The funding from EIT RawMaterials will be used to test, using innovative technologies, the extraction of magnesium from process saline water used at the Company’s Malmbjerg molybdenum project in Greenland. Magnesium is listed as a critical raw material under the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act. Most of the magnesium is produced from sea water and approximately 87% of global supply and 95% of European consumption is currently sourced from China. In June 2025, the Company received a 30-year exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium at Malmbjerg. The Company is in the process of selecting certain existing core which is stored in the Government of Greenland Kangerlussuaq core shed, shipping the core to Nuuk to be sampled before transporting the samples to Canada for metallurgical testing.

Bernd Schäfer, CEO, Managing Director, EIT RawMaterials, said: “Magnesium is mission-critical for Europe’s competitiveness — from lightweight mobility to defence — and yet the EU depends on China for nearly all its supply. This dependence threatens the stability of core industrial sectors such as aluminum, where magnesium is an essential alloying element that underpins our transport, energy and manufacturing value chains. As Europe’s flagship public–private partnership in the raw materials sector, we are backing practical innovations that add new European tonnage with a smaller carbon footprint. Our investment in Greenland Resources is a strategic response to the global race to secure critical raw materials, unlocking value from innovation and accelerating the CRMA goals to diversify supply and strengthen resilience for European industry.”
Article content
Ruben Shiffman, Executive Chairman of the Company stated: “The equity investment from EIT RawMaterials, funded by Horizon Europe, will not only allow us to continue our work on magnesium using innovative low carbon technologies but it also sets an important execution precedent for further EU strategic investments and proves that EU public funding can be invested in our Greenlandic subsidiary and swapped to our listed parent company. Our Company has applied for significantly larger amounts from EU programs also funded by Horizon Europe and other EU sovereign states aiming to finance the equity portion of the capex.”

Article content
The investment by EIT RawMaterials is being made as the acquisition of shares (the “Subsidiary Securities”) in Greenland Resources A/S (“GRAS”), a wholly owned Greenlandic subsidiary of the Company. The Subsidiary Securities are convertible into common shares of the Company (each, a “Company Share”) via put and call options exercisable by the Company or EIT RawMaterials at any time before six months after signing (the “Options”) pursuant to a put and call agreement (the “Put and Call Agreement”) which the Company and EIT RawMaterials have entered into in accordance with the Financial Sustainability Agreement.

Article content
Pursuant to the Financial Sustainability Agreement, GRAS will test the extraction of magnesium from process water at the Company’s Malmbjerg molybdenum project in Greenland, with eligible costs of up to €500,000 therefor to be funded by EIT RawMaterials. Of this amount, at least 75% (€375,000) (the “Initial Funds”) is to be advanced immediately and the remainder (the “Remaining Funds”), if any, shall be payable upon approval by EIT RawMaterials of a final project report and final financial report, which must be submitted by GRAS no later than one month after the end of the funded project.
Article content
The Subsidiary Securities, subject to Cboe approval, are convertible via the Options into Company Shares carrying an aggregate value of €500,000. The Option exercise with respect to the Initial Funds (the “Initial Conversion”) is intended to occur contemporaneously with the closing of the Offering, on or around November 20, 2025. Provided that the Initial Conversion occurs within 45 days of the date hereof, it will occur at an agreed deemed issue price of $1.65 per Company Share.

If the total funding of €500,000 is advanced as Initial Funds, such that there will be no Remaining Funds, the Company will issue pursuant to the Initial Conversion 493,939 Company Shares at a price of $1.65 per Company Share for gross proceeds to the Company of $814,999.35. If there are Remaining Funds to be advanced and the Options in respect of the same are exercised more than 45 days after date hereof, the number of Company Shares to be issued to EIT RawMaterials in respect of the Remaining Funds shall be determined by dividing the amount of Remaining Funds (converted to Canadian dollars at the then-current exchange rate) by the volume weighted average trading price of a Company Share on the Cboe during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the most recent trading day prior to the date of the notice of exercise of the Option, subject to a minimum deemed issue price of $1.65 per Company Share.

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 component. The Company is aiming to incorporate magnesium 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 at http://www.sedarplus.com/ 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.
