ECR Minerals plc announces that David Tang has stepped down as Chairman of the company and Nick Tulloch has been appointed Chairman in his place, in addition to his role as Executive Director of the Company. David Tang will remain on the board as a non-executive director. The Directors recognise that Nick Tulloch's appointment as Chairman alongside his ongoing responsibilities as an executive director is not in line with the QCA Corporate Governance Code but consider that given the current size and stage of development of ECR, and Nick's experience, it is in the best interests of all stakeholders for him to take up this position.

The Directors further note that a considerable amount of the operational responsibilities of the Company are carried out by Mike Whitlow, COO. At the same time, Trevor Davenport has been appointed Senior Independent Director of the Company.
