Greenland Resources Announces Proposed Sale of Copenhagen Minerals Inc. and the Storø Gold Project


TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenland Resources Inc. (“Greenland Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding share purchase agreement with Cryptologic Corp. (CSE:CRY) (“Cryptologic”) on January 27, 2021 to sell 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Copenhagen Minerals Inc. (“Copenhagen”), which owns the Storø Gold Project, located in south west Greenland (the “Transaction”).

Management believes the Transaction will create value to Greenland Resources shareholders, will allow the Company to focus on its flagship world class Malmbjerg molybdenum project in east central Greenland and will help advance the Storø Gold Project.

About the Storø Gold Project

The Storø Gold Project is located some 40 km northeast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. It is located on the 12 km2 mineral exploration License No. 2014/11 and hosts an inferred mineral resource of 885,000 tonnes at a grade of 3.4 g/t gold. The Storø Gold Project is devoid of vegetation and overburden, which facilitates exploration and enjoys year-round property access for eventual mining and ice-free shipping. In addition, there is a second larger 540 km2 mineral exploration License No. 2021-01 surrounding License No. 2014/11, where a recent satellite-based spectral analysis survey outlined numerous other Storø-type exploration targets. As well, Copenhagen owns a mineral prospecting License No. 2020-62 covering the entire eastern third of Greenland. Metallurgical studies undertaken by SGS Ltd in Lakefield, Ontario show recoveries of between 91.5% and 94.8% from gravitational separation/cyanide leach. Selected intersections of the Storø Gold Project include 4.11 g/t gold over 14.03m in DDH 15-03; 20.0m of 6.30 g/t gold in DDH 95-03; 12.0m of 4.20 g/t in DDH 05-01; 23.9m of 6.40 g/t gold in DDH 95-05; and 28.8m of 6.74 g/t gold in DDH 10-54.

Terms of the Transaction

Under the Transaction, Cryptologic will pay $0.25 million in cash and issue 37.6 million common shares of Cryptologic at a deemed issue price of $0.24 per share (the “Consideration Shares”). Pursuant to an agreement with a resource structuring group, there is a right to receive a portion of the Consideration Shares and recruit a new management team for the the Storø Gold Project. It is expected that Greenland Resources will own 26% of Cryptologic upon closing and have board representation. Cryptologic currently has around $7.6 million of cash on hand.
