INVESTORS CONVERT 100% OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES
AS MT CARBINE MINE RAMP-UP CONTINUES
EQ Resources Limited is the 100% owner of the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine near Cairns,
Australia’s leading primary tungsten producer.
EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that investors holding the convertible
notes issued in September 2021 (see ASX announcement “Early Works Funding Secured For Mt Carbine
Expansion, Well Ahead of BFS Release” dated 13 September 2021) have fully converted their notes into EQR
ordinary shares. The 2-year interest-bearing convertible notes were partially converted in September 2021, for
an amount of $2 million (equal to 2 million notes), with the balance $4 million (equal to 4 million notes)
converted just before its due date.
“The issue of $6 million face value of notes in September 2021 was a vital part of the funding strategy for
EQR’s Mt Carbine Tungsten rebuild.” commented EQR’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kevin MacNeill. “The
company was extremely grateful for the provision of this funding package and we are pleased to see our
investors joining the share register as part of the notes conversion. Mt Carbine Operations today directly
provide jobs for more than 90 people and more than 30 contractors in mining and services,” Mr MacNeill said.
EQR is building a modern circular mining operation at its Mt Carbine flagship tungsten project, to responsibly
supply tungsten concentrate to the world.
The notes conversion comes as the Company continues the mine operation ramp-up in partnership with mining
contractor Golding. The Company will report its full month September production numbers in early October,
based on the daily production record exceeding 11 tonnes of 50% WO3 tungsten concentrate as reported on
14 September (see ASX announcement “EQR Achieves Daily Concentrate Production Record In Line With
Ramp-Up Schedule”).
