ECR soars on windfall hopes as Aussie subsidiary exits administration


Date:

(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors) ECR Minerals (LON:ECR) is looking forward to a sizeable windfall after 100% owned Australian subsidiary Mercator Gold Australia came out of administration.

MGA has tax losses estimated at approximately A$80mln (£42mln).

Stephen Clayson chief executive said the intention now is to realise value from ECR’s 100% shareholding by identifying a suitable purchaser and concluding a sale “at the earliest opportunity.”

Analysis to confirm MGA’s tax loss position as at 30 June 2014 is in progress and needs to pass a “continuity of ownership test” in Australia though ECR believes it is compliant.

ECR has an option over 50% of the Itogon gold project in the Philippines and 100% of the SLM gold project in La Rioja Province Argentina.

Shares jumped 53% to 0.243p.
