EU Commissioner to visit Amitsoq

GreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc (AIM: GROC), a company focused on the development of critical mineral projects in Greenland, is pleased to announce that the European Union ("EU") Commissioner for Energy, Dan Jørgensen, will be visiting GreenRoc's Amitsoq graphite deposit and planned mine site this week.

During the visit, Commissioner Jørgensen will be joined by Malene Vahl Rasmussen, Mayor of Kommune Kujalleq (the South Greenland Municipality), Simon Bojsen-Møller, Head of EU Representation in Nuuk, and Per Haugaard, Head of EU Representation in Denmark.

In February 2024, the EU and Greenland signed a partnership agreement focused on the development of sustainable raw materials value chains in Greenland. Greenland possesses several of the critical raw materials sought under the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act ("CRMA"), making it a key region for the EU's supply chain diversification efforts.

The CRMA identifies 34 materials as Critical Raw Materials ("CRMs"), based on their high economic importance to the EU and significant supply risks. The CRMA further designates a subset of 17 of the 34 CRMs as Strategic Raw Materials ("SRMs"). These SRMs are considered particularly vital due to their projected exponential growth in demand, complex production processes, and higher supply risks. The SRM list includes natural graphite (battery grade).

Under the CRMA, the EU can designate specific mining or processing projects as "Strategic Projects", providing these projects with streamlined permitting processes, access to financing, and other forms of support. As previously reported, GreenRoc's Amitsoq graphite project was announced a Strategic Project in June 2025.

GreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:

"We are delighted to welcome this important delegation to Amitsoq, and to provide them with an in-depth look at our graphite deposit, which we are developing into a future source of this strategic raw material. This visit further underscores the EU's support for our efforts to establish a secure, responsibly sourced supply chain of processed graphite for Europe's automotive and defence industries."
