ECR Minerals #ECR – Asset Overview and Evaluation
ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the exploration and development company focused on gold in Australia, is pleased to announce that the new directors are already conducting a comprehensive review of all exploration activities currently being undertaken. In addition a detailed evaluation of the existing asset base is underway, including the Company’s property, plant and other readily realisable assets.
A summary of the Company’s exploration assets, royalty assets, property and plant follows:
North Queensland assets:
- Lolworth Project – An extensive fieldwork campaign of soil sampling and rock chips has already been successfully completed. However, ECR’s geological team continues to concentrate on areas of high potential to help delineate a series of future high-priority zones and drill targets.
- Hurricane Project – Following a campaign of fieldwork undertaken during August and early
September 2023, the Company is awaiting the highly anticipated sampling programme results to prove the near-term development potential of Hurricane. - Blue Mountain Project – Following the announcement of the conditional acquisition of the project in April 2023, initial studies have yet to commence. Based on reports from previous explorers, the Board believes that the project has potential for a gold discovery.
Victoria assets:
- Creswick Project – The new directors are reviewing all of the Company’s assets at Creswick where ECR plans to seek a secondary (technical) opinion of its opportunities in Victoria. This will run alongside plans to investigate the discovery of two potential 100m gold ‘shoots’ at the Quartz Hill prospect and potential for further shoots along the Dimocks Main Shale strike and south towards Ballarat, further exploration work at the Davey Road prospect, Bush Inn Road prospect and at the Kuboid Hill and Mills Reef prospects.
- Bailieston – The Company believes that the Bailieston licenses still hold considerable nascent value. Further work at the HR3 prospect at Bailieston tenement EL5433 is planned, including a soil geochemistry programme and follow-up drilling to the north of HR3.
- Tambo Project – Following an initial field visit to the Tambo project, the rock chip sample results from the Duke of Cornwall prospect will be assessed prior to taking any next steps.
Philippines asset
- Danglay gold project – ECR owns 90% of an advanced exploration project located in a prolific gold and copper mining district in the north of the Philippines, which has a 43-101 compliant resource. The Company is currently considering how best to extract value from this asset.
Royalty assets
- Fosterville South Exploration Ltd (TSX-V: FSX) (“Fosterville South”) – Following the sale of the Avoca, Moormbool and Timor gold projects in Victoria, Australia to Fosterville South Exploration Ltd (TSX-V: FSX) and the subsequent spin-out of the Avoca and Timor projects to Leviathan Gold Ltd (TSX-V: LVX), ECR has the right to receive up to A$2m in payments subject to future resource estimation or production from the projects sold to Fosterville South (see announcement dated 20 April 2020).
- SLM gold project, La Rioja Province, Argentina – ECR holds a royalty and can potentially receive up to US$2.7 million in aggregate across all licences.
Property
- ECR owns a property at 35 Brewing Lane, Springmount, Australia. The property consists of 16 acres and is located within the Company’s existing 100% owned Creswick license area. The Board are considering a sale of the property, which is currently being used as a base for Creswick operations.
Plant
- ECR owns several items of valuable mechanical equipment. All options including future deployment, plant rental or disposal are being considered by the Company.
ECR Managing Director Nick Tulloch commented: “It is very evident that ECR owns a valuable
and diverse portfolio of assets which we believe in time have the potential to offer considerable upside. This factor was certainly a catalyst in driving the recently announced board changes and the share subscription that is of course subject to approval at our forthcoming General Meeting. We hope to have a comprehensive technical view of both our historical projects as well as the conclusion of our latest work programme on Queensland in the coming weeks.”
ECR Chief Operations Officer Mike Whitlow added: “The Board are engaged in an intensive review of all of ECR’s assets and operations. Our primary objective is to ensure the Company is on a secure financial footing for all future activities, and we will be making a series of decisions that will be announced to our shareholders in the coming weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their patience and steadfastness in these matters, and I look forward to reporting back to you on these next steps as they occur.”

