EU Commissioner to visit Amitsoq
GreenRoc Strategic Materials announced that EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen will visit the Amitsoq graphite deposit and planned mine site. The visit highlights the EU's interest in Greenland's critical raw materials, following a partnership agreement signed in February 2024 focused on developing sustainable raw material value chains. The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act identifies 34 materials as critical, with 17 designated as Strategic Raw Materials, including battery-grade natural graphite. GreenRoc's Amitsoq graphite project was designated a Strategic Project in June 2025, potentially streamlining permitting and access to financing. Disclaimer*

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nGreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc / EPIC: GROC / Market: AIM / Sector: Mining\n \n24 September 2025\nGreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc\n(\"GreenRoc\" or the \"Company\")\n \nEU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen to visit Amitsoq\n \nGreenRoc Strategic Materials Plc (AIM: GROC), a company focused on the development of critical mineral projects in Greenland, is pleased to announce that the European Union (\"EU\") Commissioner for Energy, Dan Jørgensen, will be visiting GreenRoc's Amitsoq graphite deposit and planned mine site this week.\n \nDuring the visit, Commissioner Jørgensen will be joined by Malene Vahl Rasmussen, Mayor of Kommune Kujalleq (the South Greenland Municipality), Simon Bojsen-Møller, Head of EU Representation in Nuuk, and Per Haugaard, Head of EU Representation in Denmark.\n \nIn February 2024, the EU and Greenland signed a partnership agreement focused on the development of sustainable raw materials value chains in Greenland. Greenland possesses several of the critical raw materials sought under the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act (\"CRMA\"), making it a key region for the EU's supply chain diversification efforts.\n \nThe CRMA identifies 34 materials as Critical Raw Materials (\"CRMs\"), based on their high economic importance to the EU and significant supply risks. The CRMA further designates a subset of 17 of the 34 CRMs as Strategic Raw Materials (\"SRMs\"). These SRMs are considered particularly vital due to their projected exponential growth in demand, complex production processes, and higher supply risks. The SRM list includes natural graphite (battery grade).\n \nUnder the CRMA, the EU can designate specific mining or processing projects as \"Strategic Projects\", providing these projects with streamlined permitting processes, access to financing, and other forms of support. As previously reported, GreenRoc's Amitsoq graphite project was announced a Strategic Project in June 2025.\n \nGreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:\n \n\"We are delighted to welcome this important delegation to Amitsoq, and to provide them with an in-depth look at our graphite deposit, which we are developing into a future source of this strategic raw material. This visit further underscores the EU's support for our efforts to establish a secure, responsibly sourced supply chain of pro...
