Greenland Resources Granted 1,147.76 KM2 Mineral License Surrounding Its Current Exploitation License
PRESS RELEASE 26-04
February 24, 2026
GREENLAND RESOURCES GRANTED 1,147.76 KM2 MINERAL LICENSE
SURROUNDING ITS CURRENT EXPLOITATION LICENSE
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (February 24, 2026) – Greenland Resources Inc. (TSX:MOLY | FSE: M0LY)
(“Greenland Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the government of Greenland has granted the
Company exclusive rights of special exploration license MEL-S 2026-07 consisting of 1,147.76 km2 in the Semersooq
region surrounding the Company’s existing exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium. The Company now
has a dominant mineral licence position in the east coast of Greenland.
The new special exploration licence entitles the Company to explore for all minerals except hydrocarbons and
radioactive elements and is subject to the Application Procedures and Standard Terms of the government of Greenland.
Based on previous reports published by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, the geochemistry data
from rock samples available in the new license area show multiple locations with highly anomalous molybdenum
values that could potentially add to our Malmbjerg project. An exploration program including hyperspectral surveys
for the new concession will be established.
Qualified Person Statement
The news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Jim Steel, P.Geo., M.B.A. a director of the Company and a
Qualified Person as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43 -101 “Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects”.
About 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 also magnesium as a byproduct, a market dominated 89% by China. The Malmbjerg
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 and 100% of EU defence needs. On byproduct magnesium, the project uses
approximately 35,000 m3 per day of saline water with around 900 ppm of magnesium and the Company is working
on extracting magnesium from the saline water using innovative technologies. In addition, the molybdenum
concentrate has a magnesium and rare earth elements component. The Company is aiming to incorporate magnesium
and rare earth elements in the economics of the feasibility study. On June 19, 2025, The Company was awarded an
exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium. 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

On December 3, 2025 the European Commission presented RESourceEU, and mentioned the Company’s Malmbjerg
project in Greenland as a priority EU project. The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance
(ERMA). ERMA is managed by EIT RawMaterials GmbH, an organization within the EIT, a body of the European
Union.
About Molybdenum and the EU
The EU is the second largest molybdenum user worldwide, (around 122 million pounds of molybdenum per year,
19% of the global demand according to IMOA), has large processing capacity, produces the best specialty steel
products worldwide but has no molybdenum extraction. Green energy technologies, steel and defence are the key
drivers for market growth. When molybdenum is added to steel and cast iron, it enhances strength, hardenability,
weldability, toughness, temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. To a greater degree, the EU steel dependent
industries like automotive, construction, and engineering, represent around 18% of EU GDP. Greenland Resources
strategically located Malmbjerg project has the potential to supply in and for the EU approximately 25% of the EU
demand of environmentally friendly high-quality primary molybdenum from a responsible EU Associate country for
decades to come, as well as 100% of EU defence molybdenum consumption. More than 80% of the metallic materials
(including carbon and stainless steels) to be used for defence applications require molybdenum alloying. The primary
molybdenum in the Malmbjerg project is ideal for EU defence and high-performance steel applications because of
low deleterious elements and long-term security supply. The EU expects to increase defense expenditures from current
1.5% to around 5% of GDP. Primary molybdenum is only produced in China (87%) and the USA (13%), China
imposed export controls on molybdenum and is now a net importer. Molybdenum is categorized as a critical and/or
strategic mineral across the top five defence nations in the world: U.S., China, Russia, India, and South Korea.
About Magnesium and the EU
The EU uses around 145,000 tonnes of magnesium per year (15% of the global demand) but has no treatment facilities
nor extraction. Electric vehicle production and sustainable manufacturing practices are key drivers for market growth.
Magnesium is a light metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio, primarily utilized in the form of magnesium metal or
magnesium compounds such as caustic-calcined magnesia, magnesium chloride, hydroxide and sulfates. Magnesium
metal is primarily used as casting alloy in automotive and aerospace industries (64%), aluminum-base alloys for
packaging and transportation (18%), and in the desulfurization of iron and steel (4%). Smelter production of
magnesium metal in 2024 was 1 million metric tonnes, 85% coming from seawater, while smelter capacity worldwide
is double. Also, approximately 75% of magnesium compounds serve industrial purposes including fertilizers, cattle
feed, Epsom salts, heat-resistant bricks, de-icing etc. (USGS 2024). China produces 89% of the world’s magnesium
and Europe sources 97% of its magnesium from China (EC, 2023).
