George Frangeskides, Alba's Executive Chairman, commented:

"This is an exciting development for Alba as we reinforce our growing profile within the UK's critical minerals ecosystem and deepen our engagement with the organisations shaping policy, skills and investment priorities across the sector. The CMA provides a direct line of communication between industry and government and plays a leading role in supporting the delivery of the UK's critical minerals ambitions.

"As a member, we look forward to contributing to the CMA's working groups and initiatives, and to sharing our insights derived from our years of experience in operating and developing some of the most prominent critical mineral projects in Europe, including the Amitsoq Graphite Deposit and, most recently, the Motzfeldt Critical Metals Project in Greenland."

"We are delighted to welcome Alba Mineral Resources to the association. As the UK's leading trade body for the critical minerals sector, the CMA brings together industry and academia across the full value chain and works closely with government and international partners to support the development of resilient and responsible supply chains. Alba's focus on the responsible mining of strategically critical minerals aligns strongly with our mission, and we look forward to supporting the company as it advances projects of importance to the UK."
