Greenland Mines Assembles Technical Team for $68B Skaergaard PGM-Gold Deposit
Event summary
- Greenland Mines assembled a world-class technical team in five weeks, including SLR Consulting, GTK Mintec, and WSP for its $68B Skaergaard PGM-gold deposit.
- The company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent for a downstream processing hub in Iceland targeting power costs below $0.03/kWh.
- Skaergaard hosts 25.4 Moz palladium-equivalent and 23.5 Moz gold-equivalent, with a gross undiscounted in-situ resource value of approximately $68 billion at February 2026 metal prices.
- Bank of America raised its 2026 platinum forecast to $2,450/oz and palladium to $1,725/oz, citing persistent market deficits.
The big picture
Greenland Mines' rapid assembly of a technical team for the Skaergaard deposit positions it at the intersection of structural PGM undersupply and Western efforts to secure critical mineral supply chains. The company's strategic focus on low-cost processing in Iceland aligns with broader industry trends towards regionalized, sustainable resource development. With major banks revising price forecasts upwards due to persistent market deficits, Greenland Mines' $68B deposit could become a key player in the PGM complex.
