Rift Valley Basin setting

  • Kangerlussuaq Basin, Cretaceous-Paleocene (1km exposed, total thickness unknown)

  • Overlain by plateau basalts, Palaeogene (up to 9km thick)

  • Underlain by gneiss/amphibolite, Archaean

: Project Represents the erosion level between the basement rocks and overlying sedimentary-volcanic sequence

: Triple Junction epicentre (associated with opening of the North Atlantic) and a failed rift

Migration path: For the Icelandic Mantle Plume

: Multiple Intrusions Dykes and sills that intrude the Kangerlussuaq Basin, resulting in sulphide saturation and segregation

RYBERG LOGISTICS

==> picture [65 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [664 x 460] intentionally omitted <==

The Project area is in an area suitable for mining development on the SE Greenland coast-closest point to Iceland (430km).

  • Deep-water fjord , ideal for a port

  • Minimal helicopter support required: Traversable by foot/automobile from the fjord to Longland’s VTEM targets

  • Airstrip can be extended to accommodate larger aircraft (Dash-8)

  • Site : Adjacent to large flat-lying valley with abundant aggregate material – ideal for a production facility

  • Fresh Water : available in 3 x lakes

  • ✓ Not in a National Park or culturally/socially sensitive area

RYBERG MINERALISATION

==> picture [371 x 533] intentionally omitted <==

Mineralisation: Magmatic sulphides, surface samples grade up to:

  • 2.2% copper, 0.8% nickel, 0.1% cobalt, 3.3g/t palladium & 0.2g/t gold

Sulphides: Disseminated interstitial blebs and rounded globules up to ~20cm in diameter including pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite, with palladium and gold minerals

“Globules interpreted to have formed from fractionation of trapped droplets of an immiscible copper and palladium-rich sulphide melt”

: Sulphide Droplets Up to ~20cm diameter - unlikely to survive extensive transport at high flow rates - indicators of proximity to a reworked larger sulphide pool

MESTERSVIG HISTORIC MINE

==> picture [65 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

A total of 545,000 tons of ore @ 9.3% Pb and 9.9% Zn was produced between 1956 and 1962

  • Today this would have a value of ~USD$185M

Underground mining operation of sediment hosted Pb-Zn ore, the historic mine was named ‘Blyklippen’.

Fault-controlled epithermal lead-zinc veins are abundant over some 165 km² in the Mestersvig area.

The mined-out sulphide lens was 2-10m thick, 300m long and 160 m high. It consisted of 65% quartz, 15% sphalerite, 10% galena, 5-10% baryte with trace amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite

MESTERSVIG GEOLOGY

==> picture [65 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [398 x 562] intentionally omitted <==

Local geology is dominated by Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic sediments intruded by Palaeogene dolerite sills and dykes

Towards the south, the area is bordered by the Palaeogene Werner Bjerge alkaline complex, in the west, it is bordered by a major regional fault beyond which is the Caledonian fold belt

A 15-20 km-long, anticlinal fold structure occurs along Mestersvig and Deltadal. Faulting is widespread with the Mestersvig Graben as the most conspicuous structure

MESTERSVIG WORK CONDUCTED

The licence was previously held by Ironbark Zinc Ltd and initially investigated by Nordisk Mineselskab A/S.

15 drill-holes at the Sortebjerg Prospect have identified mineralisation near identical to that at the Mestersvig historic mine, and is aligned along strike. The best drill intersect to date at Sortebjerg is 5.17m @ 18.55% Zn+Pb from 40.0m drilled depth.

There has been no exploratory drilling in-between, a total strike length of 13km.

MESTERSVIG PROPOSED ACTIVITIES

✓ This has the potential to be a very large mineralised system. The objective is to assess whether the mineralisation present at Sortebjerg joins that at Mestersvig. To do so:

✓ Licence-wide high resolution gravity survey to identify the location of lead-zinc

==> picture [651 x 357] intentionally omitted <==

  • ✓ Drilling along strike of Sortebjerg and Mestersvig
