These images show more than a single blast. They capture the development cycle underground at Clogau: the face prepared and tied in for firing, followed by post-blast re-entry, scaling, inspection and review of the newly exposed ground. The latest round of blasting this week delivered 1.5m of advance, bringing total advance on Level 5 to 12.4m. Several of the images also show the geology now exposed at the face, including quartz vein-rich zones against darker host rock. Geology fact: in gold systems like Clogau, every newly exposed face adds to the geological picture, helping the team map structures and better understand the gold-bearing mineralisation underground. Operational update only. Any material information will continue to be communicated through the appropriate channels. albamineralresources.com/activity-updat… #AlbaMineralResources #Clogau #WelshGold #ResponsibleMining #UndergroundMining #MiningSafety #GoldExploration #Geology #Wales

At this week’s APPG on Critical Minerals in Parliament, Alba Mineral Resources plc was represented by George Frangeskides, Executive Chairman, and Dr Curtis Rooks, Principal Geologist, who is shown in the foreground. The discussion focused on some of the key themes shaping the sector globally: geopolitical risk, Chinese dominance, the G7 response, China’s new Five-Year Plan, and where the UK fits into the wider critical minerals picture. That broader context matters. Critical minerals are not just a geological story. They sit at the centre of industrial policy, supply chain resilience, processing strategy and long-term economic security. It is good to see more attention being given to how the UK can position itself in this space, and to the role that responsible exploration and allied supply chains may play in that.

Spectral scanning and hyperspectral imaging are becoming genuinely useful tools in rare earth exploration. That is because some rare earth minerals carry distinctive spectral signatures. Neodymium, in particular, has some of the clearest absorption features, which is why it is often used as a pathfinder for broader rare earth mineralisation. Published work has shown that these signals can be detected in the right geological setting, even at relatively low concentrations. albamineralresources.com/activity-updat… #AlbaMineralResources #CriticalMinerals #RareEarths #ResponsibleMining #Exploration #MiningTechnology

@brighouserecord Thanks for the question. We encountered fractured ground on the last round of drilling. After blasting, the new face appears less fractured and more stable, which should be a positive for the next round of drilling and blasting.

Last Friday at Clogau, the team completed another controlled drill-and-blast cycle at Level 5. The round delivered an advance of approximately 1.1 metres, with ground conditions appearing to improve following the blast, which is a positive for the next round of drilling and blasting. Work continues with the usual disciplined sequence of ventilation and checks, inspection, and preparation for the next cycle, as the Level 5 development progresses. Total advance to date is approximately 10.9 metres. albamineralresources.com/activity-updat… #Clogau #Wales #UndergroundMining #OperationalUpdate #BulkSampling #Exploration #Mining #MiningSafety #ResponsibleMining #ESG #AlbaMineralResources

In many rare earth systems, rock structures and alteration can help show where mineralisation is concentrated. Faults, fractures and breccias can act as pathways for hot, mineral-rich fluids moving through the rock. A fracture zone is not just a crack, it can be the plumbing that focused rare earth bearing fluids into specific veins or breccias. As those fluids moved, they altered the surrounding rock and sometimes deposited valuable minerals. albamineralresources.com/activity-updat… #Exploration #Geology #REE #CriticalMinerals #ResponsibleMining #Greenland #AlbaMineralResources

Progress across Alba's key projects this week. • Clogau (Wales): Meshing and bolting completed, 54 additional bulk bags brought to surface. Next blast scheduled today. • Motzfeldt (Greenland): Productive PDAC meetings with Kujalleq Municipality and technical partners; testwork continues in South Africa. • GreenRoc: EU Strategic Project certificate presented at PDAC. Encouraging interest from governments and institutions in supporting Greenland’s critical minerals sector. albamineralresources.com/activity-updat… #AlbaMineralResources #CriticalMinerals #Greenland #WelshGold

A quick recap from PDAC 2026 in Toronto from our Executive Chairman, George Frangeskides It’s been a strong week of meetings and conversations. On the GreenRoc side, we were pleased to see the EU Commissioner present the Amitsoq project with its Strategic Project certificate, alongside strong interest and engagement as Amitsoq moves forward. For Alba Mineral Resources, with our new Motzfeldt acquisition, we held constructive meetings with government stakeholders on potential funding pathways, and met with contractors as we plan the summer field programme at Motzfeldt. More to share now we’re back in the UK. #PDAC2026 #AlbaMineralResources #CriticalMinerals #Graphite #EnergyTransition #ResponsibleMining #Mining

PDAC 2026, Toronto. Great to be on the ground this week with our Executive Chairman, George Frangeskides, and Dr Curtis Rooks, Principal Geologist. We were also pleased to meet the British High Commissioner for Canada, Rob Tinline, and discuss the growing focus on secure, responsible critical minerals supply chains. More updates to follow as meetings continue. #PDAC2026 #CriticalMinerals #AlbaMineralResources #ResponsibleMining

South Greenland is attracting increasing attention as a strategic jurisdiction for critical minerals. It sits between North America and Europe and hosts the South Greenland Alkaline Corridor, a globally recognised belt of alkaline systems associated with Rare earths and related mineralisation, with well known projects in the region including Alba's Motzfeldt and peer projects Kringlerne and Kvanefjeld. albamineralresources.com/activity-updat… #AlbaMineralResources #CriticalMinerals #RareEarths #Greenland #ResponsibleExploration
