The results “significantly exceed” assay results of bulk sample concentrates announced previously, which had returned grades of 20.4 to 165.5 grams per tonne.
Alba is now planning for the identification of new unworked veins for bulk sampling later in 2021.
“These represent by far the best results obtained from the assaying of the preliminary bulk sample concentrates collected from the Clogau-St David’s Gold Mine. The pilot plant continues to operate very well, with negligible values returned from the tailings,” said Alba’s Executive Chairman, George Frangeskides.

“We plan to continue with the bulk sampling later this year once the current phase of drilling has been completed. An update on the progress of drilling and other work activities at the Mine will follow separately,” he added.
