GreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc

("GreenRoc" or the "Company")

 

Digbee independent report on Company's ESG performance

Exercise of Warrants

 

GreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc (AIM: GROC), a company focused on the
development of critical mineral projects in Greenland, announces the
assessment results in respect of its annual Environmental, Social, and
Governance ("ESG") submission to Digbee ESG. The Company also announces
receipt of a notice to exercise warrants over a total of 1,153,846 new
ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("Shares") at an exercise
price of 2 pence per Share, raising £23,076.92 for the Company.

 

Annual Digbee ESG assessment reporting

GreenRoc has achieved an independent ESG rating of BB following its latest
annual submission to Digbee ESG. The BB rating is an average rating consisting
of a corporate ESG rating of BBB and a project ESG rating of BB. The corporate
BBB rating is an improvement from the previous BB rating announced on 25
February 2025 and reflects the initiatives implemented by GreenRoc during the
past 12 months.

 

Digbee is the mining sector's foremost independent assessment platform for
sustainability disclosure, endorsed by leading global financiers. The Digbee
ESG assessment is conducted by an independent panel of globally recognised
sustainability experts.

 

About the Digbee ESG Assessment

GreenRoc undertook and submitted a Digbee ESG disclosure in January 2026. This
comprised the completion of a set of comprehensive corporate and project
questionnaires appropriate to the stage of its Amitsoq project and mapped to
Global Standards. The questionnaires required provision of relevant data,
narrative and supporting evidence. The disclosure was assessed by independent
mining ESG experts in order to produce an impartial rating.

 

The overall BB rating is in the top-five category and reflects some of the
uncertainties related to the early development stage for both the Company and
the Amitsoq project. Thus, the scoring range for the Amitsoq project is from
CC to AA, while for the Company it is B to A. Generally speaking, the overall
average of BB represents a 'Neutral' rating.

Exercise of warrants

Application will be made for the 1,153,846 Shares issued in respect of the
notice of exercise of warrants to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is
expected to occur on or around 2 April 2026 ("Admission"). The Shares will
rank pari passu in all respects with the ordinary shares of the Company
currently traded on AIM.

 

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise
283,695,707 ordinary shares of 0.1p each. This number will represent the total
voting rights in the Company and may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.

 

 

GreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:

"We are pleased to have received an average 'Neutral' BB rating in our second
Digbee ESG assessment addressing GreenRoc's activities both at the Amitsoq
project and the corporate level. We are also proud to be one of the few
mineral exploration companies with an independent ESG certification, a
testament to GreenRoc's commitment to responsible development and transparency
at this relatively early stage of the Amitsoq project. This impartial rating
provides valuable insight into our current ESG standing and we recognise that
there are opportunities for improvement as we progress. We remain dedicated to
strengthening our environmental, social and governance practices as our
projects evolve, ensuring we deliver long-term, sustainable value for all
stakeholders."

About GreenRoc

GreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc is an AIM-quoted UK public company focused on
developing the Amitsoq Graphite Project in Greenland into a producing mine to
meet critical demand from Electric Vehicle manufacturers in Europe and North
America for new, high grade and conflict-free sources of graphite.

 

Amitsoq is one of the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world with a
combined Measured, Indicated and Inferred JORC Resource of 23.05 million
tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 20.41% graphite, sufficient to sustain
several decades of mining.

 

The plans for the Amitsoq Project include the construction of a facility to
further process mined graphite into active anode material ("AAM") - an
indispensable component of Li-batteries - which plans have been independently
and positively evaluated to the prefeasibility stage. GreenRoc has entered
into a memorandum of understanding with the Norwegian battery manufacturer
Morrow Batteries to establish a regional AAM supply chain.

 

GreenRoc received an Exploitation Licence for the Amitsoq Project from the
Government of Greenland in December 2025, valid for 30 years, and the Project
has been designated a Strategic Project by the EU.

 

In October 2025, GreenRoc secured a loan facility of EUR 5.2 million from the
Export and Investment Fund of Denmark ("EIFO") for the financing of the
Company's work programme, including the construction of a pilot AAM plant in
Denmark which is in progress and expected to be completed during 2026.

 

In December 2025, GreenRoc and its consortium partners DTU and IPU were
granted up to ca. £1.2m of grant funding for the project entitled
"EU-Graphite: Building European production of graphite active anode material"
("EU-Graphite") from the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration
Programme ("EUDP"), a Danish government funding programme, which funds will be
utilised to develop GreenRoc's plans to achieve a more sustainable and
environmentally friendly alkaline-based purification process for its anode
material.

 

Both GreenRoc and the Amitsoq Project have been ESG-certified by Digbee™, an
independent platform which provides sustainability assessments for the mining
industry.
