Greenland Mines (NASDAQ:GRML) has announced it has formed a Strategic Advisory Board to support the development of its rare earth and precious metals projects in Greenland.
The company has appointed Constantine Karayannopoulos, Thomas Abraham-James, and Bent Olsvig Jensen as the board’s first three members. It plans to add another two or three members.
Greenland Mines says the advisory board will provide input on technical studies, permitting, project development, commercial partnerships, processing, and engagement with Greenlandic authorities and communities.
Karayannopoulos has more than 30 years of experience across rare earths, critical minerals, and advanced materials. He previously served as CEO of Neo Performance Materials (TSX:NEO) and was involved in its earlier assessment of the Sarfartoq Neodymium-Praseodymium Rare Earth Project.
Abraham-James is a geologist and public company executive who managed Greenland exploration programs between 2008 and 2010 and worked directly on the Skaergaard Palladium-Platinum-Gold Project.
Olsvig Jensen has about 30 years of leadership and operational experience in Greenland. His background covers mine development, Arctic logistics, permitting, workforce management, community engagement, and mineral exports.
President Bo Møller Stensgaard says the appointments follow Greenland Mines’ completion of the Sarfartoq acquisition and its recent field and resource programs.
“The advisory board will be a practical sounding board for strategy, development sequencing, and execution,” Stensgaard says.
The company completed its acquisition of Sarfartoq on 1 September after receiving approval from the Government of Greenland. It is working towards an exploitation licence application and a Prefeasibility Study for the project.
“We are now advancing from resource definition and data collection into the next stage of technical studies, permitting, commercial engagement, and integrated development planning,” Stensgaard notes.
The board is expected to also advise on work at Skaergaard and the company’s proposed North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor, which remains subject to technical, commercial, environmental, and economic studies.
Greenland Mines is a US-listed resource developer focused on Sarfartoq in southwest Greenland and Skaergaard in the country’s southeast.
