Nice RNS

Well done to George F , Mark A, and the Alba team. Thanks for all the hard work you have been doing behind the scenes over the last few years.

Sorry Robbie, I ment to say ..I got no indication of why lab results are taking so long..just it takes time..

@Robbie No indication of when the results from the lab will be back . My hunch is, and this is just a hunch, is that they are back or just need finalising, I would not bet against an RNS with Lab results combined with announcement to when level 4 sampling proper begins. With the planning application for level 4 being granted either tomorrow or Monday, I would as you say.. expect an RNS very soon..

They do have an important purpose, the geologist know what they are doing and looking for, I just did not want people expecting bonanza gold grades, such as what could be found when on the gold vein.,the clumpy stuff so to speak.we already know the concentrates are rich in sulphites, this is already valuable information.

To answer another question. I don't do the photos, Facebook ect. Pics just for my own personal use. Was great to see the water being pumped from the mine into to the settlement tank and out into the river. The site look good, well maintained. Alba have also made part of the road up to the mine more accessable by surfacing it, nice job they have done and no small task.

To a question..your right, I can not divulge any confidential information, or information that may indirectly be classed as confidential. I did have a lengthy conversation with someone who knows what they are talking about. A word on the gold sampling results, we need to remember, what has been sent if to the lab is effectively wall scrapings, and due to the nature of our gold, the results from these samples, whilst indicators, they are not expected to be..wow ..look at all the gold. The max publicity will only come, when we have something worth shouting about.

Alot of green on my message board recently. Sorry I can not explain my reasons for my optimism , but it's genuine. I guess time will tell who is talking sense based on knowledge any who is not. As always DYOR.

Robbie, I can not say, apart from I genuinely have never been more confident now, than I have ever been , and I am at the gold face, so to speak. That's all I can say .

Goodnight All.

Never felt more confident in GF and Alba than since yesterday and today, and I've been in a few years. Boy did that mine site look good today and the Welsh air smelt good. That's all from me tonight, oh and some wayward comments lately by some people who have no idea what they are talking about. Just have to laugh at them to be honest..

No concerns from what I know. GF doing a good job.

So while Alba are waiting on things that are now out of their controll they have been/are are busy finalising the development plans to bulk sample form below level 4 of Liechfraith Shaft, now it has been made safe and dewatered. Once permission is given, they should be ready to go.

The waiting list:

Waiting on the LPA to give the all clear to go ahead with bulk sampling below level 4. (21 days) working days would take this decision (22-25 March)

Waiting on Airbourn survey results/ report, consultans are working on this now. How long the wait? Anytime soon.

Waiting on LPA to give permission to start the trenching programe in the waste tip. How long the wait? Anytime soon we hope.

Waiting on lab results of concentrates for gold content from Level four wall rock sampling. How long the wait? Anytime soon we hope.

Make of this what you will..Im not worried. DYOR

No point saying things when nothing to say, just waiting patiently for news. I will be visiting our mine in about 10 days time. Looking forward to it.

How long before Alba announce they will produce and auction off a number of Welsh solid gold commemorative 1oz coins using gold from the test sampling and drilling? Around ten coins will do nicely. Most importantly it is great for publicity and that should of course boost the share price. This is tried and tested method and can also show Welsh Gold can attract a premium price, and produces a little bit of bonus cash in the process,. With our very own (much maligned on here in the past) specialist ‘mine-to-market’ supply chain consultant Vivien Johnston Glass directing this little project ( shes done it all before) it seems like a sure thing Alba will be going down this path in the near future . I say its the way to go, looking forward to seeing the GOLD coins.

@ocelot Appreciate the update on gold prices.

Also the twitter updates from Alba from Robbie and other who post them.

Regarding publicity, George F knows well enough, time to play the big publicity/news card is when Alba have something concrete to show. Alba do not want to be an "all fur coat and no nickers" company. For a maximum sustained share price rise, Alba need substance behind the headlines. It will come. Real good evidence of the gold won't come until the sampling is done and grades are returned.

@golddigger

It is great news and you will be pleased to know, it is in fact a white flashlight..even better!!

Alba did not hang around getting to level four, great pics..

@GoldnOilDigger

No thoughts o the waste tip/timescales ect. Now that the water permits are sorted for now, I have taken a step back from hounding NRW for information, I am just going with the flow. I am now relieved and excited that for the first time, we can on with exploring the mine with no permitting headaches, its been along time coming.

@Robbie

My simple take on things, for what its worth is: we have some very frustrated long term holders and some shorter term hopefuls, people who have stock here that are just so fed up now that they are selling because after recent news, the share price is not reflecting what has been achieved and the potential going forward. What has been achieved has been nullified by the permits get delayed, its understandable. Maybe they were expecting an upturn on share price after the recent news. It did not happen because although the news has been good, its news we expected so other news will be needed to lift the price. This other news will come, it is a waiting game, I topped up again today. Everything is now good, except the share price. With Alba its all about patience, if you believe in the company.

@NoOneknows..Here Here!! certainly has been along time coming. They say Gold things come to those who wait. No doubts for me that good gold is to be found, just got to get it now.
