US-based rare earth developer Critical Metals (Nasdaq: CRML) has moved another step closer to the start of mining at its Tanbreez project in southern Greenland after securing key environmental approvals for the proposed mine site.
On Tuesday, the company said the reports for geochemical test work and mine closure plan for the Hill area at Tanbreez were approved by the Environment Agency for Mineral Resource Activities (EAMRA) following their submission in late September. These reports were drafted by Danish engineering firm NIRAS, a leading environmental consultancy in the Scandinavian region.
According to the company, the Tanbreez resource is hosted within an orebody covering 8 km x 5 km, representing only 1% of the entire 4.7-billion-tonne host rock. Exploration is currently underway to further expand the resource from both deposit areas in support of a bankable feasibility study.
