1 INTRODUCTION TANBREEZ Mining Greenland A/S is currently exploring the potential of mining Zirconia, Rare Earth Elements, Yttrium, Niobium, Hafnium and Tantalum mine (the TANBREEZ Project) at Killavaat Alannguat (Kringlerne) in South Greenland. The TANBREEZ Project includes two mine sites; one at the Killavaat Alannguat plateau at 400 500 m altitude and another at the shore of Kangerluarsuk Fjord where all other mine facilities will be located. Fostersø, which is also situated at Killavaat Alannguat, has been identified as a possible location for deposition of tailings and waste rock. Fostersø is connected to Kangerluarsuk Fjord through the stream Laksetværelv which discharge into Lakseelv approximately 1 km from outlet in the fjord. In order to better characterise the actual climate at the mine site a weather station has been operated by Orbicon since May. This note present the climate data collected between May and October. To get a better understanding of the hydrology of the Killavaat Alannguat, and in particular the flow in streams and rivers that connect Fostersø with the fjord, Orbicon has been operating a hydrometric station that measure the out flow of water from Fostersø. This station has also been running since May and the data compiled so far is presented in this note. 6/32

3 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN THE REGION 3.1 INTRODUCTION South Greenland is situated at latitude 60 0-61 0 North and is characterized by having arctic climate as the warmest month in the year has average temperatures below +10 0 Celsius. At a regional scale the weather in South Greenland is mainly influenced by the North American continent and the North Atlantic Ocean. But the local climate is also heavily influenced by the Greenland Inland Ice. Another key factor is the all year round low sea surface temperature which is causing the South Greenland waters and coasts to be part of the arctic zone with summer temperatures below 10 degree C. The annual average air temperature at Qaqortoq is 0.6 0 C (Source DMI: standard period 1961-1990) some 20 km southwest of Killavaat Alannguat. Qaqortoq is situated close to the open coast and is under influence by an oceanic weather type with cool summers and relatively mild summers. The average January temperature in Qaqortoq is 5.5 degree C, while the average temperature in the warmest months (July and August) is 7.2 degree C (DMI 2012). Further inland, the weather type is more of a continental type and in South Greenland average summer temperatures can locally exceed the 10 degree threshold, which limit the arctic region. For example is the annual average air temperature at Narsarsuaq, 35 km northeast of Killavaat Alannguat 0.9 0 C, the average January temperature is 6.8 degree C, but 10.3 degree C in July (DMI 2012). 3.2 Precipitation The annual average precipitation is measured to 615 mm at Narsarsuaq and 858 mm at Qaqortoq. This reflects the fact that the Narsarsuaq is dominated by continental and dry climate compared to the more humid air from the ocean at Qaqortoq. The highest monthly precipitation was measured to 374 mm in July 1966 in Qaqortoq. Local variations will occur as a consequence of changing topography affecting more rain in the high altitudes due to the orographic effect when humid air is forced up the mountain sides. In the winter period where precipitation is falling as snow, the snow depth is typically highest in February where the normal is 20 cm in Narsarsuaq and 41 cm in Qaqortoq. The absolute maximum snow depth in Narsarsuaq was measured to 103 cm in 1973 and in Qaqortoq 204 cm measured in 1972. 8/32
3.3 Wind pattern Gale force winds (above 13.8 m/s) are common in South Greenland in particular in winter. Furthermore, down directed offshore winds may reach sea level as outbursts of dry and relatively warm air (a foehn wind). This is a warm dry wind arising through adiabatic compression of the air sweeping down from the inland ice cap. Its relative humidity drops to 30-40% and the temperatures rises up to 15-20 degrees C within an hour and remains very high for up to a day or two. The effect of the foehn wind is particularly marked in winter, when it results in rapid melting of the snow. The wind pattern in the region is much dependent of local variations in topography, even though the general atmosferic circulation is the driving force and determine whether the wind is coming from the costal region or perhaps from the caractheristic Föhn situations with strong gales coming from the NE. Both at Qaqortoq and Narsarsuaq is the prevailing wind direction NE or the opposite direction SW. Figure 3-1. Characteristic is that Qaqortoq is exposed for a much more differing wind pattern than Narsarsuaq who is very dominated by the orientation of the Narsarsuaq Valley Wind of character of storm or higher is mostly occuring from NE and is often of character of katabatic winds like the dry and warm Föhn winds. DMI station Qaqortoq 1961 1999 DMI station Narsarsuaq 1961 1999 Figure 3-1 Windroses from Qaqortoq and Narsarsuaq 9/32
On average the wind is less than 1.5 m/s or zero in 44% of the year at Narsarsuaq, compared to 41% at Qaqortoq. The frequency of storms counted as number of days a year with winds higher than 28.5 m/s, is 1.3 at Narsarsuaq and 2.7 at Qaqortoq. 3.4 Fog Even though the weather often is clear with excellent visibility, there are also periods with fog. The sea fog season is from May to September where relatively cold sea water is cooling the passing air masses with condensation and advection fog as a result. The sea fog is more frequent in Qaqortoq and decreasing when moving towards East, more inland and closer to the ice sheet. Number of days with fog and visibility less than 1 km is 18 days in Narsarsuaq and 53 days a year in Qaqortoq. 10/32
4 WEATHER DATA COLLECTED AT KILLAVAAT ALANNGUAT The weather station at Killavaat Alannguat since 23 May (Figure 4.1) has collected information on wind speed and direction, temperature, barometric pressure humidity and precipitation. The collected data are shown in Annex 2 7. A summary of the collected data are presented in Table 4-1. Figure 4-1 The weather station at Killavaat Alannguat 11/32

