TORONTO, January 23, 2023 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Greenland Resources Inc. (NEO: MOLY, FSE: M0LY) (“Greenland Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding. which is a leading distributor of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, cast iron and alloys worldwide. steel, foundry and chemical industries.

The MoU serves as the basis for the supply agreement for molybdenite concentrate and secondary products such as ferromolybdenum and molybdenum oxide. In order to diversify and maximize molybdenum selling prices, the company’s marketing strategy focuses on direct sales to end users, agreements with calciners to ensure end-user product specifications are met, and sales to strategically important distributors with a focus on European steel, chemical and industrial markets. .
Andreas Keller, vice president of Scandinavian Steel, said: “Demand for molybdenum is strong and there are structural supply issues going forward; we are excited to be involved in this upcoming primary molybdenum mine in the United States of the European Union, which will supply very pure molybdenum for decades to come.” Molybdenum with high ESG standards”
Dr. Reuben Schiffman, Chairman of Greenland Resources, commented: “Northern Europe accounts for a significant portion of EU molybdenum consumption and is the second largest consumer of molybdenum in the world, but does not produce it itself. Scandinavian steel companies have a strong reputation. record Documented and will help us diversify our sales and strengthen relationships in the region. With the exception of China, about 10% of the world’s supply of molybdenum comes from primary molybdenum mines. Primary molybdenum is cleaner, higher quality, meets all industry standards, and is more environmental friendly processing. Malmjerg has the potential to provide 50% of the world’s primary supply.”
Founded in 1958, Scandinavian Steel has grown into a leading distributor of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, cast iron and alloys for the steel, foundry and chemical industries worldwide. Many of their products are used to produce raw materials that later become important components in the automotive, aerospace and electronics industries. They are headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and are supported by a network of offices in Europe and Asia.
Greenland Resources is a Canadian publicly traded company, whose principal regulator is the Ontario Securities Commission, which develops a 100% owned world-class pure molybdenum Climax deposit in east-central Greenland. The Malmbjerg molybdenum project is an open pit mine with an environmentally friendly mine design that focuses on reducing water consumption, aquatic impacts and land area through a modular infrastructure. The Malmbjerg project relies on a Tetra Tech NI 43-101 final feasibility study due to be completed in 2022, with proven and probable reserves of 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS2 containing 571 million pounds of molybdenum metal. As a result of producing high quality molybdenum during the first half of the life of the mine, the average annual production during the first ten years is 32.8 million pounds of molybdenum-containing metal per year with an average MoS2 grade of 0.23%. In 2009, the project received a mining license. Based in Toronto, the firm is led by a management team with extensive mining and capital markets experience. Additional information can be found on our website (www.greenlandresources.ca) and in our documentation for Canadian regulations on the Greenland Resources profile at www.sedar.com.
The project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA), the knowledge and innovation community of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a European association of institutions, as described in its press release EIT/ERMA_13 June 2022.
Molybdenum is a key metal mainly used in the steel and chemical industries and is required for all technologies in the upcoming clean energy transition (World Bank 2020; IEA 2021). When added to steel and cast iron, it improves strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. According to the International Molybdenum Association and the European Commission Steel Report, global molybdenum production in 2021 will be approximately 576 million pounds, with the European Union (“EU”), the world’s second largest steel producer, using approximately 25% of global molybdenum production. Molybdenum supply Insufficient, no molybdenum production in China. To a greater extent, EU steel industries such as automotive, construction and engineering account for about 18% of the bloc’s roughly $16 trillion GDP. The strategically located Greenland Resources molybdenum project in Malmbjerg could supply the EU with around 24 million pounds of environmentally friendly molybdenum per year from a responsible EU associated country over the next few decades. Malmbjerg ore is of high quality and low in impurities of phosphorus, tin, antimony and arsenic, making it an ideal source of molybdenum for the high-performance steel industry in which Europe, especially the Scandinavian countries and Germany, lead the world.
