About the SW Greenland Multi-Commodity Project

Ivigtût is located in southwestern Greenland and has a power station and fuel supplies to service this station and local traffic to support mineral exploration. About 5.5km to the northeast of Ivigtût, the settlement of Kangilinnguit provides a heliport and an active wharf with infrastructure. The Grønnedal carbonatite-syenite complex is less than 10km from Ivigtût and only 5km from the port at Kannilinnguit. This complex is one of the 12 larger Gardar Province alkaline intrusions in Greenland and is recognised by GEUS as one of Greenland’s prime REE targets along with Kvanefjeld and Kringlerne (Tanbreez).

The Gardar Province of southwest Greenland constitutes one of the best-endowed REE provinces worldwide. It represents an ancient continental rift zone that was active between 1,330 and 1,140 Ma (i.e., Mesoproterozoic era). Gardar Province magmatism produced a raft of extrusive and intrusive rocks, including kilometre-scale alkaline complexes that are among the world’s largest alkaline ore deposits. The Ivigtût mineralised system, spatially and genetically associated with an evolved alkaline complex of the Gardar Province, formed 1.3 billion years ago as cooling hydrothermal fluids moved through the Earth’s crust.
