"I am delighted to welcome Elizabeth Henson and Lars Brünner to the Alba Board as independent Non-Executive Directors."

"Liz has had a stellar career rising to a very senior position at one of the world's foremost global accountancy firms. She has a huge amount of professional experience across a wide range of sectors and countries. I am certain that her advice and input will be of huge benefit to the Alba Board as we look to grow the Company in the coming months and years."

"Lars comes from a senior position at another leading international consultancy firm. I got to know Lars well during our 2018 field programme at Thule Black Sands, in which he led the Golder environmental team. Lars has an unrivalled knowledge of environmental regulation and resource management, and an exceptional knowledge of Greenland having worked on around 30 projects there in the past decade alone. Environmental compliance plays an ever increasing role these days in the process of progressing mineral exploration and development projects through to commercial exploitation, and with Lars' expert guidance we know that we are now very well placed to advance our projects both in Greenland and elsewhere."

"These appointments are indicative of the Alba Board's determination to keep pushing Alba in the right direction and to strive for excellence on all levels, both in the quality of our projects, in our technical work and in the depth of our management team."
