Based on reports from previous explorers, the directors believe that there is significant nascent potential at the project.
HIGHLIGHTS
Conditional agreement to acquire Blue Mountain project, Queensland, Australia, which includes the Denny Gully Gold project, for 31,913,196 Ordinary Shares in the Company. Ordinary Shares priced at the Issue Price, being an amount equivalent to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of trading in ECR’s shares on AIM over the 30 days prior to execution of the agreement.
ECR CEO Andrew Haythorpe commented: “In laying out our vision for ECR in the strategy presentations in 2022, the Board were clear that ECR would not only examine and consider potentially accretive acquisitions, but that we would also shortlist projects enabling us to maximise logistical efficiencies in regard to our areas of operation.”
“The Blue Mountain marks our third and most southerly project in Queensland. The Board is of the opinion that with our extensive Queensland knowledge and experience we believe the project can be explored for the primary (hard rock) source of the gold in the coming months. We look forward to getting on the ground at Blue Mountain and Denny Gully and reporting back as soon as possible.”
