GREENLAND-RESOURCES
Greenland Resources Inc. (Cboe CA: MOLY | FSE: M0LY) (Greenland Resources or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Company has been awarded the 2023 Prospector and Developer of the Year for the Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project in east Greenland (the Project). The award is given to companies that demonstrate initiative, innovation, and alignment with Greenland environmental and social responsibility practice.

The award was presented to the Company by Ms. Naaja H. Nathanielsen, Greenland Minister of Business, Trade, Mineral Resources, Justice and Gender Equality at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2024 Convention, the premier global mineral exploration and mining event held in Toronto, Canada.
Minister Nathanielsen said: “Last November, in Brussels the Government of Greenland signed an MOU with the European Union (EU). The MOU’s intention is to catalyze investment in Greenland and secure sustainable raw materials value chains. Molybdenum plays an important role in the EU green energy transition and the award-winning Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project is a good example of the secure value chain from Greenland to the EU and is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance.”
Chairman Dr. Ruben Shiffman said, “We are honoured to receive this prestigious award recognizing our years of hard work and commitment. The Project is ad hoc for the EU-Greenland strategic partnership on sustainable raw materials. Can supply a quarter of the EU consumption from a responsible source and received strong interest for long term offtakes from the EU metallurgical steel and chemical industries. The EU remains the second largest user of molybdenum worldwide and despite having a very large processing capacity and leading the world on the production of specialty products that require molybdenum, has no molybdenum extraction. The Project will respect the environment, benefit the local communities and has the potential to make a significant economic contribution to the Country and the EU Green Deal.”
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 global mining industry, capital markets, and environmental and social governance. For further details, please refer to our web site (www.greenlandresources.ca) and our Canadian regulatory filings on Greenland Resources’ profile at www.sedarplus.com.
The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) as stated in their press release September 23, 2023., a Knowledge and Innovation Community of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union.
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.
