Gold, graphite and rare earths in West Greenland

Disko Gold is advancing a gold-first exploration portfolio with strategic exposure to graphite and rare earth elements (REEs) — minerals that underpin modern energy, electronics and advanced technology — in partnership with the communities of Greenland.

Why Disko Gold matters

The company combines high-grade reported gold results with early-stage graphite and REE exposure in an underexplored part of the North Atlantic Craton.

Gold — our foundation

A cornerstone metal with reported high-grade results

Gold remains essential to global finance, electronics, aerospace and medical devices. Across Eqi, Attu and Itilliarsuk, historic sampling and limited drilling have documented gold in veins, breccias, shear zones and banded iron formation (BIF) settings.

Reported results include grab samples up to 60 g/t Au at Eqi and a drill intersection of 12 g/t Au over 3.8 m at Eqi West. These are exploration results, not a mineral resource.

Critical minerals — our strategic advantage

Graphite and rare earth elements for advanced technology

Graphite is a principal component of lithium-ion battery anodes. Magnet rare earths — including neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) — are used in electric-vehicle motors, wind turbines, robotics, defence and aerospace.

Akuliaruseq is a historically drill-tested flake-graphite system. The Attu carbonatite is an early-stage REE–Sr–Ba dyke with reported specimen-scale TREO up to 12.4%. Neither is a defined resource.

The people behind the work

The Barnes Family Legacy

Three generations of the Barnes family have worked in Greenland since 1996. Kris Barnes, Non-Executive Chairman of Disko Gold, now applies that experience to a gold-first exploration portfolio in West Greenland — with graphite and rare earths as strategic technology minerals.

The family’s prior Greenland work includes Tanbreez. That history is a track record, not a Disko Gold resource or valuation.

Investor highlights

Gold-first portfolio

Three gold projects — Eqi, Attu and Itilliarsuk — sit within exclusive exploration licences granted 20 April 2026 over a combined 160 km².

High-grade reported results

Historic sampling and limited drilling have returned high-grade gold results, including up to 60 g/t Au at Eqi. Continuity and mineable widths remain unproven.

Strategic graphite and REE exposure

Akuliaruseq offers a historic 7 km flake-graphite dataset. Attu Carbonatite provides early-stage rare earth element potential.

Greenland project setting

The portfolio lies in central West Greenland, around Disko Bay, Ilulissat and the Attu district — a remote but established exploration jurisdiction.

Community-first approach

Disko Gold’s stated principle is that mineral exploration must benefit the people who live here. Practices and intentions are set out on the Sustainability page.

Underexplored district, historic datasets

The gold properties sit in Archean to Paleoproterozoic terranes with government mapping, academic research and historic company work still to be tested with modern programmes.

Community and environment

Disko Gold is built on a simple principle: mineral exploration must benefit the people who live here.

  • Local employment
  • Local procurement
  • Training
  • Respect for cultural values
  • Open communication
  • Low-impact, helicopter-supported exploration
  • Early environmental baseline work
  • Protection of water, wildlife and sensitive areas

These are operating principles and intentions. They are not claims that agreements, outcomes or certifications already exist.

Our vision

To become Greenland’s most trusted exploration company — advancing gold and critical minerals in partnership with local communities, while supporting the global transition to clean energy and advanced technology.
