TORONTO - Amaroq Minerals Ltd. (AIM:AMRQ)(TSXV:AMRQ)(NASDAQ:AMRQ), an independent mine development company with a substantial land package of gold and strategic mineral assets covering an area of 7,866.85 km2 in Southern Greenland, is pleased to provide details of its 2022 Sava project exploration results.

Highlights

Surface exploration was conducted across three target areas within the Sava licence, including the drilling of two scout drillholes, to inform target generation and provide further geological information on the area

Results suggest a potentially large iron oxide, copper gold (IOCG) mineral system, in line with the Company's initial 2021 assessment of the area, and produced high-quality samples with copper, gold, silver and molybdenum mineralisation

One of the scout drillholes intersected 21 meters of elevated copper grades at surface, in addition to evidence of IOCG style mineralisation

Samples also demonstrated elevated levels of Molybdenum (Mo), a valuable element used in metal alloys, as well as Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag), Lead (Pb), Iron (Fe) and Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE)

Mineralised breccia zone, typical for IOCG deposits, identified over a kilometre with grades of up to 0.46% Cu, 4.35g/t Au and 40.9g/t Ag

Exploration results from Amaroq's new Kobberminebugt licence, expected in the next few weeks, and more analyses to evidence the scale of this new emerging copper/IOCG belt in south Greenland

Up to 7.86% Molybdenum recorded in surface sampling, more than twice the grade of the highest grade molybdenum mine globally

Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq, commented:

'I am delighted to announce to the market today that our 2022 exploration programme at Sava, which was only designed as early stage reconnaissance, has identified copper, gold, silver and molybdenum IOCG style mineralisation across three sites. These results confirm that Amaroq holds a significant licence area covering a large scale, highly prospective strategic metals belt.

'The potential for Greenland to supply strategic energy transition minerals is highly significant for Western Governments and companies to reach their decarbonisation targets and secure supply. These results will cast no doubt on the opportunity and the recently announced JV deal with GCAM gives us the financial resources needed to conduct a thorough exploration programme going forward with the aim of making large scale discoveries across our strategic mineral portfolio.'

Discussion on Results

The Sava licence, acquired by Amaroq in early 2021, is located alongside the significant Ilimaussaq complex (part of the Gardar Province) which hosts the Kvanefjeld and Tanbreez deposits, which collectively host an estimated 1.5% of global Rare Earths Element resources.

Initial assessment of the Sava licence in 2021 suggested the potential for IOCG mineralisation. Since acquisition, the Company has conducted significant mineral system modelling, which demonstrates geodynamic association between the Sava and Gardar areas and the Voisey's Bay province in Canada, which host significant magmatic sulphide and rare earth element (REE) deposits.

The mineral system modelling supports the Company's belief that the Sava licence sits within a newly identified copper belt striking ~200km along a major deep-seated structure running from the Company's Kobberminebugt licence and eastward to the North Sava licence.

Amaroq has conducted surface exploration across three targets in 2022 (Target North, Target South and Target West) and two shallow scout drillholes into the two more developed target areas (Target West and Target South). The aim of this programme was to gather further geological data to inform target generation and the identification of geological style rather than target specific mineralisation.
