and reported results, using an arbitrary cut-off of 50 ppb in the original sample assays, there appears to be a difference of 13.4%. Comparing the average difference between the calculated total gold from the metallic screen analyses and gold from the original pulps resulted in an average difference of 12.7%. These results suggest that if nugget effect exists in the Treasure King chert, it is very localized.

The average difference between the original and check pulps from the property-wide database (14%) and the Treasure King database (13.4%), and the average difference between the original pulps (13.4%) and the metallic screen analyses (12.7%) from the current program. suggests selecting overly large volumes of sample and total pulverization is not necessary when drilling the Treasure King chert. It appears that variation in the FeOx (iron oxide) clot distribution in each sample contributes to sample heterogeneity and associated lack of reproducibility.

In addition to the sampling, geological contacts of the chert were mapped at a more detailed scale than previous property-wide mapping showing textural and mineralogical variation within the rock. Outcrops illustrating these alterations were photographed and could be used during drill core logging.

Our geologist had suggested two possibilities for future exploration as outlined in the Abington news release dated June 7, 2011. Number one was this phase of larger size samples to rule out the "nugget effect" affecting the degree of reproducibility. It has now been established that sample size and total pulverization is not necessary when drilling the Treasure King chert.

Number two was the possibility that grade increases with depth. It does appear that zoning exists in the chert which could suggest that any outcrops with detectable gold no matter how weak the anomaly, could be drilled. Anomalous gold results have been generated along the five major trends on the property.

After additional consultation with our geologist, Abington intends to discuss the potential for obtaining large pit and/or drill permits with regulatory bodies in Arizona. The Company will utilize the knowledge gained from this sampling program to minimize reproducibility issues based on the heterogeneous nature of the alteration and mineralization in future work on the Treasure King chert.
