Exhibit 99.1

 

Speaker 1:

 

0s --> 5s

With us to discuss more is Robert Price, Chief Executive, Greenland Energy.

 

6s --> 7s

All right, Robert, thank you.

 

7s --> 9s

I want to talk about some of this.

 

9s --> 12s

I mean, we have a domino effect at the bottom of the screen.

 

12s --> 18s

The other big headline today, of course, diesel hitting five bucks a gallon.

 

18s --> 20s

So where do you think this is all going?

 

Speaker 2:

 

20s --> 27s

Yeah, Connell, at $5 a gallon, that’s a massive 38% spike in just a month.

 

27s --> 36s

Now, most consumers, they don’t use diesel, but tractor trailers, ships, trains move virtually every product we consume.

 

37s --> 45s

So what we’re going to see is core inflation could be impacted by this because these transportation companies, they’ll be forced to raise prices

 

45s --> 48s

all the way from groceries to heavy goods.

 

Speaker 1:

 

48s --> 1m 3s

Yeah, I was saying it earlier, maybe you could add to that and discuss it more, that the diesel story, I know for obvious reasons we talk about gas prices, consumer prices, and how much those are up at the pump, but the diesel story seems to me to be a bigger kind of economic story, is that right?

 

 

 

 

Speaker 2:

 

1m 3s --> 1m 5s

Yeah, I would say so.

 

1m 5s --> 1m 15s

And a lot of these remote places, these islands, whether you’re in the Caribbean, whether you’re in Greenland or other places, they are totally reliant on diesel.

 

1m 15s --> 1m 23s

Now, the conflict in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz, it’s only highlighted the fragility of our supply system.

 

1m 23s --> 1m 32s

What we need to do, Connell, is we need to look at friendly jurisdictions to look for conventional resources to bring on new supplies of oil.

 

Speaker 1:

 

1m 33s --> 1m 48s

OK, now the other question I had, and this came up last week when we were in Dubai, I was talking to a guy who’s ahead of a big petrochemicals company over there, and it kind of is in contrast to what we heard from the president today, which is that once this is over, the price is going to, as the president says, drop like a rock.

 

1m 49s --> 1m 56s

And this guy was saying he thinks it, he doesn’t know, but it might be more complicated because of how long it takes to get some of these plants up and running that have been closed for so long.

 

1m 56s --> 1m 58s

What about the day after, from your point of view?

 

Speaker 2:

 

1m 59s --> 2m 2s

Yeah, short term fixes, they’re just not enough.

 

2m 6s --> 2m 11s

Now, what current production is coming online?

 

2m 11s --> 2m 16s

ExxonMobil, they found an 11 billion-barrel field in Guyana off the shore of South America.

 

2

 

 

2m 17s --> 2m 18s

We are in Greenland.

 

2m 18s --> 2m 26s

We have a 13 billion-barrel engineering report that we’re going to drill our first two wells this year.

 

2m 26s --> 2m 28s

That is a friendly jurisdiction.

 

2m 28s --> 2m 35s

And for us to bring on that supply at peak production, we can be at 1.5 to 2 million barrels of oil a day.

 

2m 36s --> 2m 38s

Again, it’s not going to be fixed overnight.

 

2m 38s --> 2m 38s

Right.

 

2m 38s --> 2m 45s

But other countries are looking for these other friendly supplies of oil and diesel.

 

Speaker 1:

 

2m 45s --> 2m 47s

So there are workarounds possible.

 

2m 48s --> 2m 50s

To your point, you’re starting to work on them.

 

2m 50s --> 2m 51s

How long might that all take?

 

2m 51s --> 2m 54s

And by the way, Greenland is still a friendly situation.

 

Speaker 2:

 

2m 55s --> 2m 55s

Yeah.

 

3

 

 

2m 56s --> 2m 60s

And just to the people of Greenland, they rely on diesel.

 

3m 1s --> 3m 3s

They rely on shipping to get the remote areas.

 

3m 4s --> 3m 8s

And so for that disruption, that costs their economy quite a bit.

 

3m 8s --> 3m 11s

We’re drilling in our first two wells by the end of this year.

 

3m 11s --> 3m 16s

It could discover up to, again, 13 billion barrels of oil.

 

3m 16s --> 3m 21s

And Connell, at today’s prices, that’s over a trillion dollars worth of oil.

 

3m 22s --> 3m 25s

That could totally transformate

 

3m 25s --> 3m 31s

It can be a transformational for Greenland and the overall world supply of oil.

 

Speaker 1:

 

3m 31s --> 3m 35s

Interesting, although I’m kind of struck by how we’ve had a lot of oil here in the U.S.

 

3m 35s --> 3m 38s

but still haven’t been able to insulate us from these price hot rises.

 

3m 38s --> 3m 39s

Robert, for now, I got to leave it there, though.

 

3m 40s --> 3m 43s

Very, very interesting to talk to you and what you’re working on there in Greenland and elsewhere.

 

3m 44s --> 3m 47s

We’re going to monitor that situation at the White House, so let’s get a break in there.
