The Albion occurrence is hosted by micaceous and chlorite schists, quartzites, and limestones of the Mississippian to Lower Permian Milford Group intruded by sills of granite and quartz monzonite and lamprophyre dikes. The vein is parallel to bedding and schistosity and varies considerable in width and grade.

The Albion was crown-granted in 1899 by the Albion Mining Co., and worked intermittently. The property was aquired by Yale Lead and Zinc Mines Ltd. in 1949 and worked as part of the Highlander (082FNE030) property until 1958. The Highlander vein outcrops on the Albion, Banker and Jackpot claims. See Highlander for further details.

The average mining width is 2.3 metres made of about 0.6 metres of nearly barren hangingwall gouge, up to 1 metre of galena and sphalerite in a gangue of quartz and carbonates and up to 1 metre of footwall zone consisting of irregularly spaced veinlets of sphalerite in quartz. The ore is restricted to the vicinity of a shear and a lamprophyre in the vein.
