Greenland Mines Reports Up To 45% – 55% Increase in Palladium Equivalent (PdEq) Grades at Skaergaard in Sensitivity Study
PR Newswire
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 7, 2026
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenland Mines Ltd (“Greenland Mines” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GRML) reports the results of an independent metal price sensitivity analysis completed by SLR Consulting (“SLR”) on the Company’s Skaergaard Project in East Greenland.
The analysis applies updated palladium, gold, and platinum price assumptions to the existing 2022 underground-constrained Mineral Resource model to evaluate the effect of higher metal prices on equivalent grades and contained Palladium Equivalent (“PdEq”) metal. This analysis presents the upside strictly as a metal price sensitivity exercise, and not as an updated Mineral Resource estimate.
The SLR high‑price sensitivity case indicates 16.58 Moz PdEq Indicated and 21.92 Moz PdEq Inferred, with average PdEq grades increasing by 45% (Indicated) and 55% (Inferred) versus its former 2022 base case.
In the low and medium cases, total PdEq content also increases compared to the 2022 base-case PdEq estimate, while maintaining the same geologic model, drill database, and classification criteria.

Notes:
- Not Mineral Resources. To be viewed only as a metal price sensitivity exercise.
- All parameters except metal prices and metal equivalent conversion factors were held constant from the historical 2022 Mineral Resource. Please refer to the footnotes in the 2022 Technical Report for details.
- Low sensitivity case assumes metal prices of US$1,725/oz Pd, US$3,000/oz Au, and US$2,100/oz Pt.
- Medium sensitivity case assumes metal prices of US$1,725/oz Pd, US$3,500/oz Au, and US$2,100/oz Pt.
- High sensitivity case assumes metal prices of US$1,800/oz Pd, US$5,000/oz Au, and US$2,175/oz Pt.
- Bulk density is 3.12 t/m3.
- Totals may differ due to rounding.
SLR’s work does not change the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate, which remains constrained by an underground mining scenario as set out in the November 22, 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report on Skaergaard. The sensitivity exercise only updates metal price assumptions and recalculates PdEq grades and contained metal for blocks within the existing 2022 underground resource shapes, holding all other parameters constant.
Bo Møller Stensgaard, President of Greenland Mines Ltd., commented:
“The SLR sensitivity work crystallizes what makes Skaergaard so compelling. On the same conservative 2022 block model, simply applying a more gold-bullish long-term price deck takes the combined Pd-Au-Pt expression up by approximately 50%, with strong equivalent grade uplift in both the Indicated and Inferred categories. That is the kind of scale and price leverage that long-term institutional and strategic stakeholders and partners are looking for in the next generation of precious- and critical-metal projects.
“At the same time, we are very clear that this is a metal price sensitivity exercise on our existing 2022 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource, not a new resource estimate, and we are doing the hard work needed to convert optionality into value. That includes testing the mining method itself: as recommended by SLR in the 2022 Technical Report, our 2026 program will start to evaluate open-pit and bulk-mining scenarios alongside underground concepts, supported by proper geotechnical, geophysical and topographic data. With SLR as our independent geological consultant and Qualified Person, GTK Mintec driving metallurgy and pilot-plant work, WSP driving the environmental baseline study, a fully funded 2026 field, drill and bulk-sample campaign this summer, and our North Atlantic low-carbon processing strategy, we see Skaergaard increasingly as a future operation in the making, with mine method and metal prices acting as levers on what is already a very large Pd-Au-Pt and critical-metals system.”
Metal Price Sensitivity Summary
Table 1 above summarizes SLR’s PdEq metal price sensitivity results for the 2022 underground-constrained resource model, by classification and sensitivity case.
SLR constructed three 2026 metal-price scenarios – Low, Medium and High – around the original 2022 price set, using long-term metal price forecasts as a base case and adding upside cases in light of recent strength and volatility in the gold market. For each case, SLR:
- Kept the underlying 2022 Skaergaard block model, tonnages, geometry, cut-off grade (1.43 g/t PdEq), classification, and technical assumptions unchanged.
- Applied only different metal price assumptions and recalculated equivalent grades and contained metal in PdEq terms for the existing Indicated and Inferred material.
The 2026 metal-price used are given in Table 2 here below.

The 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate for Skaergaard referenced in this news release is taken from the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “Technical Report on the Skaergaard Project, Southeastern Greenland”, prepared by SLR Consulting Canada Ltd. with an effective date of November 22, 2022 and signed November 30, 2022, with Philip A. Geusebroek, M.Sc., P.Geo., as Qualified Person.
Availability of SLR memo & 2022 NI 43-101 Report
The full SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. memo titled “Skaergaard 2022 Mineral Resource – Metal Price Sensitivity for 2026” and the November 22, 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Skaergaard Project are available on Greenland Mines’ website in the Investors / Reports section and should be read in conjunction with this news release.
Cautionary Notes
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The sensitivity cases presented in this news release are conceptual in nature and are not Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates. They are based on the 2022 underground-constrained resource model and are intended only to illustrate the impact of changing metal prices on PdEq grades and contained PdEq metal, assuming the same mining constraint and input parameters used in the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate. The underlying 2022 block model, tonnages, geometry, cut-off grade (1.43 g/t PdEq), classification and technical assumptions are unchanged in all sensitivity cases. No new mine plan, production schedule, capital or operating cost estimate, or economic analysis has been prepared in connection with this sensitivity work. There can be no assurance that future metal prices, operating conditions or technical outcomes will align with any of the sensitivity scenarios modelled by SLR. Investors should therefore not treat the sensitivity outputs as standalone Mineral Resource or Reserve figures, but rather as illustrative of Skaergaard’s leverage to different long term metal price environments.
