EQR FARMS-OUT NSW PROJECTS TO FOCUS ON MT CARBINE TUNGSTEN MINE
EQ Resources Limited is the 100% owner of the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine near Cairns, Australia’s only primary tungsten producer.
EQ Resources Limited (ASX: EQR) (“EQR”) is pleased to advise that it has executed a binding Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sozo Resources Pty Ltd (“Sozo”) whereby Sozo can earn up to an 80% interest in EQR’s Panama Hat and Crow Mountain Projects (EL’s 6648 and 8024) by completing expenditure of A$1.6M over 4 years.
EQR is the 100% owner of the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine near Cairns, Australia’s only primary tungsten producer.
Sozo is a privately owned mineral exploration company focussed on the discovery of economic copper, gold, and nickel deposits within Eastern Australia.
Panama Hat is located approximately 25km southeast of Broken Hill in New South Wales and comprises the historical Huonville Gold Field which lies within the Proterozoic Broken Hill Block which is recognised as one of the richest metallogenic regions in the world.
Crow Mountain is located approximately 30km southeast of Barraba in northern New South Wales and covers a significant strike length of the crustal scale, gold - endowed Peel Fault, a potential analogue of the Mother Lode system in California, USA.
Commenting on the agreement, EQ Resources’ CEO Mr Kevin McNeill said: “I am delighted to have Sozo Resources partner with EQR to explore the NSW Projects. Introducing a farm-in partner allows us to solely focus on our 100%-owned Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine. As previously announced EQR is completing a BFS for a major expansion and rebirth of the mine”.
