Tungsten - A Critical Metal

EQR Is Unhedged, Provides Spot Price Exposure To a Tight Market

One of the Most Important Critical Materials according to European Commission

  • Tungsten is declared by the European Commission to be a "critical raw material" as a result of high supply-riskand high economic importance
  • On March 7, 2018, U.S. Congress passed the "National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act" (H.R. 520) defining and including tungsten as a "critical mineral"
  • Western Governments world-wideare becoming increasingly focused upon the importance of critical raw materials (incl tungsten) supply
  • Down-streamTungsten end users are becoming increasingly worried about lack of visibility on future raw material supply

Tungsten Market dominated by non-OECD members

  • China accounts for over 83% of world Tungsten primary (mining) production
  • Unique properties make Tungsten an essential industrial metal
    • Highest melting point of all metals and highest tensile strength, high density, hardness close to diamond, thermally and chemically stable, excellent conductor, and environmentally benign
    • End-marketapplication for light and heavy industrial, energy and military uses include in heavy metal alloys such as high-speed steel, from which cutting and pressing tools are manufactured
  • Benchmark pricing continues upward trend considering tungsten's strategic relevance and precarious supply / demand situation
