Competent Person's Statement
• The information in this presentation relates to EQ Resources Ltd’s two principal operations — the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine in Queensland, Australia, and the Barruecopardo Tungsten
Mine in Salamanca, Spain — as well as to exploration and Mineral Resource work undertaken across the group.
• Mt Carbine Operations (Australia)
The information relating to the Mt Carbine Mine, including exploration results, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates, and supporting technical data, is based on the outcomes of
the Mt Carbine Bankable Feasibility Study Update (May 2023), prepared by Optimal Mining Solutions Pty Ltd.
• The information has since been materially updated in EQ Resources’ Annual Report 2025 to reflect new geological, metallurgical, and operational work undertaken by Mr Tony Bainbridge.
Mr Bainbridge, Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM No. 112770). Mr Bainbridge is engaged as a contractor to EQ Resources Ltd and is therefore not
independent within the meaning of the JORC Code (2012). He has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, type of deposit, and activities being undertaken to qualify as
a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code (2012). Mr Bainbridge has verified and approved the data disclosed, including sampling, analytical, and test results, and consents to the
inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the updated estimates, as presented in the
2025 Annual Report and subsequent market announcements, continue to apply and remain current.
• Barruecopardo Operations (Spain)
The information relating to the Barruecopardo Mine (Saloro S.L.U.) is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation compiled by independent consultant
Mining Sense Global S.L. under the guidance of Mr Hugh Thompson. Mr Thompson is a qualified Mining Engineer (B.Eng (Mining), Grad. Dip (Finance)) and a Fellow of the Australasian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (FAusIMM CP Mining) with over 40 years of experience in the feasibility, design, and operation of mining projects across Australia, Asia-Pacific, Africa,
and South America. He has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, deposit type, and activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person under the JORC
Code (2012). Mr Thompson consents to the inclusion in this document of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. Neither Mr Thompson nor
Mining Sense Global S.L. has any material interest, direct or indirect, in the securities of EQ Resources Ltd or its related entities. Fees for the preparation of this information were provided
on a time-and-materials basis only.
• EQ Resources Ltd confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcements, and that all material
assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the updated estimates continue to apply. The Company further confirms that the form and context in which each Competent
Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the information in which they were originally reported.

EQR is advancing a sustainable tungsten platform
delivering reliable, scalable supply for the world’s
industrial and clean-energy transition.
Backed by government partnerships and one of
the largest Western tungsten resource bases,
EQR operates the Mt Carbine (Australia) and
Barruecopardo (Spain) mines — and is targeting
a material increase in group production during
CY20261 next year as Barruecopardo performance
strengthens and Mt Carbine accesses the high-
grade Iolanthe vein.

Deepening Structural Deficit Tight Market, Strengthening Prices Increased production in near term
China controls 85%+ of global tungsten supply. APT pricing remains elevated as Chinese export
controls and limited Western output tighten supply.
EQR produced 1,678 tonnes of WO3 in FY2025.
Few new near-term Western projects are coming online
despite rising demand from defence, aerospace, and
clean-energy sectors
APT pricing is largely driven by the shortage of supply
in the western supply chain.
With recovery improvements at Barruecopardo and
development underway at Mt Carbine, EQR is well placed
to significantly increase production subject to execution
of planned activities.

Saloro 18-month quarterly WO3 mtu production*
• Saloro operations transitioned under EQR’s management in
mid-January 2024, followed by a detailed metallurgical
assessment throughout Q1 2024 to identify immediate
improvement opportunities.
• Quick wins were implemented, delivering first positive
impacts by February/March 2024, with a focus on recovery
enhancement and operational efficiencies.
• All planned changes were systematically implemented, with
both tungsten recovery and overall output showing
significant improvement in Q3 & Q4 2024.
• In Q3 2025, a third ore sorter was installed and is intended
to support recoveries in the ~70% range, subject to
ongoing optimisation and ore characteristics.
• Key production improvements stem from continuous
personnel training, application of XRT Ore Sorting, and the
addition of a fines recovery circuit, enhancing material
separation and minimising tailings losses.

Saloro Turnaround Success Story
Focus on XRT Ore Sorting & recovery enhancement / Long-term offtakes as funding opportunities
Updated design capacity will allow for >40,000 mtu per
quarter1
, once improvement projects are fully
commissioned as scheduled in Q4 2025.
*Distinct development stages since acquisition:
Phase 1 (Q1/24-Q4/24) - “Quick wins” through operator training, efficiency gains
and improvements based on detailed metallurgical test work.
Phase 2 (Q1/25-Q2/25) – Plant modifications with reduced overall run time, while
continued recovery improvements gained based on modifications.
Phase 3 (Q3/25+) – Recommissioning of XRT sorting operations with 3rd ore
sorter, Q4 with minor additional installations in gravity circuit and reset of higher-
grade ore deliveries into plant.
1. Remains subject to delivery, integration and operational performance.
Minimum 8-year mine life utilises just 23 % of known resource
— strong growth and underground upside.
• Tier-1 jurisdiction with 19-year permit and 8-year LOM on current reserves.
Reserves represent only 23% of the JORC Resource.
• $50m invested in development and processing upgrades.
• 2023 BFS underpins open pit; UG study advancing Iolanthe vein.
• Southern Wall pushback underway and expected to provide access to
higher-grade ore from 2026, subject to mining schedule.
• Wolfram Camp (EPM RA442) extends regional tungsten cluster.
• Target run-rate of ~1,750 t WO₃/yr, contingent on completion of plant
upgrades and efficiency gains. See assumptions in the 2025 Annual Report.
• 150 person team exporting concentrate to global consumers.
