GreenRoc aims to develop and fast-track its exciting portfolio of high-grade critical minerals projects in Greenland, including the flagship projects containing graphite and ilmenite, into production.
GreenRoc has an abundance of minerals classed as vital for the global transition to net zero, including high grade graphite, which is a central component of EV batteries, solar panels and energy storage devices. Our aim is to leverage our deep management experience in Greenland and emerge as a key supplier of high demand critical minerals to fast growing European, North American, and world markets.
The Amitsoq Graphite Project in southern Greenland has a significant Maiden Ore Resource of 8.28 million tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 19.75%, giving a total graphite content of 1.63Mt, making it one of the highest-grade graphite projects in the world. Our independent test work on Amitsoq graphite has confirmed that it can be upgraded to high-purity spherical graphite (>99.95% C) for use in lithium-ion batteries and the electric vehicle (EV) sector.
In northern Greenland, GreenRoc has a cluster of three mining projects.
Thule Black Sands comprises high-grade mineral sands over a 10 km stretch of coastline and has a resource which is already sufficient to sustain a 10-year mine life at a mining rate of 1.5 million tonnes per annum.
The iron ore at Melville Bay has potential for Direct Shipping Ore, and significant potential for expansion of the current JORC resource of 63 million tonnes @ 31.4% Fe.
Lastly, extensive historic exploration has reported the presence of cobalt, copper, gold, vanadium and nickel at the Inglefield Multi-Element Project, with the potential for the project to host iron oxide copper gold ore (IOCG) deposits.

GreenRoc’s wholly-owned Thule Black Sands (TBS) Project is a heavy mineral sands project located on the Steensby Land peninsular in north-west Greenland.
The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, GEUS, has estimated that 10 billion tonnes of ilmenite exist in the original rock within the entire Thule region, with a further 7 billion tonnes of ilmenite present in the form of placer ilmenite.
An extensive surface drilling campaign in 2018 led to the declaration of a maiden Mineral Resource for Thule Black Sands.
Extensive follow-up drilling was completed in the summer of 2021, with the aim of substantially increasing and upgrading the existing Mineral Resource at TBS.
The Amitsoq Graphite Project is located in the Nanortalik region of southern Greenland and is one of the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world, with a total inferred, indicated and measured JORC Resource of 23.05 million tonnes at an average grade of 20.41% Graphitic Carbon, giving a total graphite content of 4.71 Mt. The Resource contains a lower graphite layer that has a JORC resource of 16.88Mt at a grade of 21.51% with 3.634Mt of contained graphite.
Amitsoq and Kalaaq are two of the highest-graded graphite projects in the world.
