报道称格陵兰稀土矿商被阻止出售给中国企业
Greenland rare earth miner lobbied not to sell to Chinese: reports
据称稀土矿商Tanbreez Mining Greenland在美国和丹麦官员的推动下，没有将其格陵兰项目出售给一家中国企业控制的实体。
Rare earth miner Tanbreez Mining Greenland is said to have been pushed by US and Danish officials not to sell its Greenland project to a Chinese-controlled entity.
该公司总部位于格陵兰Nuuk，已获得开采Tanbreez矿床的许可证，该矿床是全球已知最大的稀土矿床之一。据估计，该矿床拥有47亿吨的多种资源。
The company, headquartered in Nuuk, Greenland, was granted an exploitation licence to mine the Tanbreez deposit – one of the largest known rare earths deposits globally. It is estimated to hold 4.7 billion tonnes in multiple resources.
同名项目预计年产量为50万吨，预计明年投产。
The project of the same name is expected to have an output of 500,000 t/y, with first production earmarked for next year.
在外交压力下，Tanbreez于去年6月以2.11亿美元的价格将该项目92.5%的股份出售给Critical Metals Corp (CRML)，换取CRML的股份和500万美元现金。在澳大利亚上市的European Lithium则继续持有该项目7.5%的股份。
Amid diplomatic pressure, Tanbreez sold 92.5% of the project to Critical Metals Corp (CRML) for $211 million in exchange for CRML shares and $5m in cash, last June. Australia-listed European Lithium maintained the 7.5% share it already held in the project.
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，CRML由European Lithium和空白支票公司Sizzle Acquisition Corp合并而成，CRML在纳斯达克上市。
CRML was formed from the business combination of European Lithium and blank check company Sizzle Acquisition Corp. CRML is listed on the Nasdaq, Kallanish notes.
世界上大部分稀土供应链都由中国公司控制，西方国家正在寻找替代来源，以减少对中国的依赖。
Most of the world’s rare earth supply chain is controlled by Chinese companies, with Western countries looking for alternative sources to reduce their dependence on Beijing.
Critical Metals首席执行官Tony Sage告诉路透社记者：“有很大压力迫使他们不出售给中国企业。”
“There was a lot of pressure not to sell to China,” Tony Sage, ceo of Critical Metals, told Reuters.
据报道，中国竞标者的出价高于Critical Metals。
Chinese bidders reportedly offered more than Critical Metals.
Critical Metals表示，该公司聚焦于“为北美”开发稀土供应，一直在与国防承包商Lockheed Martin讨论潜在的供应交易，并将与RTX和波音公司洽谈。Sage补充说：“我们已经在与美国商讨出售稀土并在美国建造加工厂的事宜。”
With a focus on unlocking rare earth supply “for North America,” Critical Metals says it has been in discussion for potential supply deals with defence contractor Lockheed Martin and will also talk with RTX and Boeing. “We’re already in discussions with the US to sell [rare earths] and build the processing plant in the US,” Sage adds.

本周早些时候，美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，如果丹麦不放弃对这个矿产资源丰富的岛屿的控制，他将对其征收“非常高的”关税。在一次电视讲话中，他提出“国家安全”方面的担忧，并称该岛附近有“几艘”俄罗斯和中国船只。他补充说，他不排除使用军事力量来控制这片领土，这已经引起丹麦和其他北约盟国的愤怒。
Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump said he would implement “very high” tariffs on Denmark if it doesn’t relinquish control of the mineral-rich island. In a televised speech, he suggested “national security” concerns, citing “several” Russian and Chinese ships in its proximity. He added he wouldn’t rule out the use of military force to take control of the territory, which has caused outrage with Denmark and other NATO allies.
丹麦外交部表示，如果格陵兰居民愿意，格陵兰可以独立，但不会成为美国的一个州。
Danish foreign ministry said that Greenland could become independent if its residents want, but it wouldn’t become a US state.
