B
----- End of picture text -----

Drilling confirmed previous targets with both Iron Duke & Western Extension showing significant high-grade extensions.

A. Iron Duke can now be linked to sections 150m to the east and surface outcrops.

  • B. Western extension shows repeat

of high-grade pit ore.

Mineralization at both locations remain wide open.

Iron Duke Extension

==> picture [494 x 384] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [106 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

Iron Duke intersection extends mineralization 120m to west

  • 8.65m @ 0.56% WO 3 incl.

2.25m @ 1.90% WO 3

Western Extension - High Grade zone joins EQ026

==> picture [106 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

Zone of High-grade from Hole EQ026 continues plunging west with Hole EQ031 intersecting

  • 18.24m @ 1.00% WO3 (include. 5.51m @ 3.20% WO3

  • Opens up potential for significant ore body.

  • Close proximity to existing decline makes deal UG ore.

Summary

==> picture [563 x 398] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [106 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

EQR is excited on these extensions as potential to add significant new MTU units. Confirms western stage III with optimization to confirm what goes to Open Cut and what to UG.

16

Pit Extension & Underground Potential

Pit Extension

==> picture [106 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

  • Last drilling phase brings pit extension into focus.

  • Upgraded Western Zone to Indicated Resources

  • Opened Potential of High-Grade Extensions
