Greenland Mines Enters Strategic Share Exchange Agreement with AnorTech
Greenland Mines has entered into a strategic share exchange agreement with AnorTech, a Greenland-focused technology and resource development company advancing sustainable alumina, high purity alumina, CO2-free cement, and related industrial materials from its 100%-owned Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland. The AnorTech Green Mountain massive anorthosite project in Southwest Greenland is accessible by the deep-water fjord Kangersuneq 80 km northwest of the capital Nuuk and its International Airport. The 'Green Mountain' clear-white deposit can be used to produce sustainable smelter grade alumina, or SGA, and high purity alumina, or HPA, CO2-free cement and related industrial materials. The investment provides Greenland Mines with an initial 9.9% equity position in AnorTech, together with an option to increase its ownership to as much as 19.9% on defined terms over the following six months. AnorTech is developing a proprietary process to produce sustainable smelter grade alumina SGA and HPA from anorthosite, designed to eliminate conventional bauxite-residue tailings and instead generate saleable byproducts. The company believes Gronne Bjerg could, over time, fit naturally into a future North Atlantic processing chain in which bulk material from southwest Greenland is moved by sea for refining or industrial conversion in Iceland.