This means that Killavaat Alannguat lies within the Arctic climate zone, with cool summers and cold winters. The annual precipitation from November to October at Killavaat Alannguat was 840 mm while only 660 mm was recorded in Qaqortoq during the same period. The monthly precipitation recorded at these two sites is shown in Figure 4-2. This higher 12/32
Air temperature (C 0 ) Precipitation (mm) precipitation measured at Killavaat Alannguat compared to Qaqortoq is most likely due to the fact that the station at Killavaat Alannguat is at 450 m altitude while the weather station at Qaqortoq is at 100m. A 5% increase in precipitation for every 100 altitude is often recorded in coastal Greenland. 140 120 100 St. 1004 - Mine Site Qaqortoq 80 60 40 20 0 Figure 4-2 Monthly precipitation recorded at Killavaat Alannguat (St. 1004 Mine Site) and in Qaqortoq 12 10 8 6 4 2 0-2 -4-6 -8 St. 1004 - Mine Site Qaqortoq Figure 4-3 Measured temperature at Killavaat Alannguat (St. 1004 Mine Site) and in Qaqortoq The temperature at Killavaat Alannguat during the summer months is almost similar to Qaqortoq, while in the winter months the temperature is much lower at Killavaat Alannguat (Figure 4-3). This is probably a combination of the more coastal climate at Qaqortoq and the 350 m difference in altitude. 13/32
Very high wind speeds have also been recorded at Killavaat Alannguat with a maximum wind speed of 52.4 m/s in September but many incidences with wind speed over 30 m/s (Annex 3). 14/32
5 CATCHMENT AREAS AT KILLAVAAT ALANNGUAT Streams, rivers and lakes at Killavaat Alannguat with their catchment areas are shown in Figure 5.1. The topography and morphology of this area varied considerably and include the steep and very significant 1200 meter high mountain ridge Redekammen, which forms the catchment boundary towards the South-east. Most of the area that surrounds Fostersø is an elevated plateau with almost no vegetation. This is in contrast to the lower and downstream Lakseelv-valley, which has dense vegetation of dwarf heat and grasses. Climate station Hydrology station Figure 5-1 Streams, rivers (blue lines) and lakes and their catchment areas (red lines) at Killavaat Alannguat. Fostersø (Foster Lake) is marked with 470 in the figure (the altitude of the lake) 15/32
The small stream Laksetværelv is the outlet of Fostersø. This stream has steep gradient resulting in a turbulent character with many small waterfalls. Laksetværelv joins Lakseelv about 1 km before the fjord. Lakseelv has a total catchment area of 26 km 2. Laksetværelv and its sub-catchment areas which cover 6.4 km 2 make up 25% of this area. The runoff pattern in the area varies according to the vegetation cover, soil layer thickness and topography. Typically an increase in water flow is recorded very shortly after precipitation events, even though Fostersø acts as a buffer and delays the flow to some extent. This is particularly obvious in the dry periods of the summer. A base flow or contribution from soil and ground water storage is usually not very important in cold region such as South Greenland. However, some base flow of soil and/or ground water must take place since water is flowing in Lakseelv throughout the year (that is even during mid-winter).

