Greenland Resources Inc. has entered into a Financial Sustainability Agreement with EIT RawMaterials GmbH, securing €500,000 in EU-backed funding to advance innovative magnesium extraction at its Malmbjerg molybdenum project in Greenland. The funding, provided through Horizon Europe, will support testing of magnesium recovery from saline process water—an initiative aligned with the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act, as magnesium remains one of Europe’s most import-reliant minerals.
The company also plans a non-brokered private placement of up to 112,122 common shares at $1.65 each, raising approximately $185,000. The offering, pending Cboe approval, is expected to close around November 20, 2025. Greenland Resources has applied for additional Horizon Europe–supported programs, aiming to cover a substantial portion of the project’s equity capex.
Under the agreement, EIT RawMaterials will invest through Greenland Resources’ subsidiary in Greenland, with securities convertible into company shares via put and call options exercisable within six months. At least €375,000 of the funding will be advanced immediately, with the remainder contingent upon final project reporting and approval.
The Initial Conversion, tied to the offering’s expected closing date, would see EIT RawMaterials receive up to 493,939 shares at $1.65, depending on the final amount of Initial Funds disbursed. Any later conversion of Remaining Funds would be priced at the 20-day volume-weighted average, subject to a minimum of $1.65 per share.
EIT RawMaterials CEO Bernd Schäfer emphasized Europe’s pressing need to secure magnesium supplies, noting that China currently produces nearly all of the EU’s consumption. He said the investment supports innovative, low-carbon production pathways vital for European industry and defence sectors.
Greenland Resources Executive Chairman Ruben Shiffman said the funding sets an important precedent for future EU strategic investments, demonstrating that public European financing can be deployed through the company’s Greenland subsidiary and converted into its Canadian-listed parent entity.
The Malmbjerg project, which received a 30-year exploitation licence in June 2025, contains both molybdenum and magnesium. The project’s design focuses on low environmental impact, with high-grade molybdenum expected to supply up to 25% of the EU’s annual consumption and fully meet its defence needs during the first decade of production. Magnesium recovery from saline water is being incorporated into updated feasibility economics.
With China dominating global production of both molybdenum and magnesium, the EU views long-term supply diversification as essential. The Malmbjerg project, supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance, is positioned as a key strategic source for Europe’s green, industrial, and defence sectors.
