ERMA, managed by EIT RawMaterials, brings together stakeholders from across the raw‑materials value chain – including mining and exploration companies, processing and recycling firms, OEMs, technology providers, research organisations, investors, regions and NGOs – to identify investment cases, remove barriers, and support the development of resilient, low‑carbon supply chains for critical raw materials, advanced materials and processing know‑how. The alliance plays a central role in implementing the EU's Action Plan on Critical Raw Materials and supports emerging initiatives under the new EU Critical Raw Materials Act.
Bo Møller Stensgaard, Ph.D., Greenland Mines Ltd President, commented: "Joining the European Raw Materials Alliance with both Greenland Mines and Major Precious Greenland A/S is an important step in positioning Skaergaard where it belongs: at the heart of the European, North American and transatlantic discussion on secure, low‑carbon critical‑raw‑materials supply. ERMA is the central industrial ecosystem for critical raw materials in
"Our strategy is to build a North Atlantic critical‑minerals corridor that links world‑class geology in
While EU Strategic Mineral Project designations under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act are decided by the European Commission through a formal application process, ERMA serves as an investment pipeline and support platform for high‑potential raw‑materials projects aligned with those objectives, helping to identify and mature investment cases across the value chain.
Aligning Skaergaard with
Membership in ERMA positions the Skaergaard Gold, Palladium, Platinum and Critical Metals Project squarely within the European conversation on critical‑raw‑materials security, value‑chain resilience and industrial competitiveness. ERMA's stated objectives include:
- Diversifying
Europe's supply of critical and strategic raw materials from both primary and secondary sources - Identifying and supporting investment projects along the full value chain, from mining and processing to recycling and circular‑economy solutions
- Creating industrial clusters and partnerships that can accelerate project development and deployment
For Greenland Mines, ERMA membership provides a structured platform to:
- Engage directly with European industrial users in sectors such as automotive, energy, defence, aerospace and high‑tech manufacturing, where PGMs and other Skaergaard metals play key roles
- Explore options for strategic partnerships, offtake frameworks and co‑investment concepts that can support the advancement and de‑risking of the Skaergaard Project
- Contribute to broader discussions on how Greenland and the wider North Atlantic region can support
Europe's critical‑raw‑materials and climate objectives
ERMA has already shown its willingness to support high‑potential raw‑materials projects in
Connecting to the North Atlantic critical‑minerals corridor
The Company's entry into ERMA complements its recently announced North Atlantic Processing Site Strategy, under which Skaergaard ore would be mined and pre‑processed in
