**Fox Marble Holdings** (LON:FOX) has today announced the resumption of production
after the usual winter shut down in our Prilep quarry in Northern Macedonia. The
quarry, which contains white marble marketed as Alexandrian White, is now also producing
substantial quantities of Alexandrian Blue from a newly developed section on the
east side of the site. The quarry is expected to benefit from the deployment of 
additional equipment to significantly increase production levels to satisfy growing
demand.

· Commercial extraction resumed of Alexandrian marble from Prilep Quarry.

· 400 tonne order of Alexandrian White completed and paid for in February 2019.

· New equipment deployed in quarry to increase production.

In February Fox Marble sold, and received payment for, 400 tonnes of Alexandrian
White blocks to a new customer. The customer is shipping these blocks to their facility
in Drama in Northern Greece for processing. This customer was responsible for supplying
similar material to the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi and has indicated 
their intention to purchase additional quantities of this marble on a regular basis
throughout the year.

> **Chris Gilbert, Fox Marble Holdings plc CEO, commented **
> “This large volume block order to a new customer so early in the year following
> the winter break is an encouraging sign for the upcoming year. The customer, who
> has a long history of selling material from the Prilep area throughout the world,
> has indicated an intent to buy further quantities of this material throughout 
> 2019. The increase in monthly production at this quarry, following the investment
> made in equipment and resourcing, gives us the ability to supply more significant
> orders having developed robust markets for our stone worldwide.”
