For MP Minerals context. Couple months ago from Bloomberg. report from Bloomberg.
‘Greenland’s biggest miner Amaroq Minerals is in talks with several state-backed agencies as Donald Trump’s political spotlight translates into concrete investor interest, the company’s chief executive officer said.
The US and Europe are racing to secure critical minerals and reduce reliance on China, which currently dominates global supply chains for materials used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and defense technologies. Once dismissed as remote and inaccessible, Greenland is gaining strategic relevance as melting ice improves access to its mineral-rich terrain.
Amaroq, which operates a newly opened gold mine and holds the largest portfolio of mineral exploration licenses in Greenland, is in talks with a number of government-backed lenders and institutions in the US and the European Union about state loans, offtake agreements and direct investments, CEO Eldur Olafsson said in an interview. He declined to provide specific names.
“They are looking for ways to either back businesses, back mining projects, back energy projects,” Olafsson said. “They’re looking for ways to secure supply of certain minerals to the US, for example. And we see the same thing on the Danish side and the European side.”
