Uppfært auðlindamat sýnir fram á verulega aukningu gullmagns í Nalunaq 

/EIN News/ -- Reykjavík, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uppfært auðlindamat sýnir fram á verulega aukningu gullmagns í Nalunaq 

**51% aukning í gullmagni í rúmar 484 þúsund únsur**

Amaroq Minerals Ltd. (AIM, TSXV, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ) tilkynnir með ánægju uppfært auðlindamat (Mineral Resource Estimate 4, MRE4) fyrir Nalunaq gullnámuna.¹

Helstu atriði:

• Veruleg 51% aukning í gullmagni í 484 þúsund únsur með gullstyrkleika 30,13 g/t, sem sýnir fram á hina miklu vaxtarmöguleika Nalunaq gullnámunnar.
• Í fyrsta sinn er hluti auðlindarinnar skilgreindur í “Indicated” flokki, sem styður við mögulega uppfærslu í “Reserves” og framþróun verkefnisins í heild.
• Samtals “Indicated” hluti eru 151 Kt með gullstyrkleika 32,4 g/t eða 157,6 þúsund únsur, til viðbótar við 348 Kt með gullstyrkleika 29,2 g/t eða 326,3 þúsund únsur “Inferred”. Auðlindamatið er unnið af Bara Consulting Ltd. (Bara) í samræmi við staðla frá Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).
• Þessi vöxtur í auðlindamagni gefur til kynna aukningu á væntum líftíma námunnar úr ~6 árum í ~10 ár².
• MRE4 inniheldur upplýsingar úr rannsóknum í Nalunaq til og með árinu 2024, og undirstrikar áframhaldandi árangur reglulegra rannsóknarborana félagsins.
• Aukið auðlindamagn í Valley Block og í framhaldi af Mountain Block gefa til kynna frekari vaxtarmöguleika.
• Upplýsingar úr auðlindamatinu verða jafnframt nýttar við hönnun námunnar og aðra áætlanagerð.
• Amaroq er staðráðið í að halda áfram rannsóknum á árinu 2025 til að auka enn frekar við núverandi auðlindagrunn.

James Gilbertson, jarðfræðingur og yfirmaður rannsókna hjá Amaroq:

“Uppfært auðlindamat er stórt skref fram á við fyrir Nalunaq með verulegri 51% aukningu á gullmagni, ásamt því að styrkja enn frekar auðlindagrunninn með tilfærslu á hluta hans í “Indicated” flokk. Styrkleiki upp á 30,1 g/t staðfestir jafnframt að Nalunaq náman er í sérflokki á heimvísu hvað styrkleika gulls varðar. Byggt á uppfærðu mati hefur mögulegur líftími námunnar aukist í yfir 10 ár og eru frekari vaxtarmöguleikar framundan. Við erum staðráðin í að halda rannsóknum og þróun áfram til að grípa þau tækifæri og auka jarðfræðilegan skilning okkar í Nalunaq með reglulegum uppfærslum á auðlindamati, sem skilar sér að ending í langtíma virði fyrir hluthafa okkar.”

Mineral Resource Statement Notes

• Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards.
• Mineral Resources have an effective date of 23 February 2025, and have been depleted to reflect the current understanding of the mining completed as of this date;
• Mineral Resources are reported as in-situ and undiluted. The Mineral Resources are reported above a cut-off grade of 5.9 g/t, generated using a gold price of 2,100 USD/oz Au. Given these parameters, Bara considers there to be reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, and as such, fulfil the requirements for reporting a Mineral Resource;
• Mineral Resources are not Ore Reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability, nor have any mining modifying factors been applied;
• The Qualified Person for the declaration of Mineral Resources is Mr James McFarlane, MCSM CGeol CEng FIMMM QMR RPGeo FIQ of Bara Consulting Ltd.
• Bara notes that a site visit to Nalunaq was conducted by the QP in August 2024;
• Tonnages are reported in metric units, with metal grades in grammes per tonne (g/t). Metal content reported in imperial troy ounces. Tonnages and grades are rounded. Rounding, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content. Where these occur, Bara does not consider these to be material.
  
  

MRE4 Estimation Methodology

MRE4, prepared by Bara Consulting Ltd., supersedes the previous MRE3 (dated September 6, 2022, and produced by SRK Consulting UK Ltd.). This update includes major enhancements including an additional on 65 new core drillholes totalling 13,768m, drilled between 2022 and 2024, focusing on the Valley, Mountain, and Target Block extensions. Additional underground and surface chip and channel samples have also been incorporated. These additions have significantly refined the geological model and expanded the resource base.

MRE4 further enhances the geological understanding of the Nalunaq deposit. The refined Mineral Resource estimate also benefits from improved delineation of grade domains and high-grade characteristics, ensuring a more accurate representation of mineralisation. Bara Consulting Ltd. has rigorously assessed these updates, reinforcing confidence in the reliability of the new model.

Amaroq’s exploration strategy remains focused on further improving geological interpretations and expanding the resource base. With each phase of drilling, the Company strengthens its ability to develop a robust and predictive model that aligns with the unique characteristics of the Nalunaq orebody.

Other updates from the previous MRE3 estimate include:

• The integration of additional geological understanding from underground following the reopening and rehabilitation of the Nalunaq mine. This include additional production focused channel samples and targeted underground drilling.
• The definition of a new high-grade domain in the Mountain Block (MB HG2);
• Improvement in the high and low grade domain boundaries utilising soft estimation boundaries to allow for better grade distribution representative of the mineralised vein as a whole;
• Resource classification has been reviewed and ‘Indicated’ material has been defined, focused around areas of the highest confidence in data and legacy production areas; and
• Updates in the cut-off grade calculations to incorporate revised gold price forecasts and operating costs.
  
  

MRE4 Cut-off Grade

The MRE4 has been reported using a cut-off grade of 5.9 g/t Au, determined by Bara Consulting Ltd. based on modelled assumptions aligned with current and forecast mining and processing costs at Nalunaq. This cut-off reflects an increased level of scrutiny compared to previous estimates, driven by the inclusion of Indicated Mineral Resources. This shift necessitates a higher level of confidence in the assumptions used—particularly with respect to operating costs, which are now better understood as the mine has entered initial production.

Nalunaq Exploration Target

Bara Consulting Ltd. has estimated an Exploration Target for the Nalunaq project based on the assessment of geological and assay data in areas where data density is currently insufficient to support the classification of a Mineral Resource in accordance with CIM guidelines.

The Exploration Target has been estimated across the Main Vein and potential hanging wall structures, including the 75 Vein. For the Main Vein, the Exploration Target is estimated to range from 400,000 tonnes to 1.8 million tonnes at a grade of 10 to 30 g/t Au, representing a potential contained gold content of approximately 130,000 to 1.7 million ounces.

In addition, an Exploration Target for the 75 Vein and other hanging wall structures is estimated at 200,000 to 500,000 tonnes at a grade of 10 to 30 g/t Au, with a potential contained gold content of approximately 65,000 to 480,000 ounces.

In total, the combined Exploration Target for Nalunaq is estimated to be between 600,000 and 2.3 million tonnes at 10 to 30 g/t Au, representing a potential contained gold content of approximately 195,000 to 2.3 million ounces.

The potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a Mineral Resource.
