("Alba" or the "Company")
Clogau Update
Advancing Commercial Strategy with
Appointment of Gold Supply Chain Expert
Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA) is pleased to announce
that it has engaged Vivien Johnston Glass FRSA as its specialist
"mine-to-market" supply chain consultant for refined gold products.
This appointment is in line with the Company's plans to advance its
commercialisation strategy in readiness for future gold processing
and production at its Clogau-St. David's Gold Mine ("Clogau" or the
"Mine") in Wales .
Vivien Johnston Glass has over 20 years' experience in the
jewellery industry. She gained an honours degree in Silversmithing
and Jewellery from the prestigious Glasgow School of Art and is
former Head of Design for a commercial jewellery design brand. With
an extensive and influential network, Vivien is an expert in the
responsible sourcing of precious metals, diamonds, and gems. She
has first-hand experience of the ethical luxury consumer market
having founded her own brand in 2006 to pilot a sustainable
business model promoting positive ethics in mining and jewellery
using materials exclusively from traceable and ethical sources.
Since then, she has consulted for a range of clients including
major luxury jewellery houses, independent brands, diamond
producers, junior mining companies, manufacturers, and
international brand agencies.
Vivien was the Chair of the Jewellery Ethics Committee UK and
Ireland between 2011-2015 and Ethics Manager for the Gemmological
Association of Great Britain (2013-16). She is a fellow of the
Royal Society of Arts and in 2021 launched her own boutique
consultancy, Johnston Resources. She gained substantial relevant
experience with Scotgold Resources (2011-2022) during which time
she supported the company through from a successful planning
application outcome all the way to its commercial production phase,
including the negotiation of premiums, placing 100% of its gravity
gold production, creating a chain of custody process, coordinating
the marketing and auction of investment gold, and building a
route-to-market for alloyed gravity gold for the fine jewellery
market.
Vivien's role with Alba will be wide-ranging, encompassing the
fostering of partnerships and offtake discussions with jewellery
brands, manufacturers, and designers; managing stakeholder
relationships, including harnessing the already considerable
support for the Mine within the local community; and supporting
Alba's planning process towards permission for full-scale
commercial production at Clogau. A key aspect of her role will be
to devise and pilot a provenance-proofed, traceable
"mine-to-market" supply chain for gold produced at Clogau, which
will underpin the Company's ability to command a premium price for
its products.
George Frangeskides, Alba's Executive Chairman, commented: " I
am delighted to welcome Vivien to the team; I cannot think of
anyone better to help us to maximise the commercial opportunities
presented by this unique project. In tandem with her strong
commitment to ethics and sustainability, Vivien's experience
supporting other similar businesses including Scottish commercial
gold producer Scotgold Resources makes her ideally placed to help
us to deliver an outstanding commercial strategy for Clogau."
Vivien Johnston Glass said: "I am thrilled to work with Alba.
Each mine is different and presents unique challenges and
opportunities in the creation of a verifiable route-to-market. The
history and heritage of the Clogau-St. David's Gold Mine, the
cachet and prestige surrounding Welsh and particularly Clogau gold,
and Alba's position as the only possible future producer of that
gold, all make for a very exciting proposition. I look forward to
supporting Alba as it advances its commercial strategy, leveraging
my experience in the industry to foster partnerships with luxury
brands and to implement a mine-to-market verification process for
Alba's gold production, which will be essential both to ensure an
ethical supply chain and to secure the best possible returns for
this unique product."
