EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or, “the Company”) today advises that, following a review of strategic priorities, it will not proceed with the proposed acquisition of 100% of Tungsten Metals Group Limited (a public unlisted company) and its subsidiaries (together, the “TMG Group”), a ferrotungsten producer. Commenting on the decision, EQR Managing Director Craig Bradshaw said: “Following thorough engagement with TMG Group throughout 2025 and a careful review of our strategic priorities during the second and third quarters of FY2026, the Board has determined that proceeding with the acquisition is not in the best interests of shareholders at this time. Our focus remains firmly on growing production from our Mt Carbine and Barruecopardo operations, expanding our resource base, and delivering long-term value from the high-quality assets we already own.” The Company will continue to advance the following key strategic priorities: • Increasing tungsten concentrate production from the Mt Carbine operation in North Queensland and the Barruecopardo mine in Spain; • Expanding the Company’s resource and reserve base through planned drilling programs at both Mt Carbine and Barruecopardo; • Drilling at the Wolfram Camp EPM during 2026; and • Progressing the planned expansion of the Mt Carbine crushing circuit. EQR has informed the TMG Group of its decision and thanks the TMG Group for its cooperation throughout the process. The Company wishes the TMG Group continued success in its future endeavours.
