The 2026 field season represents a transition from conceptual planning to physical engineering. By integrating geotechnical data collection with resource-conversion drilling, the company is shifting its focus toward the technical requirements of pit-wall design and rock-mass characterization. This work is supported by a logistical backbone comprising a dedicated icebreaker and an accommodation vessel, essential for maintaining operations in the demanding Arctic environment.
Greenland Mines Taps Nordisk Fundering for 7,500-Metre Skaergaard Campaign
Greenland Mines Ltd. has contracted Scandinavian specialist Nordisk Fundering to execute a 7,500-metre diamond drilling program at its Skaergaard project in southeast Greenland. The campaign, which utilizes three helicopter-supported rigs, aims to transition the deposit from a large-scale resource toward a development-ready, open-pit mining operation.
Beyond drilling, Greenland Mines is running parallel metallurgical workstreams with GTK Mintec to refine processing flowsheets. This technical push occurs against a backdrop of tightening global supplies for platinum-group metals, which remain heavily concentrated in Russia and South Africa. As Western markets seek to de-risk their supply chains, the Skaergaard project—situated within a stable jurisdiction—is being positioned as a strategic alternative for palladium, gold, and platinum production.
