Greenland Strategic Assets Network

Independent, source-led reference hub on Greenland’s strategic resources and enabling conditions.

Last updated: Jan 11, 2026

Securing Strategic Supply Chains

Greenland’s mineral potential has become a focal point for supply-chain security, industrial policy, and materials planning. This hub is designed as a neutral reference gateway: definitions, scope, and source-led pointers—focused on constraints and enabling conditions.

Critical Materials

“Minerals” become “materials” through processing, logistics, offtake structures, and regulatory constraints. This section focuses on midstream relevance and supply-chain logic where public sources allow.

The 17 Rare Earth Elements (REE)

In geology and supply-chain reporting, “rare earth elements” refers to a standard set of 17 metals: the 15 lanthanoids (La–Lu) plus scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y). Greenland publications typically report REE distributions using this standard set; economic mixes differ by deposit.

Standard REE list (IUPAC names)

  • Scandium (Sc) — 21
  • Yttrium (Y) — 39
  • Lanthanum (La) — 57
  • Cerium (Ce) — 58
  • Praseodymium (Pr) — 59
  • Neodymium (Nd) — 60
  • Promethium (Pm) — 61
  • Samarium (Sm) — 62
  • Europium (Eu) — 63
  • Gadolinium (Gd) — 64
  • Terbium (Tb) — 65
  • Dysprosium (Dy) — 66
  • Holmium (Ho) — 67
  • Erbium (Er) — 68
  • Thulium (Tm) — 69
  • Ytterbium (Yb) — 70
  • Lutetium (Lu) — 71

Note: Promethium (Pm) is part of the standard REE list; it has no stable isotopes and occurs only in extremely small natural concentrations.

Climate & Access

Arctic access windows, logistics, and climate-linked constraints often determine timelines and capital costs. This section summarizes access dynamics with a risk-first framing.
