POSITIVE RESULTS FROM SURFACE & UNDERGROUND CHANNEL SAMPLING AT ITOGON GOLD PROJECT, PHILIPPINES

LONDON: 19 MAY 2014 - ECR Minerals plc is pleased to announce positive assay results from surface and underground channel sampling at the Itogon gold project in the Philippines.

HIGHLIGHTS

* Mineralised intercepts by surface channels include 18m at 8.006 ppm Au, 40m at 2.338 ppm Au and 22m at 1.883 ppm Au

* Sampling within underground workings has returned grades of up to 48.4 ppm Au

* Assay results from recently completed drilling at Itogon expected later this month

Stephen Clayson, Chief Executive Officer of ECR, commented:

“These channel sampling results support our view that the epithermal gold mineralisation at Itogon is likely to be of significant economic interest, subject to the results of further exploration.

The grades and extent of the outcropping mineralisation tested by our surface channels are encouraging, as are the grades returned by our sampling underground.

Assay results from the recently completed drilling at Itogon are expected later this month and will provide further insight into the potential of the project.”

Summary of Activity

Channel sampling was carried out after a GPS based, compass and tape complemented geological mapping exercise. The mapping highlighted altered, mineralised and/or intensely oxidised outcrops for sampling. Accessible underground mine workings were also mapped. A total of eighteen outcrops and four underground workings were mapped and subsequently channel sampled.

Table 1 shows the average Au grade for the entire length of each surface channel and significant intervals within the channels. Appendix A is a register of all samples (171 surface and 41 underground channel samples) with locations and Au assay results.

In addition to the samples comprising the channels identified in Table 1, a further five 2m long channel samples were collected. The five samples were separate from the channels identified in Table 1 and from each other. Assay results for the five samples are included in Appendix A and are denoted by the symbol “ss” in the column headed “Channel”.

The various outcrops can generally be described as intensely fractured and oxidised (FeOx-limonite-hematite) silicified zones with quartz veins, chalcedony and vein breccia. Specks, stringers and/or dark coloured hairline veinlets occur and contain base metal sulphides (galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite). Quartz is grey coloured and milky white containing specks of sulphides with suspected native gold dusts. Open-space, drussy, saccharoidal and massive textures are noted within quartz vein and/or vein breccia zones.

Discussion of Results

Glory Hole Outcrop

The outcrop is located 35m due north of ERC007 (ECR drill hole) and RC010 (historical drill hole). Glory Hole is an intensely oxidised and altered zone composed of silica-clay-FeOx cut in parts by narrow (<2cm) quartz-pyrite-galena-chalcopyrite veinlets and/or stringers.

A single channel cut generally trending NNE-SSW and cutting NNW trending structures was sampled and returned an average grade of 2.004 ppm Au over 20m including 6m at 2.273 ppm Au (from 0-6m) and 8m at 2.297 ppm Au (from 8 to 16m).

Outcrop MP-01

The outcrop starts 45m NNW of Glory Hole, trends SSW towards Glory Hole and is characterised by intensely oxidised and altered zones with sections of chlorite-epidote altered diorite. Narrow quartz-pyrite-galena veinlets and/or stringers were noted within the oxidised and altered zones. These structures generally trend NNW.

MP-01 was sampled by five separate channels totalling 45.5m and yielding an average grade of 1.443 ppm Au over the five channels combined. Significant intervals within the five channels are summarized in Table 1 and include 3.5m at 5.808 ppm Au (from 1.5 to 5m) within MP-01-B.

Outcrop MP-04

The outcrop is located 50m WSW of Glory Hole and is the western most outcrop within the northern section of the main prospect area at Itogon. It is a moderately to intensely oxidised and altered diorite outcrop with narrow (<2 cm) quartz-pyrite-galena veinlets and/or stringers trending NNW.

MP-04 was sampled by two channels, MP-04-A and MP-04-B. MP-04-A returned an average grade of 4.459 ppm Au over 4m including 6.579 ppm Au over 2m (from 2 to 4m). The section intersected N-S to NNW trending fractures with quartz-pyrite veinlets/stringers.

