Announcement PDF resourcing the new economy for a better tomorrow 30th January 2024 MAJOR DRILLING CAMPAIGN AT MT CARBINE TO INFILL UNDERGROUND RESOURCES AND EXPLORE EXTENTS OF KNOWN HIGH-GRADE ZONES EQ Resources Ltd is a global tungsten producer with mining activities in Australia and Spain. Highlights: - Mt Carbine Phase 1 2024 diamond drilling campaign for 24,000m scheduled for infill drilling of underground targets* and extensions of known high-grade zones**: o Major drilling campaign, in comparison to total drilling to date of 22,545m o 75% of the drilling targets an upgrade of 2 million tonnes of Inferred Resources that is above 0.5% WO3 into Indicated category, to provide the basis for a Stage 1 underground mining feasibility study o 25% of the drilling targets extensions of known high-grade zones towards new areas in the east, west and north of the open pit (Iron Duke) o Several deeper holes are designed to understand the depth extents of the deposit o The campaign is budgeted with $2.88 million and will mostly be drilled from the existing pit * See ASX announcement ‘Underground Scoping Study Gives Confidence To Proceed With Pre-Feasibility Work’ dated 12 April 2022 ** See ASX announcements ‘Drilling Results Highlight Significant Iron Duke Discovery And Potential For Additional Pit Expansion’ dated 13 February 2023, and ‘Drilling Confirms High-Grade Mineralised System In Western Extension’ dated 27 February 2023 EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce its Mt Carbine Phase 1 2024 diamond drilling campaign, which represents a major campaign in comparison to total drilling to date of 22,545m. The current open pit mine plan at Mt Carbine will mine only 19.3% of the known mineral resource (see ASX Announcement ‘43% Increase In Mt Carbine Ore Reserves From Western Pit Extension’ dated 18 May 2023), while significant potential exists to better define the remaining 80.7% of the resources, as most of the untapped resource sits in the Inferred category. A total of 18,000m of the planned 24,000m are targeting the upgrade of 2 million tonnes of Inferred Resources that are above 0.5% WO3 into Indicated category, to provide the basis for a Stage 1 underground (“UG”) mining feasibility study. The Mt Carbine UG Scoping Study* indicated there were 4.2 million tonnes @ 0.52% WO3 available in the Inferred Resource. The Company plans to drill those resources which are located immediately north of the open pit. A further 6,000m are targeting East & West Extensions of the Iron Duke Vein Package and the Western Deep High-Grade System encountered in previous drilling campaigns**. Some of this drilling is planned from the existing 430m decline once refurbishment has occurred. This drilling has the potential to increase the strike extent of the mineralisation by a further 30%. The campaign is budgeted with $2.88 million.

The footwall off set of these veins are postulated to be dropped 250-300m along this structure.

With this major program we aim to understand the extent of these zones as well as fast track an underground development that will potentially enable additional high-grade mineralization into our processing plant.” Released on authority of the Board by: Further Enquiries: Kevin MacNeill Chief Executive Officer Peter Taylor Investor Relations 0412 036 231 peter@nwrcommunications.com.au About the Company EQ Resources Limited is a leading tungsten mining company dedicated to sustainable mining and processing practices.
