FURTHER UPDATE INFORMATION - NEW GOLD TARGETS BLUE MOON AUSTRALIA

ECR Minerals plc (LON:ECR) the precious metals exploration and development company is pleased to provide a further update in respect of the Blue Moon gold project in Victoria Region, Australia.

On 3 September 2018 the Company announced the identification of a significant gold target at the Blue Moon prospect and the addition of two new gold targets in the same area as Blue Moon, now named Yellow Moon and Red Moon.

The Company’s technical advisory team have prepared a diagrammatic image of the three target areas and this is now available on the Company’s website through the following link:

The image demonstrates:

• that the area is principally flat and alluvial cover, demonstrated as blue in the image;
• anomalous arsenic results were returned from pXRF soil geochemistry conducted on the slopes and over small hills;
• the association of the anomalous arsenic at all three ‘Moon’ prospects with broad areas of quartz float;
• the location of the Bailieston Anticline to the east of Yellow Moon and as shown on government mapping plus a newly identified anticline, named the New Moon Anticline. The anticline is a double fold to the west of Red Moon.

Craig Brown, Chief Executive Officer of ECR Minerals plc, commented: “I am pleased at the level of interest demonstrated in the new targets outlined in our earlier announcement, particularly enquiries from a technical perspective.

The publication of this image provides further important technical information to the market about the project and its potential.

The team are working proactively to advance our entire Victoria region interests, with a particular interest at Blue Moon given the findings to date. Further information will be provided to the market in respect of Blue Moon and our work across the Company at the earliest opportunity.”
