And the appointments of proven mining development experts to the board, in Chris Gibbs, who lives in Queensland.
'Chris was the former CEO of ASX-listed American Rare Earths, when it advanced its 2.63 billion tonne Halleck Creek rare earth project and substantially grew its market capitalisation. At American Rare Earths, he was instrumental in its transformation into a development-ready US rare earths company, which substantially increased its market value. At Argonaut Gold, he oversaw the Magino Gold Project from feasibility through to construction and operations readiness. Earlier roles with Centerra Gold, Barrick Gold and Placer Dome involved large-scale mine development, operational turnarounds and cost transformation initiatives across multiple jurisdictions.
Chris currently serves as a Non-Executive Director of ASX-listed Godolphin Resources Limited and is a Director of the Critical Minerals Institute. He resides in Queensland, Australia, the state in which ECR's core Blue Mountain and Lolworth Projects are located.
And in Mike Parker last August....because they knew what was to come!!!
ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the exploration and development company focused on gold in Australia, is pleased to announce that Mike Parker has been appointed as a director to the board of ECR Minerals (the "Board") with immediate effect as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director. Mike has been a consultant geologist to ECR since 2024.
Mike has extensive experience in exploration and project development, overseeing projects from discovery through construction to production. He had a 22-year tenure at First Quantum Minerals (FQM) where he held progressively senior country manager positions, and was instrumental in two major copper discoveries: the Lonshi and Frontier mines. He was country manager in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for FQM, overseeing up to 3,000 staff with two operating copper mines and a mine construction project. Between 2011 to 2017, he was country manager for FQM in Peru, responsible for the design and implementation of FQM's corporate strategy in Latin America, including Argentina and Chile. He oversaw community relations programs and sustainability processes, ensuring that projects complemented community development in remote areas including preparations for resettlement programs. He was responsible for government relations and communications throughout Latin America.
Australia, on a Govt level, has very little objection to mining and mining licences, because they want the income.
ECR are going places...maybe big places. :-)
