EQR ENTERS INTO BINDING TERM SHEET FOR A €15 MILLION
PREPAYMENT FACILITY
EQ Resources Limited is a global tungsten producer with mining activities in Australia and Spain.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- EQR has entered into a binding Term Sheet for a three-year €15 million prepayment
facility repayable via set-off against monthly concentrate deliveries of WO3.
- Under the Term Sheet, EQR and Traxys have agreed key commercial terms for a five-
year, index-priced offtake for 3,500 tonnes of WO3 contained in concentrate, with a
notional value of approximately A$400 million.1
- Proceeds will be used to repay €15 million of outstanding debt facilities due and
payable by wholly owned subsidiary, Saloro S.L.U.
EQ Resources Limited (EQR or the Company) is pleased to announce it has executed a binding
Term Sheet (Term Sheet) with Traxys Europe S.A. (Traxys)for a three-year €15 million prepayment
facility (the Financing Facility).
In conjunction with the Financing Facility, the Term Sheet sets out the key commercial terms for an
offtake and sales arrangement with Traxys as EQR’s sales and distribution agent for its
Barruecopardo Mine, comprising an initial five-year offtake for a minimum 7,000 tonnes of tungsten
concentrate containing at least 3,500 tonnes of WO₃ (the Commercial Offtake). With pricing
referenced to the prevailing index for APT, the value of this Commercial Offtake is estimated to be
approximately A$400 million.1
The parties have agreed to enter into definitive agreements to document the terms of the Financing
Facility and the Commercial Offtake (the Definitive Agreements), which will be consistent with the
binding provisions of the Term Sheet. Execution of the Definitive Agreements is targeted for Q1
2026. First drawdown of the Financing Facility and the Commercial Offtake becoming effective
remain subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent summarised in Annexure
A.
Proceeds from the Financing Facility will be used to refinance €15 million of the existing debt facilities
owed by EQR’s 100% owned subsidiary Saloro S.L.U. Cash generated from the Barruecopardo Mine

in Q4 2025 and proceeds from the recent EQR placement in December 2025 will be used to repay
the remaining €5 million of debt facilities owed by Saloro S.L.U.
Managing Director Craig Bradshaw said, “This is another significant step forward for the Company
as we close out calendar year 2025, reducing the overall Spanish debt package by €5m and
converting the balance into a three-year term debt facility with a strong business partner in Traxys.
We look forward to working with Traxys over the coming period as they market Saloro’s production
and, together, support supply certainty for our global customers.”
