ECR Minerals plc has bolstered its board with the appointment of Chris Gibbs as Independent Non-Executive Director, effective 26 November 2025, adding more than 25 years of international mining leadership experience to the company’s governance and strategic oversight.
Gibbs, who has advised ECR as a consultant since September 2025, brings a strong track record of advancing major mining projects and creating shareholder value. His career includes senior executive roles at established mining companies and key involvement in the development of high-profile assets, including the Halleck Creek rare earth project and the Magino Gold Project.
In a move designed to align his interests closely with shareholders, Gibbs will receive half of his remuneration in ECR ordinary shares. He currently owns 880,435 shares, representing 0.03% of the company’s voting rights.
Alongside his role at ECR, Gibbs also serves as a director of Godolphin Resources Limited and the Critical Minerals Institute, reinforcing his credentials in the critical and strategic minerals space.
ECR said the appointment strengthens its board as it advances its exploration strategy and positions the company for the next phase of development across its project portfolio.
ECR Chairman Nick Tulloch commented: “I am very pleased to welcome Chris Gibbs to our board of directors. As I said when Chris began working with us in September, his experience in developing multi-million-dollar mining projects is self-evident. ECR is changing. Through our proposed acquisition of the Raglan Project and our ongoing project at Blue Mountain, our strategy for the next stage in our development is gold production and we believe that Chris’ expertise will guide us in the execution of these opportunities.”
