Greenland Mines Joins ERMA to Strengthen Critical Minerals Supply Chain

Event summary

  • Greenland Mines and its subsidiary Major Precious Greenland A/S joined the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) on May 5, 2026.
  • ERMA is an industry-driven alliance established by the European Commission to secure sustainable access to critical raw materials.
  • The Skaergaard Project, with 25.4 Moz PdEq and 23.5 Moz AuEq, is positioned within Europe's critical raw materials agenda.
  • Greenland Mines aims to build a North Atlantic critical-minerals corridor linking Greenland's geology with Iceland's low-carbon processing.

The big picture

Greenland Mines' entry into ERMA aligns with Europe's push for secure, low-carbon critical raw materials supply chains. The move complements its North Atlantic Processing Site Strategy, aiming to link Greenland's mineral resources with Iceland's geothermal processing. This positions the Skaergaard Project as a strategic asset for both Europe and North America, addressing industrial competitiveness and climate objectives.
