Perth, Mar 26, 2008 (ABN Newswire) - ABM Resources (ASX: ABU) Announce that follow up rock chip sampling shows rock chip assays of up to 30.1g/t Au from the Mimosa Gold Project. An up to 8,000m RC drilling program is scheduled to commence by mid April to test quartz vein targets within a regional gold bearing structure.

Mimosa Gold Project Background

ABM Resources NL's (59.33/40.67 JV with Ayr Resources Mozambique Limitada) highly prospective Mimosa gold project is located in the under-explored Archean greenstone belt of the Manica Province in central Mozambique, approximately 800 kilometres north of the Mozambique capital of Maputo.

Mimosa lies in the east-west trending Odzi-Mutare Greenstone Belt which has historically produced an estimated 2.5 million ounces of gold. Local artisanal miners have been mining gold in sheeted quartz veins and stockworks at Mimosa by hand for approximately 20 years. The project consists of three concessions totalling 960 hectares.

Follow up Rock Chip Sampling Program

A follow up rock chip sampling program (first assay results released 14 February 2008) completed at the Mimosa JV Gold Project in Mozambique during February 2008 has returned anomalous results with better results of 4.23 g/t and 30.1g/t Au. The follow up sampling program was designed to collect samples as part of the geological mapping of the project area and also collect samples from an area where previous samples had been damaged during shipment late last year.

Detailed Geological Mapping and Proposed RC Drilling Program

A program of detailed geological mapping to understand the lithologies and structure of the Mimosa project area is still underway. The gold bearing structure strikes approximately ENE. Holes are scheduled to be placed on an E-W grid and angled to the south to intersect the regional structure controlled quartz veins (dipping steeply to the north), and more localised shallow dipping veins. As the first phase of drilling commences, a series of trenches will be dug between the Mimosa pits and the adits. A combination of data collected from these trenches, plus our further understanding of the geology, will aid the planning of drill holes in this poorly exposed area.

ABM Resources entered into a formal Cooperative Agreement with AYR Infrastructure in May 2007 with the objective of securing high quality gold and other mineral projects in Mozambique and Zambia with a view to outlining significant mineral deposits.
