PARTIAL CONVERSION OF LOAN

LONDON: 28 APRIL 2015 - ECR Minerals plc announces the issue and allotment of
60,962,963 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary
Shares") at a price of £0.001080 (0.1080 pence) per share pursuant to the
conversion of US$100,000 of outstanding principal amount under the Company`s
convertible loan facility (the "Facility") with YA Global Master SPV Ltd ("YA
Global"). Accordingly, the outstanding principal amount will be reduced by
US$100,000, leaving a total of US$1,385,712 in principal amount outstanding
under the Facility. 

A further 4,300,324 new Ordinary Shares are to be issued and allotted to YA
Global at a price of £0.001080 (0.1080 pence) per share in settlement of accrued
interest. 

Pursuant to this announcement, application has been made for 65,263,287 new
Ordinary Shares of the Company to be admitted to trading on AIM. This is
expected to occur on 1 May 2015 ("Admission"). Following Admission, ECR`s issued
ordinary share capital will consist of 3,653,324,804 Ordinary Shares. The new
Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares of
the Company currently traded on AIM. 

The total of 3,653,324,804 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used by shareholders
in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA`s Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
