Why do Denmark need Greenland?
Asking honestly. I googled and it states so they can continue to be an Arctic country. I’m assuming that’s with the intent that drilling will take place in
the Arctic for oil.
All the same, if I think about it purely in terms of geography, Greenland being part of the USA makes more sense. It’s pretty far from Denmark no? Ethnically,
the people are more closely related to indigenous peoples of the Americas. They definitely aren’t Nordic/Scandis like in Denmark.

Trump not acquiring Greenland has been shameful. No reason why Denmark needs it. Denmark doesn’t need to be an Arctic nation.

Btw I’m indifferent on Greenland, but his goal was to get it and now he has failed.

Mining Greenland is hard – but this Aim stock is ready to roll

Mining Greenland is hard – but this Aim stock is ready to roll
After threats of a major trade war between the US and Europe and uncertainty over whether President Trump would support the use of force to take control of
Greenland, fresh tariffs have been taken off the table and annexation rhetoric dialled back (for now). The significant and unexplored mineral resources under
Greenland’s ice is the key context for the administration’s interest in the island.
Trump argues that growing security threats from Russia and China around the Arctic are why Denmark should sell the territory to the US, but reports suggest the
potential deal under discussion could see the US given mining rights in the territory without Danish permission. Investors should take a step back and look at
the administration’s latest national security strategy. A key passage reads that the administration wants to “deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability
to position forces or other threatening capabilities, or to own or control strategically vital assets, in our Hemisphere”.
Of 34 critical minerals the EU views as “strategically important”, 25 are situated in Greenland. Greenland has an “exceptional accumulation” of critical
raw materials in its Garðar province, according to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. There are also oil and gas reserve prospects in Greenland,
although the territory banned new exploration in 2021 because of environmental worries.
The minerals and metals on offer are used in everything from military weapons to electric vehicles. China’s dominance in mining and processing rare earths is
a major concern for the US and Europe. The US administration took stakes in rare earth miners MP Materials (US:MP) and Lithium Americas (US:LAC) last year as it
tries to improve its domestic resilience in critical minerals.
Yet there are risks to the vision of Greenland as a minerals version of El Dorado (the mythical South American lost golden city). The extremely challenging
terrain and limited infrastructure make it very difficult mining territory. It is no surprise that opportunities are under-developed. There are currently 10
exploitation licences but only two active mines.
Energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie argues that “given its harsh conditions and high costs, few miners are likely to put Greenland high on the list of
options”.
While equity opportunities linked to the territory are limited, they do exist. The owner of one of the active mines is Amaroq (AMRQ), an Aim-traded gold and
strategic minerals miner and exploration company with its headquarters in Toronto. Its flagstone asset, the Nalunaq gold mine, produced its first gold in 2024
and it said this month that year-end production of 6,600 ounces (oz) was above the middle of its annual range.
Amaroq is more than a gold producer, though; it is also hunting for strategic minerals such as copper, nickel and rare earths in Greenland. It has described its
Minturn prospect in the north-west as being of potential “international significance” in terms of critical mineral deposits.
Amaroq’s shares have done well of late, up c. 17 per cent this year to date and by more than 70 per cent over the past six months. Recent media comments from
chief executive Eldur Ólafsson about how the US government might invest in its mining ventures have boosted sentiment.
Expectations about Amaroq’s trading prospects are rising. Tim Huff, analyst at joint house broker Canaccord Genuity, this month raised his price target on the
shares by a quarter to 150p. He boosted Ebitda (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) forecasts for 2026 and 2027 by 13 per cent and 21
per cent, respectively.
However, investors should tread carefully. A look at Amaroq’s financials reveals why we described the company in our latest Aim 100 feature as “still in its
early stages as a miner”.
While Amaroq is expected to post positive operating cash flows and turn a profit for the first time this year, it only started to generate revenue in 2025. The
company’s other corporate broker, Panmure Liberum, has pencilled in a reported pre-tax profit of C$67.5mn (£36.2mn) in 2026 and C$166mn in 2027.
The finalising of an improved debt financing package and positive exploration results at Minturn and Nanoq (the latter is the company’s next most important
gold site after Nalunaq) were recent positive developments, but Amaroq’s early-stage nature means a bullish position is inherently on the speculative end of
things.
As 2026 gets going, major questions remain about Amaroq’s prospects, not least whether geopolitical ructions will ultimately boost or damage its cause. The
company’s progress with rare earths is a key thing to keep an eye on, as the miner positions itself as more than just a gold play.
As the future of Arctic security dominates headlines, the European defence sector continues to benefit from rising global tensions. Alpha subscribers can read
