EQR COMPLETES TRANSACTION INCREASING MT CARBINE EXPLORATION
TENURE BY 45% TO 1,136KM2
EQ Resources Ltd is a global tungsten producer with mining activities in Australia and Spain.
Highlights:
• EQR has completed the transaction to acquire 100% of Aus Critical Minerals Pty Ltd and TTTP1
Pty Ltd as announced on Tuesday 7 July 2026.
• This acquisition adds approximately 353 km² of tungsten-focused tenure and applications in the
Mareeba district of Far North Queensland.
• EQR's Mt Carbine district tenure position increases from approximately 783 km² to approximately
1,136 km² with a further 824km2 under application.
• The package includes granted mining lease ML 20728 (Mt White), located approximately 67 km
from the Mt Carbine processing facility, with surface tungsten stockpiles identified for further
assessment.
• Strengthens EQR’s regional exploration pipeline and hub-and-spoke strategy around Mt Carbine.
• Total consideration was A$900,000 cash and 30 million EQR ordinary shares.
EQ Resources Limited (“EQR”) is pleased to announce that it has now completed the transaction to acquire
100% of the issued shares in Aus Critical Minerals Pty Ltd (“ACM”) and TTTP1 Pty Ltd (“TTTP1”) (together,
the “Acquisition”) as announced on 7 July 2026.
EQR will now proceed to lodge the tenement transfers (which are subject to the ordinary course regulatory
approval requirements applicable to Queensland exploration and mining tenure) and assume the applicable
statutory exploration expenditure commitments attaching to granted tenements.
During FY 2027, EQR will commence exploration activities on these tenements, with initial focus on systematic
mapping, structural analysis, geochemical and geophysical follow-up, and staged scout drilling where
warranted.
EQR Managing Director, Craig Bradshaw, commented:
“The completion of the ACM and TTTP1 transaction enables EQR’s strategy to build a district-scale
tungsten position around Mt Carbine.
“This acquisition is highly complementary to our existing operating base. It adds prospective tungsten
ground, supports our hub-and-spoke strategy and gives us greater control of the regional pipeline
around our Mt Carbine processing infrastructure.
“Our immediate focus is to progress the tenure, mapping and assessment work required to prioritise
targets and unlock the value of this broader regional position.”
