Alba Mineral Resources issues Clogau update

Highlights

• Ecological permits granted at Clogau comprising a European Protected Species Licence (EPSL), Water Discharge Permit, and Water Abstraction (or Transfer) Licence, in relation to the dewatering and associated exploration of the Lower Llechfraith workings.
• Technical team and contractors now undertaking the necessary on-site preparations so that the dewatering exercise may commence as soon as possible.
• The Lower Llechfraith workings have all the key geological characteristics for the occurrence of high-grade gold mineralisation, including greenstone sills, Clogau Shales and structural complexity in the lode itself.
• Alba’s 2020-21 surface drilling programme proved the downward continuation of the Llechfraith lode structure up to ~122 m below where it was last explored on the No.4 Level; the target structure has been untouched by historical exploration and development.

George Frangeskides, Executive Chairman, commented: “We are delighted to have received the ecological permits to allow us to dewater and explore the Lower Llechfraith workings, our primary gold target within the Clogau-St David’s Gold Mine. Detailed planning has been in train for some time so that we did not lose time once the permits were granted. Accordingly, we are well placed to complete our preparations on site and commence the dewatering exercise within a matter of days. I would like to thank our whole team as well as our highly skilled technical consultants for supporting us throughout the permitting process and I look forward to providing further operational updates in due course.”
