Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA), the diversified mineral exploration and development company, announces that Howard Baker has stepped down from his role as the Company's Technical Director (Mining) with effect from 28 April 2020 in order to devote more time to his mining consultancy practice.
