2024 Exploration Update for Strategic
Minerals JV
Amaroq Advances its Strategic Minerals Vision —
Welcoming Dr. Steve Garwin
TORONTO, ONTARIO – May 13, 2025
– Amaroq Minerals Ltd. (AIM, TSXV, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ), an
independent mining company with a substantial land package of gold
and strategic mineral assets in Southern Greenland, is pleased to
provide an update on the 2024 exploration results across the
Company’s strategic minerals portfolio JV, Gardaq AS.
Highlights
General
- Successfully completed an ambitious
exploration programme across seven licences held under the Gardaq
JV. Activities included extensive geological reconnaissance,
mapping of previously unexplored terrain, geochemical sampling, and
5,524m of core drilling across three high-priority projects.
- Gardaq now holds the majority of
the licenses across this prospective belt that hosts South
Greenland’s first Copper Porphyry System at Target West.
- Company has further expanded its
geological understanding of the critical metals hosting across
South Greenland.
- Three new licence applications
across Greenland have been submitted, targeting copper, gold, and
rare/critical earth elements.
- The Company is proud to announce
the appointment of world-renowned porphyry and epithermal
exploration specialist Dr. Steve Garwin as Chief Technical Advisor
- Epithermal & Porphyry Systems to Gardaq.
Stendalen
- Drilling at Stendalen provided key
geological insights into the copper/nickel/cobalt (“Cu/Ni/Co”)
mineralised system, supported by the identification of several
chargeable geophysical features identified post drilling.
- Further sections of Cu/Ni/Co
sulphides have been intersected across all drillholes.
- Although some assay results are
still pending, so far one narrow zone of semi-massive sulphide has
been encountered indicating potential for higher concentrations of
Cu/Ni/Co sulphides still to be discovered.
- Quantitative petrographic analysis
at Stendalen confirmed high copper, nickel, and notably high cobalt
content (up to~10% Co) within sulphides, consistent with a Cu/Ni/Co
geochemical signature.
- Post drilling, a downhole
geophysical survey was conducted, which is now being coupled with
the drilling data, highlighting exciting targets for future
drilling and a better understanding of the Stendalen
structure.
South Greenland Copper Belt
- Ongoing work across the South
Greenland Copper Belt has delineated approximately four new
porphyry/epithermal targets for follow-up work in 2025.
Target North
- Scout drilling at Target North
confirmed the presence of a significant epithermal system. Although
no economic mineralisation was encountered during the scout
drilling at Target North, the confirmation of a well-developed
epithermal system provides compelling evidence of the region’s
broader potential to host Cu-Au epithermal targets.
Johan Dahl Land
- Exploration at the newly acquired
Johan Dahl Land licence led to the discovery of the Ukaleq project,
with impressive grades up to 12.3 g/t Au and 5.1% Cu (as previously
reported1).
Josva
- At Josva, scout drilling expanded
the host structure at the historic mine site.
- Bornite-bearing alteration zones
were intersected, with best grades of 0.35% Cu, 6.0 g/t Ag
(JOS2401) and 0.38% Cu, 5.55 g/t Ag (JOS2402).
- While intersections are currently
considered subeconomic, further work is aimed to delineate further
strike and depth potential.

James Gilbertson, VP Exploration for
Amaroq, commented:
“2024 was a defining year for Amaroq’s strategic
minerals exploration. While not every drill target yielded economic
results, each programme delivered valuable geological insights that
are sharpening our focus on the most promising opportunities. Key
highlights include the discovery of new porphyry and epithermal
systems, confirmation of a cobalt-rich nickel-copper target at
Stendalen, and strong early results at Ukaleq — all reinforcing
South Greenland’s untapped potential.
“We’re also pleased to welcome Dr. Steve Garwin
as Technical Advisor. His global expertise in porphyry and
epithermal systems is already influencing our exploration
strategy.
“With new drill data, geophysics, and assay
results in hand, Amaroq is well positioned to prioritise 2025
follow-up programmes — including potential further drilling at
Stendalen and Ukaleq. These next steps will be key in demonstrating
the value of the Gardaq JV and its contribution to Amaroq’s
strategic growth.”

Initial Review of Exploration
Results
Stendalen
In 2024, while assays are still largely pending
and expected later this quarter, drilling did confirm extensive
Cu/Ni/Co sulphides concentrated throughout the system as well as
along the basal contact of the gabbroic intrusion, supported by
strong conductive signals identified through downhole
electromagnetic surveys (DHEM).
Updated geological models from these drilling
results incorporate fold structures (anticlines, synclines, and
sheathing) that could act as key controls on mineralisation,
particularly near the hypothesised feeder zone to the northwest.
U-Pb zircon dating yielded an age of ~1804 Ma, predating the
Ketilidian orogeny and aligning well with these observed structural
features and deformation phases.
These results provide a number of promising
drill targets and represent a significant step toward advancing
Stendalen.
Further afield from Stendalen, Amaroq is looking
to leverage off the geological and sulphide hosting experienced
gained in the assessment for further identify potential ultramafic
and volcanic-hosted mineralisation.
Copper Belt
In 2024, drilling at Josva tested the depth and
strike extensions of the historic copper-bearing Josva Shear Zone.
While low-grade copper mineralisation (primarily bornite and
chalcopyrite) was intercepted, results were below economic
thresholds, though they expanded understanding of the mineralised
system and its structural controls. Work will now more towards an
assessment of the strike and depth potential away from Josva.

