Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) is positioning itself as a potential counterweight to China’s overwhelming control of rare earth element supply chains, according to a newly released company podcast featuring president Dr. Bo Møller Stensgaard. The company’s strategy centers on developing two large mineral deposits in Greenland, both outside China’s reach, at a time when Western governments and manufacturers are increasingly concerned about supply security.
China currently mines more than two-thirds of the world’s rare earth elements and processes up to 90% of them. That concentration has given Beijing significant leverage over global markets. Export controls from China have already pushed up prices and disrupted supply chains for the powerful magnets used in cars, wind turbines, and defense systems. Analysts project a 36% global shortfall in neodymium and praseodymium supply by 2030, even when accounting for new production outside China.
Greenland Mines’ (NASDAQ: GRML) wants to be part of the answer. The company’s first project, Skaergaard, is a deposit dominated by palladium and gold. Its second project, Sarfartoq, targets neodymium and praseodymium, two rare earth elements essential for high-strength magnets. During the IBN MiningNewsWire podcast, Stensgaard detailed the company’s strategy, leadership team, and project pipeline, describing Greenland Mines as built specifically around its Greenland assets.
“We have access to North American capital and finance market experts, and we have a management team spanning the U.S., Denmark and Greenland, bringing deep operational, logistical and technical expertise,” Stensgaard said. That combination, he suggested, positions the company to advance from exploration toward production.

The announcement matters because Western governments and manufacturers are actively seeking alternative sources of critical minerals. China’s export controls have exposed the fragility of supply chains for rare earth magnets, which are vital to electric vehicles, renewable energy, and national security applications. A credible non-Chinese source of neodymium and praseodymium could help ease future shortages and reduce price volatility.
Greenland Mines is not yet in production, and the path from exploration to production is typically long and capital-intensive. However, the company’s emphasis on experienced management and access to North American capital markets may improve its chances of navigating permitting, logistics, and financing challenges in Greenland’s remote Arctic environment.
