NEWS RELEASE 24 NOVEMBER 2025
GREENX TARGETING GOLD, TUNGSTEN & ANTIMONY AT ELEONORE NORTH PROJECT IN
GREENLAND
HIGHLIGHTS
· Outcropping gold and high-grade antimony mineralisation now
confirmed at the Noa Prospect within the Eleonore North Project in East
Greenland
· High-grade tungsten and antimony mineralisation also identified
in Historical Estimate at the Margeries Prospects within the Eleonore North
Project:
o 83kt of mineralised rock with a mean grade of 4.6% Sb at North Margeries
o 58kt of mineralised rock grading at 3.2% W at South Margeries
o 32kt of mineralised rock grading at 1% W at North Margeries
· Potential to identify large scale deposits in new underexplored
province with gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining at surface
over a length of up to 15 km
· Field activities initially focusing on the shallow gold and
high-grade tungsten and antimony potential are currently being finalised for
2026
· GreenX will issue the deferred consideration (A$1 million in
value of GreenX shares, escrowed for 12 months) in due course for the Eleonore
North Project to retain a 100% interest in the Project
· Cautionary statement: The Historical Estimates in this
announcement are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) (JORC
Code). A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the
Historical Estimate as a mineral resource or ore reserve in accordance with
the JORC Code. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further
exploration work that the Historical Estimate will be able to be reported as a
mineral resource or ore reserve in accordance with the JORC Code.
GreenX Metals Limited (ASX:GRX, LSE:GRX, GPW:GRX, Germany-FSE:A3C9JR) (GreenX
or Company) is pleased to announce that following an extensive analysis of new
and existing exploration data for the Eleonore North Project (ELN or Eleonore
North) in Greenland since July 2024, GreenX now intends to issue the deferred
consideration for the Eleonore North Project, being A$1 million in value of
GreenX shares (escrowed for 12 months), and thereby GreenX retaining a 100%
interest in the Project.
GreenX's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ben Stoikovich, commented: "We have been
able to identify a number of potentially high value gold, tungsten and
antimony targets at Eleonore North, which warrant further exploration.
Tungsten and antimony are listed as critical minerals for the European Union
and the U.S., and with gold at record prices, we are providing shareholders
with exposure to a large and underexplored region for highly sought after
minerals.
Over the coming months we will finalise the Eleonore North Project exploration
programme for 2026, to further define and prioritise potential drill targets."

NOA PROSPECT- POTENTIALLY LARGE-SCALE BULK TONNAGE GOLD/ANTIMONY
The Noa Prospect is located within the ELN Project on exploration licence MEL
2023-39 and has the potential to host a "reduced intrusion-related gold
system" (RIRGS), analogous to large bulk-tonnage deposit types found in Canada
including Donlin Creek, Fort Knox and Dublin Gulch.
· Gold and antimony mineralisation documented at the high-priority
Noa Prospect within Eleonore North(2)
· Geophysical "bullseye" anomaly 6 km wide co-incident with
elevated gold and antimony mineralisation from historical geochemical
sampling(2)
· Anomalous gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining
exposed at surface over a length of up to 15 km(1).
· Historical individual specimens grading up to 23% antimony (Sb),
and other samples up to 4g/t gold (Au)(1)
· Previously reported historical data confirmed the presence of
gold and high-grade antimony in outcropping veins at ELN including:
o 14 m long chip sample grading 7.2% Sb and 0.53g/t Au(2)
o 40 m chip line with a length weighed average of 0.78g/t Au(2)
· Antimony mineralisation has been identified along a ~4km trend in
veins and structures, that broadly aligns with previously identified gold
veining at surface within a 15 km trend(1).
Eleonore North hosts antimony- and gold-bearing veins in an area sitting above
a geophysical anomaly at Noa interpreted to be a pluton (Figure 2). A passive
seismic survey in 2023 showed evidence for multiple blind intrusions rising to
just beneath the surface(3). Geological features such as the metal association
and mineralisation style provide additional evidence for a RIRGS being active
at the Noa prospect.
