Alba Mineral Resrcs. - Operational Update

Alba Mineral Resources Plc (AIM: ALBA) is pleased to report on the progress of ongoing works at the Company’s 100% owned Clogau-St David’s Gold Mine in north Wales (“Clogau” or the “Mine”) and on its completed site visits to its optioned projects in Sweden and Tanzania.

Key Points:

Clogau

· Continuous drilling and blasting operations are ongoing at Clogau, with 565 man-days having been completed in total since pre-blasting operations began in early August.

· Estimated 120 tonnes of ore to date removed to surface for processing, combination of historic and newly blasted material.

· Large amounts of visible sulphide mineralisation encountered in blasted rocks. The high level of sulphide mineralisation within the projected payshoot considered good indicator of associated gold mineralisation.

· Visible gold also identified within blasted ore.

Optioned Projects

· Site visits conducted by Alba at Finnsbo and Norrby Projects in Sweden. Sampling of highly interesting Finnsbo outcrop returned anomalous results for both gold and REE, including grades of >10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 2.36% TREO, in line with high-grade results previously reported by Project owners and corroborating presence of visible gold identified during site visit.

· Site visits conducted to optioned gold licences in Tanzania. Full report of consulting geologist awaited, together with assay results from samples collected.
