Engagement supports exploitation license pathway while advancing responsible, large-scale development of the Skaergaard Project CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenland Mines Ltd ("Greenland Mines" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GRML) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a consultancy agreement with WSP Danmark A/S ("WSP Denmark"), part of the global WSP group, to design and implement a full Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") baseline program at the Company's Skaergaard Gold-Palladium-Platinum and Critical Metal Project in eastern Greenland.
The work program with WSP Denmark is designed to meet the environmental requirements associated with the Company's planned exploitation license application, including Terms of Reference ("ToR") preparation, environmental baseline data collection, and the drafting of a compliant EIA for public consultation and regulatory approval. By initiating the environmental work, Greenland Mines is both accelerating the Skaergaard development and permitting process and demonstrating a strong, long‑term commitment to responsible development in Greenland. Two‑Year Arctic Environmental Baseline Program As part of the EIA, which must be submitted after the granting of an Exploitation License, Greenlandic authorities typically require at least two years of prior biological baseline surveys covering the full project area and realistic development alternatives. The work program in 2026 and 2027 intend to cover this requirement. WSP Denmark's scope for Skaergaard includes:
A comprehensive baseline report will be delivered after the 2026 campaign, with a final baseline report, and in parallel approvement of ToR and first draft EIA targeted after completion of the 2027 program. About WSP Denmark – Arctic and Mining Expertise with Global Reach WSP Denmark brings extensive Arctic environmental and permitting experience, including multiple mining and infrastructure projects in Greenland and the broader North Atlantic region, and operates within WSP's global platform of mining, processing and environmental specialists. This combination allows Greenland Mines to access both local Greenlandic and international best practice in areas such as mine design, water management, tailings, biodiversity, climate resilience and closure planning. About Skaergaard – a Unique Precious and Strategic Metals Opportunity The Skaergaard intrusion is recognized as one of the world's largest undeveloped resources of gold‑palladium‑platinum, with additional metals that are increasingly important to energy transition, defense application and high‑technology supply chains. While the project area has benefitted from decades of geological, resource and academic work, historical environmental datasets are relatively limited, making the current, large‑scale baseline program a critical enabler for responsible, long‑life mine development. About Greenland Mines Ltd Greenland Mines Ltd is a Nasdaq-listed company with two operating divisions: (1) Natural Resources, focused on the exploration and development of the Skaergaard Project in Southeast Greenland, one of the largest undeveloped palladium, gold, and platinum deposits in the world; and 2) Cell and Gene Therapy, including Klotho's KLTO-202 primary indication for ALS. The Company holds, through its recent acquisition of Greenland Mines Corp., an 80% interest in, and option to acquire the remaining 20% of, the Skaergaard Project, which hosts a 2022 NI 43-101 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 25.4 Moz PdEq and 23.5 Moz AuEq with a gross undiscounted in-situ resource value of approximately $68 billion based on February 2026 metal prices. The Company is led by an experienced team of mining, geological, biotech, and capital markets professionals. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements.
