NEWS RELEASE 17 OCTOBER 2024
Quarterly Activities Report September 2024
GreenX Metals Limited (ASX:GRX, LSE:GRX) (GreenX or the Company) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period during and subsequent to 30 September 2024.
HIGHLIGHTS
· Arbitration Award
o Subsequent to the quarter end, GreenX was awarded A$490 million in compensation and interest from the successful outcome of the international arbitration claims against the Republic of Poland under both the Australia-Poland Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) and the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT).
o Upon satisfaction of the award, it is GreenX's intention to return the majority of the available cash to shareholders in a timely fashion, after payment of funding and claim related costs of the arbitration and applicable taxes (if any)
· Tannenberg Copper Project
o In August 2024, GreenX entered into a earn-in agreement to earn up to 90% in the Tannenberg Copper Project (Tannenberg) which is a highly prospective sediment-hosted (Kupferschiefer type) copper deposit in Germany.
o The Tannenberg exploration licence covers 272 km2 in the State of Hesse in central Germany, encompassing the historical "Richelsdorf" copper - silver mines.
· Eleonore North Gold Project
o In July 2024, GreenX entered into a revised agreement to acquire 100% of the Eleonore North Gold Project (Eleonore North) located in eastern Greenland.
o Eleonore North has the potential to host a "reduced intrusion-related gold system" (RIRGS) analogous to large bulk-tonnage deposit types found in Canada.
Commenting on the outcome of the Claim, GreenX CEO Mr Ben Stoikovich said "Having received the Tribunal's decision, management is now focused on satisfaction of the award and maximising the return of capital by GreenX to its shareholders.
The award of A$490 million will continue to accrue interest at approximately 6% per annum based on today's rates (Sterling Over-Night Interest rate (SONIA) plus 1%) until full and final satisfaction of the award by Poland.
Looking ahead, we view GreenX's future with great optimism and in conjunction with maximising the return of capital to GreenX shareholders, we remain dedicated to advancing our copper and gold projects in Germany and Greenland. We will continue to update the market regarding the award and legal proceedings in line with the Company's continuous disclosure requirements."
SUCCESSFUL ARBITRATION OUTCOME IN DISPUTE WITH POLISH GOVERNMENT
Subsequent to the quarter, GreenX reported a successful outcome of the international arbitration claims (Claim) against Republic of Poland (Poland or Respondent) under both the BIT and the ECT (together the Treaties).
The Company has been awarded:
· approximately £252m (A$490m / PLN1.3bn) in compensation by the Tribunal under the BIT (BIT Award) which includes interest compounded at SONIA plus one percentage point (+1%) compounded annually from 31 December 2019 to the date of the award (7 October 2024). Interest will continue to accrue at SONIA +1% compounded annually until full and final payment by the Respondent.
· approximately £183m (A$355m / PLN 941m) in compensation by the Tribunal under the ECT (ECT Award), which includes interest compounded at the SONIA overnight rate +1% compounded annually from 31 December 2019. Interest will continue to accrue at SONIA +1% compounded annually until full and final payment by the Respondent.
· Both Awards are subject to any payments made by the Respondent to the Claimant in the other arbitration such that the Claimant is not entitled to double compensation i.e., any amount paid by Poland in one arbitration (i.e., ECT) is set off against Poland's liability in the other arbitration (i.e., BIT).
The compensation is denominated in British pound sterling. No hedging is in place for the compensation and accordingly is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency.
Each party has been ordered to cover its own legal fees, expenses and arbitration costs in relation to the Claim, which in respect of GreenX are costs that have already been fully paid under the Litigation Funding Agreement (LFA) with specialist arbitration funder LCM Funding UK Limited (a subsidiary of Litigation Capital Management Ltd) (LCM).
The Tribunal has unanimously held that Poland had breached its obligations under the Treaties in relation to the Jan Karski project, entitling GreenX to compensation. In respect of the Dębieńsko project, the Tribunal did not uphold the Claim under the Treaties.
All of GreenX's costs associated with the arbitration were funded on a limited basis from LCM. To date, GreenX has drawn down US$11.2 million (A$16.2 million at 30 September 2024) (Outstanding Funding) from the LFA. In accordance with the terms of the LFA, once the compensation is received, LCM is entitled to be paid the Outstanding Funding, a multiple of five times the Outstanding Funding (based on the period since entering into the LFA) and from 1 January 2025, interest on the Outstanding Funding at a rate of 30% per annum, compounding monthly.
