EQR's Global Significance & Saloro Synergies

Tier 1 jurisdiction producing tungsten assets, with similar characteristics:

• Both in Tier 1 jurisdictions
• Similar mineralogy: Both are hosted in sheeted quartz
• Complementarygeology: Granite (Barruecopardo) and Metasediments (Mt Carbine)
• Identical mining method: Open pit blast plus truck and excavator - similar fleet
• Similar processing: Crush, screen, XRT-sorting, jigs and tables; Saloro incorporates flotation and mag.sep.cleanup, producing a higher-grade product
• Synergy inMarketing: Both supplying the same end customers
• Both operating adjacent to world renowned National Parks (strong ESG credential)
• Organisational and significant technical synergies (comparable operational output)

The combination of EQR's Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine and Saloro's Barruecopardo Tungsten Mine establishes the largest independent tungsten raw material producer outside of China.

Vertical Integration Opportunities

Tungsten Cluster - Australia

QUEENSLAND

Tungsten Cluster - Spain

• Current EQR management team specialises in development of mines and supply of concentrates.
• EQR has 2 producing mines, has rights to explore and develop Wolfram Camp with high potential assets nearby.
• Mineral process plants located in Tier 1 jurisdictions in strategic regions with a strong history of mining.
• Elaborating opportunities for downstream processing through acquisition or strategic partnerships.
• Value-addthrough refinery supply is logical next step as significant supplier of concentrates outside of China.
• Ability to become the largest (integrated) tungsten supplier to end users outside of China.

Vertical Integration Opportunities

EQR Group Concentrate Production

*

*Q3FY2024 consisting of: January (actual), February (actual), March (actual & forecast)

• As part of EQR's transformation to become the largest independent tungsten raw material supplier outside China, the company realizes a 6.5-fold increase of concentrate output comparing Q4FY2023 and Q3FY2024 (through organic growth at Mt Carbine and by acquiring Saloro).

Additional Asset?

Potential Partnerships, Structures & Options being explored:

• Strategic partnerships and other M&A options being explored.
• Toll treat EQR concentrate to APT - Global market has capacity to absorb (APT capacity utilisation currently at 50%) & demand growth is forecasted.
• EQR concentrate is being tested for ferro-tungsten production which would provide market optionality due to 25% of global concentrate being used in ferro-tungsten / steel making.
• Downstream players interested in securing guaranteed supply through partnership with Western sources, engagements ongoing.
