Announcement PDF resourcing the new economy for a better tomorrow 20 March 2024 MT CARBINE RECEIVES ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT FOR DOUBLING OF THROUGHPUT CAPACITY EQ Resources Ltd is a global tungsten producer with mining activities in Australia and Spain. EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of deliveries of all core equipment under the Sandvik Crushing & Screening Package ordered in July 2022 (and a supplement order placed in May 2023), with equipment having arrived to Mt Carbine last week. The new process circuit was planned to be commissioned as per the ‘Bankable Feasibility Study Update, May 2023' (“BFS”) schedule, where delays in manufacturing and shipping have caused the Company to come up with an intermediate plan and mobilize additional mobile crushing and screening equipment in Q3- and Q4CY2023, to cover the mine ramp-up volumes from the open pit. Current crushing capacity at the Mt Carbine site is 83,000t per month. The Leadership Team and the Company's engineering consultants performed a debottlenecking study with the aim to assess benefits of a doubling of the throughput related to the Sandvik Crushing & Screening Plant, compared to the BFS design considered for the initial installation of the new circuit. Based on the positive study results, the Company decided to order additional equipment from Sandvik which also arrived to site last week. The Mt Carbine project team in charge of the expansion is finalizing infrastructure engineering design within the coming weeks, allowing the new circuit to process an expanded throughput of 166,000t per month. This represents a 100% capacity increase compared to current production levels of the ore crushing circuit, to allow the Company a higher production profile moving forward and to compensate for grade variation as experienced throughout the first 6 months of open pit mining.

We commissioned a series of mobile equipment last year, which have worked well in the last quarter in terms of throughput, but certainly not being optimum and not fully reflecting our BFS design. Our engineering teams have worked hard to debottleneck the previous design and with the addition of a large screen into the Sandvik order, we can directly double the throughput compared to what was planned for the initial installation. We are currently finalizing the construction schedule and will inform the market in due course.” 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.
