(firmenpresse) - ELCORA RESOURCES APPOINTS JACK LIFTON TO ADVISORY BOARD

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (October 30, 2014) - Troy Grant, President and CEO of ELCORA RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:ERA), (the "Company" or "Elcora"), is pleased to announce:

Creation of Advisory Board and Appointment of Jack Lifton

Elcora has established an advisory board to bring added technical and marketing depth to support our management team. Jack Lifton has accepted the first appointment to Elcoras advisory board and will assist in developing the Companys graphite and graphene end-users client base.

Jack Lifton is a physical chemist specializing in high-temperature metallurgy particularly the ultra-purification of metals and materials for electronics, and co-founder of the informational web site, Technology Metals Research, LLC, which was launched 2010.

Upon retiring as CEO of an OEM automotive production materials supplier in 1999 Jack founded Jack Lifton, LLC, a business operations consultancy. Jack is also an author and lecturer on the market fundamentals of technology metals and materials, a term that he coined in 2007 to describe those strategic rare metals and materials whose electronic properties make our technological society possible.

Technology metals and materials include the metals and materials that enable electronic communication, data processing, and alternate energy production. Jack Lifton originated the concept that there are two classes of technology metals and materials; a) the key technology metals and materials, principally copper but also including lead and graphite that are produced in the millions of tons per year, and b) the core technology metals and materials such as the rare earths, lithium, germanium, gallium, indium, zirconium, hafnium, selenium, tellurium, rhenium, platinum, palladium, rhodium, and silver that are produced in only the tens of thousands of tons per year and in some cases very much less than that.

Troy Grant, President and CEO of Elcora stated "We are extremely pleased to welcome Jack Lifton as the first member of our newly created advisory board which we will use to bring added technical and marketing depth to support our management team. Jack will advise and assist us as we develop Elcoras graphene division. Jack shares our vision and enthusiasm for the Regedara project and for our stated corporate goals, including the vertical integration of graphite exploration and extraction, and the future potential for high-end graphite products including graphene. His decades of experience will provide great stewardship, and his relationships with end-users and others in the graphite and graphene spaces provides invaluable contact as Elcora moves forward."

I am pleased to join the company as a technical advisor on business operations and marketing. comments Jack Lifton. I congratulate Elcora on its choice of business model. I look forward to working with Elcoras management team.