Figure 2: Historical results show evidence for high-grade antimony and gold
mineralisation above the interpreted pluton at Noa.
Previous exploration was focused on orogenic gold mineralisation meaning that
RIRGS targets have been overlooked. GreenX believes that the antimony-gold
mineralisation above the pluton at Noa could be analogous to Perpetua
Resources' Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho, USA. There, RIRGS and orogenic gold
mineralisation styles overprint each other.
During the 2023 field season, a passive seismic survey was undertaken above
the pluton at Noa within ELN. Processing the results in 3D identified multiple
blind plutons within the survey area. These 1 to 2 km-wide elongated plutons
make ideal hosts for RIRGS mineralisation and are priority targets.
MARGERIES PROSPECTS - HIGH GRADE TUNGSTEN & ANTIMONY HISTORICAL ESTIMATE
The Margeries Prospects also are located within the ELN Project on exploration
licence MEL 2018-19, where high-grade tungsten mineralisation and antimony
mineralisation has been identified as follows, as historical estimates:
· 83kt of mineralised rock with a mean grade of
4.6% Sb at North Margeries
· 58.1kt of mineralised rock grading at 3.2% W at
South Margeries
· 32kt of mineralised rock grading at 1% W at North
Margeries
· Cautionary statement: The Historical Estimates in this
announcement are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent
person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimate as a
mineral resource or ore reserve in accordance with the JORC Code. It is
uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the
Historical Estimate will be able to be reported as a mineral resource or ore
reserve in accordance with the JORC Code.
· Over 2,000m of historical drilling completed with core still
available in Greenland, as well as sighter metallurgical test work on the
tungsten, both of which will be revisited and re-analysed by the Company's
geologists to aim to conform with JORC requirements
· Both tungsten and antimony are on the USA and EU critical raw
materials list, both experiencing dramatic price increases over the last year
due to Chinese restriction of exports with both commodities critical to
defence and the energy transition
· The mineralisation is hosted within a >10 km strike length
underexplored sulphide bearing hydrothermal vein system and east to west fault
systems
Figure 3: Location map for the Margeries Prospects within MEL 2018-19.
Both the North and South Margeries targets host Historical Estimates including
tungsten (W). North Margeries additionally includes an antimony (Sb)
Historical Estimate. North and South Margeries are both within 10 km of fjords
allowing ready shipping access. The region is mountainous with locally
ice-covered plateaus and deep U-shaped valleys.
Previous Tungsten-Antimony Exploration
The first commercial exploration in the area was carried out by Nordisk
Mineselskab A/S (Nordisk) who began their initial investigations in the
western part of Ymer Island in the 1950s. Nordisk was dissolved in 1991 and
the permit covering the North and South Margeries prospects was taken over by
NunaOil A/S (NunaOil) in 1992. NunaOil later became (NunaMinerals).
NunaMinerals held the licence until 2016 when the company went into
liquidation.
Based on the historical data that the Company has now reviewed, exploration
work by Nordisk began on Ymer Island in the 1950s after galena-bearing veins
had been identified in the Noa area (Harpøth, 1986). Pan samples collected in
streams of western Ymer Island in the 1970s led to the discovery of North
Margeries and South Margeries.
These targets were drilled in 1981 and 1983 by Nordisk with a total of 35
holes for 2,240m. Shallower holes were drilled in 1981 using a diamond drill
rig, while in 1983 deeper, percussion holes were drilled. In 1992, NunaOil
took 137 stream samples. Between 2008 and 2014, NunaMinerals flew heliborne
magnetics and electromagnetics surveys over Noa and Margeries valleys. The
Company will revisit and re-analyse the historic drilling data with an aim to
report it in accordance with the JORC Code.
Historic Metallurgical Test Work
Scoping level metallurgical test work by SGS Mineral Services UK in 2012 on a
bulk sample from South Margeries has been obtained by the Company.