Net of the payments to LCM, GreenX will pay 6% of the balance to key management directly involved in the case (as previously approved by shareholders on 20 January 2021) and 3% to key legal advisers who assisted with the case on a reduced and fixed fee.
Upon satisfaction of the award, it is GreenX's intention to return the majority of the available cash to shareholders in a timely fashion, after payment of the above costs of the arbitration and applicable taxes (if any).
The Claim was brought under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Rules (UNCITRAL) and the Awards are final and binding on the parties. The UNCITRAL Rules do not provide for an appeal procedure i.e., grant no explicit authority to a panel to reconsider its award. Under the UNCITRAL Rules, either party may, within 30 days of receiving an award, ask the Tribunal to correct any computational, clerical or typographical errors in the award, issue an interpretation of the award or render an additional award on any claims omitted from the final award. These procedures do not allow either party to request that the Tribunal reconsider the merits of its decision.
If a party believes that an award ought to be "set-aside" or "annulled", then that party must apply for relief from a court where the arbitration was seated, which would be the national courts of England and Wales for the BIT claim and Singapore for the ECT claim. Poland has 28 days from the date of the BIT Award and three months from receiving the ECT Award to apply for set aside of the respective Awards, which can only be set aside under limited circumstances. These time limits may be extended if there is an application for correction or, in the case of the BIT claim, with the permission of the English courts. It is important to note that a "set-aside" motion is different from a general "appeal" since a set-aside motion can in general only relate to a lack of jurisdiction on the part of the Tribunal or procedural unfairness, unlike an appeal, where the actual merits of a case might be revisited by a court. In summary, Poland cannot initiate any post award proceedings to re-examine the Tribunal's decision on the merits of the case. The threshold to succeed on a "set-aside" motion in either the Singapore or English domestic courts is high, with courts in both jurisdictions rejecting set-aside applications in the vast majority of cases.
TANNENBERG COPPER PROJECT
During the quarter, the Company announced that it has entered into an earn-in agreement (Tannenberg Agreement) through which GreenX can earn a 90% interest in Group 11 Exploration GmbH, a private German company which holds the Tannenberg project.
· Tannenberg is a highly prospective sediment-hosted (Kupferschiefer type) copper deposit.
· Kupferschiefer style deposits are a well-known and prolific subtype of sediment-hosted copper deposit that:
o are the second most prevalent source of copper production and reserves in the world; and
o have been historically mined in Germany and are still mined in Poland where KGHM produced 592 kt of electrolytic copper in 2023
· The Tannenberg exploration licence covers 272 km2 in the State of Hesse in central Germany, encompassing the historical "Richelsdorf" copper - silver mines.
· Prior to closure in the 1950's, the Richelsdorf mines produced 416,500 t of copper and 33.7 Moz of silver from Kupferschiefer type deposits. These historic mines consisted of shallow underground workings originally accessed from surface outcrops.
· Tannenberg also contains multiple drill intercepts over the high priority 14 km-long Richelsdorf Dome target, including:
o 2.1 m at 2.7% Cu and 48g/t Ag from 365.48 m; 1.5 m at 3.7% Cu and 33 g/t Ag from 209.50 m; 2.5 m at 1.8% Cu and 19 g/t Ag from 339.5 m in the southwest of the license area.
o 2.0 m at 1.6% Cu and 19 g/t Ag from 268 m in the north-east of the license area.
Figure 1: Tannenberg is located in the industrial centre of Europe
· Excellent potential for new discoveries of shallow (50 m to 500 m), large scale and high grade Kupferschiefer style copper and silver mineralisation, with much of licence area remaining untested by modern exploration whereby thicker sections of footwall/ hanging wall mineralisation will be targeted.
· Modern understanding of Kupferschiefer mineralisation from prolific mining in Poland places new emphasis on hanging wall and footwall mineralisation, structural controls and metal zonation.
· In Polish Kupferschiefer mines, mineralisation typically forms within the Kupferschiefer shale and in strata up to 60 m below and 30 m above the shale. E.g., KGHM's Rudna Mine in Poland, where footwall sandstone hosts 80% of the total copper resource, hanging wall limestone hosts 15%, and Kupferschiefer shale hosts only 5%.
