Greenland Resources Inc. (Cboe CA: MOLY | FSE: M0LY) (“Greenland Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Company’s ongoing progress on its Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project (the “Project”).

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240501324662/en/

Highlights:

The permitting process announced on the April 2^nd press release is continuing its due course with positive feedback received. Further updates will be announced.

Over the past year, the Company has been making significant progress with its financial advisors and the mandated independent firms that work on behalf of the capex lenders. These independent firms are responsible to produce independent and free of conflict due diligence reports on engineering and environmental and social aspects that include Equator Principles and IFC Standards. Export Credit Agencies and Supranational banks, among others, rely on these reports for their capex lending approval processes. The initial reports are concluded, and the Company views them as positive.

The Company continues to discuss long term offtake agreements with numerous strategic European metallurgical steel and chemical companies that use molybdenum.

The Company will present the Project to investors and senior stakeholders at the EIT RawMaterials Summit, on 14-16 May in Brussels (see: https://eitrmsummit.com/europes-leading-raw-materials-event/greenland-molybdenum-mining-project-securing-high-quality-long). Major investors in the sector, including recently announced national government-backed raw materials funds from across Europe will participate in the summit. The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). ERMA is managed by EIT RawMaterials, an organization within the EIT, a body of the European Union.

The Company intends to publish a Sustainability Report in Q2 this year. Among the highlights, the Project boasts a significant low CO₂ intensity (pound of CO₂ emissions per pound of Mo produced) when benchmarked against other primary molybdenum mines.

Spot and futures prices for molybdenum continue to be higher than the US$18 per pound of molybdenum used in the Company’s NI 43-101 Feasibility Study. Also, in addition to the molybdenum demand caused by the EU Green Deal, a new important source of molybdenum demand due to military applications is emerging in Europe.

Greenland Resources Inc.

Greenland Resources is a Canadian public company with the Ontario Securities Commission as its principal regulator and is focused on the development of its 100% owned Climax type pure molybdenum deposit located in central east Greenland. The Malmbjerg molybdenum project is an open pit operation with an environmentally friendly mine design focused on reduced water usage, low aquatic disturbance and low footprint due to modularized infrastructure. The Malmbjerg project benefits from a NI 43-101 Definitive Feasibility Study completed by Tetra Tech in 2022, with Proven and Probable Reserves of 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS₂, for 571 million pounds of contained molybdenum metal. As the high-grade molybdenum is mined for the first half of the mine life, the average annual production for years one to ten is 32.8 million pounds per year of contained molybdenum metal at an average grade of 0.23% MoS₂, approximately 25% of EU total yearly consumption. The project had a previous exploitation license granted in 2009. With offices in Toronto, the Company is led by a management team with an extensive track record in the mining industry and capital markets.

About Molybdenum and the European Union

Molybdenum is a critical metal used mainly in steel and chemicals that is needed in all technologies in the upcoming green energy transition (World Bank, 2020; IEA, 2021). When added to steel and cast iron, it enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. Based on data from the International Molybdenum Association and the European Commission Steel Report, the world produced around 576 million pounds of molybdenum in 2021 where the European Union (“EU”) as the second largest steel producer in the world used approximately 24% of global molybdenum supply and has no domestic molybdenum production. To a greater degree, the EU steel dependent industries like the automotive, construction, and engineering, represent around 18% of the EU’s ≈ US$16 trillion GDP. Greenland Resources strategically located Malmbjerg molybdenum project has the potential to supply in and for the EU approximately 25% of the EU consumption, of environmentally friendly high quality molybdenum from a responsible EU Associate country, for decades to come. The high quality of the Malmbjerg ore, having low impurity content in phosphorus, tin, antimony, and arsenic, makes it an ideal source of molybdenum for the high-performance steel industry lead worldwide by Europe, specifically the Scandinavian countries and Germany.

Forward Looking Statements

This news release contains "forward-looking information" (also referred to as "forward looking statements"), which relate to future events or future performance and reflect management’s current expectations and assumptions. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "hopes", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
