Powering Tomorrow’s Technology
Greenland’s Major Technology Project, Built in Partnership with Greenland’s People
One of Greenland’s largest Rare Earth projects
The SILA Technology Project, developed by Greenland Strategic Minerals A/S, is set to become one of the largest rare earths mine in Greenland.
With a scalable capacity reaching 3.0 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), the SILA Technology Project will deliver critical minerals essential to modern technology and sustainable energy.
“SILA” comes from the Greenlandic word meaning air, sky, weather, and the natural world. In Inuit culture, it also signifies balance, wisdom, and the spirit that connects people to the environment. The name reflects our commitment to developing the SILA Project responsibly and in harmony with Greenland’s land, climate, and communities.
Key Milestone: The Exploitation Licence application will be formally submitted to the Mineral Licence and Safety Authority (MLSA) in early 2026, marking a major step toward one of Greenland’s largest rare earths development.
Scalable Development, World‑Class Potential in Southern Greenland
The SILA Project is located on the southern margin of Kangerluarsuk Fjord, giving it natural deep‑water access and proximity to Narsaq, Qaqortoq, and Narsarsuaq Airport. This location provides year‑round maritime access.
Southern Greenland’s relatively mild Arctic climate and highly prospective uniform geology reduce construction cost, while the project’s phased development strategy — starting at 0.5 Mtpa and scaling to 3.0 Mtpa within three years — allows early cash flow and staged capital deployment.
Infrastructure is compact and efficient: a processing plant near the deposit, dry‑stack tailings facilities, a diesel power station with renewable integration potential, and port facilities for direct concentrate export. Camp facilities are designed to support Greenlandic workforce participation, reinforcing the project’s partnership with local communities.
By combining proposed chemical‑free processing, transparent government reporting, and early engagement with Kommune Kujalleq, SILA aligns with Greenland’s policy for responsible, low‑impact resource development. Its competitive advantage lies in lower CAPEX/OPEX, reduced environmental footprint, and the ability to scale cleanly to full capacity — positioning Greenland as a strategic supplier of critical metals to Western markets.
