Result of General Meeting
Total Voting Rights
ECR Minerals plc (LON: ECR), the exploration and development company focused on gold in Australia, is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting ("GM") held earlier today, all resolutions put to shareholders were duly passed.
ECR Managing Director Nick Tulloch commented: "I am delighted to report the resolutions put to shareholders at the GM today were unanimously passed, including the motion to increase the Company share capital. As a result, subject to receiving the subscription monies, the funds from the £580,000 raised will be utilised to advance the Company's extensive existing assets, to progress new opportunities and for working capital purposes. I am also pleased to see the Director Share Agreement and Salary Sacrifice schemes implemented, which we expect to contribute significantly to a reduction in cash burn. We are grateful for the support and confidence shown by both our existing shareholders and new investors."
ECR Chairman David Tang added: "I am pleased that as a result of all resolutions put to the GM being passed, our restructured board are fully united and aligned with shareholders. I look forward to supporting Nick Tulloch, Mike Whitlow and the rest of the Board as we restructure and streamline ECR operations."