6 THE HYDROMETRIC STATION AT FOSTERSØ If Fostersø is to be used as tailings pond and for deposition of waste rock, it is important to known the retention time of water in the lake. To calculate this, a key figure is annual discharge but also annual variation, minimum flow and maximum flow is necessarily information. A hydrometric station has therefore been running at the outlet of Foster Lake since May (Figure 6.1). Figure 6-1 Hydrometric station at Fostersø This hydrometric station measures and store information about the water level in Fostersø. Based on the relation between the recorded water levels and a series of discrete discharge measurements it is possible to estimate the relation between these parameters and thereby calculate a continuous time series of discharge data. The hydrometric station has been operated with a Campbell Scientific data logger, measuring the water level through a submerged pressure transducer. The data logger is powered by a 12 volt accumulator and a 10 Watt solar panel. Data transmission is provided by the Iridium satellite system. 17/32
Water level m datum As a backup, a standalone submerged mini-data logger is deployed in the Fostersø approximately 50 meter north of the main station. Data from this station has not yet been collected. The rating curve expresses the relation between the water level in the lake (H) and the discharge (Q) and is dependent on the hydraulic conditions at the outlet from the lake. The rating curve for Fostersø is shown in Figure 6.2. 100.00 99.98 99.96 99.94 99.92 99.90 99.88 99.86 99.84 99.82 99.80 99.78 99.76 99.74 99.72 99.70 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 Flow m3/s Figure 6-2 Rating curve for Fostersø (see text for explanation) The rating curve makes it possible to construct a time series of discharge values derived from the continuously recorded water level in the lake. Figure 6.3 (top) show the measured water level in Fostersø between June and October. The middle figure shows the estimated outflow from the lake (through Laksetværelv) in the same period. The bottom figure show the measured air temperature during the same period as measured at the nearby climate station. 18/32

However, from mid-january to end of March the water level was steadily increasing in the lake. This is because the outflow was blocked by ice but a steady inflow of water still took place, probably mostly ground/soil water, leading to an increase in the level. When the first strong thaw/rain event occurs by the end of March the blockage melted and the water from the lake is forced out through Laksetværelv (Figure 6.3, top and middle). 6.1 Discharge in - The calculated discharge data (in Figure 6.3 middle) makes it possible to calculate the annual outflow from Fostersø during a full year (October -September ). This, 19/32
combined with data on precipitation in the region, makes it further possible to assess if the calculated data from -are typical, or perhaps reflects a particularly dry or wet year (see Section 6.2).

The calculated ice free maximum discharge is 0.3 m 3 /s, measured the 8. June. 6.2 Long term discharge The discharge data in Section 6.1 is based on a single year s data. To assess if the calculated data from - are typical, or perhaps reflects a particularly dry or wet year, longer series of discharge series are required. One such data series exists from Lake Taseq close to Narsaq and some 12 km from Fostersø. Here data were collected from 1982 to 1991. These data were compared with precipitation data from Qaqortoq from the same period and a statistic significant correlation was found (Figure 6.4). It can further be calculated that that Taseq has a specific discharge of 42 m 3 /second/km 2 of catchment area. Assuming that the catchment areas of Taseq and Fostersø are comparable as they are both pure precipitation driven without any glacial ablation contribution, the main difference in their discharge is the size of the catchment area (Taseq is 7.4 km 2 while the catchment area of Fostersø is 3.4 km 2 ). 20/32

7 OVERALL WATER BALANCE Based on the estimates of the long term specific runoff from Foster Lake it is possible to calculate the discharge from other adjacent catchments based on the assumption that they represent the same specific runoff. In May the flow in all streams and rivers in the Project were measured within a few days and in a steady discharge situation. The location of each measurement site is shown in Figure 7.1. The objective was to estimate the discharge distribution from the sub-catchments in the area and by this improve the knowledge about the quantitative contribution of water from Laksetværelv and Foster Lake to the recipient Lakseelv. G A F E D C Klimastation B Hydrometristation 0 0.6264 kilometer Figure 7-1 Catchment areas and locations for discharge measurements (red figures) Table 7-1 summarizes the estimated discharge of key watercourses in the Project area based on the measurement campaign in May. From the table it can be calculated that the discharge from Fostersø contribute with c. 20% of the water in Lakseelv at its outlet to the fjord. In addition a further 5% is added from catchment areas downstream Fostersø, so that 25% of the water in Lakseelv at the outlet comes from Laksetværelv. 22/32

On average Fostersø contribute annually with 20% of the water in Lakseelv. In addition further 5% is added from the catchment downstream, which in total is similar to 25% of water from Laksetværelv to Lakseelv. In winter situations with prolonged periods with frost, Fostersø is stopping feeding water to Laksetværelv. Intermediate thaw periods can cause sudden floods from Laksetværelv to Lakseelv.
