Collaborations

MASAN High- Tech Materials
EQ Resources Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with its existing joint venture partner, Cronimet Australia Pty Ltd , and Masan High-Tech Materials related to the Mt Carbine Tungsten Project.

The partnership will exchange knowledge on tungsten exploration, mining, and processing, as well as assess new project opportunities and product applications. This significant partnership emphasises the importance of sustainably produced tungsten and the potential of the project to meet the global demand for critical minerals.

University of Queensland
Cooperation with The University of Queensland and Sustainable Minerals Institute's WH Bryan Mining Geology Research Centre (BRC) for a full microXRF program on Mt Carbine core has given insight into the nature of the mineralisation and the understanding of the high-grade versus barren vein types.

MicroXRF scanning can quantify the mineral species (e.g. scheelite) and other alteration minerals that determine the sample’s position in a dynamic fluid system. Fluid modelling is being used in EQR’s exploration programs.

Plotlogic
The hyperspectral R&D project conducted at Mt Carbine using a multi sensor scanner. Currently 90% of EQR’s drill core has been scanned on a multispectral basis. The scanning recognises various minerals including wolframite and will be utilised on a larger basis in delineation of ore zones within the open cut during mining. Understanding the mineralogy of Mt Carbine assists in interpretation of the fluid flow and temperature models.

METS Program
In July 2020, the Mt Carbine mine waste transformation project received a $220,000 grant from METS Ignited Australia under the Queensland METS Collaborative Projects Fund. The consortium comprising the Company, CRONIMET, the University of Queensland (WH Bryan Mining and Geology Research Centre), TOMRA Sorting Pty Ltd and DAS Mining Solutions Pty Ltd, undertook a nine-month work program to optimise scale-up application of ore sorting technology (up to 1 million tonnes of waste per year). The project objectives included establishing the physical controls on separation efficiency of Low-Grade Stockpile materials at Mt Carbine and developing integrated mine planning and scheduling models.

European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA)
ERMA was set up in September 2020 by the European Commission to secure access to critical and strategic raw materials, advanced materials, and processing know-how for EU industrial ecosystems. EQ Resources is a member and part of the ERMA’s network of a growing number of organisations covering the entire raw materials value chain. This positions us well to leverage the workstreams being undertaken by ERMA to identify barriers, opportunities and investment cases to build capacity at all stages of the raw materials value chain, from mining to waste recovery.
