Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq, commented:

"We are honoured to be listing on First North Iceland. From 1 November we will
be able to offer our shares to a larger marketplace, in particular to Iceland,
a growing economic market where the Greenland growth story is a well followed
current topic. Trading Amaroq IDRs on First North will offer Icelandic
investors exposure to Amaroq's high-value precious and strategic energy
transition minerals asset portfolio in South Greenland.

"The close cooperation between Greenland and Iceland paints a very strong
growth picture. Both countries are harnessing their natural energy resources
sustainably, demonstrating that self-reliance in energy is essential for
economic growth and stability. The free trading agreements recently agreed
between Iceland and Greenland are testimony to the goodwill of enterprise
between the jurisdictions."

 

Nasdaq First North

Nasdaq First North Growth Market is a registered SME growth market, in
accordance with the Directive on Markets in Financial Instruments (EU 2014/65)
as implemented in the national legislation of Denmark, Finland, Iceland and
Sweden, operated by an exchange within the Nasdaq group. Issuers on Nasdaq
First North Growth Market are not subject to all the same rules as issuers on
a regulated main market, as defined in EU legislation (as implemented in
national law). Instead, they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and
regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in investing in an
issuer on Nasdaq First North Growth Market may therefore be higher than
investing in an issuer on the main market. All issuers with Shares admitted to
trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market have a certified adviser who
monitors that the rules are followed. The respective Nasdaq exchange approves
the application for admission to trading.
