Latest Eq Resources (ASX:EQR) News

Small-cap resources stocks led the week, while takeover activity and strong company results added to the gains. Wellnex Life more than doubled, but sharp falls in Trek Metals and Ionic Rare Earths showed that positive news did not always bring buyers.

EQ Resources (ASX:EQR) posted a July 2026 production surge that lifted revenue to a new high of A$51 million, driven by strong output and prices at its Australian and Spanish mines.
