Greenland Resources Secures Long-Term Molybdenum Supply Deal with German Steel Giants

Event summary

  • Greenland Resources signed an MOU with ROGESA, a joint subsidiary of Dillinger and Saarstahl, for long-term molybdenum supply.
  • The deal covers ferro-molybdenum, molybdenum-oxide, and briquettes from Greenland's Malmbjerg project, refined in Belgium.
  • Malmbjerg's molybdenum reserves stand at 571 million pounds, with annual production potential of 32.8 million pounds for the first decade.
  • The project is strategically aligned with EU priorities, supplying 25% of EU demand and 100% of EU defense needs.

The big picture

The deal underscores the EU's push to secure critical mineral supply chains, particularly for defense applications. With molybdenum classified as a strategic raw material in Germany and included in Canada's critical minerals list, this partnership aligns with broader geopolitical efforts to diversify supply sources away from China. The Malmbjerg project's high-grade reserves and low-emission profile make it a key asset in the EU's resource strategy.
