Greenland has awarded a 30-year mining license to Greenland Resources for the Malmbjerg molybdenum project in its eastern region. The project is set to play a strategic role in strengthening Europe’s supply chain for defense-grade steel and other high-performance applications.
Molybdenum is a vital alloying element that enhances steel’s strength, heat resistance, and corrosion protection—making it essential for military, aerospace, energy, and clean technology industries. The mine is expected to produce around 32.8 million pounds of molybdenum concentrate annually, enough to meet nearly 25% of Europe’s current demand.
The project comes at a critical time as global molybdenum supply is dominated by China, which accounts for about 40% of production and has recently tightened export controls. Greenland’s move offers the European Union a more secure and independent source of this key material.
Backed by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA), Greenland Resources has signed supply agreements with leading steel producers in Finland and Italy, ensuring direct integration into the region’s manufacturing ecosystem.
Beyond its industrial impact, the project is expected to generate significant economic benefits for Greenland, including job creation and infrastructure development, all while adhering to strict environmental and community standards.
The approval marks a significant step in Europe’s effort to secure critical raw materials and strengthen its industrial and defense capabilities.
