Appointment of Adam Jones as Technical Director, Exploration

ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the gold exploration and development company
focused on Australia, is pleased to announce that Non-Executive Director Adam
Jones will become an Executive Director with immediate effect. Adam’s new
role will be Technical Director of Exploration across ECR’s portfolio of
projects.

As previously announced on December 16(th) 2020, Adam Jones holds a Bachelor
of Science degree from Ballarat University and First Class Honours from
Adelaide University. Adam has over 12 years’ experience as a professional
geologist in Australia, including significant experience and knowledge of
regional gold exploration and production.

Adam is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and has
worked as an independent consulting geologist since 2015. His clients include
or have included the A1 gold mine, Dart Mining, Nagambie Resources in Victoria
and Vendetta Mining in Queensland.

Adam is a director of and has provided consultancy services to ECR’s
Australian subsidiary Mercator Gold Australia Pty Ltd (“MGA”) since April
2018 and has been involved in the supervision of drilling programmes and has
undertaken geochemical and rock chip sampling and geological mapping
campaigns.

He has considerable experience in geological interpretation, geotechnical and
fault modelling, geological mapping and sampling, turbidite
sequence-structural interpretations, wireframing and 3D modelling using Vulcan
Software.

Adam will assume technical responsibilities for all of ECR’s projects,
including the Lolworth Range project in North Queensland owned by ECR’s 100%
owned subsidiary LUX Exploration Limited (“LUX”). He lives in Victoria
close to ECR’s Bailieston and Creswick gold projects.

ECR Chairman David Tang commented: “Adam has been a key member of the ECR
team since the day he joined, and I am delighted that he is now assuming an
executive director role. I know he impressed our CEO on his recent trip to
Victoria, and, looking forward, the Company will now benefit from his guidance
and input on a higher strategic level.”

ECR CEO Andrew Haythorpe added: “My decision to join ECR was very much
influenced by the manner in which Adam has managed the Company’s ongoing
drilling campaigns in Victoria as well as the skillset and vision demonstrated
in his assessment and acquisition of the Lolworth Range project. My recent
trip served to confirm my early impressions, and I very much look forward to
working closely with him and benefitting from his expertise as we develop our
asset portfolio.”
