JORC Code (2012) Compliance – Consent of Competent Persons Competent Person Statement The information in this presentation that relates to Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Robin Simpson, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Simpson is employed by SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd (“SRK”), and was engaged by Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd on the basis of SRK’s normal professional daily rates. SRK has no beneficial interest in the outcome of the technical assessment being capable of affecting its independence. Mr Simpson has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Robin Simpson consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. The mineral resource estimate for the Kvanefjeld Project was updated and released in a Company Announcement on February 12 th , 2015. There have been no material changes to the resource estimate since this announcement.

Developing Kvanefjeld – Greenland’s World Project Set To Deliver the Raw Materials for An Energy Efficient Future  The world’s largest undeveloped resource of rare earth elements and uranium (JORC ‐ code, 2012, compliant) , with huge upside (>1 Billion tonnes defined, <20% of project area evaluated)  A primary product stream of high ‐ purity critical rare earth concentrates (Nd, Pr, Eu, Dy, Tb, Y)  By ‐ production of U 3 O 8 , lanthanum and cerium, zinc and fluorspar  By ‐ product revenue streams will see Kvanefjeld become the lowest ‐ cost producer of critical rare earth’s globally  Positioned for permitting and development pipeline as uranium and RE prices rise View over the Narsaq Valley that will host much of the project infrastructure, toward the North Atlantic Ocean 3

Kvanefjeld Rare Earth – Uranium Project Set to Hold a Dominant Role in Future Rare Earth Production ‘Bulk light REEs’  Kvanefjeld is enriched across the rare earth spectrum, in market relevant proportions  Unique non ‐ refractory ore minerals, conducive to simple, low technical risk processing  Primary product stream of critical rare earths, La and Ce as by ‐ products, minimal market risk  Process flow sheet also produces U 3 O 8 , zinc concentrate, and fluorspar by ‐ products 5  Resource scale to dominate the low ‐ end of the cost curve by market volume

Kvanefjeld Uranium Resources An Enormous Energy Resource Kvanefjeld (Ilimaussaq) ‐ Global (JORC) uranium resource of 593 Mlbs U 3 O 8 @150ppm U 3 O 8 cut off  Nuclear Power is increasingly recognised as an all ‐ important base load power source – U & in future Th  <20% of prospective ground in northern Ilimaussaq complex evaluated  1500 Olympic Dam’s resources are 5,404 Mlbs Global Uranium Resources (Mlb's) Source: BCC, Company Filings and websites as at January 27, 2012 1000 Current JORC resource 500 0 6 * *Geological resource estimate generated by Henning Sørensen, published by the IAEA, of >1.3Blb’s @ 150ppm U 3 O 8 cut ‐ off

Kvanefjeld – Ideally Located in South Greenland Direct Shipping Access Year ‐ Round, Airport Nearby Overview of the Erik Aappalaartup Nunaa Peninsula (or Narsaq Peninsula), south Greenland, view is toward the north The Kvanefjeld project is easily accessed by ship from the North Atlantic, year round The distance from Narsaq town to Narsarsuaq Airport is 45 km 7

Project Area: Northern Ilimaussaq Complex An Extraordinary Resource Base, With Huge Upside • Several large ‐ scale, bulk ‐ tonnage resources defined: Overview – Northern Ilimaussaq Complex Kvanefjeld, S ø rensen and Zone 3. • The deposits represent the outcropping expressions of a mineralised system that geological evidence indicates is interconnected at depth • Mineralisation is hosted by lujavrite, with the mineral steenstrupine the dominant host to both uranium and REEs. • Low mining costs due to outcropping, bulk tonnage deposits, highest grades near surface (>400ppm U 3 O 8 , >1.4% TREO) Project overall resource inventory: 1.01 Bt containing 593 Mlbs U 3 O 8 , 11.13 Mt TREO, 2.42 Mt zinc (JORC ‐ code 2012 compliant, Prepared by SRK Consulting) TREO includes: 0.4 Mt heavy REO, 0.9 Mt yttrium oxide Kvanefjeld Deposit : Global resource: 673 Mt @ 248 ppm U 3 O 8 , 1.1% TREO, 0.23% zinc Measured resource: 143 Mt @ 303 ppm U 3 O 8 , 1.2% TREO, 0.24% zinc Including: 54 Mt @ 403 ppm U 3 O 8 , 1.4% TREO, 0.24% zinc Sørensen Deposit: Global resource: 242 Mt @ 304 ppm U 3 O 8 , 1.1% TREO, 0.26% zinc Zone 3 Deposit: Global resource: 95 Mt @ 300 ppm U 3 O 8 1.16% TREO 8 For grade/tonnage breakdowns see resource table at end of the presentation

Advanced Feasibility Program Comprehensive Feasibility Study Nearing Completion, EIA, SIA Advanced  Pre ‐ Feasibility Study – March 2012  Mine and Concentrator Study – March 2013  Feasibility Study – Nearing Completion  Environment and Social Impact Assessments to be completed early Q3 2015  Detailed Engineering Design for Kvanefjeld Completed by Tetra Tech  Image Above – Refinery Facility  Image Right – View Over Comminution and Concentrator Circuit, Toward Refinery 11

Large ‐ Scale Pilot Plant Operations Kvanefjeld Project – A Lead Project For the EU ‐ Backed EURARE Program Pilot plant – SGS Perth, 2012  Ongoing test work on Kvanefjeld has been conducted through the EURARE program  In April 2015, a pilot plant operation of the beneficiation circuit will be conducted, and in August the pilot plant operation of the refinery circuit will take place  This will assist in moving toward bankable status  Immense benefit to GMEL to work with top laboratories and to have funding support  These operations follow on from previous pilot plant operations of the flotation circuit and continuous operations of the refinery circuit.
