Alba Mineral Resources plc
("Alba" or "the Company")
Placing and Appointment of Joint Broker
Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA) is pleased to announce that it has
raised £500,000 (before expenses) through the issue of 250,000,000 new
ordinary shares at a price of 0.2 pence per ordinary share (the "Placing"),
conditional on the admission of such new ordinary shares to trading on AIM
("Admission").
The placing proceeds are intended to be used principally in relation to the
following project acceleration activities:
-
carrying out a maiden drilling programme at Amitsoq, our graphite project
in southern Greenland which benefits from exceptionally high graphite
grades, with drilling targeting a maiden JORC resource (proposed start date
July 2019);
-
ongoing activities at the Company's Clogau Gold Project in north Wales,
including:
-
-
embarking on what to the Company's knowledge will be the first ever
systematic underground exploration programme to be undertaken in
modern times within the Clogau-St David's Mine, involving some or all
of channel sampling, bulk sampling and drilling (proposed start date
summer 2019); and
-
continuing the regional exploration of the Dolgellau Gold Belt, which has
so far identified seven new gold zones (exploration campaign currently
ongoing); and
completion of the drilling of high-priority targets at the Company's Limerick
base metals project, located in the world-class Irish Zinc Ore Field (drilling
campaign currently ongoing).
SVS Securities Plc have been appointed as Joint Broker to the Company with
immediate effect.
Admission to AIM
Application will be made for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading
on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at
8.00 a.m. on or around 18 June 2019. The new ordinary shares will be issued
credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other
distributions declared, made or paid after Admission and will otherwise rank
on Admission pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the total number of ordinary shares in issue will be
3,526,601,946. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.
Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights will be
3,526,601,946. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share
capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
