Box 130, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4, Canada. The Corporation operates in one industry segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. It owns interests in properties located in Greenland.

Amaroq is in the process of restarting the cornerstone Nalunaq mine and construction of a processing plant as the means to become self- funded, unlock the true mineral potential of its large licence holdings in Greenland and deliver significant value to all stakeholders. The Corporation is actively exploring what we believe to be world class gold deposits in Vagar and Nanoq and through the joint venture with GCAM (the "Joint Venture" or "JV"), will expand its focus on exploring for strategic minerals in Sava, Stendalen, Paatusoq and Kobberminebugt to potentially fill the growing supply gap.

  • o A further 8,000 line Km of geophysics over regional, Sava and Nunarsuit targets have been completed.

  • Site development costs of $2,515,743 ($nil in 2022) represents cost of Nalunaq Project processing plant related engineering, project and construction management costs incurred before September 1, 2023- the date when the Corporation declared Technical Feasibility and Commercial Viability of Nalunaq Project. All site development costs September 1,2023 onwards were capitalized to Construction in Progress within Capital Assets and Nalunaq development costs for twelve months of 2023 totaled $25,761,155 ($nil in 2022).

  • General and administrative costs of $13,631,912 ($10,150,020 in 2022).

    • o Salaries and benefits of $4,311,610 ($3,188,032 in 2022). Salaries and benefits are expected to increase over the next couple of quarters as manpower is increased to complete the construction of the processing plant, manage on-site stores and warehousing, coordinate site rotations and logistics and collection of ESG related data.

    • o Stock-based compensation of $1,908,303 ($2,046,342 in 2022). The Corporation has implemented a Restricted Share Unit Plan ("RSU") to incentivize delivery of the exceptional shareholder returns over the longer-term and to align the interests of Senior Executives with those of shareholders. Under the RSU, participants share in a ''RSU pool'' of up to 10% in excess of the growth in the Corporation's value. The Corporation's value for purposes of the ''RSU pool'' is determined using a hurdle rate of 10% pa over a performance period commencing on January 1, 2022. Part of the RSU pool will be reserved for future participants. Growth in value is based on the change in share price, with an adjustment for any dividends paid during the period (to the extent such distributions are made), based on the same number of shares in issue at the start of the performance period. Awards were granted to participants on December 31, 2022 and October 13, 2023. $1,856,000 recorded in twelve months ended December 31, 2023 represents the recognition of the twelve-month expense based on the fair valuation of the RSU pool for current participants. Further details on the RSU description and valuation are provided under Note 12 of December 31, 2023, Financial Statements.

  • Professional fees of $3,298,134 ($2,258,660 in 2022). Professional fees mainly represent legal fees to finalize the GCAM Joint Venture as well as transaction fees associated with finalizing Nasdaq Main Market listing in Iceland. The Corporation's shares commenced trading on the Main Market on September 21, 2023.

  • Investor Relations and Communication of $713,161 ($598,447 in 2022) is slightly higher than for the same period of 2022 mainly driven by increased interaction with investors on the development of Nalunaq.

  • Insurance of $289,042 ($341,793 in 2022). The reduction in insurance is mainly due to the reduction in D&O insurance by $109k, offset by an increase in general liability insurance of $57k.

  • Travel and other expenses of $1,383,767 ($746,180 in 2022). The increase in expenses in twelve months of 2023 is mainly due to higher travel costs associated with analyst and Board site visits to Nalunaq.

  • Regulatory fees of $953,521 ($212,939 in 2022). The increase in costs reflect the third listing by the Corporation together with the subsequent upgrade from the Nasdaq First North Growth listing to the Main Market as well as the associated market making fees in Iceland for the twelve months of 2023.

  • Foreign exchange gain of $306,706 (gain of $849,773 in 2022) is mainly explained by the effects of exchange rate changes on GBP cash. In the 12-month of 2023 GBP stayed virtually unchanged against CAD and moved from 1.65 to 1.66. Exchange rate of GBP to CAD weakened during the same period of 2022 from 1.55 to 1.53, US$ appreciated from 1.28 to 1.37 for the same period of 2022.

  • Gain on loss of control of Gardaq A/S of $31,340,880 in twelve months ended December 31, 2023 (zero in twelve months ended December 31, 2022) representing Corporation's gain on the disposition of 49% of the fair value of Gardaq's ownership in the non-gold strategic mineral licences on April 13, 2023.

CORPORATE UPDATE

3.1 GCAM Joint Venture

November 2022 Capital Fundraising was complemented by a joint venture between the Corporation and GCAM, under which the Corporation has established a strategic mineral focused exploration joint venture ("Gardaq A/S") to hold certain licences in which the majority of resource is expected to relate to non-gold minerals. Under the terms of the agreement, any gold mineralisation discovered by the Joint Venture entity during the course of exploration activities in these licences, will be offered back to the Corporation.

ACAM, through its affiliate company GCAM, LP, has invested an initial amount of $30.1 million (GBP 18 million) under a subscription and shareholders' agreement in return for 490,000 ordinary shares in the subsidiary representing 49% of the issued shares in Gardaq A/S, to solely fund exploration work programmes. The Corporation invested six non-gold strategic minerals licences through the transfer of those licences from Nalunaq A/S to Gardaq A/S as well as $7.7 million (GBP 5 million) under the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement, with such amount to be set-off against corporate overhead costs incurred by Nalunaq A/S as the joint venture's project manager.

On April 13, 2023, the Subscription and Shareholders' agreement became effective subject to satisfaction of all conditions for the release of the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement from escrow. On the day of closing the deal, the Corporation recognized $31.3 million gain on loss of control over Gardaq A/S as a subsidiary, but retained a joint control, representing 51% equity share of the Corporation in Gardaq Joint Venture.

On February 13, 2024, the Company announced the successful completion of its oversubscribed fundraising which resulted in a total of 62,724,758 new common shares conditionally placed with new and existing institutional investors at a placing price of 74 pence (CAD $1.25, ISK 127 at the closing exchange rate on 9 February 2024). The placing price represented a 5.7% premium to the closing share price on 9 February 2024 on the AIM exchange. The fundraising consisted of:

  • A placing of new common shares with new and existing institutional investors at the placing price (the "UK Placing"). Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited acted as the sole bookrunner and broker on the UK Placing.

  • A placing of new depository receipts representing new common shares with new and existing investors at the placing price (the "Icelandic Placing"). Landsbankinn hf. and Fossar Investment Bank hf. acted as joint bookrunners on the Icelandic Placing and Landsbankinn hf. acted as underwriter.

  • A private placement of new common shares by certain existing institutional investors and a director of the Company at the placing price (the "Canadian Subscription"). Amaroq director, Sigurbjorn Thorkelsson, participated in the Canadian Subscription for an aggregate of 2,700,000 common shares for gross proceeds of £2.0 million (equivalent to approx. C$3.4 million or ISK 343 million) via Klettar LP (in which he is a sole beneficiary).

    As a result of the subscription, net proceeds of approximately GBP 44 million (CAD 75 million) have been raised, exceeding the initial targeted amount of GBP 30 million. The issued shares were credited as fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the existing common shares of the Company.

The Fundraising closed on February 23, 2024.
