How are energy investors positioned?
LONDON - Alba Mineral Resources (AIM:ALBA) has successfully completed its 2025 field programme at the Motzfeldt Critical Metals Project in south Greenland, the company announced Wednesday in an operational update.
The exploration company, which has agreed to acquire a 51% interest in the project, reported that all key exploration objectives were met during the programme. Activities included a ground radiometric survey at the Merino prospect, collection of approximately 100 samples for analysis, and a photogrammetric drone survey at both Merino and the central Aries deposit area.
Alba has selected engineering consultants to conduct mineralogical and metallurgical test work on a 2.5-tonne bulk sample previously collected from the Aries deposit. The study will use a 300kg sub-sample to determine optimal processing routes for the material, with the programme expected to take 3-4 months to complete.
The company also reported it has held initial discussions with governmental agencies regarding potential funding and support for the project’s development.
At its Clogau Gold Mine in Wales, Alba conducted a preparatory blast in late July at the Llechfraith Target (NYSE:TGT) on Level 5. However, following a recent visit by HM Inspectorate of Mines, certain remedial works must be completed before further blasting can resume, which is expected to take about one month.
"We have collected new data in relation to the exciting Merino prospect which should help us to assess and develop its potential as another key source of critical raw materials within the Motzfeldt Centre," said George Frangeskides, Alba’s Executive Chairman, in the press release statement.
The company also announced that a new corporate presentation is available on its website.
