The story

The company's plans became a significant political issue in the 2021 Greenlandic general election. The Inuit Ataqatigiit party called for a moratorium on uranium mining, putting into question the wider rare earth mining project, whilst the Siumut party voiced support, citing economic growth as a key reason. In a survey to determine the public opinion on mining in the Kvanefjeld deposit, 63% opposed such activity, of which 45% were very much against.

The winning bid includes all mining rights, title, and related interests and assets of Strategic Minerals Spain, S.L. which went into administration. On 17 October 2025, the company was confirmed as the preferred and successful buyer by the relevant Spanish insolvency court.
