Summary of Geochemical Sampling at Amitsoq
Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA) is pleased to report the geochemical assays from the Amitsoq project (the "Project") in southern Greenland. The samples consist of stream sediment and grab samples as part of a gold exploration programme, grab samples to test the presence of platinum group metals (PGMs) in an ultramafic dyke, and grab samples of graphite occurrences throughout the licence area.
Highlights
� Thirty-three graphite samples were analysed from ten (10) areas and contained an average graphitic carbon content of 20.88% carbon.
� Graphitic carbon content at the new Kalaaq graphite showing averaged 25.62% carbon, with a maximum content of 29.0% carbon.
� Trace element geochemistry of graphite samples showed that they were low in potentially deleterious elements (As, Cd, Hg)
� Grab samples collected from a sulphide-rich area of the Amitsoq hornblende peridodite dyke contained 0.3 g/t platinum, 0.3 g/t palladium, and 0.3 g/t gold.
