Here's why the recent Saudi interest in Greenland, combined with Saudi's drive to secure global mineral assets, could become fortuitous for 80M.
Copper + Nickel
'80M's Disko project, known for its Norilsk-style mineralisation, is considered one of the most promising targets for copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals in Greenland.'
'Manara Minerals Investment Company (Manara) is a new (2023) venture between the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden) and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) to invest in mining assets globally and support the development of resilient global supply chains.'
Currently focused on copper, lithium, nickel and iron ore.
'The most interesting part of the ongoing strategy is outside of the Kingdom.
Since 2023, when Manara Minerals, a JV between PIF and Ma’aden, was established as its dedicated outbound mining arm, significant investments have been made. Manara’s mandate is unequivocal; the company will need to buy into copper, nickel, lithium, and rare-earth assets abroad and use those stakes to secure long-term offtake for the kingdom’s future industries. Main clients inside the Kingdom will be electric vehicles, batteries, data centers, and defence.'
