Greenland Resources Secures Long-Term Molybdenum Supply Deal with GMH Gruppe

Event summary

  • Greenland Resources signed an MOU with GMH Gruppe for long-term molybdenum supply, covering ferro-molybdenum, molybdenum-oxide, and briquettes.
  • GMH Gruppe is a leading European steel producer with a focus on sustainable steel production using electric arc furnaces.
  • The Malmbjerg project in Greenland has Proven and Probable Reserves of 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS2, containing 571 million pounds of molybdenum metal.
  • The project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) and has an exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium.

The big picture

The deal underscores the strategic importance of securing molybdenum supply for Europe's steel industry, particularly in the context of defense and high-performance steel applications. With the EU classifying molybdenum as a critical raw material and Germany as the largest user in the EU, this partnership aligns with broader efforts to reduce dependency on traditional suppliers like China. The Malmbjerg project's potential to supply 25% of the EU's molybdenum demand highlights its significance in the global critical minerals landscape.
