Diversification: a diversified portfolio, giving investors exposure to a range of mining assets and oil & gas investments Production: targeting projects with a production profile: Expected short to medium-term oil production returns (Brockham, Horse Hill) Medium-term mining opportunities in high value commodities with: A proven production history (Amitsoq, Clogau) Significant upside potential (Inglefield Land, Thule, Limerick) Stability: Identifying and pursuing opportunities in low-risk, resources-friendly jurisdictions (UK, Ireland, Greenland)

Alba has built a portfolio of strategic assets and investments in stable, low-risk jurisdictions to create a compelling investment opportunity
4
In the mining sector, Alba has identified and secured: Majority stakes in high-grade projects:
Amitsoq – amongst the highest grades of any graphite project globally (+28% TGC) Clogau – historically produced from very high grade veins (10s-100s oz/t gold) Thule Black Sands – high-grade ilmenite at/near surface (up to 14.9%)
Brownfield sites with considerable exploration upside:
Amitsoq – previously producing mine – with a new graphite discovery made by Alba Clogau – largest gold producer in UK history – extensions to mineralisation recently identified by Alba
Strategic positions in highly prospective regions:
Limerick – strategic land-holding in major zinc province Inglefield – prime land-holding with identified copper porphyry potential Thule Black Sands – all remaining coastline secured in new emerging global ilmenite province, along strike from Dundas major ilmenite deposit Clogau – the majority of the highly prospective Dolgellau Gold Belt is under licence to Alba with ~300 known gold occurrences

In the oil & gas sector, Alba has built significant minority positions in key strategic UK oil assets
The second largest shareholder in the Operator of the Horse Hill Oil Discovery – targeting production in 2019 A direct licence holder in the Brockham Oil Field – awaiting start of long-term production testing
Alba’s investors thereby have exposure to:
High quality strategic mining assets with near-term production potential and serious exploration upside High quality strategic oil assets in the fast-developing UK onshore oil sector – with expected near- term production revenues