As announced on 18 September 2023, the Company has conditionally raised £580,000 by way of a direct subscription (“Subscription”) through the issue of 331,392,844 new ordinary shares in the Company (“New Ordinary Shares”), at a price of 0.175p per New Ordinary Share. The Subscription was conditional upon, amongst other things, the approval by shareholders of certain resolutions to be proposed at the upcoming general meeting of the Company. The Company confirms that it will today publish and dispatch a shareholder circular (“Circular”), together with a notice convening a general meeting (“GM”) of the Company (the “Notice”). The GM will be held at Office T3, Hurlingham Studios, Ranelagh Gardens, London, SW6 3PA on 6 October 2023 at 11.00 a.m.
The associated Circular and Notice of GM will be posted to shareholders today, and will be available on the Company’s website shortly at: https://www.ecrminerals.com/investors-media/circulars
Salary Sacrifice
Alongside the Subscription, four members of the board of directors, David Tang, Andrew Scott, Adam Jones and Trevor Davenport, have agreed, conditional on the passing of the resolutions at the upcoming general meeting, to subscribe for 22,857,142 New Ordinary Shares at the Subscription Price of 0.175p in lieu of an aggregate of £40,000 salary, thereby further preserving the Company’s cash resources.
The Ordinary Shares proposed to be issued to certain members of the Board are as follows:
| Director | Position | Salary Sacrificed in the period 1 August 2023 to 30 November 2023 | Number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued in lieu of salary (conditional) at 0.175p | Total Shares then held if Admission was to occur. |
| David Tang | Chairman | £10,000 | 5,714,285 | 5,714,285 |
| Andrew Scott | Director | £10,000 | 5,714,285 | 5,714,285 |
| Trevor Davenport | Director | £10,000
|
5,714,285 | 5,714,285 |
| Adam Jones | Technical Director | £10,000 | 5,714,285 | 5,714,285 |
(together the “Existing Directors Shares”)
If the resolutions are approved by Shareholders, it is intended that the Existing Directors Shares will be issued on or around 30 November 2023, with admission to trading commencing on or around 1 December 2023. A further announcement would be made at that time.
Issue of Shares to New Director and PDMR
As announced on 15 September 2023, the Company has appointed two new senior management team members. Nick Tulloch, has been appointed Executive Director and Managing Director of the Company and Mike Whitlow has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer (non board position). As part of joining the Company they have now agreed to a remuneration package that is (i) predominantly based on earning equity in the Company; (ii) is designed to incentivise and align their interests with Shareholders and (iii) preserves the Company’s cash resources. Accordingly it has been agreed that they will each receive a salary of £102,000 per annum of which £12,000 is to be paid in cash pro rata across the year, and the balance is to be satisfied by the issue of equity in four quarterly payments of £22,500 using the mechanism set out below:
- On 14 December 2023, the issue of 12,857,142 Ordinary Shares each (being £22,500 Ordinary Shares at a price of 0.175 pence each); and
- At the end of each subsequent quarter (14 March 2024, 14 June 2024 and 14 September 2024), the issue of ordinary shares valued in the Company at a value of £22,500, with such number of shares calculated by reference to: (i) the price at which an equity fundraising in the Company was carried out during that quarter or (ii) if there was no fundraising, the price equal to the volume weighted average price of ordinary shares in the Company calculated over the previous 14 days, provided always that the minimum ordinary share price that shall apply is 0.175 pence.
(together the “New Directors Shares”)
In each case the issue of these shares is conditional on the relevant person being a director of the Company. On the first anniversary of the date of the employment the Company and each of Nick Tulloch and Mike Whitlow will agree new remuneration terms.
If approved by Shareholders, it is intended that the first Tranche of the New Director Shares (being 25,714,284 Ordinary Shares, in total and in aggregate) will be issued on or around 14 December 2023, with admission to trading on AIM commencing on or around 15 December 2023. A further announcement would be made at that time.
New Advisor Shares
Certain key advisers of the Company have conditionally agreed to receive 6,857,142 Ordinary Shares (the “Adviser Shares”) in lieu of £12,000 of cash invoice entitlements, to assist the Company in conserving its cash resources. If approved by Shareholders, it is intended that the Adviser Shares will be issued on or around 9 October 2023, with admission to trading on AIM commencing on or around 9 October 2023.
Use of Proceeds and Requirement for Shareholders to Vote
The proceeds of £580,000 (gross) to be raised through the Subscription will provide the Company with the necessary funding it requires to advance the Company’s extensive existing assets, to progress new opportunities and for working capital purposes. In the event that the resolutions at the General Meeting are not approved and the proposed Subscription does not complete, the Directors would need to consider urgently alternative sources of funding to meet its immediate working capital needs. There is no assurance that any such alternative funding arrangements could be put in place in the timescale required, which would have a materially adverse effect on the Company, and accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the Resolutions required to be passed to implement the Subscription.
The total number of ordinary shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription, the Existing Directors Shares, the New Directors Shares and the Adviser Shares is 463,964,270 Ordinary Shares (“Total New Ordinary Shares”). Following the issue and Admission of the Total New Ordinary Shares (which is conditional on, among other items, the passing of the resolutions at the upcoming General Meeting and the Admission dates set out above) the total issued share capital in the Company would be 1,671,940,285 Ordinary Shares.
ECR Managing Director Nick Tulloch commented: “As we announced yesterday, the Subscription generated material interest from a number of prospective investors and I am pleased to report that it is being further supported by members of the board and certain of our advisers who are aligning themselves with our shareholders.”
“Mike and I are less than a week into our new roles but we are grateful for the response to the Subscription that leaves ECR very well placed to advance both our current portfolio of assets as well as develop new opportunities.”

Along with my Board colleagues, I look forward to reporting further progress very shortly.”

Having known and worked with Mike Whitlow for a number of years, I know he is equally excited at the scale of the opportunity, and at the same time, both he and I wish to be fully aligned with all shareholders as we embark on this journey. We look forward to working with the ECR board to help realise the potential of the Company asset portfolio and deliver shareholder value.”

Nick’s long-standing experience and knowledge of the City and capital markets will add an important dimension to our Company as we develop our assets in Australia. I am also delighted to welcome Mike Whitlow to ECR as our new Chief Operating Officer. Mike’s track record and ‘hands on’ experience in developing assets in the natural resources space, coupled with his profile among the investment community brings a unique and well-suited skillset to ECR at an important time.’
