ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the gold exploration and development company focused on Australia, is pleased to announce that its 100% owned Australian subsidiary, Mercator Gold Holdings Pty Ltd (“MGA”), has purchased a property at 35 Brewing Lane, Springmount. The property is located within the Company’s existing 100% owned Creswick license area.

Highlights:

• The property consists of 16 acres, within the 45 square kilometre Creswick license area in Victoria, Australia
  • The property is held over three titles
• The property will provide a base for activities across the license area as ECR advances its drilling programmes and, when appropriate will be the site for development for the mine decline
• The purchase price of the property is US$500,000, which is settled in two tranches, consisting of a US$50,000 deposit which has already been paid, with the balance to be paid on 27 September. The purchase will be funded by the Company’s existing cash resources. Currently the Group has £4,222,940 in cash after paying the deposit.  This is the equivalent of USD 5,824,631.

Craig Brown, Chief Executive Officer commented: “Following the positive progress of the drilling programme at Creswick, we are pleased to announce the purchase of the Brewing Lane property which sits in our existing license area. The property will provide the Company with an operational base and, in future, can be developed as a site for the decline access to existing, and potential, vein mineralisation.

“Earlier this year, we reported strong results from the [ongoing/current] drilling programme at the Creswick license which has continued to delineate gold mineralisation along strike, with all assayed holes returning gold. Of particular significance are holes CSD003 and CSD004 which returned 9.93 g/t and 23.58 g/t gold, respectively.”

“I remain enthused by the pace of developments at Creswick, Bailieston and our other assets, and look forward to receiving the remaining assay results at Creswick and reporting on progress.”

The property was purchased from a private individual.
