Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) has entered into a strategic share exchange agreement with AnorTech Inc. (TSX.V: ANOR) (OTCQB: ANORF), acquiring an initial 9.9% equity interest in the Greenland-focused technology and resource development company. The agreement includes an option to increase its ownership to as much as 19.9% within six months, according to a press release. The investment supports Greenland Mines' North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor strategy and provides exposure to AnorTech's sustainable alumina, high-purity alumina, CO2-free cement, and industrial materials technologies derived from its Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland.
The transaction expands Greenland Mines' reach beyond upstream resource development into the midstream processing segment of the critical materials value chain. AnorTech is advancing a proprietary process designed to produce sustainable smelter-grade alumina and high-purity alumina from anorthosite while eliminating conventional bauxite-residue tailings. This positions Greenland Mines to benefit from downstream processing capabilities critical to the supply chain for rare earth magnet materials and other strategic minerals, aligning with its broader North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor vision linking Greenland resources with allied downstream jurisdictions and industrial infrastructure.
Greenland Mines Ltd. is a Nasdaq-listed company with two operating divisions: Mining, focused on the exploration and development of the Skaergaard Project in southeast Greenland and, subject to closing of a previously announced transaction, the Sarfartoq neodymium-praseodymium (Nd-Pr) rare earths project in southwest Greenland; and Biotech, including Klotho’s KLTO-202 primary indication for ALS. The company’s strategy is centered on building a multi-asset platform with exposure to rare earth magnet materials, precious metals, and selected midstream processing opportunities.

The transaction is expected to close by June 30, subject to customary closing conditions, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. This move underscores the growing importance of securing midstream processing capabilities for critical minerals, as global demand for rare earth elements and sustainable materials intensifies. By investing in AnorTech's innovative processing technology, Greenland Mines is positioning itself to capture value across the entire critical materials supply chain, from resource extraction to processing, while supporting environmentally sustainable practices.
