[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nFinal Niobium and Tantalum Stream Results Extend Anomalous Footprint at Lolworth Range Project, Queensland\n\n\nECR Minerals plc\n\n \n \n \n ECR MINERALS plc\n \n \n (“ECR Minerals”, “ECR” or the “Company”)\n \n \n Final Niobium and Tantalum Stream Results Extend Anomalous Footprint at Lolworth Range Project, Queensland\n \n \nECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the exploration and development company focused on gold in Australia, is pleased to announce the final Niobium and Tantalum results from the stream sampling campaign at the Lolworth Range project, North Queensland, Australia.\n\n\n \nECR, through its wholly owned subsidiary, has 100% ownership of three exploration tenements (EPM27901, EPM27902 and EPM27903), which covers the Lolworth Range, located 120km west of the famous gold district of Charters Towers. The project is being explored under ECR’s Australian wholly owned subsidiary Lux Exploration Pty Ltd (“LUX”).\n\n\n \n HIGHLIGHTS\n \n \n \n 76 Lithium, Niobium and Tantalum (Li-Nb-Ta) results from the final batch of pan concentrate stream sediment samples now received.\n \n \n Best results include Niobium up to 894 ppm and Tantalum up to 290 ppm.\n \n \n These new results extend the anomalous Nb-Ta drainages 10km further west of the previously announced high Nb-Ta results (see announcement from Feb 1 2023 here).\n \n \n Approximately 50 square kilometres of the Lolworth Project now showing signs of hosting a potential Li-Nb-Ta hardrock source.\n \n \n \n ECR CEO Andrew Haythorpe commented: \n “Although ECR Minerals is currently in an early exploration phase at Lolworth, it is nonetheless gratifying to see the project take a significant step forward on the back of an extension to the potential drainage sources for Niobium and Tantalum. To already have a 50 sq km area indicating a potential combined resource for Lithium, Niobium and Tantalum at this phase of exploration is an exciting development by any standard. Whilst still at an early stage, these results together with the gold anomalies reported last week (see announcement from Feb 23 2023 here), adds further credence to the Board’s view that the Lolworth Project has great potential to develop into a multi mineral flagship project for the Company.”\n \n \n “I look forward to reporting back on further developments.”\n \n \nSummary plan of all anomalous Niobium a...
