Market Intelligence
- ALBA confident these grades represent background gold population
- Level 4 investment set for significant RoI
- Increasing confidence of high ‘bonanza’ Gold levels below Level 4
- Record Gold spot prices at US$2,166/oz
George Frangeskides, Executive Chairman, commented:
"These are extraordinarily good results from No.4 Level. Whereas most gold projects measure results in grams per tonne, these grades can be measured in ounces per tonne.
"We always knew there was serious potential for finding high-grade gold at Clogau. But after all the challenges we have faced over the past few years in gaining access to our No.1 target within the mine, to now have that high-grade potential finally confirmed by actual results is extremely heartening. We now look forward to the forthcoming bulk sampling on and below No.4 Level with a great deal of confidence and no little excitement."
