This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250630233338/en/
Dr. Jørgen Huno has over 25 years of experience heading international project businesses in general and in mining in particular. Among others, he was CEO of Hoffmann A/S for 16 years, the oldest Scandinavian construction company executing infrastructure projects in Greenland, followed by 10 years as CEO of FLSmidth & Co. A/S, a global leader in mining technology and equipment as well as construction of cement plants on a turnkey basis. He has also for a decade been Vice-Chairman of the international engineering groups Rambøll Group A/S and Topsoe A/S. In addition, Mr Huno Rasmussen has financial experience as former Chairman of the insurance group Tryg A/S and The Lundbeck Foundation. He has a Ph.D. in Project Management from the Technical University of Denmark and is an Adjunct Professor at Copenhagen Business School.
Dr. Jørgen Huno commented: 'Greenland Resources Inc. is addressing a critical need especially for Europe to supply the necessary molybdenum and byproduct magnesium, and I am very excited to contribute to this essential project that is combining my experience in mining, large project execution in general and in Greenland in particular.'
Dr. Ruben Shiffman, Chairman, commented: 'We are thrilled that Jørgen joined our advisory board. Now that we received our exploitation license, we are beginning the equity capex financing process and Jørgen will be instrumental on technical aspects of the project with Danish stakeholders. The project has the potential to boost Greenland's GDP by approximately 22% and can generate taxes for Greenland equivalent to 18% of Denmark's grants to Greenland. The project can meet all of Denmark's molybdenum demand and can also meet all the EU's defence molybdenum demand (over 80% of metallic materials used in defense applications contain molybdenum). This is relevant because only China and the United States supply primary molybdenum to Europe, and the EU is the second largest molybdenum user worldwide with large processing capacity but has no extraction.'
About Molybdenum and the EU
The EU is the second largest molybdenum user worldwide, (around 122 million pounds of molybdenum per year, 19% of the global demand according to IMOA), has large processing capacity, produces the best specialty steel products worldwide but has no molybdenum extraction. Green energy technologies, steel and defence are the key drivers for market growth. When molybdenum is added to steel and cast iron, it enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. To a greater degree, the EU steel dependent industries like automotive, construction, and engineering, represent around 18% of EU GDP. Greenland Resources strategically located Malmbjerg project has the potential to supply in and for the EU approximately 25% of the EU demand of environmentally friendly high-quality primary molybdenum from a responsible EU Associate country for decades to come, as well as 100% of EU defence molybdenum consumption. More than 80% of the metallic materials (including carbon and stainless steels) to be used for defence applications require molybdenum alloying. The primary molybdenum in the Malmbjerg project is ideal for EU defence and high-performance steel applications because of low deleterious elements and long-term security supply. The EU expects to increase defense expenditures from current 1.5% to around 5% of GDP. Primary molybdenum is only produced in China (87%) and the USA (13%), China imposed export controls on molybdenum and is now a net importer. Molybdenum is categorized as a critical and/or strategic mineral across the top five defence nations in the world: U.S., China, Russia, India, and South Korea.
About Magnesium and the EU
The EU uses around 145,000 tones of magnesium per year (15% of the global demand) but has no treatment facilities nor extraction. Electric vehicle production and sustainable manufacturing practices are key drivers for market growth. Magnesium is a light metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio, primarily utilized in the form of magnesium metal or magnesium compounds such as caustic-calcined magnesia, magnesium chloride, hydroxide and sulfates. Magnesium metal is primarily used as casting alloy in automotive and aerospace industries (64%), aluminum-base alloys for packaging and transportation (18%), and in the desulfurization of iron and steel (4%). Smelter production of magnesium metal in 2024 was 1 million metric tonnes, 85% coming from seawater, while smelter capacity worldwide is double. Also, approximately 75% of magnesium compounds serve industrial purposes including fertilizers, cattle feed, Epsom salts, heat-resistant bricks, de-icing etc. (USGS 2024). China produces 89% of the world magnesium and Europe sources 97% of its magnesium from China (EC, 2023).
Qualified Person Statement
The news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Jim Steel, P.Geo., M.B.A. a Qualified Person as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101 'Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects'.
Greenland Resources Inc.
