(Alliance News) - ECR Minerals PLC said Wednesday it has started gold exploration at Henry's Hill within the Avoca gold project in Australia.
The precious metals explorer will start soil geochemistry and field mapping immediately, following the securing of land access permission from the landowner.
Soil geochemistry will look to locate the mineralised shoots within the location, as well as examine the potential for the mineralisation to extend under cover to the east, and continued mineralisation to the west.
Field mapping will look to better define the controls on the mineralised shoots.
"The ECR team are excited to feed Henry's Hill at the Avoca gold project into the pipeline of projects under exploration in Victoria," said Chief Executive Officer Craig Brown.
"We are delighted be highly active in the Victoria Goldfields region, at a time when the area is attracting considerable interest from larger companies and investors," Brown added.
Shares in ECR Minerals were up 2.7% at 0.92 pence on Wednesday.
