Eldur Olafsson, forstjóri Amaroq:
„Nú þegar við nálgumst lok ársins 2025 vil ég leggja áherslu á þann mikla árangur sem náðst hefur í Nalunaq-námunni á árinu, allt frá fyrstu gullsteypun í nóvember 2024. Ég er afar stoltur af þeirri vinnu sem Amaroq-teymið og verktakar okkar hafa unnið. Áður en áætluð tímabundin stöðvun verksmiðjunnar hófst í október 2025 hafði gullframleiðslan þegar náð 5.000 únsum sem var í samræmi við uppfærðar áætlanir okkar fyrir árið í heild. Nú þegar verksmiðjan er komin aftur í rekstur gerum við ráð fyrir að heildarframleiðsla gulls á þessu ári verði á bilinu 6.000–7.000 únsur.
Á þriðja ársfjórðungi breyttum við rekstrarfyrirkomulaginu í Nalunaq og hefur Amaroq nú tekið alfarið yfir rekstur námunnar. Við höfum ráðið öflugt og reynslumikið teymi til að stýra bæði námuvinnslu og framleiðslu, og var tímabundinni stöðvun verksmiðjunnar lokið innan tíma- og fjárhagsáætlunar. Framkvæmdir við annan áfanga, þ.e. uppsetningu skilju, gengur samkvæmt áætlun, sem gert er ráð fyrir að ljúki á fyrsta ársfjórðungi 2026, með áætluðum kostnaði upp á C$6,5 milljónir. Megináhersla okkar nú er að ná fullri vinnslugetu fyrir árslok og hámarka gullframleiðslu og fjárstreymi á árinu 2026.
Utan gullvinnslunnar höfum við haldið áfram að þróa aðrar eignir. Sérstaklega ber að nefna fund sjaldgæfra jarðmálma á Nunarsuit-leyfissvæðinu, auk áhugaverðra kopar- og gullfunda í nágrenni Nalunaq-námunnar. Í nóvember 2025 birtum við jafnframt spennandi niðurstöður frá Black Angel-námunni, sem staðfestu ekki aðeins hátt innihald sinks, blýs og silfurs, heldur bentu einnig til mögulegs arðbærs magns af germanium, gallíum og kadmíum, málma sem flokkaðir eru sem krítískir málmar og munu skapa spennandi tækifæri í tengslum við fyrirhugaða enduruppbyggingu Black Angel námunnar.
Horfandi fram á við, þá erum við að ljúka síðasta áfanga fjárfestinga í Nalunaq, með lok framkvæmda og gangsetningu framleiðslu á öðrum ársfjórðungi 2026. Þá væntum við niðurstaðna úr gullrannsóknum ársins 2025 í Nanoq og í Nalunaq á komandi vikum. Amaroq stendur á traustum grunni og við förum inn í næsta ár með sterka fjárhagsstöðu, öfluga framleiðslu og fjölda verkefna sem munu skapa varanleg verðmæti og fjölbreytt tækifæri til framtíðar, sem fjármögnuð verða með jákvæðu fjárstreymi frá Nalunaq.“
Q3 2025 Financial and Corporate Highlights
- Total revenue of $12.8 million (2024: $0m) from total gold sales of 2,636 ounces. In the first three quarters, the Company produced 4,347 ounces and sold 3,360 ounces of gold for gross proceeds of $16.3 million.
- Gross profit of $5.9 million and Operating loss of $3.8 million, after taking into account G&A and exploration and evaluation expenses – mainly attributable to the Nanoq exploration campaign.
- Amaroq group liquidity of $45.4 million at period end, consisting of cash balances of $55.3 million, an undrawn revolving credit facility of $8.9 million less trade payables of $18.8 million ($75.0 million as at 30 June 2025).
- On 1 July 2025, Amaroq commenced trading on the OTCQX, enabling higher transparency and trading opportunities for investors in the U.S.
Q3 2025 Operational Highlights
- Q3 2025 gold production of 3,536 oz. Gold produced in the nine months to the end of September was 4,347 oz.
- As announced on 7 October, production increased further post quarter end, reaching this year’s production target of approximately 5,000 oz.
- During Q3 2025, commissioning of the processing plant and ramp-up of mining operations at Nalunaq continued to deliver steady improvements and the Company remains on track to achieve nameplate throughput of 300 t/d by year-end 2025.
