TORONTO, ONTARIO – 8 January 2026 – Amaroq Ltd. (AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ, OTCQX: AMRQF), an independent mine development corporation focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, is pleased to announce year end gold production from its flagship Nalunaq gold mine amounted to ~6.6koz¹, above the mid-point of the annual 6-7koz production range and pre-final refinery assessment.

Highlights

• Year end production of ~6.6koz¹, above the mid point of the 6-7koz guidance range
• Mining and processing rates expected to continue to be consistent into the new year
• Final IBA awarded for the Nalunaq gold mine
• Production guidance and budget for 2026 will be announced in late February 2026

Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq, commented:
“In what has been a commissioning year for our Nalunaq mine in Southern Greenland, I am very pleased to announce gold production came above the mid point of the guidance range. Since completion of the shutdown in Q4 2025 and restart of operations, the processing unit and mining operations have performed well, in line with our expectations for Phase 1 and with a target to increase the recovery factor up to ~90%, once Phase 2 is complete, in Q2 2026.

“We are very proud to have had the final impact benefit agreement for our Nalunaq mine approved; it is significant milestone, not only for Amaroq but also demonstrates how a successful mining industry in Greenland is being developed. I would just like to take the opportunity to thank all of our team on the ground, as well as our sub contractors who have worked tirelessly in the construction and commissioning at Nalunaq. I very much look forward to bringing the market more news, as we progress into the new year and phase 2 commissioning.”
