Detalles clave de la riqueza mineral de Groenlandia

March 12, 2025 - Se cree que la gran isla, codiciada por el presidente de EUA Donald Trump,contiene recursos minerales sin explotar, pero en una escala global las cantidades son modestas.

Greenland’s rare earths are estimated at 36.1 billion tonnes by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). Demand for these 17 metals vital for the tech industry is expected to surge in the future, and they are also needed for drones, wind turbines, hard drives, electric cars, telescope lenses and fighter jets.

Greenland's soils also contain graphite, lithium, and copper, three minerals defined by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as critical for the energy transition.

The island could also hold hydrocarbons roughly equivalent to 28.43 billion barrels of oil, according to GEUS, Greenland's National Oil Company (Nunaoil), and Greenland’s Mineral Resources Authority, based on industry data, AFP said.