GreenX's technical team will continue to review and verify the historical
metallurgical test work, whilst assessing the opportunity to take samples from
historic core for modern day mineralogical analysis and to obtain additional
bulk samples for both tungsten and antimony metallurgical sighter test work,
with an aim to be reported in accordance with the JORC Code.
Historical Estimate
In 1984, a Historical Estimate was prepared by Nordisk for North and South
Margeries using the data collected during the drilling programs of 1981 and
1983.
At South Margeries, the mean value of the Historical Estimate is 58.1kt of
mineralised rock grading at 3.2% W. At North Margeries, the Historical
Estimate is 83kt of antimony-mineralised rock with a mean grade of 4.6% Sb and
32kt of tungsten-mineralised rock grading at 1% W.
The Historical Estimates were calculated by Nordisk using the original data
collected by the same company.
No modern resource estimation compliant with current industry reporting codes
such as JORC has been undertaken in the project area.
Cautionary statement: The Historical Estimates in this announcement are not
reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not done
sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimate as a mineral resources or
ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code. It is uncertain that following
evaluation and/or further exploration work that the Historical Estimate will
be able to be reported as a mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance
with the JORC Code.

Critical Raw Materials
Both tungsten and antimony are on the USA and EU critical raw materials lists,
with both recently experiencing dramatic supply constraints due to China
announcing restriction of exports between late 2023 and February 2025, with
both commodities being critical to defence, the energy transition and other
industries.
ANTIMONY: Global strategic interest in antimony has significantly increased
over the last 18 months due to several factors:
o China controls ~50% of global antimony mining, most downstream processing
and 32% of global resources according to the Lowy Institute.
o China's previously announced export ban on antimony has caused market
disruption.
o Antimony is a crucial material in the defence supply chain, used in
various military applications including ammunition, flame retardants, and
smart weaponry.
o Antimony is essential in renewable energy technologies including
more-energy-efficient solar panel glass containing and in preventing thermal
runaway in batteries.
The antimony price has now climbed to US$60,000/t from historical prices of
~US$5,000 - 10,000/t. The strategic importance of antimony is such that during
2025 the US government has facilitated development of an investment in US
antimony assets. In September 2025, the DLA awarded U.S. Antimony Corp an
exclusive, sole-source contract for up to US$245 million to supply antimony
metal ingots for the national defence stockpile.
In January 2025, the US government issued final permitting for Perpetua
Resources' Stibnite gold/ antimony project in Idaho. The Pentagon has
committed nearly US$60 million to the project through the Defence Production
Act. In October 2025 JPMorgan Chase (JP Morgan) announced that it will
invest $75 million of its own funds for a ~3% stake in Perpetua from its
recently announced $1.5 trillion investment fund for U.S. national security, a
move underscoring the Perpetua's key role in producing a metal which is used
to make bullets and other weaponry.
TUNGSTEN: Global strategic interest in tungsten significantly increased in
February 2025 when China announced sweeping export controls targeting tungsten
and four other metals used across defence, clean energy and other industries.
China's export controls were announced minutes after an additional 10% tariff
on Chinese goods imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump came into effect.
About 90% of global tungsten comes from Russia, China and North Korea, with
China alone accounting for about 80 per cent of the world's tungsten output.
The US has not had domestic tungsten production since 2015.
Geology
The Project is centred around the >10 km thick, unmetamorphosed Late
Precambrian Eleonore Bay Group (EBG) sedimentary package. Replacement type
tungsten-antimony-gold mineralisation is hosted within wide sulphide-bearing
hydrothermal veins and east to west fault systems (>10 km in length) which
cuts sandstones, siltstones and shales of the Quartzitic Series of the EBG at
Noa. The multicoloured series of the EBG (limestone, dolomite and dolomitic
shale) hosts separate, high grade lenses of scheelite (tungsten) and stibnite
(antimony) mineralisation at South Margeries and North Margeries,
respectively.
