Amitsoq Update

Virtual Presentation and Q&A

 

GreenRoc Mining plc (AIM: GROC), a company focused on the development of
critical mineral projects in Greenland, is pleased to announce that it has
awarded the contract to undertake a formal Preliminary Economic Assessment
("PEA") for its Amitsoq Graphite Project to SLR Consulting Limited ("SLR"), a
long-established UK consultancy with considerable expertise in the field of
mining and mineral processing, including in Greenland. SLR will commence work
on the PEA in May 2023 and it is expected to be completed by September 2023.
The completion of a PEA is an important step in the development of the Amitsoq
Project towards commercial production.

 

GreenRoc also today announces that it has established a wholly owned
Greenlandic registered subsidiary, Greenland Graphite a/s, to which the two
graphite mineral exploration licences (2013-06 and 2022-03) currently owned by
GreenRoc's subsidiary Obsidian Mining Ltd will be transferred, pending
approval by the Greenland Government. Under Greenland's mining regulations,
mining companies seeking to move to the exploitation phase of a project must
be incorporated in Greenland and Greenland Graphite a/s has therefore been
established for this purpose.

 

On 25th of May 2023 at 12:00pm GMT Stefan Bernstein, CEO of GreenRoc, will
provide an update on the Company's recent progress in relation to the Amitsoq
Project via the Investor Meet Company platform, as well as answering questions
submitted by attendees. During the live presentation, he will provide more
detail on the commencement of the PEA, the processing of a graphite ore bulk
sample by UVR-FIA in Germany and his views on the EU's efforts to meet its own
raw material demands by reviving extractive industries in Europe.

 

This investor presentation is open to all existing and potential shareholders.
Questions can be submitted up until 9am on the day before the event via the
Investor Meet Company Dashboard, and at any time during it.

 

Investors can sign up to Investor Meet Company for free via this link.

Investors who already follow GreenRoc Mining plc on the Investor Meet Company
platform will be automatically invited.

 

GreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:

 

"The Preliminary Economic Assessment Study or PEA is the first of a series of
studies which will provide a detailed assessment of the technical aspects and
costs associated with the construction and operation of our Amitsoq mine and
processing plants. SLR, who we have appointed to carry out the PEA, is a
leading UK-based mining consulting firm with a great deal of relevant
experience and expertise. The undertaking of this important piece of work
represents the next major step forward for the Amitsoq Project. Upon its
completion, the PEA will provide an economic model to demonstrate the
profitability of the mining of graphite at Amitsoq. We look forward to sharing
its results with shareholders in due course.

 

"Establishing our Greenlandic registered subsidiary, Greenland Graphite a/s,
also represents another milestone for the Company. As well as satisfying
Greenlandic mining regulations which requires the formation of a Greenlandic
company prior to the commencement of any mining operations, Greenland Graphite
a/s will also enable the Company to access more easily EU funding programmes
in the field of critical raw materials, something the Company is currently
actively exploring.

 

"I very much look forward to providing investors with a more detailed update
and answering their questions on 25 May 2023 at 12pm via the Investor Meet
Company platform."
