NOTICE TO WARRANT HOLDERS
LONDON: 6 SEPTEMBER 2013
ECR Minerals plc announces that further to its announcement of 5 August 2013, the Company has posted notification to the holders of share purchase warrants exercisable to acquire one ordinary share of ECR of 0.1p at a price of 0.2p (the “Warrants”) that the mid-market closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares has exceeded 0.25p for 10 consecutive trading days, and that accordingly the Warrants must be exercised within 7 business days of deemed receipt of such notification by Warrant holders, or else will expire.
The Warrants were granted by the Company in connection with the redemption of convertible loan notes, and 42,500,000 out of an original total of 392,500,000 Warrants have already been exercised. Accordingly, 350,000,000 Warrants remain outstanding, and exercise of these remaining Warrants would result in the issue of 350,000,000 new ordinary shares of ECR and an improvement in the Company’s cash position in the amount of £700,000.
