GreenRoc Mining plc announced the appointment of Dr. Stefan Bernstein as Chief Executive Officer, with effect from 1 July 2022. As a Danish geologist with over 30 years' experience in Greenland's mining sector, Stefan Bernstein brings a very strong knowledge and understanding of the country and its mineral wealth, with his experience spanning both corporate and governmental advisory roles. Stefan Bernstein joins GreenRoc from GEUS, the Danish and Greenlandic Geological Survey responsible for supporting the sustainable exploitation of raw materials in Greenland, where since 2016 he was the Head of the Mapping and Mineral Resources Department.

In this capacity, he focused on developing Greenland's known geology through integrated programmes in collaboration with the Ministry of Mineral Resources in Greenland. Before that, among other roles, he was Exploration Director, and latterly CEO, of Avannaa Resources Ltd, a Greenland-focused mineral exploration company which he co-founded in 2007 and which executed over 25 exploration programmes, discovering the Karrat REE deposit and the Disko Bay diamond province in West Greenland and securing two joint venture agreements with major mining companies Anglo American and Boliden. He has earlier been involved in other deposit discoveries in Greenland, including the Platinova palladium-gold Reef in the Skaergaard Intrusion, stratabound PGE mineralisation at the Kap Edvard Holm Complex, and the Citronen Fjord Pb-Zn deposit.

As CEO of GreenRoc, Stefan Bernstein will be responsible for advancing the Company's strategic asset portfolio. Notably, this includes the Amitsoq Graphite Project in southern Greenland ('Amitsoq'), one of the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world, and the Thule Black Sands Ilmenite Project in north-west Greenland ('TBS'), both of which the Company is focused on advancing to development status this year. Following this appointment, Mr. Lars Brünner, who has assumed the role of Interim CEO, will return to his role as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with effect from 1 July 2022.
