The Citronen mine is one of the largest potential lead and zinc mines in Greenland. [1] The mine is located in Citronen Fjord, Northern Greenland. [1] The mine has reserves amounting to 100 million tonnes of ore grading 2% lead and 3% zinc. [1]
The mine is currently being developed by mineral resources company Ironbark Zinc. The company has a nonbinding agreement with the China Nonferrous Metal Mining Group to finance and construct the mine. [2] [3] 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. [4] [5] Initially planning to source financing from both China and the West, the company decided against sourcing from China Nonferrous due to geopolitical factors. [6]
The company has identified the presence of germanium in the Citronen ore with further assaying underway. [7]
