We have sad news today from ECR Minerals (ECR), the sudden death at the weekend of its CEO Craig Brown. I have known Craig for almost two decades since his days floating what was Kryso Resources, now China NonFerrous Gold.  When I was at a low point Craig was not - like most folks - someone who joined in the kicking. That marked him as a decent guy in my book and I returned the favour when he fell out with China NonFerrous.  Naturally, my thoughts at a time like this are with his daughters and other family members especially as  Craig was only 51.

Hello, Share Travellers. Though the Footsie is moving up, there’s scant news to keep things bubbling along even faster. As usual, at this time of year, more traders are on hols with their kids and volumes go down. So by way of a change, may I bring to your attention a gold explorer in Australia. Sounds risky - and of course it jolly well is...

Hello, Share Turners. Say what you like about Fulham-headquartered ECR Minerals (ECR), it is a company which likes to keep its shareholders up to date for every step of the way. It seems to me hardly a week goes by without it posting some news or other. The danger is that we tire of reading everything and consequently miss something which is important...

Hello Share Treaders. Down under there is a precious metals company called ECR Minerals (ECR). With gold values possibly set to rise in a difficult environment for most other shares, it might pay to have a gander at this one. ECR’s wholly-owned Australian subsidiary Mercator Gold Australia has Avoca, Bailieston, Moormbool and Timor gold exploration licences in Central Victoria.
