US-Saudi venture to refine rare earths from Greenland

  • Preliminary deal on $1.5bn facility
  • To process rare earths from Tanbreez
  • Materials to supply US defence sector

Saudi Arabia’s Tariq Abdel Hadi Abdullah Al-Qahtani & Brothers Company (TQB) and Nasdaq-listed Critical Metals Corp have signed a preliminary agreement to build a $1.5 billion rare earth processing facility in the kingdom.

The two companies have set up an equally owned joint venture for the purpose of processing 25 percent of the anticipated rare earths from Critical Metals’ planned Tanbreez mine in south Greenland. The facility, location and capacity of the facility were not disclosed.

The refined material will be supplied to the US defence sector, Critical Metals said in a statement. 

The processing plant in Saudi Arabia is expected to produce separated rare earth oxides, metals and downstream products, including magnet-grade materials suitable for aerospace, defence and high-performance industrial applications.

Critical Metals has already pre-sold 75 percent of planned output between the US and Europe.

As part of the deal, Critical Metals and TQB will collaborate over the coming months to finalise the technical, commercial and regulatory foundations of the joint venture, including plant design, development timelines, product specifications and commercialisation strategy. 

A jointly governed development committee will oversee engineering, construction, commissioning and market entry for processed rare earth products.

Tony Sage, chairman of Critical Metals, said the establishment of a processing platform in Saudi Arabia not only diversifies global rare earth processing capacity beyond China but also strengthens supply chain security for allied nations across Europe, the Middle East and beyond.

This week, the White House reiterated US President Donald Trump’s desire for the US to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, describing the move as a matter of national survival and strategic security.

In June 2025, Critical Metals received a letter of interest from the US Export-Import Bank for a loan of up to $120 million to finance its Tanbreez rare earths mine in Greenland.

Exploring Market Buzz: Unique Opportunities in Cryptocurrencies

Exploring Market Buzz: Unique Opportunities in Cryptocurrencies

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, recent developments have sparked significant interest. A closer look at pricing forecasts for Cardano (ADA) and rumors surrounding a Solana (SOL) ETF, coupled with the emergence of a promising new entrant, Layer Brett, reveals a complex market dynamic. Cardano's Prospects: A Closer Look Cardano, a stalwart in the blockchain space, continues to hold its ground with its research-driven development strategy. The latest price predictions for ADA suggest potential gains, predicting a double or even quadruple increase in its valuation. Despite these optimistic forecasts, the allure of exponential gains drives traders toward more speculative ventures. The Buzz Around Solana ETF The potential introduction of a Solana ETF has the crypto community abuzz, potentially catapulting SOL prices to new heights. As investors await regulatory decisions, the impact of such an ETF on Solana's value could be substantial, potentially reaching up to $300. However, as with Cardano, the substantial market capitalization of Solana may temper its growth potential. Why Layer Brett is Gaining Traction Amidst established names, a new contender, Layer Brett, has started to capture the market's attention with its early presale stages. Offering a low entry price of just $0.0058 and promising over 700% in staking rewards, Layer Brett presents a tempting proposition for those looking to maximize returns. Comparative Analysis: ADA, SOL, and $LBRETT While both ADA and SOL offer stable investment choices with reliable growth, Layer Brett emerges as a high-risk, high-reward option that could potentially offer significantly higher returns due to its nascent market position and aggressive economic model. Initial presale pricing lets investors get in on the ground floor. Staking rewards currently exceed 690%, a persuasive incentive for early adopters. Backed by Ethereum's Layer 2 for enhanced transaction speed and reduced costs. A community-focused $1 million giveaway to further drive engagement and investor interest. Predicted by some analysts to offer up to 50x returns in coming years. Shifting Sands: Investor Movements As the crypto market landscape shifts, many investors, including those traditionally holding ADA and SOL, are beginning to diversify their portfolios by turning to high-potential opportunities like Layer Brett. The combination of strategic presale pricing and significant staking rewards is creating a momentum of its own. Act Fast: Time-Sensitive Opportunities As September progresses, opportunities to capitalize on these low entry points and high yield offerings from Layer Brett are likely to diminish. With increasing attention and funds being directed towards this new asset, the window to act is closing quickly. Invest in Layer Brett now to secure your position before the next price hike and staking rewards reduction.