The tungsten and antimony mineralisation in the Margeries Prospects occurs in
silicified lensoid breccia zones in the central portions of graben like fault
structures associated with E-W faults. The very high grades of tungsten and
antimony and their restriction to discrete strata within the EBG is inferred
to result from chemical traps offered by the availability of calcium within
limestones and dolomites (scheelite mineralisation) and similarly the high
concentrations of sulphur within the dolomite-shales (stibnite
mineralisation). The vertical expression of the hydrothermally zoned
mineralised system is upwards of 1,500 metres.
Exploration Potential
In 2008, NunaMinerals commissioned SkyTEM to conduct a helicopter-borne
combined time domain electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic geophysical survey,
comprising of 2,250 line kilometres. This resulted in the delineation of
several significant geophysical targets within the area, many of which may
correspond to known geochemical sediment anomalies. Hyperspectral surveying by
NunaMinerals could potentially identify a unique spectral signature occurring
with the structures hosting further mineralisation. This could be an important
dataset for delineating the strike continuity of existing targets and the
potential identification of additional mineralisation within the region
(although no forecast is made of whether that may occur).
GreenX has acquired the historical hyperspectral data from the Danish and
Greenlandic Geological Survey (GEUS) in Copenhagen and will appoint a
geophysics contractor to process the data.
Drill core from the Historical Estimate at the Margeries Prospects exists in
government archives and is available for inspection and sampling.
NEXT STEPS FOR THE ELEONORE NORTH PROJECT
Noa Prospect:
· Process the historical hyperspectral survey;
· Field mapping and sampling to ground-truth RIRGS targets and
identify drill targets.
Margeries Prospects:
· Collect bulk sample material for both tungsten and antimony
metallurgical sighter test work;
· Inspect the archive core with a view to obtaining samples for
re-analysis and metallurgical sighter test work.
· Reprocessing of historic geophysics / hyperspectral data and
field mapping to identify drill targets.
ELN COMMERCIAL TERMS
As announced on 15 July 2024 regarding the revised commercial terms for GreenX
to acquire the Eleonore North Project, a final payment of A$1,000,000 in cash
or GreenX shares was required for GreenX to retain the ELN Project after 31
December 2025.
GreenX now intends to retain its interest in ELN and accordingly will issue
A$1,000,000 in value of GreenX shares (subject to 12 months escrow and based
on the 5 trading day VWAP to 1 January 2026) in due course, but no later than
31 January 2026.
ARCTIC RIFT COPPER PROJECT (ARC) AND JOINT VENTURE
Given the prospectivity and focus on the Tannenberg Copper Project in Germany
and at Eleonore North, and following a review of its portfolio of projects and
the most efficient and effective use of the Company's resources, GreenX has
decided to withdraw from the ARC Joint Venture, which in accordance with the
terms of the Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) between GreenX Metals
Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Investments Pty Ltd, and
Greenfields Exploration Limited (GEX) dated 6 October 2021, will become
effective in 90 days. As a result of the withdrawal from the JVA, the
Company will recognise an impairment expense of A$7.77 million relating to the
impairment of the exploration and evaluation asset previously recognised in
relation to the ARC project.

5.12 - Subject to rule 5.13, an entity reporting historical estimates or
historical estimates of mineralisation in relation to a material mining
project must include all of the following information in a market announcement
and give it to ASX for release to the market:
5.12.1 - The source and date of the historical estimates or foreign estimates. In 1984 a Historical Estimate was estimated by Nordisk for North and South
Margeries using the data collected during the drilling programs of 1981 and
1983. The original source document was entitled "Vein Type Tungsten and
Antimony Mineralisation in Central East Pedersen" by Pedersen, J.L. &
Olesen B.L. (1984).
The original source document was discovered in the archives of the Geological
Survey of Denmark and Greenland. Report File 20730.
5.12.2 - Whether the historical estimates or foreign estimates use categories The Historical Estimate did not use categories of mineralisation. The practice

The Historical Estimate were made prior to the JORC Code reporting guidelines
being formulated and do not conform to the requirements in the JORC Code.
The Historical Estimates were referred to as "Ore Reserves". Both the terms
"ore" and "reserve" are considered to be inappropriate in line with the JORC
Code, as there has been insufficient consideration of modifying factors.

