- In February 2025, Greenland Resources signed a ten-year offtake agreement with Outokumpu to supply molybdenum from its Malmbjerg project in East Greenland. The deal will deliver around 8 million pounds of molybdenum annually, covering nearly half of Outokumpu’s needs. This agreement helps Greenland Resources secure financing and boosts Outokumpu’s raw material security. It also supports emission reduction goals and strengthens Europe’s molybdenum supply chain
- In June 2022, Rio Tinto inaugurated Gudai-Darri, its most technologically advanced iron ore mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The $3.1 billion project features autonomous trucks, trains, drills, and the world’s first autonomous water trucks, along with a robotic ore sampling laboratory and a digital twin of the processing plant. A 34 MW solar farm powers about one-third of the mine’s electricity needs, reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 90,000 tonnes annually. At full capacity, Gudai-Darri aims to produce 43 million tonnes of Pilbara Blend iron ore per year, supporting Rio Tinto’s long-term production and sustainability goals
