BROWNFIELD DISCOVERY AT RUBY AND EASTERN EXTENSION WITH DRILL TARGETS DEFINED

EQ Resources Limited is the 100% owner of the Mt Carbine Tungsten Mine near Cairns, Australia’s leading primary tungsten producer.

Highlights:

  • Exploration work towards the Eastern Extension of the Andy White Open Pit has uncovered a 20.8m @ 0.63% WO3 zone in trench sampling (east of Iron Duke fault)

  • EQR postulates that Eastern Extension could be the eastern offset of the main ore zone

  • Sampling at the Ruby Vein indicates that vein package extends for over 350m to the north of the pit

  • EQR commences reverse circulation drilling at both targets, with currently 20 holes planned as part of work program

EQ Resources Limited (“EQR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce significant discoveries around the Eastern Extension zone which has been defined by soil anomalies and confirmed by trench work with corresponding assays. Additional work at the Ruby Vein package also defined attractive drill targets.

The Company plans to drill 6 shallow Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill holes at the Eastern Extension area to determine the orientation and potential of this new high-grade zone. A further 14 holes will be drilled to outline the surface exposure of the Ruby Veins.

Eastern Extension

The Eastern Extension of the main Mt Carbine deposit has been postulated since mid-2022 to be offset due to a large strike slip fault located on the eastern end of the deposit. Using the 250m offset observed in dyke offsets, the Company marked an area for testing this concept. Recent trenching of the area has shown subcrop of high-grade vein material and semi continuous chip samples produced the following results.

Ruby Vein

The Ruby Vein forms the southern part of the Talis Vein Package within the Iron Duke Formation. The vein was previously ‘worked’ in a shallow slot pit during the 1800’s. The vein is located at the top of the Mt Carbine hill close to the planned BFS pit extent. In recent clean up works using excavators, this vein can now be traced for over 350m and is represented by 3 high-grade veins (30-50cm each) over a 3m wide interval. Recent channel sampling over the veins showed very encouraging results.

This vein is part of the next vein package just outside the pit and EQR will be looking to establish whether it could be included in a further pit expansion to the north.

EQR’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kevin MacNeill, commented: “The Company is focused on looking for further mineralisation close to the pit. Both the Eastern Extension and the Ruby Veins are in close proximity to the pit and would have the most impact for future mining. The scale of these surface results would indicate major mineralisation potential and we look forward to drilling the zones in the coming weeks.”

JORC Table 1 – Exploration Results

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels,
random
chips,
or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning
of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate
calibration
of
any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In
cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used
to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases, more explanation
may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types
(e.g.
submarine
nodules)
may
warrant
disclosure
of
detailed information.
Sampling was taken in bulldozed trenches that
were cut down to bedrock.
The sample locations were marked out using
DGPS locator staff and sampling was taken as
channel continuous sample of outcrop.
The samples were logged for geology and
alteration and zones with mineralisation
marked out. The veins that host the
mineralisation
were
clearly
marked
on
mapping and interpreted to the nearest drill
holes.
The sample size of each channel sample was
around 5kg and taken in a calico sample bag.
The sample was weighed and dried before
being crushed and split down to 200gms of
fine powder (P80 – 200 mesh)
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method,etc.).
N/A
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and
chip
sample
recoveries
and
results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample
bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
The samples were recorded on the maps and
also on the digitial survey instrument (Texas
DGPS).
There does not appear to be any link between
sample recovery and grade.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral
Resource
estimation,
mining
studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Mapping occurred on outcrop within the trench
and was mapped for alteration, geology,
mineralisation and structure. The veins shown
were measured for strike and continuity.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet
or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity
of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material beingsampled.
The 5kg samples were crushed in Jaw initially
and split at <5mm to get down to 1kg. Finer
crushing then occurred until we could achieve
a representative 500gm sample. This was

200mesh powder of 200gm was split off.
Approximately 10grams of this fine powder

The sample assay was taken with 10% of the
samples in the batch were standards with
known tungsten / Arsenic values. A further
10% blanks was inserted to ensure there was
no carryover of sample nor any variance in the
drift curve for the Thermofisher XRF machine.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data
Sampling was undertaken by Joel Cullen who is
a 15 year experience field geologist. The
samples and methodology for these samples
was also supervised by Tony Bainbridge as
QP for the Mt Carbine Project. It can be
verified the custody of the sample and that all
QAQC was checked before these results have
been reported here.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The Deposit
The Mt Carbine tungsten deposit is a sheeted quartz
vein deposit. Many sub-parallel, sub-vertical quartz
veins have been deposited in fractures developed
in the host rocks metasediments in a zone that
drilling and mapping of historical surface workings
have shown to be approximately 300m wide and at
least 1.4km long, trending at about 315 degrees.
Grade Variation
Sampling, drill core logging, geostatistical analysis of
drill core assay data and mapping of the open pit
have determined that all the material mined during
the previous operation was mineralised to some
extent and that the mineralogy of the deposit was
uniform. There is little doubt that the mineralogyof

Criteria Explanation Commentary
the stockpile material is identical to that mined and
processed. The material in the stockpile comprises
a single formation, the result of the alteration of
Siluro-Devonian meta-sedimentary host rocks
(Forsythe and Higgins, 1990).
The amount of quartz veining varies within the
mineralised zone and previous mining and
exploration have been concentrated at the south-
eastern end of the mineralised zone. It is well
understood that there are high-grade zones within
the mineralisation in this part of the deposit and that
the higher-grade zones are surrounded by lower
grade mineralisation. Interpretation of recent drilling
suggests that the main high-grade zone may plunge
to the north of the present open pit. The previous
mine assumption that quartz vein abundance is
directly correlated with grade is not supported by an
independent review of quartz vein abundance and
grade.

As the trench was at right angles to the vein direction it
is likely these intervals reflect closely the true width

widths and
intercept length
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery
being
reported
These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.
Sample locations are shown in Figure 1.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
The trench is within the weathered surface layer of the
deposit. Although no supergene mineralisation has
been observed there could be differences between
surface exposures and at depth.
Although it would appear this is sub crop in the trench
there is no guarantee that these samples are all in
true bedrock. Some parts of the sample may be in
loose D horizon with potential of transportation.
All sample results collected have been reported
including high and low intervals.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including
(but
not
limited
to):
geological
observations;
geophysical
survey
results; geochemical survey results;
bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