Outcrop MP-06

MP-06 forms the central altered and oxidised zone of the northern section of the main prospect area. It is located immediately west of Glory Hole and trends NE-SW. This zone is characterised by intense oxidation and alteration with NNW trending fractures, minor faults and quartz-pyrite-galena-chalcopyrite veinlets and stringers.

The outcrop was sampled by three channels as follows. MP-06-A returned an average grade of 2.338 ppm Au over 40m including 16m at 3.525 ppm Au (from 0 to 16m), 8m at 2.386 ppm Au (from 24 to 32m) and 6m at 1.399 ppm Au (from 34 to 40m). MP-06-B returned an average grade of 0.744ppm Au over 16m including 1.749 ppm Au over 2m (from 6 to 8m) and 1.470 ppm Au over 2m (from 12 to 14m). MP-06-C returned an average grade of 0.872 ppm Au over 42m including 4.910 ppm Au over 2m (from 16 to 18m).

Outcrop MP-07

The outcrop is immediately above collapsed small scale underground mine workings and is situated NNW of MP-01. MP-07 is trending NNE-SSW cutting WNW fractures and quartz-pyrite-base metal veinlets and stringers. A single channel cut returned an average grade of 8.006 ppm Au over 18m including 1m at 92.200 ppm Au (from 6 to 7m), 2m at 11.050 ppm Au (from 9 to 11m) and 2m at 4.755 ppm Au (from 12 to 14m). Other significant intervals include 7m at 14.859 ppm Au (from 0 to 7m) and 9m at 4.274 ppm Au (from 9 to 18m).

Outcrop MP-08

The outcrop lies within the central section of the main prospect area at Itogon. It is a NW-SE outcropping trend controlled by a collapsed small scale underground mine working and characterised by chlorite-epidote altered sections and moderate to intense silica-clay-FeOx mineral assemblage. Subtle N-S trending and flat lying quartz-carbonate stringers were noted.

Also included in MP-08-A is a low grade interval of 8m at 0.178 ppm Au (from 2 to 10m). MP-08-B returned an average grade of 0.689 ppm Au over 18m including 2.160 ppm Au over 2m (from 4 to 6m).

Outcrop MP-09

The outcrop is located 80m SE of MP-08 and is characterised by low angle sub-parallel quartz-carbonate stringers hosted in weakly silicified and moderately oxidised diorite. A single channel cut returned an average grade of 0.210 ppm Au over 20m including 2m at 0.554 ppm Au.

Outcrop MP-10

The outcrop lies between MP-08 and MP-09, and is initially E-W trending with a section extending NE. MP-10 is characterised by low angle quartz-carbonate stringers in moderately oxidised and weakly silicified diorite. A single channel cut returned an average grade of 0.878 ppm Au over 37m including 2m at 3.270 ppm Au (from 6 to 8m).

Adit 1

A WNW trending small scale working approximately 30m long located within the northern section of the main prospect area. The walls of the adit are characterised by moderate to intense silica-clay-FeOx alteration cutting N-S trending faulted or gouge zones and quartz-pyrite-galena-chalcopyrite veinlets and stringers. The most significant sample from the adit was a 1.5m channel sample from within a faulted zone that returned 1.129 ppm Au.

Adit 2

A WSW trending small scale working approximately 40m long located in the northern most zone of the northern section. The adit cuts through NW trending faulted zones and quartz-pyrite-galena-chalcopyrite veinlets and stringers.

Samples from the adit include: a 1m channel across a faulted quartz-pyrite vein trending NNE and approximately 1m wide, which returned 48.400 ppm Au; a 2m channel across a faulted quartz-pyrite vein trending WNW and approximately 2m wide, which returned 10.014 ppm Au; a 1m channel across a NNE trending quartz-pyrite vein approximately 1m wide, which returned 7.369 ppm Au; and an additional seven samples returning between 1.400 ppm Au and 3.000 ppm Au.

Adit 3

A NW trending small scale working approximately 30m long and following a faulted and gougy zone with crushed quartz-sulphide fragments. A total of seven 1m channel samples were collected and returned an average grade of 3.490 ppm Au including one sample grading 14.594 ppm Au.

