EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce a significant improvement for its quarterly (quarter ending September) tungsten concentrate (50% WO3 equivalent) production numbers from its flagship Mt Carbine Operation in Far North Queensland. In the first quarter of mining and production from the revitalised Andy White Open Pit, the Company produced 422 tonnes** of concentrate for export into the global market for this critical mineral. This represents an increase of 181% compared to the previous quarter where the Company solely processed feedstock from the LGS and historic tailings. First primary ore was processed through the rehabilitated and upgraded Gravity Plant in the quarter, whereas throughout September the Gravity Plant has still processed only approx. 70% of Open Pit ore and approx. 30% of LGS material. September production reached 202,8 tonnes of 50% WO3 concentrate, representing a 88% improvement over August production. The Open Pit operations are still ramping up, with additional capacity to be added to the Mt Carbine production profile moving into the December quarter. Extensive grade control drilling has further increased confidence in the Andy White Open Pit, with the focus on high-grade quartz veins that are the primary host of the tungsten mineralisation. Ramp-up in the Open Pit has been from 32,000 tonnes of ore in August to 45,000 tonnes of ore in September, expected to reach 83,000 tonnes per month by November with arrival of a large 192t excavator with a 22t bucket capacity. Currently mining has been undertaken with a 73t excavator with a 8t bucket.
