Energy Transition Minerals has discovered a new 1.8 km-long target in southern Greenland, with characteristics similar to the Kvanefjeld rare earth deposit but with uranium content below the prohibition threshold of 0.01% set by the Greenland government. Last year, the company identified 10 new targets within the Kvanefjeld license area, where rock chip sampling returned total rare earth oxide (TREO) grades of up to 3.97%, with high dysprosium and terbium contents. As climate change reduces permanent snow and ice cover, making previously inaccessible areas reachable, the company has also delineated a new-type volcanic rhyolite anomaly that differs from conventional fenite alteration targets. Energy Transition Minerals is currently seeking to renew the Kvanefjeld license.

Overseas rare earth prices remained largely stable this week, with mediocre trading. The EU adjusted its sanctions list against Russia, giving a green light to Estonia's rare earth processing needs. Aclara expanded its separation scope and commissioned a metallization demonstration plant, Lynas acquired the Caldeira project in Brazil, and LS Group advanced the South Korea-Vietnam ex-China magnet supply chain. In rare earth-free magnets, Niron secured a $150 million loan from the US Department of Defense and investment from Honda, while Moog will jointly showcase related solutions. Indonesia and the US discussed cooperation in rare earths and other areas.
