NEW DISCOVERIES EXPAND VERDSTONE PROJECT

ABINGTON VENTURES INC. (the "Corporation") During the last few months field personnel retained by the Corporation has made significant discoveries. The new discoveries on Corporation optioned property is in an area of previous IP work where anomalies have been defined as the V4 zone. The material is described as green quartz similar to the Verdstone Mine vein material.

A new zone has been identified that bears green quartz similar to the Verdstone Mine material in an area of two large clay patches. This zone, called Verdstone East or VE will be sampled and detailed immediately.

Work conducted by the same personnel working for Hellix Ventures Inc., located veins within a kilometer of the Verdstone Gold Mine. Samples collected by a “Qualified Person” from this vein yielded gold to 0.27 ounces per ton from the surface material, hosted in brecciated greenish quartz vein float.

The most notable zone located recently, is a large area of green quartz in outcrop and scattered over a large area with major clay fields. This area is located to the west of the Verdstone Mine. This zone has never been sampled or trenched by any previous exploration effort.

All of the new discoveries are within existing claims optioned by Company. The company plans on IP and drill testing the best of these discoveries.

The Verdstone Mine consisted of three stacked zones of mineralization, which were profitably mined, one after another from approximately 1992 to 1996. Production was estimated at approximately 500,000 tons of 0.5 ounce per ton gold. The company’s first drill programme discovered a new zone (V3W) and is consistent with the geology of epithermal gold deposits and could indicate replication throughout the area.
