News Explained

Amaroq’s Gardaq agreement commits cash and cost conversion while preserving its 51% joint-venture stake; completion remains outstanding.

On July 13, 2026, Amaroq disclosed that it and GCAM had entered a subscription agreement with Gardaq A/S; although the release calls the funding secured, it reports agreed subscriptions rather than completed subscriptions. GCAM is to subscribe for C$4.7 million in cash, while Amaroq is to subscribe for C$1.8 million in cash and undertake a further C$3.0 million subscription through conversion of accrued overhead and G&A costs.

Gardaq is a joint venture governed by the existing Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement, and this agreement implements its next funding stage. The disclosed contributions do not change the parties’ Gardaq ownership: Amaroq remains at 51% and GCAM at 49%. The further Amaroq subscription is therefore a cost conversion rather than an additional cash subscription, according to the release.

The Ilua project is already in drilling: the release says it is currently being drilled, and the platform’s June 29, 2026 record reports that drilling commenced.

GCAM is identified as a related party, making the agreement a related-party transaction under AIM Rule 13. The stated transaction milestones are completion of the agreement and Amaroq’s additional C$3.0 million conversion no later than the first anniversary of that completion.

Gardaq A/S exploration JV funding secured

13 July 2026 – Amaroq (AIM, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ, OTCQX: AMRQF), an independent mine development company focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, is pleased to announce that GCAM LP ("GCAM") and Amaroq have entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with Gardaq A/S to provide further funding to support its 2026/27 exploration programme and related activities; specifically the high impact Ilua rare earth project, which is currently being drilled, and the Minturn, potential large scale iron ore and IOCG, project in the north of Greenland.

Gardaq A/S is a joint venture established pursuant to the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement between Amaroq, GCAM and Nalunaq A/S, dated 13 April 2023 (the "SSHA"), which governs, amongst other matters, the ongoing funding arrangements between Amaroq and GCAM as shareholders of Gardaq A/S.

The Subscription Agreement, entered into on 22 June 2026, implements the next stage of the funding arrangements contemplated by the SSHA. Under the Subscription Agreement, GCAM has agreed to subscribe for additional shares in Gardaq A/S for an aggregate cash subscription price of C$4.7 million. Amaroq has agreed to subscribe for additional shares in Gardaq A/S for an aggregate cash subscription price of C$1.8 million and has further undertaken to subscribe for additional shares no later than the first anniversary of completion of the Subscription Agreement at an aggregate subscription price of C$3.0 million, to be satisfied through the conversion of accrued overhead and G&A costs in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement. As a result, the parties' respective shareholdings in Gardaq A/S remain unchanged and Amaroq and GCAM will continue to hold 51% and 49%, respectively, of the issued share capital of Gardaq A/S.

GCAM is a substantial shareholder in Gardaq A/S, a subsidiary of the Company, and is therefore a related party of the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules.   The Subscription Agreement constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13.

The directors of the Company, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider the terms of the Subscription Agreement to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
