NUUK, Greenland, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lumina Greenland announced that they had received another mining license in relation to their expanded development work in Rare Earth minerals development and exploration. The Rare Earths group at Lumina has been working on rare earths and critical minerals in Greenland for over two years now and is part of the $100 million Lumina Mining Group which is the largest exporter of critical minerals from Greenland today.
Lumina’s plans for exploration and expansion of various critical minerals in Greenland tie into the company’s strategy of leveraging its existing large mining operations on the west coast of Greenland to provide support, primary processing and shipping and logistics support for the new critical minerals developments by the company around Greenland. As part of our on-going critical minerals strategy, Lumina also recently received funding support from the US Government in the form of a $125 million Letter of Intent from EXIM Bank.
Lumina’s rare earth focus is on a combination of light rare earths including Gallium and Germanium and we expect to be exporting the first of these materials by early in 2027. Separately we are developing a critical minerals processing plant, initially for Antimony, at our Jeffersonville site in Indiana.
