The Kvanefjeld Rare Earth Project is one of the most significant and advanced emerging rare earth projects globally. The Project is unique with respect to its favourable metallurgy and forecast production profile across all commercially important rare earths. Kvanefjeld is located near existing infrastructure in southern Greenland with yearround direct shipping access to the project area. The scope of the Kvanefjeld Project impact assessments was defined by the Terms of Reference that were approved in 2015, following public consultation. Rare earth elements are critical to the electric vehicle revolution, as well as many other energy efficient applications. The Kvanefjeld Project is forecast to be a globally significant producer of all commercially important rare earth elements including neodymium, praseodymium, terbium and dysprosium, over an initial 37year mine life. These rare earths are used to make high powered permanent magnets that are utilised in electric vehicles, along with many other applications. Kvanefjeld is wellplaced to meet the major surge in rare earth demand that will be generated by the transition to electric vehicles, along with growth in renewable energy. Greenland Minerals Ltd. has an internationally diverse shareholder base. The largest shareholder (9.5%) is Shenghe Resources Holding Co Ltd, a leading international rare earth company that supplies enduser industries globally with high purity rare earth metals and oxides. Shenghe have also played a key role in the successful restart of the Mountain Pass rare earth mine in the United States.