estimates or foreign estimates. Historical Estimates were made prior to the JORC Code reporting guidelines
being formulated and do not conform to the requirements in the JORC Code.
The Historical Estimate was produced using robust and well qualified methods
that were unusually advanced for the time. The source data used for the
estimate was produced using carefully planned quality control and quality
assurance processes. Where percussion drilling was used, holes were rejected
from the estimate where sample recovery was not sufficient, showing an
understanding of grouping and segregation error. Drilling recovery was near
100%. Sub sampling procedures were designed using Gy sampling theory, errors
were calculated and adjusted to keep within acceptable limits. Custom-made
standards were produced for the project to remove instrumentation bias. Also
of note was that the project used an umpire lab to test for inter-lab bias.
Also unusual for the time was the use of computing to store the data and to
calculate the estimates. This shows an attempt to prevent transcription errors
and use statistically valid estimation methodologies.
The Company has completed a Table 1 of Appendix 5A (JORC Code) which are
relevant to understanding the reliability of the Historical Estimates. Please
refer below.
GreenX is not treating the Historical Estimate as a Mineral Resource Estimate
or Ore Reserve and considers the Historical Estimate to represent an
exploration project that requires verification. However, nothing has come to
the attention of the Company or the Competent Person that causes it to
question the accuracy or reliability of the Historical Estimate and it is on
this basis that the Company and Competent Person consider the Historical
Estimate to be reliable. However, the Company and Competent Person has not
independently validated the Historical Estimates and therefore is not to be
regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing the Historical Estimate. It is
possible that following evaluation and/or further exploration work the
currently reported Historical Estimate may materially change and at this point
the Company will need to be update the reporting in accordance with the JORC
Code (or it may never become reportable at all in accordance with the JORC
Code).

Exploration done by other parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. 1953 - lead, copper and zinc bearing veins were discovered at Noa as part of a
regional mapping program by Nordisk Mineselskab A/G ('Nordisk').
1974 - 1976: Nordisk mapped the Holmesø copper-antimony prospect in
Brogetdal, Strindbergland. Geophysical surveying was performed. The
outcropping mineralisation was blasted a 100kg bulk sample was retrieved, of
which 35kg was sent for analysis. Finally, an attempt was made to drill the
mineralisation, and only the top 1.4m of a targeted 17m mineralised horizon
was sampled before the rig broke down. Nordisk concluded that the Holmesø
mineralisation is epigenetic.
1981 - 1983: Nordisk discovered the two small, high-grade tungsten and
antimony-tungsten deposits on Ymer Island. These are respectively known as
South Margeries and North Margeries . These deposits were drilled and
Historical Estimates were made. Economic studies were performed but
concluded that more mineralised material was needed. The drilled
mineralisation is open at depth and along strike. The historical work on the
tungsten and antimony is not material to the understanding of the project's
gold potential.
1984 - 1986: As part of Nordisk's search for more tungsten mineralisation, a
large gold bearing vein was discovered in the southern cliff face of the
valley at Noa. The mineralisation in the scree was sampled. Geochemical
sampling was also performed which identified a 10 to 15 km long multielement
anomaly dominated by arsenic and antimony, which have a positive correlation
with gold. Nordisk had a strategic shift towards petroleum exploration after
this point in time.
1992: With the demise of Nordisk in 1991, the Greenland state owned
enterprise, NunaOil A/S in collaboration with Australia's Pasminco Ltd did
additional sampling of the Noa gold veins. The program was successful in
finding additional veins in the valley floor and extending the known
mineralisation. However, the corporate mandate was for 'high grade gold'
which it was unsuccessful in locating. This result is unsurprising given
that the veins are above the hornfels and correspondingly yield high-grade
antimony and low-gold content. GEX expects the gold content to increase, and
antimony to decrease at depth towards the causative pluton.
2008 - 2009: GEUS visited Ymer Island and took various rock grab samples in
the Noa area. Assay results from these samples were recently made publicly
available on the Greenland Portal.
