EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
GENERAL BUSINESS
1. RESOLUTION 1 – SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT FOR THE SETTLEMENT DEEDS (NONBINDING)
On 15 August 2011 the Company announced that it had settled all disputes with Westrip Holdings Limited (" Westrip "), the shareholders of Westrip and others in relation to the Kvanefjeld Project. Under the terms of the settlement the Company will acquire the outstanding 39% interest in the Kvanefjeld Project (so that it will own 100% of the Kvanefjeld Project).
The settlement of all outstanding disputes with Westrip and the termination of the Joint Venture Agreement represent a very significant step in the development of the Kvanefjeld Project. Firstly, the settlement removes a degree of uncertainty any litigation creates and, secondly, allows the consolidation of the entire Kvanefjeld Project for considerably less than the total of $60 million stipulated under the options in the Joint Venture Agreement.
The Company puts Resolution 1 to the Shareholders on an advisory and non-binding basis. The purpose of Resolution 1 is to give Shareholders an opportunity to express their support of the Company’s action in executing and implementing the Settlement Deeds. Outlined below is information regarding the Settlement Deeds for the purposes of this Resolution. There is no legal or regulatory requirement for the Company to put Resolution 1 to Shareholders.
In the event that Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will proceed with its obligations under the terms of the Settlement Deeds as it has already entered into legally binding commitments. It is only resolution 2 that is required to be passed for the purposes of the Settlement Deeds.
1.1
Background
The Company currently holds a 61% interest in the Kvanefjeld Project through its subsidiary Greenland Minerals and Energy (Trading) A/S (" GME "). GME holds the exploration licence EL 2010/02 over the northern Ilimaussaq complex in Greenland that comprises the Kvanefjeld Project.
Westrip holds the remaining 39% interest in GME. The Company and Westrip have a joint venture to carry out exploration and evaluation of the Kvanefjeld Project.
Since 2009 there have been several disputes involving the Company, Westrip, the shareholders of Westrip and Rimbal in relation to the joint venture and ownership of the Kvanefjeld licence. Litigation proceedings have been commenced in Western Australia, the
Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 5
United Kingdom and Greenland, which the Company has previously reported upon to Shareholders.
The parties involved in the disputes have agreed to settle all claims between them and dismiss the legal proceedings on the terms set out in two deeds of settlement (together the " Settlement Deeds "). The purpose of the settlement is to end the uncertainty caused by the protracted litigation between the parties, to avoid further litigation and to foster the ongoing development of the Kvanefjeld Project.
1.2 Deed of Settlement with Westrip
The Company has entered into a Deed of Settlement with GME, Westrip, the Westrip Shareholders, Rimbal and Horrocks Enterprises Pty Limited (" Westrip Deed "). Under this deed, the parties agree to settle the Dispute and the Proceedings and to release all conceivable claims against each other in respect of the subject matter of the Dispute without any admission of fault or liability by any party whatsoever.
The Westrip Deed provides for the following matters on settlement, insofar as it affects the Company:
-
(a) The Company must pay the sum of $33,000,000 to Rimbal. The Company has paid a deposit of $5,000,000, which is held in an escrow account pending settlement.
-
(b) The Company will receive a transfer of legal and beneficial title to the remaining 39% interest in GME shares and any Westrip nominees on the board of directors of GME will resign.
-
(c) Westrip, Rimbal and the Company agree that the joint venture is terminated without any liability on the parties.
-
(d) Westrip will transfer all of its GGG Shares to Rimbal and the Company will cause Rimbal to be registered as a Shareholder.
-
(e) The Proceedings will be dismissed with no orders as to costs.
Settlement of the Westrip Deed is conditional on the Company receiving Shareholder approval required for the transactions provided for in the Westrip Deed (see Resolution 2); the Company and Rimbal receiving any regulatory approval required by law in Australia or Greenland for the transactions provided for in the Westrip Deed and the Company securing finance sufficient to fund its payment obligations at settlement. If the Company does not use all reasonable endeavours to satisfy these conditions, then the Company is required to pay the deposit in full ($5,000,000) to Rimbal. If Rimbal and/or Westrip do not use their best endeavours to meet these conditions then the Company is entitled to a refund of the deposit.
The Company is obliged to secure finance within 90 days after Shareholder approval is obtained. Settlement is to occur within 5 months of execution of the Westrip Deed.
