Saltfleetby Gas Field Workover

In line with the Company's previously announced production enhancement strategy, Angus is pleased to announce the commencement of a planned workover programme at the Saltfleetby Gas Field. The workovers will be a coil tubing deployed wellbore clean-up in two wells to remove any additives left during the original drilling process, lift accumulated liquids within the wellbore and remediate any near wellbore damage that may have occurred naturally over time. These workovers aim to improve production and reliability from the two wells.

During the workover programme production will be periodically suspended, with expected uptime at circa 90% in December 2025 and circa 60% in January 2026. The workover programme is designed over two phases, with the physical intervention followed by a clean-up period of approximately four to six weeks, before the results of the workovers can be assessed in March 2026.

Carlos Fernandes, Finance Director comments: "The team has worked diligently on the planning of these production enhancement projects, which are fully supported by the Company's lender, Trafigura. We are excited to have these significant projects underway and look forward to updating the market on the results."

Nice Christmas Present. AT

George Frangeskides, Alba's Executive Chairman, commented:

"We are delighted to have recommenced the drilling and blasting programme at Clogau. This has only been possible because of the dedication and expertise of the Alba team and our contractors on site throughout the past months.

"With the first blast now successfully completed, the work on the Llechfraith gold target has resumed in earnest and will kick on again from the beginning of January."

Operational Update

Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA), the gold and critical raw materials focused exploration and development company, provides this operational update in respect of the Clogau St David's Gold Mine in Wales ("Clogau" or the "Mine").

Following the completion of the recent phase of underground works at the Mine, the Company is pleased to confirm the resumption of drilling and blasting operations at the Llechfraith Target, Alba's priority gold target at Clogau. An estimated 15 or so tonnes of blast material are in the process of being removed from underground following the first successfully completed blast.

Drilling and blasting operations are scheduled to resume in the first full week of January 2026. In the interim, work will continue in the pilot processing plant and on other ongoing mine maintenance.

Jezz , its only a matter of time. ATB

Graphite Demand

Global graphite demand is surging, driven primarily by electric vehicle (EV) batteries, leading to projections of massive growth (over 100% by 2030) and potential supply shortages, prompting urgent development of new mines outside China, which currently dominates the market, to meet needs for the clean energy transition and industrial applications like steelmaking.

Europe

Europe's battery storage capacity is rapidly expanding, reaching over 61 GWh by the end of 2024 and projected to surpass 100 GW (total energy storage, including pumped hydro) soon, with significant growth driven by grid-scale projects and supporting the influx of renewables, though much more is needed to meet 2030 goals, requiring substantial policy support and market reforms.

Demand for battery storage is skyrocketing globally, driven by the need to integrate intermittent renewables (solar/wind) into power grids, electrify transport (EVs), and provide grid stability, with massive investments pouring in for utility-scale projects, behind-the-meter systems (residential/commercial), and supporting the net-zero transition, with forecasts showing exponential growth in capacity through 2030 and beyond.

Guys , I have 16 Solar Panels , 3 Battery Packs an EV charger all Duracell and an EV car. I have reduced my standing order by £320pm , also have a an export contract with Octopus. Should have done it years ago. ATB
