Operational Update

Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA), the gold and critical raw materials
focused exploration and development company, provides this operational update
in respect of the Clogau St David's Gold Mine in Wales ("Clogau" or the
"Mine").

Following the completion of the recent phase of underground works at the Mine,
the Company is pleased to confirm the resumption of drilling and blasting
operations at the Llechfraith Target, Alba's priority gold target at Clogau.
An estimated 15 or so tonnes of blast material are in the process of being
removed from underground following the first successfully completed blast.

Drilling and blasting operations are scheduled to resume in the first full
week of January 2026.  In the interim, work will continue in the pilot
processing plant and on other ongoing mine maintenance.

Company Comment

George Frangeskides, Alba's Executive Chairman, commented:

"We are delighted to have recommenced the drilling and blasting programme at
Clogau. This has only been possible because of the dedication and expertise of
the Alba team and our contractors on site throughout the past months.

"With the first blast now successfully completed, the work on the Llechfraith
gold target has resumed in earnest and will kick on again from the beginning
of January."
