Bo Møller Stensgaard, Greenland Mines President, commented, "The appointment of SLR Consulting as geological consultant and Qualified Person for the Skaergaard Project provides a major advantage for Greenland Mines in that SLR already knows Skaergaard well through its earlier work on the Project, including the latest NI 43-101 Technical Report and the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate.
"SLR is a highly respected international consultancy with deep technical capabilities and has assembled a strong team of specialists who can contribute across several important aspects of Skaergaard's continued advancement. They will serve both as geological consultant and Qualified Person and also are expected to play a broader technical role in shaping the next phase of Skaergaard's development. This includes support for mining operations definition, mining methods, mine planning, metallurgy, processing flowsheet development and mine engineering work, in coordination with GTK Mintec, WSP and the rest of the Greenland Mines technical team.
"We believe this gives Skaergaard a particularly strong and integrated technical foundation as we move into the 2026 field season and as we continue to systematically unlock the full potential of Skaergaard."
SLR is a well-established international consultancy with a strong reputation across mining advisory, technical reporting, engineering, and sustainability services. SLR has more than 5,000 employees across more than 140 offices worldwide, while its mining advisory practice spans exploration, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve work, mine engineering, metallurgy, due diligence and technical studies across the mining lifecycle.
For Greenland Mines, the appointment is especially valuable because SLR already has direct familiarity with the Skaergaard Project. SLR Consulting Canada Ltd. prepared the latest NI 43-101 Technical Report on Skaergaard, effective November 22, 2022, including reporting of the current Mineral Resource Estimate.
The Company believes that SLR's prior involvement, previous site visits and established understanding of geology and mineralization, as well as the recent and historical amount of data and project setting, will support efficient execution and strong technical continuity as work progresses.
Under the current framework, SLR will support Greenland Mines across a broad range of geological, technical and project-advancement activities, including resource definition-related work, drill and bulk-sample planning, project database development, mining and development roadmap work, and input into mining methods, mine planning, metallurgy, processing flowsheet definition and mine engineering studies intended to help advance Skaergaard toward future technical milestones. The agreement also contemplates a return site visit by SLR specialists in late August or early September 2026 in connection with the Company's planned summer field activities.
Greenland Mines also expects SLR to work closely with the other leading consultants already engaged on the Project. This includes GTK Mintec, in relation to metallurgical and processing flow sheet and pilot test work, and WSP, who's previously announced environmental baseline mandate forms part of the broader technical work program around Skaergaard. The Company believes this combination creates an unusually strong and complementary team of advisors for the Project, bringing together expertise across geology, metallurgy, infrastructure, environmental work and development planning.