Portal 1

An exploration tunnel developed and abandoned by a previous holder of exploration rights to the area, and now maintained by small scale miners.

The tunnel is WSW trending and approximately 120m in length, and has accessed a very strong NW (320°) trending and 50°-60° SW dipping faulted zone of around 2m in width. An initial four samples within the fault zone returned an average grade of 1.025 ppm Au over an average sampling width of 1.2m. The footwall structures were observed to be generally sub-horizontal quartz-pyrite stringers.

QA/QC

A secure chain of custody was maintained in the transport and storage of all samples, which were shipped to and analysed by Intertek Testing Services Philippines, Inc. (“Intertek”), an internationally accredited analytical laboratory in Metro Manila. The method of analysis for gold was fire assay.

QA/QC measures including the use of blanks and standards were implemented by ECR and separately by Intertek in relation to the analysis of the samples. The assay data reported is considered acceptable in the context of these measures. Due to the insertion of QA/QC samples, the sample numbers in Appendix A do not form a continuous series.

GLOSSARY

AAS:   atomic absorption spectroscopy
adit: an opening driven horizontally into the side of a mountain or hill for providing access to a mineral deposit
alteration: the chemical response of rocks to hydrothermal solutions whereby primary minerals turn into clay minerals depending on the temperature range
argillic alteration: clay rich assemblages dominated by low temperature clays such as kaolinite, smectite, and interlayered illite-smectite; these are formed by low temperature (<230°C), acid to neutral, low salinity hydrothermal fluids
assay: a test performed on a sample of ores or minerals to determine the amount of valuable metals contained
Au: gold
breccia:

coarse (usually >2 mm) fragmental rock, consisting of generally angular clasts of one or more lithologies; a complexly veined rock can have a brecciated appearance (if veins are multi-generational and/or branching), but it is important to differentiate between the two; veins are generally linear or sinuous, whereas a breccia matrix is highly irregular

channel sampling: a sample composed of pieces of vein or mineral deposit that have been cut out of a small trench or channel
drussy: pertaining to an insoluble residue or encrustation of quartz crystal
epithermal: mineralisation produced by near surface hydrothermal fluids related to igneous activity; originally defined as having formed in the range 50-200°C, though 150-300°C is perhaps more commonly accepted now
fault: a break in the Earth’s crust caused by tectonic forces which have moved the rock on one side with respect to the other
footwall: the rock on the underside of a vein or ore structure
g/t grams per tonne
hanging wall: the rock on the upper side of a vein or ore deposit
kg: kilogram
km: kilometre
m: metre
massive: said of rocks of any origin that are more or less homogenous in texture or fabric; also said of a mineral deposit especially of sulphides, characterized by great concentration of ore in one place as opposed to disseminated or vein type deposit
MDL: method detection limit
outcrop: an exposure of rock or mineral deposit that can be seen on surface, that is, not covered by soil or water
oxidation: a chemical reaction caused by exposure to oxygen that results in a change in the chemical composition of a mineral
portal: the entry to an underground or sub surface access such as an adit, decline or tunnel
ppm: parts per million
RL: reduced level; being calculated elevation in relation to a particular datum
t: tonne
saccharoidal: granular aggregates of equant crystals having the appearance of sugar in hand specimen
stringer: a narrow vein or irregular filament of a mineral or minerals traversing a rock mass usually of limited strike and dip compared to a vein
vein: material which was chemically deposited by fluids within a rock fracture; veins exhibit a range of textures and minerals, depending primarily on the temperature, depth, and composition of the fluid and host rock; may also contain a small amount (<10%) of entrained host rock and/or vein clasts
vein breccia: rock consisting predominantly of vein fragments (<10% host rock clasts) in a chemically deposited matrix; clasts are generally sub angular, and supported in a matrix of generally similar vein minerals (such as quartz, chalcedony), which may be banded and enclose open cavities
vug (open space): open cavity within a rock, usually in a vein or breccia cement, which is lined by euhedral prismatic crystals that project into the cavity
