An announcement from ECR Minerals ( (GB:ECR) ) is now available.

ECR Minerals has reported a pivotal year of operational progress across its Queensland portfolio and set out a roadmap to move from pure explorer to near-term gold producer in 2026. Strong alluvial drilling and wash-plant results at Blue Mountain, confirmation of a shallow gold-silver system at Lolworth and the pending acquisition of the fully permitted Raglan alluvial gold project—complete with mining lease, wash plant, camp and fleet—are expected to underpin first alluvial gold production from Raglan ahead of Blue Mountain. The company plans to integrate Raglan and Blue Mountain into a scalable, repeatable alluvial production model, continue multi-metal exploration at Lolworth, advance a proposed joint venture at Creswick, and exploit a combined A$76m of tax losses to enhance early-stage profitability, positioning ECR in what its chairman describes as its strongest operational position in years as it targets a “step-change” year in 2026.
