Technologically Driven, Economically Proven
Overcoming Western World Difficulties Using Sensor Based Sorting
• TOMRA’s XRT sorter makes
mining in Australia economically
viable
• Significant OPEX cost saving
• 10x upgrade in material grade
• Technology & program optimised for
Mt Carbine
• Utilising technically upskilled
workforce.
• Environmentally friendly

Beneficial Reuse
Circular Economy Driven
12
Circular Economy : Mt Carbine Quarrying
• Continued development of ‘green / recycled aggregates’ business as an additional revenue stream.
• Turns clean waste rock into vital construction materials for Far North Queensland.
• Opening opportunities in the local and regional market as demand for recycled products increases.
• Beneficial Reuse of waste product promotes Circular Economy commitment in-line with QLD
Government initiatives.

Wolfram Camp – EQR Awarded Preferred Tenderer EPM
Tender Proposal Overview
• EQR is planning a similar approach as it did with Mt Carbine.
• Stage 1 – Mapping & Sample Collection
• EQR Snr Geologist with field team supported by learnings at Mt Carbine.
• Stage 2 - Drilling and geophysics work, (large scale) sample collection and sorting test work
• Wolfram Camp prior theory saw a greisen capping on altered granite, EQR to test theory of
veins extending at depth.
• Focus on drilling at depth and localised areas surrounding historic Wolfram Camp pit
• Likely to complete drilling around Bamford Hill (adit through mountain, a few historic drill holes
with good showings).
• Stage 3 – Drilling and scoping study
• Stage 4 – Drilling and Resource evaluation
• Stage 5 – Feasibility Study
