European Lithium – The rush for critical metals

Securing supply chains for critical metals is at the heart of global strategies. Greenland, once a scientific backwater, is now at the center of geopolitical interests with its deposits of rare earths, nickel, cobalt, and graphite. These metals are indispensable for batteries, electronics, and defense technologies. While the EU is strengthening its autonomy with the Raw Materials Act passed in 2023 and new partnerships, the US government under President Trump is focusing on protectionist control and direct access to resources. The announcements from the White House sound rather aggressive in this regard. Market participants should assume that, in case of doubt, the US will make a clean sweep – even in the most remote locations that allow access. European Lithium (WKN: A2AR9A | ISIN: AU000000EUR7 | Ticker: PF8 | ASX: EUR) is positioning itself in this environment with two key deposits: rare earths in Greenland and lithium in Europe, including Ukraine. The Company thus connects two geostrategic hotspots and is considered a potential winner in the new race for raw materials.