Greenland Resources is a Canadian public company with the Ontario Securities Commission as its principal regulator and is focused on the development of its 100% owned Climax type primary molybdenum deposit located in central east Greenland. The Project has also magnesium as a byproduct, a market dominated 89% by China. The Malmbjerg project is an open pit operation with an environmentally friendly mine design focused on reduced water usage, low aquatic disturbance and low footprint due to modularized infrastructure. The Malmbjerg project benefits from an NI 43-101 Definitive Feasibility Study completed by Tetra Tech in 2022, with an US$820 million capex and a levered after-tax IRR of 33.8% and payback of 2.4 years, using US$18 per pound molybdenum price. The Proven and Probable Reserves are 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS 2, for 571 million pounds of contained molybdenum metal. As the high-grade molybdenum is mined for the first half of the mine life, the average annual production for years one to ten is 32.8 million pounds per year of contained molybdenum metal at an average grade of 0.23% MoS 2, approximately 25% of EU total yearly consumption and 100% of EU defence needs. On byproduct magnesium, the project uses approximately 35,000 m 3 per day of saline water with around 900 ppm of magnesium and the Company is working on extracting magnesium from the saline water using innovative technologies. In addition, the molybdenum concentrate has a magnesium component. The Company is aiming to incorporate magnesium in the economics of the feasibility study. On June 19, 2025, The Company was awarded an exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium. With offices in Toronto, the Company is led by a management team with an extensive track record in the mining industry and capital markets. For further details, please refer to our web site ( www.greenlandresources.ca) and our Canadian regulatory filings on Greenland Resources' profile at http://www.sedarplus.com/
The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). ERMA is managed by EIT RawMaterials, an organization within the EIT, a body of the European Union.

Canada U-turn leaves Europe in the lurch on U.S. tech taxes
Prime Minister Mark Carney walks with U.S. President Donald Trump after a group photo at the G7 Summit, Monday, June 16, 2025, in Kananaskis, Canada. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) PARIS -- Canada's dropping of a tax on U.S. tech giants under the pressure of Donald Trump is fuelling concern about the future of such levies in other countries, particularly in Europe. 'Currently, about half of all European OECD countries have either announced, proposed, or implemented' a digital services tax pending global action, said the Tax Foundation, a think tank which supports the introduction of such taxes. But the future of such measures is unclear after the Group of Seven nations agreed Saturday to exempt US multinational companies from a global minimum tax imposed by other countries. The move sparked a pointed reaction from Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz. 'This is about more than trade -- it's about whether democratically elected governments can regulate and tax powerful corporations or whether tech billionaires can dictate policy through political proxies,' he said. Who has imposed such a tax? Austria, Brazil, Britain, France, India, Italy, Spain and Turkiye are a dozen large countries which have imposed or planned to impose special taxes on big tech firms. The objective is to force them to pay taxes where they carry out business as well as to counter the tax optimization strategies they often practice. Generally, the taxes target sales revenue and focus essentially on US firms like Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Facebook (Meta) and Microsoft. But they differ from one country to another in terms of sales that are taxed, with some targeting advertising revenue and others sales of data. 'Most of the proposed or adopted rates are in the 2-5 per cent range,' of the revenue stream targeted, according to analysts at the Canadian Tax Foundation. Most nations adopted the taxes pending a global agreement which would see multinational companies pay some taxes in countries where they operate, but the prospects for such a deal now look bleak. What these taxes generate The taxes tend to raise more money year after year, according to the latest data from the EU Tax Observatory, which dates from June 2023. Britain, France, India, Italy and Turkiye have seen steady increases in the revenue their taxes generate. Both Britain and France each raised approximately US$1.1 billion last year via their digital services taxes. Italy saw its revenue from the tax jump by 90 per cent from 2021 to over $530 million last year, according to local media. But Spain, which hoped to raise more than a billion per year via its tax, only raised only around $350 million in 2023, according to La Vanguardia daily. Other dominoes to fall? Before Canada, India had already halted in April its six per cent tax on online advertising by foreign firms against the background of trade talks with the United States. The taxes may fall elsewhere. While Britain has reached a trade deal with the United States to avoid the worst tariffs, it wants to go further and has refused to rule out a modification or elimination of its digital services tax. EU nations so far haven't indicated that the tax is on the table. A German government spokesman said Monday that Canada's dropping its tech tax had 'absolutely no bearing' on Berlin's position as it considers it considers its tax policies. But worries remain. National digital service taxes are 'vulnerable to economic and political threats -- particularly from the US, which has historically protected its digital multinationals from fair taxation abroad,' said the Tax Justice Network, a coalition of researchers and activists.
