ECR Minerals plc is pleased to announce its audited financial statements for the twelve months ended 30 September 2023 (“FY 2023”).
Copies of the Annual Report and Accounts for FY2023 with the notice of annual general meeting have been posted to shareholders and are available on the Company’s recently updated website at https://www.ecrminerals.com.
The Company intends to hold its annual general meeting at 11 am on Tuesday April 23rd 2024 at Hurlingham Studios, Ranelagh Gardens, London SW6 3PA.
Below is an extract from comments made by Chairman Nick Tulloch in the Annual Report for the year ending 30 September 2023:
“Despite the challenges thrown at ECR during 2023, we have significantly advanced the value of our assets across the group and, hopefully, as shareholders will observe, our pace of activity has accelerated into 2024. We have made a conscious effort to re-energise our investment case and activity levels are high – and reflected in increasing trading volumes on the stock exchange – so we believe that we have much to look forward to in the coming year.
It is important to me, and my fellow directors, that our Board is now fully aligned with shareholders through our salary sacrifice and I very much look forward to participating with you all as we aim to deliver transformative value to our shareholders in the coming year.
Finally, my thanks to our shareholders for supporting us. I hope we can offer you further cause for optimism as we seek to streamline operations and costs, while adding value to ECR’s key assets going forward. I look forward to reporting back to you with further progress.”
Nick Tulloch
Chairman
