TORONTO, ONTARIO — (February 1, 2023) – Greenland Resources Inc. (NEO:MOLY, FSE:M0LY) (“Greenland Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Endeavour Financial as its Financial Advisor to help raise capital expenditure funds for its Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project in east Greenland (the “Project”).

The advisory services will complement the current outstanding support from the European Raw Material Alliance (“ERMA”) as per their press release EIT/ERMA_June 13, 2022 Press Release. The Company has been working along with the ERMA Access to Finance group on discussions with potential investors comprised of European and North American supranational banks, crown corporations, funds and commercial banks.

George Pyper, Managing Director of Endeavour Financial, commented: “Endeavour Financial is delighted to be able to work with the Greenland Resources team to evaluate and execute financing for the development of this world class asset in Greenland.”

Dr. Ruben Shiffman, Chairman Greenland Resources, stated: “Endeavour Financial not only has an impressive track record and was recently winner of the Mines and Money 2022 “Deal of the Year” award in recognition of a US$633 million mining project finance package they arranged, but they have also experience in Greenland. We see very
positive European demand for our high quality molybdenum from Greenland, as this, combined with our high ESG standards, and today’s molybdenum price (US$36.50/lb Mo) which is more than twice the price used in our recent feasibility study, make our Project a compelling investment story.”

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 world-class 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. 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.sedar.com.

The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) as stated in their press release EIT/ERMA_June 13, 2022 Press Release, 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, ardenability, 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 25% 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 24 million pounds per year, of environmentally friendly 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.