The Westrip Deed gives the Company rights to terminate the agreement in the event that the either of the Dow Jones Industrial Index closes below 10,500 points or the ASX All Ordinaries Index closes below 3,750 points for 5 consecutive trading days.
If settlement of the Westrip Deed does not occur on the settlement date by reason of the sole default of the Company or GME then the Company must pay the sum of $2,500,000 from the deposit (plus accrued interest) to Rimbal. The balance of the deposit is to be returned to the Company and Rimbal is entitled to either terminate the deed or affirm the deed and require
Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
Page 6
performance of the obligation of the Company and/or GME with interest to accrue on the settlement sum (as remains unpaid) at the rate of 2% per annum over the Reserve Bank of Australia reference rate from the settlement date until the date of payment.
If settlement of the Westrip Deed does not occur on the settlement date by reason of any default of Rimbal or Westrip, then the Company is entitled to the return of its deposit and may terminate the deed or affirm the deed and require performance of the obligations of Rimbal and/or Westrip.
1.3 Deed of Settlement with the Westrip Minority Shareholders
The Company has entered into a Deed of Settlement with the Westrip Minority Shareholders whereby the Company has agreed to pay the following money and issue Shares and Options to the Westrip Minority Shareholders as part of the global settlement of the Dispute (" Minorities Deed "):
-
(a) The Company will pay the sum of $6,000,000. This sum is to be paid to each of the Westrip Minority Shareholders in proportion to their holding of shares in Westrip. The Company has paid a non-refundable deposit of $600,000 towards this obligation.
-
(b) The Company must issue a total of 7,825,000 Shares. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to issue these Shares.
-
(c) The Company must issue a total of 5,000,000 Options. The Options have an exercise price of $1.50 each and may be exercised at any time within 2 years of the date of issue. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to issue these Options.
Under the Minorities Deed, the parties agree to settle all issues in relation to the Dispute and any possible claim against each other and release and discharge each other party from any legal or other liability or responsibility arising in relation to the Dispute.
Settlement of the Minorities Deed is conditional on the Company obtaining any necessary Shareholder and/or regulatory approval for the transactions provided for in the Minorities Deed; the parties entering into the Westrip Deed and the Company securing finance acceptable to the Company to complete the payments required upon settlement of the Settlement Deeds.
Further, each part of the transaction comprising the Minorities Deed is conditional upon settlement under both Settlement Deeds.
1.4
Off-take Agreement
The Company has entered into an agreement with Rimbal where it has been granted the exclusive right to acquire all the black lujavrite from Greenland Exploration Licence No. 200510/249 registered in the name of Rimbal and has further agreed offtake terms. This licence is located immediately to the south of Greenland Exploration Licence No. 2010/02.
1.5
Recommendation
The Directors believe that the Settlement Deeds are in the best interests of all Shareholders and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
By the Settlement Deeds the Company must pay a total of $39,000,000. A $5,000,000 deposit has already been paid. The Company is obliged to secure finance to fund its payment obligations within 90 days after Shareholder approval is obtained by this Notice. The Company

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that a company must not during any 12 month period issue equity securities if the number of securities exceeds 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the previous 12 month period. By obtaining Shareholder approval, the number of Shares and Options that are issued to the Westrip Minority Shareholders are not included in the 15% calculation under Listing Rule 7.1.
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1:
-
(a) The maximum number of securities to be issued is 7,825,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Options.

-
(f) The Shares and Options are issued under the terms of the Minorities Deed. No funds will be raised by the issue of these securities.
-
(g) It is intended that Shares and Options will be allotted on one date.

The terms of the Options are:
-
Each Option entitles the holder to one Share.

-
Upon the exercise of an Option and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, the holder in accordance with paragraph 5 will be allotted and issued a Share ranking pari passu with the then issued Shares.
-
There will be no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options.
