This is the 45th listing on Euronext in 2026 and the 14th new listing on Euronext Oslo Børs' marketplaces this year.

Polar Resources currently holds exploration licences covering four areas of Central Norway that have reported occurrences of copper and zinc mineralisation. The company is also selectively pursuing oil and gas acquisitions with an initial geographical focus on Europe, Latin America and South-East Asia. Polar Resources is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
