EQR AGREES COLLABORATION WITH THE EUROPEAN
RAW MATERIALS ALLIANCE
EQ Resources Limited is the 100% owner of the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine near Cairns,
Australia’s only primary tungsten producer.
EQ Resources Limited ("EQR" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a
collaboration agreement with the European Raw Materials Alliance (“ERMA”) and that ERMA has referred to
the Company in the ‘European Call for Action’ report (“Report”) published on 16 May 2023 during the EU Raw
Materials Week held in Brussels, Belgium.
ERMA was launched on 29 September 2020 as part of an Action Plan on Critical Raw Materials by the
European Commission and is a body corporate supported by the European Institute of Innovation and
Technology (“EIT RawMaterials”). EIT RawMaterials and ERMA are co-funded by the European Commission,
comprising more than 350 partners from all areas of the knowledge triangle of industry, universities and
research and development in the raw materials sector.
The collaboration agreement has been signed after an initial assessment by ERMA of EQR’s capabilities and
recent successes with the development and reactivation of the Mt Carbine tungsten mine. The aim of the
agreement is to explore a potential participation by EQR in the European tungsten mining sector. ERMA
provides EQR access to its wide network of public and private institutions in the raw materials sector, including
financing structures to support any potential project investment in the future.
EQR’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kevin MacNeill, commented: "We have been in exchange with ERMA for
the last year and we consider them a good entry point to get in touch with European parties exploring tungsten
mining production. We gained significant experience from the recent development at Mt Carbine and believe
this could be good common ground to share with mine owners in Europe.”
EQR will keep the market informed of any further material developments relating to the discussion and work
performed under the ERMA agreement.