- Throughout the quarter, the Company progressed with the installation of numerous key items and infrastructure at Nalunaq, including the tailings filter structure, slurry tanks and filter press, fresh & process water tanks, flocculant skid, plant air compressors, plant piping to design, control room structure, permanent electrical trays, cables and connections and instrumentation and control systems.
- On 1 October 2025, Amaroq transitioned to an owner-operated mining model, enabling improved operational efficiency and cost control. A transitional cooperation with the mining contractor will continue beyond October 1, 2025. In addition, Nalunaq has entered into a partnership with a Canadian equipment supplier to invest in its own mining fleet.
Q3 2025 Portfolio Highlights
- At Nalunaq, four of the planned seven surface drillholes targeting the South Block Deeps were completed before the programme was paused until later in the year. All core was logged, sampled, and submitted for chemical assay. Underground drilling also recommenced with the deployment of a new drill rig under a hire-purchase agreement. This drilling is providing grade control and resource definition data to support short- to medium-term mine planning.
- At Nanoq, core drilling commenced in early August 2025 utilising three Company-owned rigs. The campaign was completed on 24 September 2025, with a total of 4,806.9 metres drilled. By the end of the reporting period, approximately 60% of the core had been logged and sampled. Preparations for winterisation and equipment storage at site were also finalised.
- Fieldwork on the Stendalen Cu-Ni target was conducted from the Nanoq exploration base. This programme followed on from the 2024 drilling and geophysical studies, with the objective of improving geological understanding and defining controls to mineralisation in advance of potential follow-up drilling in 2026.
- Strategic exploration also advanced across Amaroq’s wider licence portfolio. The final programme of the season comprised a short reconnaissance campaign over the Minturn IOCG (Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold) target in Northern Greenland.
- Following the announcement of the Black Angel and Kangerluarsuk licence acquisitions, and during the process of finalising these, Amaroq undertook a series of reconnaissance site visits and commenced re-assaying of selected historical bulk samples. These activities, combined with the ongoing collation and review of historical datasets, will form the basis for detailed forward-looking exploration and development plans for both assets.
- The majority of the assay results from these programmes are expected through Q4 2025.
Post Period Highlights
- On 17 October 2025, Amaroq announced the launch of Single Mine Origin gold sales from its Nalunaq mine in Greenland, making fully traceable, responsibly sourced gold available exclusively to Greenlandic residents.
- On 21 October 2025, Amaroq announced the simplification and streamlining of its securities under a single ISIN, with Icelandic Depositary Receipts (IDRs) being converted into Depositary Interests (DIs) to unify cross-border settlement and administration while maintaining trading continuity on Nasdaq Iceland.
- On 28 October 2025, the Company announced multiple new high-grade gold discoveries across Greenland, from Vagar, Anoritooq, Ippatit, Tartoq and Grænseland, including samples grading up to 38.7 g/t Au.
- On 4 November 2025, the Company announced the initial identification of conventional rare earth element bearing mineralisation within its Nunarsuit mineral licence area in South Greenland.
- On 11 November 2025, Amaroq announced results from re-assayed bulk samples from the Black Angel mine, as well as the fulfilment of all conditions precedent (“CPs”) in relation to the previously announced acquisition of the Black Angel mine. The re-assayed bulk sample material from within the Black Angel deposit confirms the high-grade nature of the mineralisation, averaging 24.6% zinc, 28.1% lead and 295 g/t silver. Commercial levels of germanium (44 ppm) and gallium (21 ppm) and cadmium (1,328 ppm) also identified; adding significant value to the future project from these critical minerals, two of which are on the EU and US Government critical mineral list. The West Greenland Hub will be 100% owned by Amaroq, separate from the Gardaq JV (Amaroq 51%), which will continue to focus on early-stage exploration activities. The Company also confirmed that Black Angel will be advanced as a standalone mining development project and new hub for the Company.
- Planned shutdown for commissioning activities commenced in October 2025 and were completed on 14 November 2025 in line with expectations. Following the shutdown, completion of Phase 1 works and all critical path items for the delivery of Phase 2 are on schedule to be in place during Q1 2026.
Outlook
- The Phase 2 construction at Nalunaq will take place inside the plant and is anticipated to continue until the end of Q1 2026, allowing the commissioning of the flotation circuit immediately thereafter.
- With the shutdown period now complete, and following the restart of operations, management expects 2025 full year gold production to be 6,000 to 7,000 oz.
