Itinnera Solutions ApS, which was established in 2023 by professor of geology Minik Rosing, received the self-government's raw material award "prospector of the year" on Monday at the raw material fair PDAC in Toronto.
Itinnera Solutions and its subsidiary Rock Flour Company have three exploration licenses in Greenland: Ilulialik in Nuukfjorden, in Sermilik and at Frederikshåb Isblink near Paamiut, where they are investigating whether the nutrient-rich fine glacial flour, which is formed when the ice sheet moves over the rocky ground, can be used as fertilizer and for CO2 capture.
The goal is to start the first large-scale experiments with agriculture in 2026.
Innovative and innovative
The Mineral Resources Award was presented by Naalakkersuisoq for Industry, Raw Materials, Trade, Justice and Gender Equality, Naaja H. Nathanielsen (IA), who, among other things, highlighted the company's ability to think differently and innovatively. - In Greenland, we are proud of our natural resources. We are equally proud of our responsibility to use them wisely. The future of mining is not only about extracting more. It is also about understanding more, rethinking more and wasting less. Innovation and mining do not always mean digging deeper. Sometimes you have to think differently.
A sign of trust
For the company, the award is both a physical reminder of the collaboration with the self-government on the project, but also a sign of trust. – It is a great recognition of our work. It is a special project, but it is nice to know that the self-government has confidence in us, said operations manager Eliot Booth after the award ceremony.
Previous years the award has gone to Amaroq Minerals, Greenland Resources, Bluejay Mining, Tanbreez, North American Nickel, London Mining and Ironbarks Zinc, among others.
