Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) ("Critical Metals Corp." or the "Company"), a leading critical mineral mining company, today announced that it has received formal approval from the Government of Greenland, acting through the Ministry responsible for land and infrastructure, for its previously announced acquisition of a majority interest in 60° North Greenland ApS ("60° North").
The Ministry has affirmatively granted permission for the Company to acquire 70% of the shares in 60° North ApS, thereby indirectly acquiring title to the associated land and asset portfolio referenced in the Company's application.
The approval satisfies a key closing condition of the transaction announced on March 23, 2026 and represents a significant milestone in the Company's strategy to expand its operational footprint in Greenland.
Strategic Highlights:
- Enhances in-country operational capabilities and infrastructure
- Provides direct access to Arctic logistics and field services
- Supports the accelerated development of the Tanbreez project
Tony Sage, Chairman and CEO of Critical Metals Corp., commented:
"Receiving approval from the Greenland authorities marks an important step toward completing our acquisition of 60° North. This outcome reflects our commitment to responsible development in Greenland and to building a secure, western-aligned supply chain for critical minerals."
With government approval secured, Critical Metals expects to finalize the acquisition in the near term. The transaction will further strengthen the Company's position in southern Greenland, where it holds a controlling interest in the Tanbreez Project—one of the world's largest rare earth deposits.
