High-Grade Mineralisation Strengthens Amaroq’s Greenland Portfolio
Amaroq recently confirmed high-grade zinc, lead, and silver at the Black Angel mine. Meanwhile, newly identified critical minerals include germanium, gallium, and cadmium. These metals are vital for AI, renewable energy, and defense applications. Consequently, Amaroq’s discovery positions the company strategically within Greenland’s West Greenland Hub.
Re-assay results from bulk samples reveal 24.6% zinc, 28.1% lead, and 295 g/t silver. Additionally, germanium reached 44 ppm, gallium 21 ppm, and cadmium 1,328 ppm. Two of these minerals are listed as critical by the EU and US governments, suggesting strong commercial and geopolitical value. Therefore, Black Angel mine critical minerals could significantly enhance supply chain security.
Strategic Importance of Critical Minerals in Greenland
China currently controls about 98% of gallium and 68% of germanium production. In contrast, Black Angel provides Western markets with an alternative source. As a result, Amaroq expects zinc concentrates to achieve commercial grades of 102 ppm germanium, 48.5 ppm gallium, and 3,040 ppm cadmium. Furthermore, the West Greenland Hub will support long-term mining development and operational logistics through Amaroq’s subsidiary, Suliaq.
Amaroq completed all acquisition conditions and anticipates Greenland government approval in Q4 2025. Site planning and geophysical surveys are underway ahead of the 2026 field season. The Black Angel mine critical minerals project will operate as a standalone development, reinforcing Amaroq’s growth strategy in Greenland’s principal mineral belts.
ScrapInsight Commentary
The Black Angel mine’s critical minerals discovery strengthens Amaroq’s strategic position in Greenland. High-grade zinc, lead, and rare metals could stabilize Western supply chains. Regulatory approval and project development will influence market pricing and advance circular economy opportunities.
