PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:
-- The Windidda gold project consists of nine exploration licence
applications submitted by ECR's 100%-owned operating vehicle
Mercator
Gold Australia Pty Ltd and covering a large ground area of
approximately 1,600 square kilometres in the Yilgarn Craton,
Australia;
-- The area under application covers the southern margin of the Canning
Basin, which has been interpreted, based on available gravity
and
magnetic data, to overlie the northern margin of the Archean
Yilgarn
Craton;
-- The Yilgarn Craton is host to around 30% of the world's known gold
reserves and produces around two thirds of all gold mined
annually in
Australia;
-- The Windidda project is targeting regional gravity-magnetic anomalies
and potential under-cover Archaean greenstone hosted gold
mineralisation, an exploration model that has been successfully
tested
by Greatland Gold plc (LON:GGP) at its Ernest Giles project
located
approximately 125 kilometres east of ECR's Windidda project;
-- Further updates will be made in due course regarding the progress of
licence applications, continuing project review and
exploration
planning.
Craig Brown, Chief Executive Officer of ECR Minerals plc,
commented: "ECR Minerals is building its strategic gold exploration
portfolio at what the directors believe is a fascinating time in
the gold industry, underlined by the acquisition of Goldcorp Inc.
by Newmont Mining Corp. announced this week.
Larger companies within the sector are often in search of new
gold discoveries to replace reserves as they are mined, potentially
putting proactive junior gold explorers in a prime position should
they be able to identify highly prospective territory, achieve a
discovery and/or build strategic knowledge through exploration.
ECR has already identified a large, but early stage, gold system
at its Creswick project in Victoria, Australia and is working to
advance that project as rapidly as possible. The Windidda project
diversifies ECR's interests into Western Australia and the highly
prospective Yilgarn Craton, which the directors believe is amply
demonstrated by the presentation linked above. Following the
financings completed in 2018, ECR is able to move forward
confidently with new initiatives like the Windidda gold
project."
