EQR PROVIDES UPDATE TO FERROTUNGSTEN PRODUCER ACQUISITION
EQ Resources Ltd is a global tungsten producer with mining activities in Australia and Spain.
EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) provides an update to the status of the proposed
acquisition of the Ferrotungsten producer, Tungsten Metals Group Limited (a public unlisted company) and
its subsidiaries (together the ‘TMG Group’). EQR announced on 18 November 2024 that it had executed
a binding Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) with TMG and Mr. George Chen (“Chen”) under which, subject to
certain conditions, EQR agreed to acquire 100% of the shares in TMG, and separately Chen’s interest
(being all shares) in Asia Tungsten Products Co Ltd (“ATC”) (“Acquisition”). Through the transaction EQR
would acquire 100% ownership of the TMG Group.
The TMG Group currently owns and operates the largest ferrotungsten (FeW) plant outside of China. Due
to its scale and favourable cost structure, the facility is regarded as one of the most competitive in the
industry. The acquisition will allow for the diversification of product offerings for EQR and provide vertical
integration of EQR’s upstream operations, aligning with EQR’s strategic plans to leverage its existing
substantial resource base and production output.
Under the HoA, the parties agreed to an exclusivity period, ending 31 January 2025, for each party to
complete due diligence and enter into definitive agreements documenting the terms of the Acquisition
detailed in the HoA. Whilst the parties have undergone a detailed due diligence process, the definitive
agreements are yet to be executed. Accordingly, the exclusivity period has expired, but discussions are
continuing, EQR will keep shareholder investors updated on progress.
