Greenland Resources Secures 8-Year Molybdenum Supply Deal with SSAB
Event summary
- Greenland Resources signed an 8-year off-take agreement with SSAB to supply high-quality, low-carbon ferromolybdenum.
- SSAB, a Nordic and US-based steel producer, will secure a stable molybdenum supply from Greenland's Malmbjerg project.
- The Malmbjerg project has Proven and Probable Reserves of 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS2, containing 571 million pounds of molybdenum metal.
- The project is strategically located to supply approximately 25% of the EU's annual molybdenum demand and 100% of EU defence needs.
The big picture
This deal underscores the strategic importance of securing molybdenum supplies for the EU's defence and high-performance steel applications. With China dominating global molybdenum production and imposing export controls, Greenland Resources' Malmbjerg project offers a critical alternative. The agreement also highlights the growing emphasis on low-carbon and responsibly sourced materials in the steel industry.
