Clogau Update
Gold Coin Sales and Processing Results
Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA), the gold and critical minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to provide this update on the Clogau Gold Project.
Highlights
- Private sale of second and third 1oz, 24-carat gold coins for £21,000 each.
- Further processing and refining of Waste Tip fines through the Company's modified gravity recovery plant has resulted in average head grades being returned of 9.2 g/t.
Gold Coin Sales
The second and third 1-ounce, 24-carat coins in the Company's limited edition "Tyn-y-Cornel" series, struck from Welsh gold mined at the Company's historic Clogau-St David's Gold Mine in North Wales ("Clogau" or the "Mine"), have been sold in a private sale for £21,000 each. The Company put the second coin up for public auction recently, with the highest bid of £18,000 failing to reach the reserve price the Company had set. Since the auction, a private collector has agreed to purchase the second and third coins for £21,000 each.
With the gold price currently standing at almost £2500 per ounce, the price fetched by these latest sales represents a premium of almost 8.5 times the spot price of gold, which is in line with the sale price achieved at auction.
