Rare earth explorer Greenland Minerals (GGG) has appointed Jørn Skov Nielsen as Executive General Manager.
Jørn, who is based in Nuuk, Greenland, will help drive activities relating to GGG’s Kvanefjeld rare earth project, as well as commercial developments in Europe.
He has extensive knowledge of Greenland’s business and environment and this appointment comes at a significant time to boost in-country leadership.
“I look forward to be part of the high-quality work undertaken by Greenland Minerals in the development of a project with far-reaching strategic and commercial significance for Greenland on a global scale,” Jørn said.
“It is a unique industrial project that has the potential to become a world leader in the extraction of rare earth metals, thus contributing to improved energy efficiency, increasing renewable power generation capacity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a world scale,” he added.
Jørn is an economist with more than 10 years of experience in a range of senior roles.
His most influential role was Deputy Minister for the industry, energy, trade and mineral resources sectors, where he led government bodies and presented to international audiences to promote Greenland and attract investment.
Jørn also oversaw the negotiations that led to the privatisation of publicly owned supermarket businesses.
“The appointment of Jørn Skov Nielsen is a fantastic development for Greenland Minerals, and is a key step in building our in-country capacity in order to develop a globally-significant international rare earth business for Greenland,” Managing Director Dr John Mair commented.
“It is a rare opportunity to have an individual with so much relevant experience step in to play an important role in achieving a successful development outcome,” he said.
GGG is up an even eight per cent and shares are trading for 13.5 cents each at 1:27 pm AEST.
