Victoria, Australia to Fosterville South Exploration Ltd (TSX-V: FSX) and the
subsequent spin-out of the Avoca and Timor projects to Leviathan Gold Ltd

the north of the Philippines, which has a 43-101 compliant resource. ECR also
holds a royalty on the SLM gold project in La Rioja Province, Argentina and
can potentially receive up to US$2.7 million in aggregate across all licences.
