Ann: Quarterly Activities/Appendix 5B Cash Flow Report, page-195

scottm - I couldnt agree with you more - there is a distinct message in this press release following the Washington visit

And the message is - the Qld Govt is a massive supporter of EQR, its ability to deliver into the global critical minerals supply chain and also its ability to expand and increase employment in the FNQ region. This will be a big lever to the profile of the Natural Resources Minister, Dale Last.

EQR's partnership accolades have grown significantly over the last 12 months or more - with the various agencies of the US Govt, Dept of Defense, Elmet, the DIBC, being recognised as a USA domestic source of supply - the list is increasing (and thats not to mention the recipients of the MC & Saloro concentrate)

But in my mind, the biggest differentiator by far for EQR is that we are a NOW producer - not a FUTURE producer as others who have nothing more than a few leases in their quiver, or a half built, half unfunded plant which is maybe 2 years from steady production.

The USA Govt, via these agencies, are preparing for TODAYS appetite, not tomorrows - and the commercial market, perhaps not fully aware of the big picture and how/when it will play out, will very soon have a big dose of FOMO and have no control over getting swept up in the maelstrom
