## Minestarters Atlas summary

Greenland Mines Ltd. released a sensitivity analysis on its Skaergaard Project, demonstrating that high metal prices could result in a 45-55% grade uplift for its existing 2022 Mineral Resource. The project is a large-scale Pd-Au-Pt deposit, though no formal economic studies \(PEA, PFS, or DFS\) have been completed to date.

Reasoning: The document discusses a sensitivity analysis on an existing 2022 Mineral Resource, showing significant grade uplift under high-price scenarios, but explicitly states these are not new resource estimates or economic studies.

- Positive factor: Large scale Pd-Au-Pt deposit

- Positive factor: High-price sensitivity case shows significant grade uplift

- Positive factor: Qualified Person \(SLR Consulting\) involved in sensitivity work

- Negative factor: Results are sensitivity analysis, not a new MRE or economic study

- Negative factor: No PEA, PFS, or DFS completed

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The 2022 resource includes an Inferred category which is speculative.

Evidence · text

> hosts 25.4 Moz palladium-equivalent and 23.5 Moz gold-equivalent across the combined Indicated and Inferred categories

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: SLR Consulting is identified as the Qualified Person firm that authored the 2022 report and conducted the sensitivity analysis.

Evidence · text

> supported by SLR Consulting \(Qualified Person\)

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is &gt;2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: The resource being analyzed is from a 2022 NI 43-101 report, which is over 2 years old relative to the 2026 publication date.

Evidence · text

> The 2022 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource on Skaergaard

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
