CHANGE OF ADVISORS

LONDON: 13 JANUARY 2017 - The directors of ECR Minerals plc (the "Directors") announce that Optiva Securities Ltd will be retained as ECR's sole broker going forward with immediate effect.

The directors further advise that PKF Littlejohn LLC has been appointed as the Company's auditors. Nexia Smith & Williamson, the outgoing auditors, have confirmed that in accordance with Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006 there are no circumstances connected with their ceasing to hold office that they consider should be brought to the attention of the company's members or creditors.

These changes have been made to further reduce the Company's ongoing costs.

ABOUT ECR

ECR is a mineral exploration and development company. ECR's wholly owned Australian subsidiary Mercator Gold Australia has acquired 100% ownership of the Avoca and Bailieston gold projects in Victoria, Australia. ECR has earned a 25% interest in the Danglay epithermal gold project, an advanced exploration project located in a prolific gold and copper mining district in the north of the Philippines. An NI43-101 technical report was completed in respect of the Danglay project in December 2015, and is available for download from ECR's website.

ECR's wholly owned subsidiary Ochre Mining has a 100% interest in the SLM gold project in La Rioja, Argentina. Exploration at SLM has focused on identifying small tonnage mesothermal gold deposits which may be suitable for relatively near term production.
