The agreement aims to provide a sustainable molybdenum supply from Greenland, refined in Belgium for European standards.
30th Mar 2026
Greenland Resources has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ROGESA Roheisen-und Rohstoffgesellschaft Saar, a joint venture of German steel producers Dillinger and Saarstahl, for the future supply of molybdenum.
This agreement is intended to ensure a stable and sustainable source of molybdenum from Greenland, which will be refined in Belgium to meet European industry standards.
The MoU outlines plan for a long-term agreement that will provide Dillinger and Saarstahl with ferro-molybdenum, molybdenum-oxide, and briquettes derived from molybdenum ore mined by Greenland Resources.
These advanced products are sought after by industries such as automotive, construction, power engineering, general mechanical engineering, and other steel processing sectors.
The products from both companies play a crucial role in strategic areas like renewable energy generation, sustainable transport solutions, and defence.
Dillinger manufactures heavy plates used in challenging applications, including oil and gas transport, offshore exploration, wind energy infrastructure, boilers, mechanical engineering, earthmoving machinery, and steel construction.
Saarstahl produces products designed for applications that endure exceptionally harsh conditions.
Europe, the second largest consumer of molybdenum globally, relies heavily on imports as it lacks domestic extraction capabilities.
Germany, the EU’s largest user of molybdenum, lists the metal as a high-risk resource, underscoring its strategic importance.
In response to shared concerns over critical mineral supply chains, Canada and Germany signed a joint declaration of intent last year to enhance co-operation on securing essential resources like molybdenum.
The European Commission’s RESourceEU initiative has previously highlighted the Malmbjerg project in Greenland as a priority EU undertaking.
In September 2025, Greenland Resources signed an MoU with Hempel Metallurgical for the long-term supply of molybdenum to the German steel industry.

Greenland Resources (TSX: MOLY) announced Monday the Canadian government has agreed to contribute C$7 million (approximately $5 million) towards the development of its flagship Malmbjerg project.
With the funding, provided as part of Natural Resources Canada’s Critical Minerals Research, Development and Demonstration program, Canada becomes the first G7 nation to invest in mining in Greenland, the company said in a news release.
Greenland Resources is developing the open-pit Malmbjerg mine in east Greenland, which holds deposits of molybdenum, classified as a critical mineral by both the European Union and the US. Resourceexploration tools
China, which accounts for around 40% of global molybdenum production, imposed export controls on the metal in early 2025, heightening Western concern about supply security.
In February, Greenland Resources secured exclusive rights to an approximate 1,147 km2 land package surrounding the company’s existing exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium in the Semersooq region.
The company’s metallurgical program will evaluate, using Canadian expertise, the feasibility of processing primary molybdenum using saline and fresh water for flotation, as well as assess the potential recovery of magnesium and rare earth element as by-products contained within the Malmbjerg ore body and saline water.
The program will run until March 2028, it said.
Last year, Greenland Resources inked a long-term offtake agreement with Finland’s Outokumpu, the largest producer of stainless steel in Europe, for the supply of molybdenum oxide produced at Malmbjerg.
Once built, the open-pit mine is expected to produce 32.8 million lb. of molybdenum metal annually, which equals roughly a quarter of the EU’s yearly consumption, over its first 10 years, a 2022 feasibility study showed. The total mine life is projected at 20 years.
