The completed drilling programme has given the Company great confidence in the geological model that has been developed for the Llechfraith mine area. Depending on the results obtained from the Company's assaying of the drill core, future work at the Llechfraith mine area could include dewatering the No. 3 and No. 4 level (see Figure 5 in the PDF version of this announcement) to enable access to be gained there, so that bulk sampling could then be carried out of the areas of reported visible gold.
Further drilling from Alba's freehold land at Llechfraith is largely constrained by the limitations of the site, however it is possible that further drilling of the Llechfraith mine area target could be conducted from No. 4 level, drilling directly down into the favourable geology which has now been shown to exist for at least 25 metres below No. 4 level.
Otherwise, the Company plans to drill in 2020 both from surface (along strike from Llechfraith, down below the underground workings at Clogau-St David's) and from underground within the Mine itself, as set out in the Company's current Corporate Presentation (which is available at www.albamineralresources.com).
