The enhancements at the mine are multi-faceted and stem from an improvement program related to existing equipment and modifications to the processing circuit with newly installed equipment. Since its acquisition by EQR in January 2024, the mine has realised a steady increase in production and recovery rates. Commenting on the signing of the definitive supply agreement with Elmet and the monthly production record at Barruecopardo, EQR’s Chief Executive Officer, Kevin MacNeill, said: “Formalising arrangements with USowned Elmet Technologies is a key strategic pillar in the path forward for EQR as we continue to build our reputation as a reliable western producer of tungsten concentrate to the world. Critical mineral security continues to be a top priority globally as the world navigates geopolitical events and a shortage of quality critical mineral deposits. This is why EQR is joined by its key strategic partners and continues to invest in its high-quality tungsten operations in Spain and Australia.” “It is extremely pleasing to see our operations in Spain continue to outperform and produce new production and recovery records in October on the back of significant improvement works in recent months. The outcomes of the improvement plans are testament to the dedication of the quality team and management we have in place at the operation.” Released on authority of the Board by: Further Enquiries: Kevin MacNeill Chief Executive Officer Peter Taylor Investor Relations 0412 036 231 peter@nwrcommunications.com.au About the Company EQ Resources Limited is a leading tungsten mining company dedicated to sustainable mining and processing practices.
