Minerals and the ice sheet
GEUS identifies 24 of the EU’s 34 critical raw materials in Greenland. Its 2023 review covers known occurrences, deposit estimates and assessed mineral potential. About 80% of Greenland is ice-covered; its ice-free land exceeds 400,000 square kilometres.1–2
Greenland resources & interests
Research evidence1
Trump has publicly emphasized Greenland’s military access and its role in the proposed Golden Dome missile-defense system. The financial records show a separate securities-to-contractor chain: disclosed Halliburton holdings, Halliburton Energy Services’ consulting agreement with March GL, and March GL’s place within Greenland Energy.1, 3–14
Rare-earth minerals
The Gardar Province in South Greenland includes rare-earth occurrences at Kuannersuit/Kvanefjeld, Kringlerne/Killavaat Alannguat and Motzfeldt. The EURARE research inventory identifies distinct mineral hosts and additional carbonatite occurrences.2, 15
Molybdenum · Malmbjerg
Mineral resource study2
The 2023 GEUS review describes Malmbjerg in East Greenland. It cites a 2022 measured-and-indicated ore estimate of 315 million tonnes at 0.18% molybdenum disulphide, using a 0.08% cutoff. The tonnage describes ore, not contained molybdenum metal.2
