US EditionGreenland Signs Lucrative Minerals Deal with Europe in Blow to Trump
- On May 21, 2025, Greenland granted a 30-year mining permit to a European consortium to extract anorthosite from the island.
- This contract follows rising interest in Greenland's mineral potential and coincides with reduced public discussion by US President Trump about buying Greenland.
- The consortium, backed by Greenlandic and Danish governments plus the Jean Boulle Group, plans to open the mine within five years as Greenland's third operational mine.
- Anorthosite, a white rock mainly containing aluminium, has potential to replace bauxite in aluminium production and is considered more sustainable for fibreglass manufacture.
- The contract may mark the start of increased European investment in Greenland’s largely untapped mineral resources, indicating long-term industrial and economic development.
