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.