Historical drilling and mine workings confirm the widespread presence of the crucial Kupferschiefer sequence within the Tannenberg project. The sedimentary sequence forms a broad dome that outcrops near the centre of the licence area and extends down to approximately 500 m at the periphery. Regional and small-scale faults cut the licence area with the dominant orientation trending northwest-southeast, perpendicular to the Variscan Orogen. Zones of copper enrichment within the licence area correspond to fault intersections. Structure is a key targeting consideration at Tannenberg.
Figure 2: The Kupferschiefer is gently folded to form the Richelsdorf Dome that extends from surface down to 500 m depth within the licence area. Historical mining around Richelsdorf exploited mineralisation near the surface. Historical drilling intercepted mineralised Kupferschiefer down to 436 m. Much of the Kupferschiefer between 50 to 500 m remains untested
Future work programs at Tannenberg will aid drill targeting. Initially, an in-country search for additional historical drilling and mining records will be undertaken. Geophysical methods such as seismic and magnetic surveys will be evaluated for their effectiveness in delineating subsurface structures at the high-priority Richelsdorf Dome target. Historical drill assays will be used to identify metal zonation patterns useful for exploration targeting.
The area of primary interest covers 14 km-long stretch of the Richelsdorf Dome where Kupferschiefer strata outcrop at surface in the centre and extend down to approximately 500 m at the periphery. GreenX will fund a work program up to €500,000 to satisfy requirements for the grant of an extension of the exploration license at Tannenberg.
eleonore north gold project
In July 2024, following renegotiation with Greenfields Exploration Pty Ltd (Greenfields), GreenX entered into a revised agreement to acquire 100% of Eleonore North project in eastern Greenland.
These revised terms provide GreenX with the opportunity to retain the Eleonore North and to conduct further exploration work before making a decision to continue with the Project by 31 December 2025. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the exploration licences for Eleonore North were successfully transferred to GreenX.
The Eleonore North gold project comprises of two exploration licences covering an area of 1,221 km2 in an arid part of north-eastern Greenland, approximately 1,000 km south of the Company's Arctic Rift Copper project (ARC)(Figure 3).
The two exploration licences are located on Ymer Island in the south and the Strindberg Land peninsula in the north (Figure 4). The 300 m deep fjords in this area are around 6 km wide, sailed annually by large container ships, and aircraft frequent the area. The Company had identified no significant environmental, archaeological, or social challenges in the area.

During the quarter and following renegotiation with Greenfields, GreenX has acquired a 100% interest in Eleonore North through a revised option agreement. Having spent the required amount on an agreed work exploration program for the project, GreenX will now conduct further exploration work on Eleonore North before making a decision to continue with the project by 31 December 2025.
GreenX is again collaborating with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). For the last two years, GEUS has conducted fieldwork in the region surrounding and within the Eleonore North licence. GEUS has a multi-year project working to update the geological maps to a higher level of detail. This work is primarily being done with traditional field mapping, sample collection, and helicopter-based photography.
Based on previous discussions with GEUS, there is the possibility to commission GEUS to fast-track production of an updated geological map at Eleonore North based on helicopter photography collected in 2023. Samples collected by GEUS are also available in Copenhagen for inspection and analysis. These samples may provide a new regional perspective on the gold systems present in northeastern Greenland.

ARCTIC RIFT COPPER PROJECT
The ARC project is an exploration joint venture between GreenX and Greenfields. GreenX can earn-in up to 80% in ARC with the Company owning a 51% interest in the project. The project is targeting large scale copper in multiple settings across a 5,774 km2 Special Exploration Licence in eastern North Greenland. The area has been historically underexplored yet is prospective for copper, forming part of the newly identified Kiffaanngissuseq metallogenic province.
The results of work program announced last year have demonstrated the high-grade nature of the known copper sulphide mineralisation and wider copper mineralization in fault hosted Black Earth zones and adjacent sandstone units. The exact position of a native copper fissure at the Neergaard Dal prospect was also identified.
The Company is in the process of analysing further remote-sensing options for ARC, which would be used to supplement current understanding of the known copper sulphide mineralisation and refine plans for the next exploration program.
CORPORATE
At 30 September 2024, GreenX had a cash balance of A$6 million allowing further exploration to be conducted at the Company's projects and to prepare for enforcement activities in relation to the Claim award.
