60° North Greenland ApS

What 60° North Greenland ApS does

60° North Greenland ApS is a Qaqortoq-based, privately held (ApS) services company providing Arctic-grade construction, logistics, drilling, surveying, and consulting to mining operators in southern Greenland. Operationally, the company combines an owned fleet of vessels (Sanatit hotel ship, Atitooq landing craft, and Adolf Jensen) with helicopter and overland transport to reach remote coastal mine sites that are inaccessible by road, supplemented by a Heli 1500 diamond core drilling rig supporting BQ, NQ, and HQ core sizes. Its principal customers are international mining and exploration firms active in Greenland — including Critical Metals Corp (Tanbreez rare earth), European Lithium, Nalunaq Gold Mine, and Amitsoq graphite mine — for which it executes turnkey camp construction and integrated field operations under project-based contracts. The company also operates a fourth revenue stream in agricultural trading, transporting roughly 1,800–2,000 metric tons of feed and fertiliser annually from Denmark to Greenlandic sheep farmers.

The business model is professional services combined with equipment chartering and transactional trading. Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year service contracts and per-shipment fees; pricing is not publicly listed and contracts are negotiated directly. Distribution is exclusively direct: 60° North Greenland engages enterprise mining clients through relationship-driven field sales and serves local customers (farmers, charter clients) through direct relationships. Marketing relies on a multilingual website (Danish, Greenlandic, English) and a Facebook page, with no formal paid or content marketing programs evident.

In March 2026, Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) entered an agreement to acquire a 70% stake in the company, and in May 2026 the Government of Greenland approved the acquisition — satisfying a key closing condition and converting 60° North Greenland into a controlled subsidiary whose strategic alignment is anchored to the Tanbreez rare earth pilot plant project. The company employs 11–50 staff (approximately 11–12 named professionals and trade specialists) and is led by CEO Malik V. Rasmussen, an Arctic engineer from DTU with a valid Greenlandic shotfiring license, alongside COO Bjarke Fuglsang and a department-led operational team covering office management, skilled labour, plumbing, surveying, IT, and facilities.
