London-based Polar Research and Policy Initiative said that China controls about 90% of the supply of rare earths.

Greenland has huge deposits of rare earths, a set of 17 minerals used in a myriad of applications from electric vehicles to defense goods, a report by the London-based Polar Research and Policy Initiative said.

The Five Eyes grouping of Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, should expand its framework to include “resource intelligence, technical collaboration, major project financing and supply chain integration for minerals and materials critically important to national and economic security,” the report said.

It is natural for the Five Eyes to target Greenland for its mining and rare earth potential because two thirds of the 41 license holders in Greenland’s mining sector were linked to Britain, Canada and Australia, the report added.

Two Australia-based mining companies are racing for approval for mines in Greenland to dig into what the US Geological Survey calls the world’s biggest undeveloped deposits of rare earth metals.
