CHANGES IN LEADERSHIP TEAM IN LINE WITH GROWTH STRATEGY
EQ Resources Ltd is a global tungsten producer with mining activities in Australia and Spain.
EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) today announces upcoming changes in it’s leadership team,
to allow stronger focus on key operational improvement projects and in line with the Company’s growth
strategy. EQR’s Board of Directors see the Company in a state where a strong technical focus is required to
further advance the successful turnaround iniatives at the Company’s Saloro operations in Spain, while at the
same time completing the essential plant capacity expansion works at Mt Carbine in Australia, within 2025.
Potential M&A and other growth development projects (ie. Tungsten Metals Group acquisition and codevelopment of the Wolfram Camp Mine) require additional senior management capacity which the Company
is preparing for.
Therefore, the Board of Directors and Kevin MacNeill (CEO of the EQR Group) jointly decided a transitioning
of Kevin into a new role as Chief Technical Officer (“CTO”), effective from 01 April 2025. In his new role, due
to personal reasons, Kevin will work at reduced working hours as compared to his current contractual
arrangements with the Company.
The Board of Directors deeply appreciate Kevin’s dedication and contribution since joining EQR in 2019 and
leading the Company as its CEO. In his new role, Kevin is tasked to further leverage his significant technical
experience to ensure further improvements in production and recovery rates are realised at both the Mt
Carbine and Saloro operations.
EQ Resources’ Chair, Oliver Kleinhempel, said: “Kevin has been an instrumental part of the Company’s growth
and success since joining in 2019. His dedication and hard work to deliver improved production and recovery
rates at our operations has played a significant part in why EQR is now the largest tungsten concentrate
producer in the Western world. During the transition from his role as CEO to CTO, Kevin will focus on and
continue to build on recent success and drive operational excellence at our tungsten assets in Australia and
Spain. The Board thanks Kevin for his leadership as CEO and looks forward to continuing to work with him in
his new capacity.”
The Board of Directors has commenced a process to build further leadership capacity within the management
team and Board, with the aim to add further industry competencies and to improve oversight of the Company’s
operational strategies and growth initiatives. The Company will keep its shareholders and the market informed
as it progresses with those initiatives.
