21.03.2012  |  Marketwired

PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/12 -- Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited ("GMEL" or "the Company") (ASX: GGG) is pleased to announce the first mineral resource estimate for the 'Zone 2' multi-element deposit. Zone 2 is the second mineral resource established in the broader project area, following the delineation of a 619 Mt resource at Kvanefjeld (March 2011). The Zone 2 resource estimate was independently prepared by SRK Consulting (SRK) and is reported in accordance with the Australian Joint Ore Reserve Committee (JORC) code.

Highlights:


- Zone 2 inferred mineral resource of 242 Million tonnes (Mt)(i) @ 304 ppm U3O8, 1.1 % total rare earth oxide (TREO)(ii), 0.26% zinc


- Zone 2 contained metal inventory of 162 Mlbs U3O8, 2.67 Mt TREO (i)


- Global metal inventory(i) now 512 Mlbs U3O8 (increase of 46%) and 9.2 Mt TREO (increase of 39%); 1.98 Mt zinc


- Rare earth resource inventory includes 330,000 t heavy REO, 740,000 t Y2O3


- Higher grade upper ore zone of 119 million tonnes @ 400 ppm U3O8, 1.2% TREO


- Zone 2 remains open towards the Kvanefjeld deposit located 6 km to the north


- Zone 2 resources hosted by the same rock-type as Kvanefjeld; conducive to the same enhanced processing method established for Kvanefjeld


- Zone 3 drill assay results soon to be finalised, with initial Zone 3 mineral resource estimate anticipated in the coming weeks


(i) At 150 ppm U3O8 cut-off


(ii) Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO), refers to the elements in the lanthanide series + yttrium. Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (heavy REO), refers to the elements Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu
