ECR Minerals PLC (LSE:ECR) has completed a binding agreement to acquire the Raglan Project, a fully permitted alluvial gold operation located in Queensland, Australia. The transaction, valued at A$1.01 million, will be funded from the company’s existing cash resources.
The acquisition is expected to provide near-term production potential, with mining equipment and supporting infrastructure already in place. Management said Raglan will complement the group’s Blue Mountain operations and support its strategy of accelerating revenue generation while transitioning toward a more production-focused business model.
Beyond immediate operational benefits, the Raglan Project also offers exploration upside and potential tax efficiencies arising from unutilised losses associated with the asset. Together, these factors are expected to contribute to longer-term growth and enhance ECR’s operational footprint in Australia’s gold sector.
