I highlight ths para too, which ordinarily might have attracted some comment, on new business lines and opportunities. It went from my mind during the day when the price went down instead of up!
“Corporate strategy and business modelAlongside the Company’s focus on its two key pillars of mining development and exploration, Amaroq Minerals is also actively pursuing two further, value accretive business lines, which will complement the Company’s existing operations and enhance the ability to drive further cashflow opportunities from the asset base:
Services and logistics - Amaroq continues to develop opportunities in support of its operations in Greenland. Given the working environment and physical access to the mine and plant, the Company has been pursuing a strategy to de-risk mining activities through the procurement and operation of proprietary servicing and logistics infrastructure, such as drilling rigs, marine equipment and camp facilities. During 2025, it is anticipated that other mining and infrastructure operators within the region will look to utilise this provision of Amaroq’s equipment and services, generating additional revenue.Renewable energy generation – Power generation and energy provision are one of the largest, most expensive and polluting cost items within remote mining operations. The Company is committed to harnessing the Nordic region's abundant renewable energy resources to support its mining activities. In order to de-risk the future life of mine at Nalunaq, whilst at the same time investing in technologies to power the future mines, the Company will be conducting a pre-Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for the construction of at least one mega watt (“MW”) of hydro power within close proximity of Nalunaq. Once the FEED studies are completed, it is anticipated that construction work could commence, and power generation will occur in 2026.Geopolitics – Greenland’s resource potential and proximity to the world's largest markets for commodities has attracted a heightened level of political, as well as media interest. In terms of the geopolitical interest in Greenland; by the end of the period, the US had elected a new president who had publicly declared his intentions of engaging more with Greenland as a resources province. The practicalities of this heightened geopolitical interest, is that the Company is actively pursuing multiple opportunities, to leverage the increased interest and focus on Greenland and the companies who are active in the province.Listing– As previously communicated, in 2025 Amaroq is considering upgrading one of its junior listings onto a main market of an international stock exchange, in order to access further market liquidity and broader investor base. However, there can be no certainty in regard to timing or promotion of any such undertaking and further details will be shared with the market as appropriate.”
