Revenue model

1. Molybdenum Product Sales: Revenue from selling molybdenum extracted from the Malmbjerg project. Products include high-quality molybdenum for steel production and defense applications. The company has signed binding long-term offtake agreements with leading steel and chemical companies in Germany, Italy, Austria, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. Materials will be refined in Belgium by partners like Molymet before delivery to customers.
2. By-product Sales (Magnesium and Rare Earth Elements): Potential future revenue stream from selling magnesium and rare earth elements recovered as by-products from molybdenum processing. The company is conducting metallurgical testing to assess feasibility of by-product recovery, which could enhance project economics.

Core offering

Greenland Resources is developing the Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project, a 20-year open-pit mine in east-central Greenland, designed to produce high-quality molybdenum concentrate (~32.8 million pounds/year in years 1-10; 571 million pounds in proven and probable reserves) for sale to European steel and defense manufacturers. The project will also recover magnesium and rare earth elements as by-products from the molybdenum ore body. Refining is conducted at third-party facilities in Belgium (e.g., Molymet) before delivery to end customers in the form of ferro-molybdenum, molybdenum-oxide, and briquettes.

Product overview

Greenland Resources is a Canadian-listed mining company focused on developing the Malmbjerg project, a world-class Climax-type molybdenum mineral deposit with by-product magnesium and rare earth elements. The company operates a single primary product: the Malmbjerg molybdenum mine in east-central Greenland. The project produces molybdenum as its core product, with ongoing development to recover magnesium and rare earth elements as by-products. The company is also implementing autonomous robotic mining systems (BOREAS) for Arctic operations. The mining operation is supported by long-term offtake agreements with European steel producers and is designated as a priority EU critical minerals project under the RESourceEU initiative.

Products and services

• Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project World-class Climax-type open-pit molybdenum mine in east-central Greenland under a 30-year exploitation license (extendable to 50 years). NI 43-101 Definitive Feasibility Study demonstrates 20-year mine life with proven and probable reserves of 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS2, containing 571 million pounds of molybdenum metal. Designed to supply approximately 25% of EU molybdenum demand and 100% of EU defense molybdenum needs.
• Molybdenum Concentrate (Primary Product) High-quality, low-impurity molybdenum concentrate produced via saline and fresh water flotation, intended for use in green energy technologies, high-performance steels, defense applications, and alloyed steels. Average annual production: 32.8 million pounds in years 1-10 at 0.23% MoS2 grade; 24.1 million pounds LOM average. Sold under binding long-term offtake agreements (8-10 year terms) to European steelmakers and chemical companies across seven European countries.
• Magnesium By-Product Magnesium intended to be recovered as a by-product from the Malmbjerg molybdenum ore body using saline and fresh water flotation. Metallurgical testing is underway to evaluate recovery feasibility, leveraging existing molybdenum processing infrastructure to enhance project economics.
• Rare Earth Elements By-Product Rare earth elements identified in reassayed core samples from the Malmbjerg molybdenum ore body. Greenland Resources is exploring potential recovery methods leveraging existing molybdenum processing infrastructure, with metallurgical testing supported by a Canadian government grant.
