Media spotlight on Alba’s stake in Motzfeldt rare metals project and Greenland’s strategic potential

A feature article in the Mail on Sunday (print edition) and This is Money (online edition) yesterday highlights how rare metals are moving from specialist jargon into mainstream conversations, driven by the energy transition and supply-chain security. The article notes that the global rare earth market is worth around $19bn today and is forecast to reach $36.7bn by 2034, as these elements are used across electric vehicles, smartphones, wind turbines and advanced electronics.

The article refers to Alba’s critical minerals project, Motzfeldt, in south Greenland, and highlights how Alba’s share price has increased by 135% from the start of this year, more than the other rare earth explorers cited in the article.

One key takeaway is concentration risk. The article highlights that China accounts for around 92% of rare earth refining, reinforcing why governments and industry are focused on diversifying supply. It also points to the way investors often treat precious metals as a hedge in uncertain periods, with gold and silver cited as recent beneficiaries of heightened geopolitical and economic noise.

At Alba, our focus remains disciplined and science-led: building high-quality datasets, progressing work on a phased basis, and communicating material updates through RNS and official channels. Responsible Exploration for the Energy Transition.
