In June, the US Export-Import Bank offered a $120 million loan to advance the development of the $290 million Tanbreez rare earth project in Southern Greenland.

In January, GreenRoc Strategic Materials, a developer focused on graphite in Greenland, announced that EIFO had expressed an interest in providing funding for its Amitsoq graphite project in Southern Greenland. The Amitsoq project was subsequently designated as an EU strategic project, granting access to funding and support from EU Member States and financial institutions.
