Greenland Resources Inc. (Cboe CA: MOLY | FSE: M0LY) (“Greenland
Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that further to
its press release dated July 15, 2024, where the Company and its
financial advisors, Endeavour Financial, entered into a new phase
with numerous prospective financiers of the debt portion of the
capex, the Company has received two letters of intent (“LOIs”) from
the state-owned Finnish Export Credit Agency (ECA), Finnvera.

These LOIs provide an indication of interest to support the
Company for (i) a credit guarantee for the export of Finnish
equipment for the construction and operation of the Project, and
(ii) a raw material guarantee relating to offtake agreements, for
the import of molybdenum products into Finland.
Executive Chairman Dr. Ruben Shiffman noted, “since publishing
the NI 43-101 Feasibility Study in 2022 and working subsequently
over fifteen months to conclude the independent due diligence
reports for lenders, we have numerous financial institutions in our
data room with an offering memorandum to raise nearly US$700
million in debt and we have recently received various letters of
intent, most importantly from Finnvera, considering our extensive
Finnish content. The Malmbjerg project mineral reserves remain one
of the highest-grade reserves worldwide and molybdenum, one of the
best performing metals in the past three years, has been trading
significantly higher than the price used in the Company’s
Feasibility Study”.
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 primary
molybdenum deposit located in central east Greenland. The Project
has copper and also magnesium, a market dominated 98% by China. 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 an NI 43-101
Definitive Feasibility Study completed by Tetra Tech in 2022, with
an US$820 million capex and a levered after-tax IRR of 33.8% and
payback of 2.4 years, using US$18 per pound molybdenum price. The
Proven and Probable Reserves are 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. 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). ERMA is managed by EIT RawMaterials, an organization within
the 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. 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,

These forward-looking statements and information reflect the
Company’s current views with respect to future events and are

the Project; obtaining the permitting on the Project in a timely
manner; no adverse changes to the planned operations of the
Project; continued favourable relationships with local communities;
current EU and other initiatives remaining in place into the
future; expected demand for molybdenum in the EU and abroad,
