Energy Transition Metals Challenges Greenland's Ban on Uranium Mining
Energy Transition Metals (ASX:ETM) is contesting Greenland's refusal to issue a new exploration license for its Kvanefjeld Rare Earths Project. The company has launched a high court challenge against Greenland's government, accusing it of using a 2021 ban on uranium mining to block exploration and production. The company's exploration license expired in December 2025, and its application for a rare earth and uranium exploitation permit has been rejected twice. Local opposition due to concerns about radioactive dust and tailings leaks is a significant factor in the government's decision.
