China spent $120B to lock down critical minerals overseas: report

New Update

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.

A bank term sheet is a non-binding document outlining the key terms, conditions, and structure of a proposed loan or financial transaction. It serves as a preliminary agreement between a lender and borrower, acting as the basis for drafting final, legally binding loan documentation.

Key Features of a Bank Term Sheet:

Loan Overview: Specifies loan size, purpose (e.g., acquisitions, working capital), and interest rates.

Repayment Terms: Outlines the schedule for repayment, including maturity dates and amortization, according to Investopedia.

Conditions/Covenants: Lists required collateral, financial covenants, and conditions precedent, such as passing due diligence orSifted underwriting.

Validity: Usually non-binding, except for specific clauses like confidentiality, fees, and exclusivity, say Practical Law and Sifted.

Yes , a nutcase.

Creating a jewellery piece involves more than finalising a sketch or digital mock-up. The design needs to be tested in metal to understand how it works as a finished object.

During the latter part of last year, following the highly successful auction sale of our limited edition pure Welsh gold coins, we started work on a limited edition pendant, a collector’s piece to be produced in 18ct Welsh gold extracted from our Clogau mine and hallmarked for authenticity.

As we have developed the Alba pendant, we have worked through several silver and gold prototypes to refine the final design. This included testing different finishes, from soft brushed and polished gold to sandblasted textures, each of which gave the pendant a different character. We also reviewed different ways of attaching the bail, as even small changes affect how the pendant sits, hangs and feels when worn.

Another important detail has been the engraved line within the design. While it appeared clean in the original artwork, in practice a laser cut line can look too deep or too harsh. To achieve the right result, the final line on each pendant will require careful hand-finishing.

These details may be subtle, but they make a real difference. They are what elevate an initial concept into a piece that feels refined, balanced and high quality. We have therefore taken a careful, collaborative approach with the jewellery maker over recent months to ensure the pendant has the luxurious, unisex and high-end feel we want, rather than rushing the process before the design was fully resolved.

We are pleased with the progress and will share the final version once these last refinements are complete.

Will these be made out of solid Welsh gold from Clogau?

Yes, they are intended to be made from solid 18 carat (not plated) Welsh gold sourced from Clogau, with the final specifications and verification marks confirmed once finishing, engraving and hallmarking are complete.

Must be confident regarding future pendant production.

Looks fantastic

The parties will now move into the legally binding documentation phase, with the Company aiming to finalise and execute the necessary detailed agreements over the coming weeks. The Company will update the market and provide further details once definitive agreements have been signed and will be sending a circular to shareholders to approve the plans at that time.

Nice , enjoy the wine !
