The anorthosite resource was discovered by the Jean Boulle Group’s exploration team in Fiskenæsset on Greenland’s west coast.
The project has been supported through collaboration with local Greenlandic communities, the Greenland Anorthosite Mining team, and investors from the Jean Boulle Group, a French investment firm. Additional backing comes from state investment funds in Greenland and Denmark, the Greenlandic Pension Fund SISA, and Denmark’s Arbejdernes Landsbank. Comprehensive economic, social, and environmental impact assessments have been conducted to guide responsible development.
Wayne Malouf, Chairman of Greenland Anorthosite Mining, stated: “I am pleased the Ministry of Mineral Resources shares our vision of the economic and social potential that this project presents. We are proud to pave the way for responsible natural resource development in Greenland after a sustained investment in patient and diligent activities during the preceding 20 years. The project will generate significant benefits for the local community and support the region’s economic and social development for many years by facilitating the responsible supply of raw materials to serve global customers.”
Anorthosite, a grey-white rock rich in aluminum, silicon, and calcium, was discovered by the Jean Boulle Group’s exploration team in Fiskenæsset, western Greenland. Technical analysis by SRK and ALS confirms the deposit’s high quality and low alkali content, making it ideal for E-glass production used in transportation, construction, and renewable energy sectors. The mining and processing of anorthosite are energy-efficient, produce no harmful waste, and support environmentally friendly fiberglass and aluminum production compared to traditional materials like kaolin and bauxite. By-products, such as crushed rock for road construction and recyclable metallic residues, further enhance sustainability.
The project is expected to boost local economic growth and create opportunities for communities in western Greenland while supplying high-quality materials to global markets. By prioritizing low-impact mining practices, Greenland Anorthosite Mining contributes to sustainable resource development and supports the region’s long-term economic and environmental goals.
