RESULT OF AGM AND STATEMENT
LONDON: 31 MARCH 2015 - The board of directors of ECR Minerals plc (the “Board”) announces that at the Company’s annual general meeting (AGM) held at 9.30am today all resolutions proposed were passed.
After the business of the meeting, the following statement was read by Paul Johnson, the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman:
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank shareholders for their support over the past year, which has been a testing time for the mineral sector. During the year, ECR has pressed ahead with operations at the Itogon gold project in the Philippines and the SLM gold project in Argentina, as well as carrying out detailed evaluations of a number of potential new investments.
Although mineral exploration and development is inherently a high risk activity, the Board believes the path to creating shareholder value in a business such as ECR lies in working to understand the economic potential of the Company’s projects as fully as reasonably possible, and working thereafter, assuming it is economically and technically feasible to do so, to move the projects forward into production or seek to realise their value by other means. The ECR team intend to continue striving to implement this strategy intelligently and cost effectively.”
ABOUT ECR
ECR is a mineral exploration and development company with, among other interests, the right to earn a 50% interest in the Itogon gold project in the Philippines. Itogon is an advanced exploration project located in a gold and copper mining district in the north of the Philippines.
ECR has a 100% interest in the SLM gold project in La Rioja Province, Argentina, the exploration strategy for which is to delineate multiple medium to high grade, low tonnage deposits suitable for advancement to production on a relatively low capital, near term basis.
ECR continues to review potential new investments on a highly selective basis, with a concentration on precious, base and strategic metals projects in Asia and South America.