2009: NunaMinerals A/S, a public-private spinout from NunaOil A/S, conducted a
heliborne magnetic survey over Margeries and Noa. The purpose of this survey
was to directly detect tungsten, and antimony deposits. Neither of the known
deposits were detectable using this method, however a distinct circular
magnetic feature was identified in Noa. This magnetic feature was
interpreted to be a granitic/intermediate intrusion. During this time,
samples from the South Margeries deposit were sent for metallurgical
analysis, which determined that the material was potentially suited to
direct-shipping-ore, and amendable to basic beneficiation methods.
2011: Avannaa Resources Ltd ('Avannaa') conducted a basin-wide helicopter
supported reconnaissance program. This included visits to the Holmesø
mineralisation. Avannaa concluded that the Holmesø mineralisation was
epigenetic and likely related to the mineralisation observed on Ymer Island.
2018-2019: Independence Group Ltd (subsequently rebranded as IGO Ltd ('IGO')
through a joint-venture agreement with GEX, conducted field programs that were
focussed on the sedimentary-hosted copper deposit model. During this time,
IGO managed all geological aspects of the program while GEX managed the
logistics in 2018 and 2019. IGO visited Noa in 2018 and 2019 but focussed on
the north slope away from the pluton at Noa, and on areas typified by magnetic
highs rather than the lows which define the pluton's circular magnetic
signature. Despite this, quartzite mineralisation reminiscent of Holmesø
was identified but no mineralogy is recorded in the documentation. While in
the field with IGO in 2019, GEX alerted IGO to the presence of antimony and
gold in the south side of the valley, but no commensurate sampling was
performed. During the IGO earn-in period, GEX located the historical
drillhole collars at North and South Margeries tungsten/antimony deposits.
The Holmesø prospect was visited by IGO in 2018, 2019 and 2022. IGO's
Holmesø sampling did not replicate Nordisk's high-grade blast/bulk sample, or
the drill results. Regional sampling identified diagenetic copper, as well
as remobilised epigentic copper that expresses as course blebs of chalcocite
within porous, bed-cutting, vuggy conduits.
2022: IGO conducted a structural and geochemical sampling program in
Strindbergland (no activity on Ymer Island). This program correctly
concluded that the 'sediment-hosted copper deposit model' is not a suitable
analogy. IGO returned to GEX the licences that were in good standing, with
the indebted licences being relinquished by IGO. The remaining licences
became the 'Eleonore North' project, which is a subset of the original
'Frontier' project area.
2023: In May, GEX installed an array of passive seismic nodes on Ymer Island
within the licence area. Passive seismic nodes record ambient noise in the
crust and accumulate data over many weeks. In September 2023, GEX collected
the nodes from Ymer Island. The nodes were returned to the Institute of Mine
Seismology (IMS) for data download and processing. IMS produced a 3D velocity
model.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The vein-type tungsten and antimony mineralisation occurs in late Precambrian
sedimentary rocks of the Eleonore Bay Group in Central East Greenland,
particularly within the Multicoloured Series. These unmetamorphosed
sandstones, siltstones, and limestones form part of a folded and faulted basin
sequence that was later deformed during Caledonian deformation. The
mineralisation is structurally controlled, occurring along steep,
fault-related veins and fracture zones that acted as conduits for hydrothermal
fluids. The mineral assemblage is dominated by scheelite and stibnite, with
minor sulphides and quartz, and is commonly associated with silicification and
carbonate alteration of the host rocks.

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources
Given the Company is reporting non-JORC Historical Estimates, further
exploration and evaluation activities are required to be completed to aim to
verify the Historical Estimates as mineral resources in accordance the JORC
Code. Accordingly, the Company cannot complete the Section 3 Estimation and
Reporting of Mineral Resources JORC table unless and until a mineral resource
estimate can be verified and estimated. There is no certainty that further
exploration work will result in the Historical Estimate being reported in
accordance with the JORC Code.
