NunaMinerals in severe financial distress

Outcome of current attempts to find a solution are very uncertain

Nuuk, 2015-02-20 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With reference to company announcements no. 5 of 30 January 2015 and no. 7 of 2 February 2015, the Board of Directors of NunaMinerals A/S hereby informs that the Board of Directors and the Executive Management continue their effort to find a solution for NunaMinerals’ financial situation, including a solution with regard to the loan of DKK 4.5 million provided by the Government of Greenland which became payable after 31 January 2015. The company is currently not able to meet its payment obligations towards the Government of Greenland and has no liquidity to finance its activities going forward.

Whether the current on-going attempts vis-á-vis possible investors could lead to a viable solution is still very uncertain and could result in a decision to commence insolvency proceedings depending on the developments over the next coming days.

The Board of Directors will provide a further update to the market early next week.
