Brockham Update

Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: Alba), the diversified mineral exploration and development company, notes the announcement this morning by Angus Energy Plc, the operator of the Brockham Oil Field under Production Licence ("PL") 235 ("Angus" or the "Operator"), which states:

"Angus Energy is pleased to announce that the rig has now been demobilised. Additionally, having set the plug, and function tested the downhole pump we believe that we have, as planned, successfully isolated the water zone without bringing hydrocarbons to surface. This is in line with our timetable of works as published in RNS of 3 April 2019.

We will now analyse the results with our partners before proceeding to the next stage which would involve bringing on site full well testing equipment and commencing flow tests."

The Company awaits the Operator's advice as to the proposed next steps at Brockham.

Alba owns a direct 5 per cent interest in PL 235.
