BLOCK LISTING APPLICATION

ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the gold exploration and development company focussed on Australia, announces that an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for a block listing of securities in respect of 117,000,119 ordinary shares of £0.00001 each (the 'New Ordinary Shares') to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued from time to time in order to satisfy certain warrants and options which may be exercised. It is expected that admission will become effective on 17 February 2021.

The block listings consist of:

1. 32,745,000 ordinary shares in respect of the 11 July 2018 warrants exercisable at 1.125 pence per share, the “30 July 2018 Subscription Warrants Scheme”;
2. 32,500,000 ordinary shares in respect of the 6 April 2020 warrants exercisable at 1 penny per share, the “20 April 2020 Subscription Warrants Scheme”.
3. 37,755,119 ordinary shares in respect of the 16 July 2020 warrants exercisable at 2.1 pence per share, the “30 July 2020 Subscription Warrants Scheme”.
4. 14,000,000 ordinary shares in respect of the 11 July 2018 options exercisable at 1.125 pence per share, the “11 July 2018 Options Scheme”.

For the avoidance of doubt these applications are not applications to list the warrants and options themselves on any regulated market but merely an administrative measure to ensure that the Company does not need to make multiple applications for admission of ordinary shares to trading on each separate occasion when the existing warrants and options are exercised by holders. The warrants and options remain in uncertificated form and there are no changes to the terms and conditions of the warrants and options.

Following the Block Admission, the Company's issued share capital will remain unchanged at 877,164,658 ordinary shares. The Company will make six-monthly announcements of the utilisation of the Block Admission, in line with its obligations under AIM Rule 29.

When issued, the New Ordinary Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of £0.00001 each in the capital of the Company ('Ordinary Shares').
