Following the completion of the recent phase of underground works at the Mine, the Company is pleased to confirm the resumption of drilling and blasting operations at the Llechfraith Target, Alba's priority gold target at Clogau.

"We are delighted to have recommenced the drilling and blasting programme at Clogau. This has only been possible because of the dedication and expertise of the Alba team and our contractors on site throughout the past months.
