Award of Tambo South tenement
ECR Minerals plc has been awarded the Tambo South Licence (EL007486), a 322 km² exploration tenement in Victoria, Australia, which extends its existing Tambo project to a contiguous strike of 47km and has historically reported gold, tungsten, and copper. The new licence area is believed to host a shear zone passing through the neighbouring Haunted Stream Goldfield, which has shown encouraging drilling results including 0.2m at 36.88 g/t Au and 10.7m at 3.05 g/t Au, and also presents under-explored alluvial prospects. The company plans initial exploration including stream and rock chip sampling, and LIDAR acquisition, focusing on projected shear zones. Disclaimer*

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n \n\n \n2 March 2026\n \nECR MINERALS PLC\n \n(\"ECR Minerals\", \"ECR\" or the \"Company\")\n \nAward of Tambo South tenement\n \nECR Minerals plc (AIM: ECR), the gold exploration and development company focused on Australia, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded Exploration Licence EL007486 (\"EL007486\" or the \"Tambo South Licence\") in Victoria, a tenement located directly to the South of its Tambo project.\n \nHighlights\n· New licence considerably extends the Tambo project area with the two tenements covering a contiguous strike of 47km\n· Gold, tungsten and copper have all been historically reported in the Tambo South Licence area\n· Neighbouring Haunted Stream Goldfield has recorded encouraging drilling results on a shear zone that is believed to pass into the Tambo South Licence area\n· Under explored alluvial prospects tie into ECR's growing expertise from its Queensland projects\n \nEL007486, which has been granted for an initial 5-year term, covers an area of 322 km2. The majority of the title encompasses Crown Land and ECR has also signed a standard Native Title Agreement with the Gunai-Kaurnai People.\n \nThe Tambo South Licence is situated approximately 35km NE of the township of Bairnsdale in the eastern part of Victoria, Australia, also known as 'Gippsland'. Minerals historically reported to be contained within EL007486 include gold, tungsten and copper. This new title abuts ECR's existing Tambo licence (EL007484) and importantly both tenements cover a contiguous strike of 47km.\n \nFigure 1 illustrates the regional shear zones which are thought to pass through both titles EL007484 and EL007486.\n \nInitial analysis by ECR has identified the following areas of interest:\n \n1. Haunted Stream Fault: Hosts the historic Haunted Stream Goldfield which lies outside the western boundary of the new title EL007486. Drilling at this Goldfield was undertaken by First Au Ltd (ASX: FAU) with intercepts including 0.2m @ 36.88 g/t Au and 10.7m @ 3.05 g/t Au. The ECR board believes that this same shear zone passes into EL007486.\n \n2. Tambo Crossing: Historical reporting of the mining of Wolframite (Fe-Mn Tungsten) in numerous shallow ...
