GREENX METALS LIMITED
GreenX Metals focuses on the exploration and development of sustainable critical mineral resources and is aligned with both the EU Critical Raw Materials Act and Germany’s Raw Materials Strategy.
The Company’s primary focus is the Tannenberg Copper Project in Germany, which is highly prospective for sediment-hosted (Kupferschiefer type) copper deposits. The project is a large-scale, 1,900 km² brownfield licence located in the historic Richelsdorf Mining District, which produced over 416,000 tonnes of copper and 33.7 million ounces of silver before closure in the 1950s.
Through its search of original archive data, GreenX has identified a historical estimate at Tannenberg of 728,000 contained tonnes of copper (1,605 Mlbs) at an average grade of 2.6% copper, dating from 1940.
The Company also holds the Eleonore North Project in Greenland, which comprises two distinct prospect areas. The Noa Gold & Antimony Prospect hosts outcropping gold and high-grade antimony mineralisation. In addition, the Project includes the Margeries Tungsten & Antimony Prospects, where historical work has delineated high-grade tungsten and antimony mineralisation. Antimony and tungsten are both listed as Critical Raw Materials by the EU and the US, with increasing strategic importance due to their use in defence applications, renewable energy technologies and battery safety systems.

Benefits of doing business in Queensland
Queensland offers a range of business advantages including a stable economy, supportive government, and a solid growth forecast. Queensland’s low operating costs, highly skilled workforce and strategic Asia-Pacific location create an attractive investment destination.
Queensland business owners and investors enjoy:
- a dynamic, innovative and stable economy with the most competitive payroll tax regime in Australia, including tax breaks for employers of apprentices and trainees
- a highly skilled workforce in strong, diverse industries
- an idyllic lifestyle
- Queensland Government initiatives, including innovation and commercial grants, and expected spending of around $15 billion on infrastructure capital works in 2011-12.
Queensland’s pro-business economy
Queensland’s pro-business economic environment and forecasted growth offers investors a safe, long-term investment climate within a stable and resilient economy:
IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook (2011) ranked Australia’s economy as the second most resilient to economic cycles in the world.
Dun & Bradstreet (2010) ranked Australia alongside Canada, Switzerland and Norway as the safest and most secure destination for foreign investment in the world.
By relocating to Queensland, you will benefit from:
- dedicated Queensland Government infrastructure spending
- dominant mining, agriculture, energy and resources sectors
- strong population growth.
- Business investment is recovering from the natural disasters that occurred in 2010-11, and will accelerate beyond recovery in 2011-12.
Forecast growth in Queensland for 2011-12 is 5.6% – well above the national forecast of 3.5% (Access Economics). A return to headline growth offers a range of opportunities for your business or investment, as it will be driven by further investment in mining, the developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, and business and residential reconstruction.
