Greenland Mines称Sarfartoq稀土项目收购预计9月1日前完成

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN –
Greenland Mines Ltd
(“Greenland Mines” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GRML) today announced that it expects to complete its previously announced acquisition of Neo North Star Resources, Inc., owner of the Sarfartoq Nd-Pr Rare Earths Project in southwest Greenland, prior to Sept. 1, 2026.
The Company has received formal approval from the Government of Greenland for the indirect transfer of the Sarfartoq mineral license and has completed its recently announced public offering, providing the capital required to fund the $20 million cash component of the acquisition consideration. With the required Greenland approval secured and acquisition funding in place, Greenland Mines is positioned to proceed promptly to closing of the Sarfartoq acquisition.
Under the definitive acquisition agreement, Greenland Mines will acquire Neo North Star Resources for total consideration of $35 million, consisting of $20 million in cash and $15 million in newly issued Greenland Mines common stock. Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO) will become a strategic shareholder of Greenland Mines in connection with the transaction and retains offtake rights for up to 60% of future Sarfartoq ore or mineral concentrate production.
“With Greenland’s approval secured and the capital to fund the acquisition now in place, we are ready to close Sarfartoq,” said Dr. Bo Møller Stensgaard, President of Greenland Mines. “This is a transformational asset for Greenland Mines, and we look forward to moving immediately from acquisition to exploration in September.”
The anticipated acquisition closing comes immediately following Greenland Mines’ release of an independent Initial Assessment for Sarfartoq, which demonstrated compelling project economics. Under the high case, the Project has an estimated pre-tax net present value (“NPV”) of approximately $2.05 billion and a pre-tax internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 118.6%, including Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. The Initial Assessment is based entirely on the ST1 deposit, which occupies well under 1% of the 191-square-kilometer Sarfartoq mineral exploration license, with five additional known rare earth occurrences along the approximately 32-kilometer outer ring structure remaining largely untested.
Following closing, Greenland Mines intends to move directly into the next phase of Sarfartoq’s development, including targeted infill drilling, pilot-scale metallurgical test work, mine engineering planning and continued environmental and social baseline studies, advancing the Project toward a Pre-Feasibility Study.

The Company's strategy is centered on building a multi-asset platform with exposure to rare earth magnet materials, precious metals, and select midstream processing opportunities, while advancing its broader North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor vision linking Greenland resources with allied downstream jurisdictions and industrial infrastructure.
