Greenland Mines Ltd (NASDAQ: GRML) has announced an independently prepared S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary (TRS) for its Sarfartoq Nd-Pr Rare Earths Project in southwest Greenland. This marks the first time the project has reported a portion of its resource in the Indicated Mineral Resource category under an SEC-recognized reporting standard, a significant step toward establishing the project's economic viability.
The report, prepared by Tetra Tech Canada Inc. and GeoSim Services Inc. with an effective date of July 31, 2026, provides Sarfartoq's first combined open pit and underground resource estimate. Under the hybrid scenario, which Greenland Mines considers the most representative view of the project's development potential, Sarfartoq contains an Indicated Mineral Resource of 6.9 million tonnes grading 1.60% total rare earth oxides (TREO) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.3 million tonnes grading 0.96% TREO, totaling approximately 12.2 million tonnes at 1.32% TREO. The company notes that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The TRS incorporates data from the project's 2023 infill drilling and 2026 metallurgical test work and provides underground, open pit, and hybrid mining scenarios. Greenland Mines said the report establishes the technical foundation for planning toward an updated Initial Assessment, subject to closing its previously announced acquisition of Neo North Star Resources Inc., the Sarfartoq license holder. As part of that transaction, Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO) will become a strategic Greenland Mines shareholder and retain offtake rights on up to 60% of future Sarfartoq ore or mineral concentrate production.
This development is important because it de-risks the Sarfartoq project by providing a credible resource estimate under a modern reporting standard, which is essential for securing financing and partnerships. The hybrid mining scenario suggests that the project can be developed using both open pit and underground methods, potentially optimizing extraction and reducing environmental footprint.
Greenland Mines is a Nasdaq-listed company with two operating divisions: Mining, focused on the exploration and development of the Skaergaard Project in southeast Greenland and, subject to closing of the previously announced transaction, the Sarfartoq neodymium-praseodymium (Nd-Pr) rare earths project in southwest Greenland; and Biotech, including Klotho's KLTO-202 primary indication for ALS. The company's strategy is centered on building a multi-asset platform with exposure to rare earth magnet materials, precious metals and selected midstream processing opportunities, while advancing its broader North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor vision linking Greenland resources with allied downstream jurisdictions and industrial infrastructure.
The announcement comes at a time when global demand for rare earth elements, particularly neodymium and praseodymium used in permanent magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines, is surging. Greenland Mines' progress on Sarfartoq could help diversify the supply chain away from current dominant producers.
