The recent slide in the share price has not deterred the ECR Minerals board from increasing its exposure to the yellow metal.
The company has entered into an earn-in and joint venture with Canadian company Tiger International Resources on the Itogon asset, a gold-silver project in the Philippines.
The Itogon project is an advanced exploration project located in a gold and copper mining district on the island of Luzon in the north of the Philippines, and benefits from an extensive historical database of previous work, ECR Minerals said.
