**Fox Marble Holdings plc** (LON: FOX) CEO Chris Gilbert caught up with DirectorsTalk
for a quick chat on the sale agreement of its sought after Alexandrian Blue. Chris
explains how this new material came about, why its sought after, the markets in 
Italy, India, China, Turkey and Dubai, how growth will be driven and the focus for
2019.

· Commercial extraction commenced of Alexandrian Blue marble from Prilep Quarry.

· 441 tonne order of Alexandrian Blue completed and paid in December 2018.

· Sales agreement entered into with an indicative value in excess of €1 million.

Fox Marble Holdings has announced the start of commercial extraction of Alexandrian
Blue from our Prilep quarry in Northern Macedonia. Alexandrian Blue has dense blue
grey banding with smaller bands of white which produce a marked blue tone and is
akin to the highly desirable Zebrino marble from Northern Italy. The quarry, which
is already producing the highly sought after 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 quarry.
