FIRB APPROVAL RECEIVED FOR OAKTREE INVESTMENT IN EQR

EQ Resources Limited is the 100% owner of the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine near Cairns, Australia’s leading primary tungsten producer. It has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire 100% of the Barruecopardo Tungsten Mine in Spain[1] .

EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Australian Government Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) has issued a ‘no objection notification’ for the $25 million investment in EQR by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”). The FIRB approval represents a key condition precedent under the sale and purchase agreement entered into between EQR and Oaktree[1] .

FIRB’s ‘no objection notification’ and investment by Oaktree in EQR complements the approval by the Spanish Ministerial Council for EQR’s 100%-owned subsidiary, European Tungsten Pty Ltd, to acquire Saloro S.L.U., owner of the Barruecopardo tungsten mine, located in Castilla y León, Salamanca Province, in north-west Spain.

EQR and Oaktree are working through remaining formalities to close the transaction still ahead of year end.

EQ Resources Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kevin MacNeill commented: “We are pleased with the progress and having received positive feedback from FIRB. Oaktree becoming a key stakeholder of EQR, assisting us to fully materialise our strategy to become the leading tungsten concentrate producer outside of China. We are making good progress at the Barruecopardo operations as well, improvements in the processing technologies and production output are a result of the lessons learned we had at Mt Carbine.”