At Target North, scout drilling intersected low-
to intermediate-sulphidation epithermal veins, with evidence of
hydrothermal boiling textures. Although no economic mineralisation
was encountered, the confirmation of a well-developed epithermal
system provides compelling evidence of the region’s broader
potential to host Cu-Au epithermal targets. As such, exploration
focus is now shifting to other regional targets along the belt
where similar geological signatures may be present.
Further exploration across the Copper Belt
identified the Ukaleq target that included gold grades up to 12.3
g/t Au and copper grades reaching 5.1%, indicative of a robust
mineralizing system; as previously reported.
On top of this exploration efforts have
identified at least a further four prospective porphyry/epithermal
targets to be followed up during 2025.
New Licences
The Company has drawn on its geological
expertise to apply for three additional mineral licences, targeting
highly prospective opportunities across Greenland. These include
the tier-one phosphate and critical minerals potential at Gardiner
(East Greenland), the emerging REE and Nb-Ta target at
Illerfissalik, and a potential Kiruna-style IOCG system at Minturn
in northern Greenland.
Sampling and QAQC
Disclosure
Surface Drilling
Drill core was cut in half using a diamond blade
core saw. Cut lines were consistently drawn along the core
foliation axis and the right-hand side of the core was sampled. All
drill core samples were placed into thick polymer bags with a
sample ticket. All samples were prepared at ALS Geochemistry’s
containerised preparation laboratory on-site at Nalunaq, before
being packaged and sent to an accredited laboratory, ALS
Geochemistry, Loughrea, Ireland, for analysis.
At Stendalen - Sample preparation scheme
PREP-31BY was used on all samples. This involves crushing to 70%
under 2 mm, rotary split off 1 kg, and pulverizing the split to
better than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples were then analysed by
50 g fire assay and ICP-MS finish using method PGM-MS24 which has a
low detection limit for Pt, Pd and Au. A second multielement assay
analysis is run for 50 g using method ME-MS61r, where the sample is
digested in 4-acid (perchloric, nitric, hydrofluoric and
hydrochloric acids) and analysed by ICP-AES for all elements and
ICP-MS for high concentration elements.
At Target North and Josva - Sample preparation
scheme PREP-31BY was used on all samples. This involves crushing to
70% under 2 mm, rotary split off 1 kg, and pulverizing the split to
better than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples were then analysed by
50 g fire assay and ICP-AES finish using method Au-ICP2, with
overlimit method Au-GRA22 which has a gravimetric finish. A second
multielement assay analysis is run for 50 g using method ME-MS61r,
where the sample is digested in 4-acid (perchloric, nitric,
hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids) and analysed by ICP-MS for all
elements. Samples were analysed for Si, Ti and Zr using pXRF method
pXRF-34.
Amaroq’s QA/QC program consists of the
systematic insertion of certified reference materials of known base
metal contents, blanks, and quarter core field duplicates at a rate
of 1 in 20 (5%) per QA/QC type. In addition, ALS insert blanks and
standards into the analytical process.
Grab Sampling
Grab samples were collected from outcrops
through the use of geological picks and hammers. Where possible
chip channel samples were collected across the width of the visible
vein. Grab samples were packaged into thick polymer bags with a
sample ticket and reviewed by the Company geological staff prior to
submission.
All grab samples were prepared at ALS
Geochemistry’s containerised preparation laboratory on-site at
Nalunaq, before being packaged and sent to an accredited
laboratory, ALS Geochemistry, Loughrea, Ireland, for analysis. As
with drill the surface drill core, samples underwent preparation
scheme PREP-31BY. This involves crushing to 70% under 2 mm, rotary
split off 1 kg, and pulverizing the split to better than 85%
passing 75 microns. Samples were then analysed by 50 g fire assay
with method Au-AA26 which has a detection limit of 0.01 ppm Au.
Samples containing visible gold and samples considered to be the
Main Vein were assayed with screen-metallics fire assay technique
Au-SCR24 which has a detection limit of 0.05 ppm Au. This involves
screening 1 kg of pulverised sample to 106 microns followed by a
gravimetric assay of the entire plus fraction and a duplicate 50 g
AAS assay of the minus fraction.
Grab sample QAQC procedures consisted of the
systematic insertion of certified reference materials of known gold
content, blanks, and field duplicates at a rate of 1 in 20 or 5%
per QA/QC type. In addition, ALS insert blanks and standards into
the analytical process.
