With what feels like the whole world talking about The Royal Wedding Alba look set to ride the Meghan Markle Effect (or in the case of Gold Rings, the Meghan Markle Sparkle :-) What American lady wouldn't want an engagement or wedding ring made from Royal Gold as worn by Their own Princess... https://quartzy.qz.com/1264609/the-meghan-markle-effect-on-clothing-brands-such-as-strathberry-and-hiut-denim/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-42081538 Rare is good for Gold and Alba are set to start finding more rare Gold

The UAE buys its Sand in huge quantities already. Desert Sand is no good for building, ironic or what: http://edgardaily.com/en/life/2016/strange-but-true-the-uae-imports-its-sand-31668

Alba have stated that they have some of the best grade Graphite Globally. The question is how much do they Have ? The EV market is really gaining momentum and Graphite is a major component in EV car batteries: http://www.hybridcars.com/volkswagen-buys-48b-worth-ev-batteries/

This would be the Pain part.. I could have sold and got back in at the now near placing price ( which I should have !) but having my Rose Tinted Glasses on and I suspect many others did the same. I'm not panicking about a 25% share price drop short term. Funds in place for HH, Brockham, Greenland and Wales so lets see how it plays out. This has to be a great opportunity for new investors to jump on board...

Thread from HotCopper is worth a read: https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/lithium-demand-surge.4133377/?get_post=true#.WvpvC4gvzcs First post includes link: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/lithium-demand-surge-turns-light-on-europes-mines-2018-04-13 Post 746: http://m.futurecar.com/2257/Hyundai-Halts-Ioniq-Production-Due-to-Battery-Shortage Some very interesting posts in the thread

I have to say I find Kiran very difficult to listen to, however the investments I find much easier to understand ! I've picked up a few shares today.. Looking forward to following this one and it's Global investments.

Is anyone else expecting a TR-1 this week? Following Admission, the total number of ordinary shares in issue will be 2,848,614,934. The 100m share purchase during the previous placing raised questions on this board regarding a probable TR-1 and the latest issue of 266,666,666 new ordinary shares at the same price of 0.3 pence per ordinary share seemingly not being traded last week makes me think we can expect a TR-1 next week. Could it by Gunsynd adding more shares to their 5,000,000 or perhaps Primorus Investments (unsure if they still hold Alba shares ? I'm hoping a BIG Mining Company has taken an interest, now wouldn't that be interesting ??

Alba tweeted about Megan Markles Wedding Ring and Alba getting a mention in the Daily Mirror. Unlikely to send the share price rocketing on its own but with interest in the wedding around the World Alba should benifit from the Royal connection. Some HH news must be imminent

https://molevalley.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/254875 Margaret Cocksey talks about a request for a Canteen type thing and states well dont people take sandwiches with them anymore ? A building for a canteen? don't think so... Did she ever take sandwiches to work and sit out in the rain eating them ? I doubt it somehow..

Krull Thank you for finding and posting the recent Alba UK Investor Show Presentation. GF looked good and very relaxed. Plenty of reasons to see potential realised in Alba in the coming Months

DZ Seeing as how you are now out is there any chance you can refrain from trying to justify yourself and persist in your negativity on this board. Good luck in the future and I hope you find happiness with your stray cats

This time with link ! https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/psc/rh6-0hn-horse-hill-developments-1/supporting_documents/Schedule%205%20Response%20%20Waste%20Management%20Plan%20030217%20.pdf

With plenty of focus on the EWT's the drilling of Horse Hill-2 has been largely forgotten. Page 6 from the HHDL Waste Management Plan is helpful in understanding the EWT's, the deviated sidetrack from HH-1 and the drilling of the new well HH-2. So if phase 1 goes well, phase 2 and phase 3 will be implemented..These would be costly and I suspect this is why more funds have been raised. Your thoughts please ?

On a lighter note GF bears a striking resemblance to the Bearded Lady in The Greatest Showman :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxugyZCfuw

I'm starting ti think DZ was right and that Alba should have invested in Chip Shops ! I'm half expecting GF to announce a planned new ilmenite peoject on the Moon !! The only positive I can find from this placing is that Alba's 'Oil Experts' must have given GF the Green light to crack on...

I seem to remember OGA requiring a certain amount of funds in place required before approval is given? Could be wrong but it would make sense... Anyone know if this is the case ?

Interesting article about Graphite prices and demand: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4160278-graphite-miners-news-month-march-2018 Price increases for Graphite look good for Amitsoq and Kalaaq subject to the maiden JORC resource mentioned in the recent RNS...
