FURTHER POSITIVE TRENCHING RESULTS FROMITOGON GOLD PROJECT, PHILIPPINES
LONDON: 21 JULY 2015 - The directors of ECR Minerals plc (the "Directors") are pleased to announce further positive results from trenching and test pitting at the Itogon epithermal gold project, northern Philippines. Mineralised intervals from the trenching and test pitting are presented in tables 1 and 2 below, which comprise the complete results of the trenching and test pitting programme. The results from trenches TR01, TR03, TR03A, TR04, TR06, TR12, TR13 and all test pits have not previously been reported. Additional results have also been reported in respect of TR05.
Stephen Clayson, Chief Executive Officer of ECR, commented:
"We are pleased to report more strong results from trenching at Itogon, and to present the complete assay results of the programme in the tables below. As previously announced, the results reflect the presence of a widespread supergene enriched oxide gold blanket occurring from surface in the main prospect area at Itogon. It is also apparent from the previously announced results of drilling by ECR that deeper level exploration targets exist below the supergene blanket.
Fieldwork in connection with the planned NI43-101 technical report is expected to commence this week, and will focus on integrating all available data into a geological model which will underpin the planned initial NI43-101 compliant resource and determine the direction of future exploration."

NB:
Mineralised intervals from trenches presented in Table 2 were calculated as weighted averages using a lower cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold and a maximum of 1m internal dilution. The grade of each single sample which exceeded 1.00 g/t gold has been reported separately. Test pits were sampled by two separate 1m channel samples with a minimum 1m difference in elevation. No top cut has been applied in calculating the mineralised intervals in tables 1 and 2, and all widths given are apparent width.
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 independent analytical laboratory in Metro Manila. Sampling was carried out under geological supervision. Upon arrival at Intertek samples were sorted, dried (if necessary), crushed, split and pulverised. The method of analysis for gold was fire assay (50g charge) with AAS finish.
QA/QC measures including the use of certified 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. Assay values have been expressed in this news release as g/t gold but are received from Intertek expressed as ppm gold. For the purposes hereof ppm gold and g/t can be considered equivalent.
The contents of this announcement have been reviewed by Dr Chris Wilson PhD, FAusIMM (CP), FSEG, a geologist with the consultancy Exploration Alliance, which has been engaged by ECR in connection with the Itogon project.
ABOUT ECR
ECR is a mineral exploration and development company with the right to earn a 50% interest in the Itogon epithermal gold project in the Philippines. Itogon is an advanced exploration project located in a prolific 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. Exploration at SLM has focused on identifying small tonnage mesothermal gold deposits which may be suitable for relatively near term production.
