Citronen Mine
The Citronen mine is one of the largest potential lead and zinc mines in Greenland. The mine is located in Citronen Fjord, Northern Greenland. The mine has reserves amounting to 100 million tonnes of ore grading 2% lead and 3% zinc. The mine was developed by mineral resources company Ironbark Zinc who initially had a nonbinding agreement with the China Nonferrous Metal Mining Group to finance and construct the mine. In 2020, Ironbark Zinc executed a letter of interest for a financing loan from the Export–Import Bank of the United States to develop the project. Initially planning to source financing from both China and the West, the company decided against sourcing from China Nonferrous due to geopolitical factors. In December 2024 Ironbark Zinc sold its interests in the mine for $900,000 to Almeera Ventures Limited based in Dubai. The company has identified the presence of germanium Germanium is a chemical element; it has Symbol (chemistry), symbol Ge and atomic number 32 ...

Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Danish Realm, Kingdom of Denmark. It is by far the largest geographically of three constituent parts of the kingdom; the other two are metropolitan Denmark and the Faroe Islands.

Ironbark Zinc
Ironbark Zinc Limited is an Australian Securities Exchange listed (ASX: IBG) mineral resources company focused on the development of the Citronen mine Zinc Project in Greenland. History The Ironbark company listed on the ASX in August 2006 as Ironbark Gold and in March 2007 acquired the Citronen Project. To reflect its core focus on zinc and the Citronen Project, the company changed its name to Ironbark Zinc in November 2009. Ironbark's goal is to develop the Citronen Project into a major base metal mining operation in Greenland. The project hosts in excess of 10 billion pounds of zinc and lead, and has a JORC-compliant Resource of 55.8 million tonnes at 6.1% zinc and lead. In 2013, Ironbark completed a Definitive Feasibility Study which confirmed the Citronen Project's development potential and in October 2014, the company submitted a Mining License Application for the project. Ironbark has a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with China Non-Ferrous Metal Industry's Fore ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lead
Lead () is a chemical element; it has Chemical symbol, symbol Pb (from Latin ) and atomic number 82. It is a Heavy metal (elements), heavy metal that is density, denser than most common materials. Lead is Mohs scale, soft and Ductility, malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. When freshly cut, lead is a shiny gray with a hint of blue. It tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to air. Lead has the highest atomic number of any stable nuclide, stable element and three of its isotopes are endpoints of major nuclear decay chains of heavier elements. Lead is a relatively unreactive post-transition metal. Its weak metallic character is illustrated by its Amphoterism, amphoteric nature; lead and lead oxides react with acids and base (chemistry), bases, and it tends to form covalent bonds. Lead compounds, Compounds of lead are usually found in the +2 oxidation state rather than the +4 state common with lighter members of the carbon group. Exceptions are mostly limited ...

Zinc
Zinc is a chemical element; it has symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in group 12 (IIB) of the periodic table. In some respects, zinc is chemically similar to magnesium: both elements exhibit only one normal oxidation state (+2), and the Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions are of similar size. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest workable lodes are in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity ( electrowinning). Zinc is an essential trace element for humans, animals, plants and for microorganisms and is necessary for prenatal and postnatal development. It is the second most abundant trace metal in humans after iron, an import ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Germanium
Germanium is a chemical element; it has Symbol (chemistry), symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is lustrous, hard-brittle, grayish-white and similar in appearance to silicon. It is a metalloid or a nonmetal in the carbon group that is chemically similar to silicon. Like silicon, germanium naturally Chemical reaction, reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature. Because it seldom appears in high concentration, germanium was found comparatively late in the Timeline of chemical element discoveries, discovery of the elements. Germanium ranks 50th Abundance of elements in Earth's crust, in abundance of the elements in the Earth's crust. In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev Mendeleev's predicted elements, predicted its existence and some of its Chemical property, properties from its position on his periodic table, and called the element ekasilicon. On February 6, 1886, Clemens Winkler at Freiberg University found the new element, along with silver and sulfur, in the mineral argyrodite. Winkle ...

Citronen Fjord
Citronen Fjord is a fjord in Peary Land, far northern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. The name of the fjord was given by Danish Arctic explorer Eigil Knuth during the Danish Peary Land Expedition of 1947–1950. It was named after Danish freedom fighter Jørgen Haagen Schmith, whose codename was Citronen. History In 1993 zinc and lead deposits were discovered in this fjord. They are considered to be the largest yet unexploited zinc deposits in the world and the exploitation of the Citronen mine is in the preparation phase. Australian Ironbark Zinc corporation and the People's Republic of China are involved in the mine projects of the Citronen Fjord. Geography Citronen Fjord is an offshoot on the southern shore of Frederick E. Hyde Fjord. It is located in Hans Egede Land, from Cape John Flagler, at the fjord entrance. The fjord is roughly oriented in a north–south direction. It is only in length and there is no glacier disc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Export–Import Bank Of The United States
The Export–Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is the official export credit agency (ECA) of the United States federal government. Operating as a wholly owned federal government corporation, the bank "assists in financing and facilitating U.S. Foreign trade of the United States, exports of goods and services", particularly when private sector lenders are unable or unwilling to provide financing. Its current chairman and president, Reta Jo Lewis, was confirmed by the Senate on February 9, 2022. The Export–Import Bank was established in 1934 as the Export-Import Bank of Washington by an executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its stated goal was "to aid in financing and to facilitate exports and imports and the exchange of commodities between the United States and other Nations or the agencies or nationals thereof." The bank's first transaction was a $3.8 million loan to Cuba in 1935 for the purchase of U.S. silver ingots. In 1945, it was made an Independent age ...
